Fellow Seibertronian D-Banks went beyond the call of duty by sending his Transformers Movie Blackout prototype to the Seibertron.com headquarters for Seibertron to photograph in order to share pictures with the entire community. It was truly an honor to have D-Banks share this figure with us. Hopefully you will enjoy looking at the pictures of this truly incredible figure. Without further delay you can check out 176 images of Blackout.

Once you are done checking out Blackout, do not forget to check out the rest of Seibertron.com's Toy Galleries.

awesome gallery....I do love the pic of Blackout next to Vortex. It proves that Blackout could make an awesome Vortex custom

Fantastic transformation. Hasbro have excelled themselves with some of these guys. Also, rotorswords!

Yeah, this guy rocks! But man, those white mickey-mouse hands look awful! If it wasn't for those, this toy would be a perfect 10.

But because of those hands, Evac will retain his title of "coolest helicopter Transformer"

I cant wait for this guy

In retrospect, I would have totally bought this guy as Soundwave, the colours, the minion, even the face could pass as a much more alien Soundwave.

Even Vortex would have worked, given how the vehicles mode look so similar (thanks for the comparison pics Ryan!)

Still, Blackout is a really cool name, and he works as a new character, let's just hope the real "Soundwave" if we get him in the sequels, will do justice to his name.

Unfortunately there's still a couple things I was hoping to see in the gallery that didn't make it in.

A) A comparison pic with Evac.

B) A test of those things that look like Minicon Ports. If Blackout could carry all three of the old Armada Night Attack team (two on his weapon mounts and one in Scorponok's cargo bay) that would actually be a selling point for me.

And I have to say, the face puts me off much more than the officer's gloves.

I think Blackout was the best made TF toy for the movie. All the others look cheap to me.

"Get in ze chappa!"
I really dig the 'I'm going to rape you and eat your babies' evil-robot feel, but it doesn't feel like a Transformer to me.

This is easily my favourite toy from the movie of what I've seen. It's too bad that he seems to be relatively weak and a bit of a loser (based on the prequel book to the movie).

He'd make a great Gobots: Classics figure though.

Which isn't necessarily an insult mind you, just a comment on the 'feel' of its general aesthetic.

One of the best movie figures I've seen so far! Can't wait to get my hands on one! :grin:

Nice pics, for some reason, no... I just don't care to have him, ....now, but maybe after the movie....a big maybe, he's looks cool for an robotic alien, a nice conversation piece.
