Blackout

Character Background

Blackout is the massive Decepticon infiltrator famous for the opening attack on the SOCCENT airbase in the 2007 Transformers film. This figure was released in 2011 as part of the Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Commander Class, providing a smaller-scale but detailed representation of the character for the third movie's toy line.

Key Features:

• Includes a small, non-transforming Scorponok figure that can be stored in the rear of the helicopter mode.
• Equipped with two detachable gatling gun accessories that utilize the "C-clip" joint system common to the Cyberverse line.
• Features a rotating main rotor and a folding tail section for transformation.

Alt Modes and Real-World Inspiration

• Robot Mode: A bulky, screen-accurate robot design featuring the helicopter's cockpit as the chest and rotor blades stored on the back.
• Helicopter Mode: Based on the Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift transport helicopter.

Collectibility

Collectors value this figure for being one of the most accurate "pocket-sized" versions of Blackout, particularly because it includes the iconic Scorponok companion which is often omitted in smaller scales. While it lacks the complexity of larger Leader-class figures, its compatibility with Cyberverse playsets and "C-clip" weapons makes it highly desirable for movie-verse completionists. Potential buyers should be wary of the thin plastic on the rotor blades, which can be prone to stress marks, and should ensure the easily misplaced Scorponok and guns are present when buying used.
