I am kind of digging Blackout.

The Animated toyline is far from dead, as figures that were shown at San Diego Comic Con 2009 appear to be well under production. GenZhao of KOToys has gotten his hands on two Voyager Class figures, Animated Blackout and Animated Thundercracker. Animated Blackout is a brand new mold. He takes the shape of the monstrosity that we saw in the Animated episode 'TransWarped', and is clearly paying homage to Movie Blackout. Thundercracker is a repaint of Animated Voyager Starscream, who had only previously been an Activatorfigure. With this slew of Animated Voyager figures being seen now, you can expect pictures of Wingblade Optimus Prime to show up very soon.

Remember that these photos are not always to be the final product, and are far from what we may see when they are released. The Animated toy line, unlike the Animated TV series, is expected to resume after the Revenge of the Fallen toy line starts to die down. Animated will be released subsequently with Universe 3.0 in the second half of 2010. You can check out the rest of the galleries of each picture here; Thundercracker - Blackout.

I concur.I don't like the animated line much, a few figs here and there but I find Blackout kinda cool..

[Jetstorm92210]

Thundercracker lives up to his name, Blackout,IS SO **** BIG!!!! I WANT BOTH!!!

[Prowl1529]

Finally voyager Thundercracker. That Blackout is awesome too. Those two are so mine. I only see pictures of future Transformers Animated can anyone please tell me when those boys are out for sale or when preorders are going to open. For now we are only seing more and more toys from the movie and nothing more.

Oh darn.

Next time, I'll see the full gallery, at least he is bigger than Lugnut, . I still like Blackout.

[Tekka]

Midget Lugnut never fails to amuse me.

Also... I want that oversized Starscream... but only in SW colours.

[kirbenvost]

Thundercracker will be purchased so I can have a proper seeker set. The baby blue sticks out a little too much, but that's minor. Too bad we didn't know about this before I bought the activator version.

Thundercracker is another step in completing the Starscream clones, just Dirge, Slipstream, and Liar Starscream left to go.

I bet these will be next years Botcon figures.

Blackout's vehicle looks pretty good (guns guns!), though his robot mode....is not my style. I would only get him for his helicopter gunship form, and to place beside Energon Bulkhead.

[Convotron]

I'm digging Thundercracker's colour scheme. I've got the other TFA Seekers so I must get this one too. I'm a fan of TFA and the Blackout design, movie and TFA, so this is also a must buy for me. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming wave of TFA toys.

Thanks so much for finding these photos!

[blurr199]

you kidding me? blackout is ugly! he might be better if he had oh say a neck?

[heltskelt]

Blackout does have a neck, short, but a loyal representation of what we saw in the cartoon. I'm not digging the size, though. This is why i never got Lugnut. Movie Blackout was already a disappointment, and now this. And, any animated fan who says they're not getting Thundercracker are either lying or crazy. Bring on the coneheads!

[Jacob P. Galvatron]

Well, I just got the other Seekers last month, so...
Yeah, I'll probably get Thundercracker.

[Sabrblade]

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme!

[Irken17]

about blackout, whats up with hasbro's obsession with making the toys of the largest transformers animated characters so small? seriously, bulkhead, lugnut, and now blackout

[Mkall]

It's a nice relief seeing figures that aren't part of the ROTF line.

[It Is Him]

Blackout,IS SO **** BIG!!!!

He sure is...



Oh darn.

I'm pretty sure that Starscream is the KO Leader-class size.

[Convotron]

about blackout, whats up with hasbro's obsession with making the toys of the largest transformers animated characters so small? seriously, bulkhead, lugnut, and now blackout

I agree, though there's a Leader class Bulkhead that scales well. I originally passed on Voyager Lugnut because even as a Voyager class figure, he's small. But I found him for $10 so I picked it up for my collection.

[Solrac333]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Blackout looks like a big fat tick.

[Megatron Wolf]

Since i could never find Skywarp ill be getting Thundercracker if i can find him. Blackout on the other hand wont be joining my collection.

[WolfDawg]

I'm definitely getting Blackout. He's a great representation of his movie counterpart. That's a pretty big feat too; especially when you consider how different the movieverse bots are from the animatedverse bots. Movie Blackout in Animated styling and Animated Lockdown in Movie styling...I'm loving this!!!
