Shouldn't he be FAR taller than Optimus or Megs? Guess he's not in scale then...

Movie 1 Megatron was bigger than Blackout. Grindor in RotF was much bigger than them

According to this chart, you're right. But even MPM Optimus is not in scale.
I think the best respect of scale so far is in the Studio Series.

Gods, he looks magnificent! Glad I held off on buying Grindor and Ravage now. This is far superior. The only movie Decepticon I really like the design of, this MPM shall replace the original Blackout toy I still have on my shelves. (One of two movie figures I still own.)

I won't take away from those who want to get this Blackout figure. But I'm not going to get one. I had the 2007 Blackout voyager figure, but wound up ditching it for several reasons. And all of those reasons seem to have carried over to every re-make of Blackout, whether it be Studio Series, Masterpiece, or other.
The figure is just too floppy and fiddly. It takes too much time and effort to transform it, making the transformation a frustrating chore. Neither mode seems to hold together very well. The robot mode is hampered with far too much kibble getting in the way - the rotors, the flaps, and all kinds of things which make the articulation joints pointless because you can't extend any of the limbs without parts crashing. And the thing just takes up too much space. The rotor blades extend out so far, you have to clear out half a shelf just for this one figure.
So, polite pass.

Funnily, most of these are reasons I'm excited for this guy. Loooove these figures that really look and feel like complex, living machines (which, for all their faults, is an aesthetic the Bayverse movies absolutely nailed), with innumerable and overlaying parts, for whom transformation will be occasional but a full-on project. Plus that massive shelf presence is so cool.
Definitely agreed that this is more of a display piece than a toy though. Can't imagine recommending this to someone who's planning to play with it a lot.

For those, I'd recommend the old Fast Action Battler. Transformation is simple, he looks the part, and he's solid fun!

We have quite a bit of MPM Blackout news for you today. Firstly, this toy is up at Amazon Japan for preorders, and we thank Kanrabat for letting us know.
But if you are in the US, you might just find him in stores RIGHT NOW. Zuckuss found him at at a Target in New Jersey. That was first reported here.

My target has gotten all the mom figures, and sold almost all of them before other stores started clearancing them. I've passed on all of them though. This one however, I'm super tempted to get

Yeah, when you add the taxes, they both come out to the same price.

Grr, missed him, and now I am playing the same in-stock-out-of-stock game I did with Rexy where i ultimately got her at BBTS.
