Is there anyone else who is disappointed in the robot height of
voyager Blackout? I wish they would make a leader class version of the character, because he's depicted as a huge Decepticon, and they made a leader version of Devastator.

He's definitely way too small, especially since he's the largest 'Con...

Put him next to your FABS and he's back in scale.

Haven't we been true this in the past?

Oh, come on! Be happy everyone!

Yes, Blackout is too small. Way way too small. So is Starscream. I posted about that before. With pictures! F-22 are very very big.

Yep. I used to have Voy Blackout posed w/ all Legends BB, Jazz, and Ratchet. Works pretty well.

As fun as a Leader Class Blackout would be, they could never make it to scale w/ the other Leaders, or even w/ the Deluxes. It would have to be 2 feet tall and cost $100, forget it. What would that be, Ultra Mega Supreme Balls-Out Class?

If you were lucky enough to find Voyager Blackout, I say that's reward enough.

Although, it would be funny to have a Leader Blackout, that includes a spring-loaded Deluxe Scorponok.

I still love my Blackout, he was my first Voyager from the movie toyline that i got. It wasn't untill i picked up Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet that i saw how small he is compared to em, but i could care less he is still an awsome figure. Blackout is still a great toy, so he is a tad small *shrug*. I think too many people critique these guys a tad too much

I never got Blackout, even though after bumblebee he was one of the first I wanted from the movie.

A lot of you whined about him being too small, which bothered me a little, but in the end I've heard most people say that he is very likely to break... so I ended up not going for him.

If you like scale, then Transformers is the wrong hobby for you.

He is fine the size he is for a Voyager. The only reason he is so small is because of the ridiculous backpack he has to have so he can have his rotating copter blade gimmick.

just cause I'm Cujo again.....

by **Fred2012** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 5:05 pm

this is too funny, i had a dream last night where i got all the remaining movie tfs for christmas, and i looked at blackout and i thought, "why does he look so tiny?" lol

BlackOut being to small is about one of the only things I've seen agreed on in this fandom.

Alot of people are screaming for a leader class, I'm just moving forward, cause yeah, scale is something we'll never have in the relm of TF toys.

idk...i'm kinda torn about this. (again i'm new so if someone mentioned this prior, i apologize)

He kinda looks different sizes in the film when i think about it. In his first appearance in kataar (spelling?) he looked very large. But when he flew into the city and transfromed towards teh end of movie, he didn't look as big. Maybe it's just me...idk

Voyager Blackout is about 1/89 scale from the math I did. Of course that's going by how big the real helicopter, which is even a bit bigger than they depicted him in the movie. Some toys with similar scale include Cybertron Legends Jetfire, Cybertron Quickmix, Movie Voyager Starscream and Thundercracker, the G1 Seekers and G1 Warpath.

maybe we'll luck out and a leader calss will come out :PRAY:

by **TheStarScreamer** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 7:02 am

I'm not usualy too big on scale as opposed to accurate sculpt, but this lacks in both departments. I still like it, but he needed to be Leader size from the get-go because he s supposed to dwarf the other Transformers. I read somewhere that Blackout is supposedly transportation for all the other Decepticons, meaning he should at least be larger than Starscream.

We definitely need a Leader class Blackout. bonecrusher too.
