If they can make a G2 Menasor, surely they can figure out Animated Blackout. Maybe some kind of crazy 10-year-Aniversary crossover online-exclusive thing, with green Ratchets and tattooed Starscreams?

At least we can agree on Skyhammer

Burn, while I share your G1.5 enthusiasm, I cannot support your disdain for our lord and savior Alpha Bravo.
I wouldn't have such disdain for him if SOMEONE (who I won't name but his name starts with V, ends in L and has a'a in the middle) made him out to be something relevant!

Yes, that is the issue with Animated and Bayformers, really. The style is carried across pretty much the entire line, and if you don't like either, you really don't like them. I personally don't mind (and in fact really like Animated), but I understand entirely.
Delta Magnus wrote:That's the funny thing. I do like the style of both Animated and the movies. I can also see how this would work really well in the cartoon. But in plastic form he just looks kinda...doofy?
Delta Magnus wrote:I have yet to actually watch Animated, unfortunately. I'll get round to it eventually.
I do love the style though, especially on 'cons (though the Autobots from the line look great too). Some guys I'm looking to get once I've cleared some space are Oil Slick, Swindle and Prowl.

Great guys to start with! Some of those will be appearing on upcoming lists

Where did you rank 07 Blackout?
Super kind of you!
As for Blackout, I have trouble with him (I have Grindor btw). The helicopter mode is great, no doubt about it, but I just have a huge issue with how little the robot looks with all those copter bits surrounding it. It's like there is a helicopter and a robot but they don’t share the same space. Plus, I think he is a big victim of the bay aesthetic, especially the face and legs. So while the mold is cool (like with that extra playability mode), he didn’t quite make the cut for me compared to the others. If his bot mode was more imposing and if he had more vehicle integration, it would be different. Glad you like him though!

TK415 wrote:While I am not trying to disagree with you WJ, or convince you otherwise, and I am sure you would feel the same if you had Blackout, I think what you described is exaggerated on Grindor and not as bad on Blackout.
I think that Blackout is more cohesive and doesn’t suffer nearly as much as Grindor does from those drawbacks. The black and white contrast draws those drawbacks out a bit more. On Blackout the dark colors blend better, making the figure more seamless. The legs, head, and robot percentage compared to copter are more glaring on Grindor. To me Blackout looks like a massive football player like a lineman, or like an ogre, all massive body and muscle.

Do you own the toy? It's not very good.
