if you do, what's your opinion on him?
I know he's really just an Autobot repaint of Blackout with a different head, but he still looks cool

thanks

Yup.

Improved Blackout in everyway.

I like him a lot, but he's got a lot of orange that could use some detailing, esp. in alt mode. The life raft/hand-gun is a great touch. His joints seem stiffer than Blackout's, but that might be QC or the fact that my Blackout is several months old.

Evac's automorph gave me a really hard time, tho, to the point where I opened him up and reset the gears. It helped a little, but it's still harder than Blackout.

Great head sculpt, great "look" in alt mode. If you like the mold or if you need more Autobot air power he's worth it.

I've got him. I highly recommend him. I like him better than Blackout and hiss paint job, weapon, and head and arm sculpts actually make him look a lot more distinct from his original mold counterpart than other repaints might.

Are all of the Allspark toys out now? I keep checking stores and Hasbro hasn't posted anything new. I'm not sure people bought these through ebay or if they are out in stores.

Well, I've seen Landmine, Camshaft, Cliffjumper, and, just yesterday, Evac out in stores. No incinerator yet, though, which is the only one I really want. Well, him and Stockade.

I have him and I'd say he's definantly worth it. Looks good with Ratchet as a super-medic team.

Cool! Thanks. I'll just keep hunting.

I've seen one of each of the first wave all spark voyagers at one Wal-Mart (I bought the Evac). I haven't seen any deluxes at all anywhere--all the stores near me restocked recently with old deluxes--except the TRUs who are pretty barren--I'm hoping they restock soon with AS Deluxes.

I still haven't seen Evac yet :-(

All I have found was a First Strike Prime last week, and the Walmart employee refused to look in the stockroom for any other figures for me. I even said please...

Yeah, I've seen First Strike Prime too, and Nightwatch Prime, and a whole bunch of the Legends. I want none of these.

I FINALLY GOT HIM!!! He's pretty cool.

News Credits: 8 · by **Liege Evilmus** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:19 pm

TRU on rt46 Totowa NJ had him earlier this week.

Did nothing for me in hand so I put him back, I bet he's gone now though.

The Blackout mold sucks, C'mon he's a deluxe with a big stupid back pack.

Incinerator is the same.

I thought Incinerator was voyager size.

To each his own, and I can agree a bit about Blackout/Evac, but I'm jumping on Incinerator w/ both arms and both legs when I find him, might even get 2 to recreate the opening desert scene. Geek that way. :-B

I got Evac tonight at my local Walmart. He's great. I always loved the Blackout mold and Evac is just as good if not better! I like the orange and white deco and the little rescue raft that comes with him. The new head mold is a nice touch unlike so many repaints that don't bother to change the head. Evac is easily one of the better repaints out there.

News Credits: 2 · by **Moonbase2** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 12:26 pm

I've seen Evac a couple times. I hated Blackout so much that I ended up throwing him away. After his blades came off for the umpteenth time and his annoying transformation, I just lost it. No way am I going to buy the same toy in brighter colors.

I also refuse to keep buying the same toy just because it's painted differently. Also, I saw the capture of Bumblebee and Scorponok battle set and I'm not paying $20 for toys I already have just because they have little men included.

by **Chevy_Ironhide** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:50 pm

Well I don't have Blackout, he and Megatron are the only Cons I need right now. If I get him he's gonna have a pretty good role in the stop motion movie I'm working on, with him being a repaint of a Decepticon and all.

Sadly enough, I am. Plus I know I'll be getting the premiem paint figs when they come out and I have the original releases too.

Hasbro had this all planned in order to milk the movie license. The date stamped on the bottom of the little men is 1996.

by **Chevy_Ironhide** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 11:03 pm

Well I got him tonight, and he's pretty cool. I hated the friggin shoulders though, but other than that hes not bad. I know its been discussed on here with Blackout, but how do you remove his blades and put them in his hands?

by **Ultra Prime** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 11:02 pm

I picked up Evac and First Strike Prime yesterday. I have to say that Evac just rocks. I never realized how much I like my TF's to have some color to their paint schemes until I had Evac next to Blackout.

And the most important thing? Evac's automorph operated very easily and smoothly. His shoulders were tight enough yet movable enough to facilitate transformation without me swearing up a storm. My Blackout is forever staying in robot mode because of his very difficult automorph. But Evac I can see transforming him every now and then with out any trouble. :APPLAUSE:

I hate Blackout. Always have and always will. With that said, I couldn't resist checking out the improvements made to the mold with Evac.

Love it! This figure slays Blackout in every way. Great color scheme, and all the joints are tight. The automorph actually works, and the hands are much better as well.

I still like Cybertron Evac better, though. Now THAT'S an awesome helicopter mold.
