      @@aura1521 Probably. But even with the current engineering, Hasbro has their limits whereas 3rd party companies are giving Hasbro a run for their money especially with their own versions of Western Star truck Optimus Prime (AOE/TLK) and Lockdown. Both of which can transform into robot mode that looks very close to the robot cgi and without any vehicle parts visible. Amazing really.

    FINALLY a leader class figure to this very deserving character
    I dont see what's the fuss about the transformation. Its involved, challenging and lets get real here: these toys arent aimed for kids.... so I'm happy that Blackout is a challenging figure.

    @Drakious 6 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Of all of the reviews as of recently, I've been looking forward to this one the most. I personally believe Blackout is one of the very best Transformers figures we've gotten primarily due to it's accuracy in vehicle and robot mode. While the transformation may not be the most fun and can be frustrating sometimes, I do have to give a hand clap to it because it in itself is pretty accurate to the movie's transformation, especially when he appears outside the alleyway in the last battle of the movie.

  • @TRManiac101
    @TRManiac101 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    For me I love it when transformation is difficult. It makes it that much more realistic or at least accurate to the movie. Also when both modes look that amazing it’s worth every second I take to transform it

  • @Mindwipe96
    @Mindwipe96 6 ปีที่แล้ว +58

    Blackout IS supposed to be “chicken legged” Just search an image of his cgi model. He looks too long and lanky when you don’t fully transform the legs.

    • @dankmemer2774
      @dankmemer2774 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      yea, and being a super cheapskate company like hasbro, they would not put in that extra joint there unless it is super important to the character. blackout and even his bigger counter part grindor are suppose to be chickin legged.

    @DoctorFate2000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @Optibotimus, I have to say how much I appreciate it that you transform your figures BOTH ways. While I didn’t need it this time having transformed it on my own a bunch and getting used to it already, in the past this feature has saved me a bunch. You’re right that to many reviewers take the easy way out so I and many others appreciate the extra work you doing showing both ways.

  • @defenderprime8046
    @defenderprime8046 6 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Well, that was interesting, the transformation may be super complicated, but the end result is pretty amazing, robot and copter modes! I'm left wondering if they will make a Masterpiece version of Blackout, cause it won't be less complicated I think! But man, he's one of the creepiest Decepticon I've ever seen! Cool review!

    @fredxu99 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I just got this figure. It is... amazing. Yeah the transformation is excessively complicated with a lot of little moving parts that you have to wiggle around, but that's no different from a lot of 3rd-party figures. Robot mode is damn near perfect, and if someone comes up with like a riot shield or something that can be placed to cover up the helicopter's bottom, the helicopter mode would be perfect too. Absolutely phenomenal figure. Buy him, love him, he's amazing.

  • @elijahdelacruz3204
    @elijahdelacruz3204 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I agree with Rayne Kraven. So what if the transformation is complicated? Studio series is more for the collectors, fans ever since the first, 2007 movie. As long as robot mode and vehicle mode is screen accurate, then I’m ok with that. Besides, I miss the complicated, challenging, puzzle like transformations.

    Gotta admit, despite most of the previous Studio Series figures being a real letdown, this may be one I'd actually consider getting. Even with the transformation being a bit frustrating, it still looks likes a more accurate version than what we were given with the first movie. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us, man.

  • @StrikerFX47

      @dankmemer2774 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    gotta say, when this figure was previewed, i was quite certain that i'd be getting him since he is what I wanted since '07. after taking a closer look at his hands, his plank sandals, and his size as a leader figure, i kind of put him a little lower on my priority list. then after a couple of months of seeing him in store and passing him up, i decided that i was going to get him. Just as I was about to commit, wei jiang released their version of SS08 blackout(i believe he is called Hide Shadow) with articulated hands, clearly defined toes and feet, larger size, better paint details, and tons of rachet joints in the place of friction joints on the hasbro version. safe to say, i aint getting the hasbro version anymore, im going wei jiang for this guy, costed me a bit more, but from what i've seen, it's pretty worth.

    I’ll admit this is one of the few figures that is worth the price of 50 dollars. It’s incredible how they were able to incorporate the transformation just like the movie and how movie accurate it looks. I have high expectation for movie studio series devastator and the prototype they showed does not disappoint. Just hope it comes out as it was shown and make Scavenger aka red version of Demolishor big. Maybe twice th height of a leader class as shown in the movie since studio series goes for movie accuracy.

    Man, I think that's a badass transformation. Sure it's finicky, but the complexity and difficulty is what appeals to me. Also that if it were not for the helicopter blades, it'd be really hard to tell what Blackout transforms into, and that ambiguity is also an appeal. I hope one day to be able to get my hands on one of these.

  • @rippixelc1606

    When you transform him from robot to alt mode, remember that part when you straighten his legs? Before doing that, spread his legs and twist the legs to the point where that front skirt should NOT move after tabbing the feet panels into the tail.
    Also, give him chicken legged styled legs, hes not gonna stand like that with that top heavy body of his in the movie.

    Bumblebee: Deluxe
    Ironhide: Voyager
    Ratchet: Voyager
    Jazz: Deluxe
    Megatron: Voyager/Leader
    Barricade: Deluxe
    Blackout: Voyager/Leader
    Starscream: Voyager/Leader
    Brawl: Voyager/Leader
    Bonecrusher: Voyager/Leader
    Scorponok: Deluxe
    so yeah most of the decepticons would be voyager/leader classes because most of them were very large.

    Where are you finding Blachout at? It shows online that he’s not sold in any targets within a 100 miles of where I live. I live in SC. Will he be at Walmart or Toys R Us anytime?

  • @primus0348
    @primus0348 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    To be honest wen taking out the arms from the tabs to transform it is no joke. It is legitimately hard to take out. And after taking it out I saw tiny stress marks on it so once you take it out dont tab it back in or you will have a hard time taking it out

    • @Jones35777

    • @DragoonMS
      @DragoonMS 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I didn't have that problem. Quite the opposite, actually, the arms weren't tabbed in that well. The smaller ones tab pretty tightly, but the bigger ones hate to tab in...

  • @DragoonMS
    @DragoonMS 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Picked up this guy yesterday. Cool figure, but the helicopter mode just doesn't tab into place well at all for me. Despite being tiny for a Leader class figure in robot mode, he fits pretty well with the other Movie Decepticons I have: Studio Series Starscream, DotM Shockwave, & DotM Megatron (who like Classics Optimus, is pretty midgety for a Voyager)...AoE Lockdown excluded, of course.
    I've noticed that the best way to get his chicken leg look is to ratchet the hips outward two clicks. It'll give him a super wide stance, but, his thighs can clear that silly hip skirt flap that way.

    • @optibotimus
      @optibotimus  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ehhhh I personally feel that's irrelevant because leader figures from 10+ years ago don't scale now with newer ones

    • @somarriba333
      @somarriba333 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's relevant because they are all leader classes and they are Transformers.

  • @rubenmikitaroff6963
    @rubenmikitaroff6963 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just got my blackout figure and I noticed that the main rotor on mine is tilted and when it spins it's in even so it rocks every time it spins. But the rotor on the heli in real life is tilted so that it can move without tilting forward to much, but min is screwed up which I'm not happy about
