SWeet. I love the way Blackout looks... Huge, powerful, and overed in guns.
The scorponok minifig is a cute touch, too.

I think that they got the sizes of the two characters right.

I can get into the toys a lot better than I can the actual characters from the movie. It's easier to see Blackout from a new perspective since he's an original character. Very nice.

I hate the way the tail end sticks out behind him. It almost looks like hes resting on it. I really hope he can stand without it supporting him.

Outstanding figure, His face kind of reminds me of Cybertron Menasor. Helicopters are hard to do well transformation-wise so props for trying and coming up good...

I like him, but is it just me or does he look flat?
His pannels need some etching, they look like they've been ironed, instead of that craggy look the movie picks we've seen so far have.

It would be nice if the tail could be folded or split in halves like wings in resemblance to that of Cybertron Evac so we can prevent this "tripod" problem.

i still dont get y scorponok is smaller than blackout

yeah that's another thing that was bothering me too. I have no problem with an insect-like weapon that comes off the main tf but calling him scorponok is a bit confusing since we are used to the idea of scorponok being a huge destructive machine, not just big to the humans but also intimidatingly large to the other tfs.

Uh, apparently none of you have seen the other pictures of Blackout? His "backpack" is actually a giant, hand-held weapon. He doesn't require it to be on his back the whole time...
Just fyi.

Thanks for that, I actually didn't know that. All the pics I've seen have the giant chopper part fixed to his back. Have you any links, kind Sir?

Scorpie is his minicon in some form. Kind of cool. Love him and will pick up. Love his overall design and transformation. AWESOME!

Easiest thing in the world to touch up. A friend of mine likes to use black shoe polish to bring out the details on his vehicles and droids (he's a Star Wars collector). It gives the plastic a metallic sheen and sinks into the lines making them nice and black. I usualy prefer to do a wash with black or gunmetal paint, but it's the same idea. Smear something dark into the cracks and wipe it off of the tops.
Blackout looks like he'd take to this treatment extremely well. (especially his hands!)

This is why a new generation will learn the meaning of Decepticon. It's great. I'm gonna be busy getting all these Transformers. So I know what I'm planning to do the rest of this year.

i'm to lazy at the moment to find the link, but if you scroll through the forum and find the other thread about blackout and look at the pictures in there, there is one
where the copter part is being held like a gun. So it has to either be detatchable or could swing in some manner
i got over it...here's the link. Look at the 8th picture down.

That looks very unwieldy, and all it could do would create a very, very strong tornado. Then again, that could be why all those tanks are flying around in the preview(no spoilers if you know different). It still looks cool though.
Anyway, Blackout looks like a very good movie figure.

Well... I won the auction. I've loved the idea of Blackout (and his scene in the trailer just makes him even cooler) and have never thought of owning a test shot so I went crazy and bought it! I'm pretty excited to get my hands on it. If anyone wants pics after it arrives, let me know.

Figure arrived today!!! Overall its a great figure. The transformation is satisfying... it has a little bit of the Automorph technology. When you pull the legs down his head swings up (hard to explain). The only problem is its tricky to get everything to line back up when changing back to helicopter mode. He does have flip down feet in the back to balance the figure if need be, and the helicopter blades look pretty bad ass when he's holding it. I love Blackout and I love this figure. This is a must have.
