Who is your favorite "new" character from live action Transformers movies?

In kindergarten a kid told me that Blackout got his name by causing blackouts in cities in the movie and from that moment I thought he was badass lmao

Blackout is exactly who the movie needed. As the first Deception on screen, he sets the tone for just how dangerous and destructive the Deceptions can be. His alt-mode works very well to establish dread in the opening. No other vehicle would be as intimidating, and the design is in my top 5 Decepticons in the movies.

Blackout introduction was perfect, the scene was jaw dropping and amazing, to this day it still gives me goosebumps.

The first time I ever heard of Blackout was when it was the name of a Mini-Con from Transformers: Armada. So, by the time I saw the ‘07 film, I was already familiar with the name. But, I didn’t expect him to have a head design that had a minuscule Gundam design influence, armed to the teeth with missiles, EMP shockwave emitters, chainguns, rotor blades that can act as a buzzsaw melee weapon, and transform into an MH-53 Pave Low helicopter. Whoever came up with that idea is a genius imo.

That movie took him and Barricade and turned them from super obscure into actually relevant characters.

Blackout and Barricade r ironically my fav Decepticons in 2007 they were just so cool

He was so good that the second movie was like “let’s throw this same robot model but give it a different name in it” Gotta be one of the best Bayverse decepticon designs ever :o

Blackout being Soundwave was dropped due to Hasbro say in the matter, they didn't want him turning into anything other than a stereo so much so that in the TV show at the same time Animated, Sound turned into a SUV with Stereos. After the success of the first movie they decided to be leinent on the issue.

Blackout was the best Decepticon in the films with how well he was introduced to having a pretty balanced design all things considered. He may not have spoken but he still radiated character. If only the rest of them had gotten as good enough treatment.

Blackout existed previously as a micromaster who formed a B1 stealth bomber with another decepticon, however his bio made him out to be rather cowardly rather than the decepticon who was gonna run the ones with Optimus in the end had it not been for Lennox third partying him. Even though he died his introduction attacking the military base is still one of my favorite bits of transformers media as it made the cons feel incredibly terrifying as, if some no name was THIS deadly that he effortlessly destroyed a military base, then how terrifying was someone like MEGATRON gonna be? I wish they kept that tone with the movies after DOTM as the cons in movies 4 and 5 were weak by comparison.

Here me out, the designer team at transformers should do a G1esk styled movieverse Blackout in the legacy line as a leader class. I know it wasn't the most popular with the prime characters but I feel it could work here because we already have a retail and masterpiece version of him out for about 5ish years now, instead of the prime character that had to wait about 10 years.

Honestly, Blackout is an underrated decpticon and deserves way more recognition along with Barricade

Am i the only one left who still wants Studio series figures of that Waste Management trash truck transformer we saw briefly in Dark of the Moon and in Age of Extinction and Trench the Caterpillar Excavator in the Last Knight?

Keep in mind, 07 movie made up not just 1 decepticon, BUT 2. And both of them are pretty iconic for the franchise.

Recent MPMs & modern 3rd party Bayverse figures are just getting more and more accurate. It feels like a good time to be alive!!

Honestly Blackout was pretty cool. It was a good way to showcase how the transformers would look -and he was the very first live action transformer really to be shown.

Yea. Blackout stands out among the other Live Action Decepticons as he was the first transformer to appear in the movie and he immediately wreck havoc after his introduction. You should do more videos about Decepticons 🎉

I loved playing TF1 on my ps2 when I was little and him being the first decepticon you played as. Good times ,🤙

RIB FIR 4 Life!!!🤣🤣🤣 My parents spoiled me & my siblings as kids. Hell, it was the 80's & he was a union electrician. We were the definition of middle class 'Murica. My brother & I spent many birthdays & holidays trying to decipher just how in the hell to transform our gifts. When we got stuck, there was always Dad. Fast forward twenty some years. I spent most of the spring & early summer of 2007 in hospitals. Who knew that a massive, crippling exacerbation could be your first symptom of multiple sclerosis? Not this guy!😂 I now had a toddler of my own. Trying to get back on my feet was my priority. I had completely forgotten about the movie's release. During my rehab, my father asked if I could have a day trip. We were going to the movies. And the theater served beer! And it was glorious! Sure it was schlocky, had some questionable racism sprinkled in, but damned if it wasn't big dumb fun! "Orgasmic" really was the perfect way to describe that Blackout scene. One of my son's Christmas gifts that year was Blackout. Who gets a three-year-old one of the toughest toys to transform? His Pappap. My dad passed in 2017. Sadly, I don't have many pictures of him with my son. I do have one from Christmas of 2007. They are sitting on the living room floor, transforming Blackout. Great video! Sorry for rambling on & getting all emotional. Sometimes life really is a beautiful circle.

Great complete video. Thank you for your work man

I love him. He didn't say a word and that's okay. Bought the masterpiece this week so this video is kinda funny to me lol

Very cool video as always :)

Blackout is a character we all love and where we got into the bayverse.

Boackout is my favorite transformer. I got the MPM 13 BLACKOUT, The most recent amd most accurate toy yet, on my desk at work

Nice video bro. Liked everything about it and agree 100%. I bought mpm-13 KO instead of ss ko

i hope to see blackout and grinder in there animated designs in a future transformers series

grindor appeared in transformers animated based off of his armada version, also bayverse grindor had to be called grinder in transfomrers animated

1:38 There actually was another Blackout in Transformers Energon which turned into a helicopter. He was part of the combiner Bruticus Maximus, and despite the name none of the members had the names of the G1 combaticons; also the “not Onslaught” of the team was named Barricade.

i hope to see shadowhawk (terroncon blackout) in a future transformers series, also hope to see blackout in his armada design in a future transformers series, as well as hoping to see teiden (autobot version of armada blackout) in a future transformers series, along with seeing grinder (decepticon version of armada grindor) in a future transformers series too

Exelent vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He was actually killed by F22s PLUS Lennox shooting him.

At the beginning are those chocolate coins? Also good job on the video

They call him Grindor in Revenge of the Fallen game

blackout was a mini-con in transformers armada

Video is great but the music is too loud dude

Blackout is my favorite Decepticon ever.

It's not so much that there wasn't a dark colored decepticon who transformed into a helicopter and specialized in information extraction back in g1, he was there he just went by Vortex, he was a Combaticon and combined with others to form Bruticus.

I love Blackout but I don't collect movie toys. So, since the Legacy line started I had the hope Hasbro would make a g1 version of him, kinda like the one at 12:08

Excellent character

He certainly made an impression.

What are your thoughts on MPM 13 Blackout?

And he was in two games transformers the game and transformers revenge of the fallen the game both on xbox 360 and the Wii

you only need to make this 4 words long cool robot cool vehicle

This guy makes great videos but damn he loves stock images lmao

As much as his design sucked. His introduction of the transformers was so amazing that I can’t help but love him. Makes you wonder why he’s gotten very few incarnations outside of the movie. His game voice actors were also very cool.

I think some people keep forgetting Transformers is for the visuals and fun, if you are trying to find a deep meaning and character lore it's equivilent to wasting time finding a plot in a porno.

Not really a fan of this dude

Simple answer, yes, that was my favorite character in the first movie

I think the smaller scale is superior as a reboot. If I have to choose between smaller figures and bigger figures, I'm going to choose the space saver. Bigger does not equal better. Plastic quality, ease of transformation, media accuracy, sturdiness of engineering, and paint applications decide if a transformer is better. Now, granted the masterpiece and upscaled figures generally possess those qualities, I can't afford to finance a house with space to store a collection of over 200 masterpiece scale figures. Which is why I prefer CHUG. I also generally prefer the G1 art style, so WFC, Legacy, and SS86 have been my preferred lines. I do still enjoy buying master piece figures, but generally only for very specific designs and characters which I think merit a greater presence in my collection. If I already have 10 Optimus prime figures, well then 2 masterpiece primes won't hurt to have. But if I had to collect an entire cast of masterpiece, and wait years for their release schedule, that's just not going to work for me. Masterpiece generally looks great and feels great, but their designs are often excessively complicated or disproportionate to realize. Which is why I generally prefer the fun-oriented generations figures, especially the ones which totally reimagine the character's design and transformation in a way which is unique and fun, but still authentic to classic form and personality. To me having a good figure is more about how well it captures the energy and impression of the subject, and not how perfectly it totally replicates every minute detail. Smoother rounded boxy designs are more ergonomic and simple, as well as less prone to damage or paint chipping. But don't get me started on plastic yellowing. FFS hasbro, find a better supplier.
