Barricade scanned a Saleen S281 police car, then destroyed the original human vehicle to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms. It is uncertain how he managed to scan what appears to be a 2006 model in 2003.<br /> <br /> Later, Barricade pursues [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] outside of Denver, Colorado as the Autobot is working on a new lead on the [[Witwicky]]s. {{Storylink|Prime Directives, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Transformers The Game (console)===<br /> :''Voice actor'': [[Keith David]]<br /> <br /> ====Autobot campaign====<br /> Barricade was sent to Tranquility to hunt down Sam Witwicky and the glasses that held the location of the AllSpark. He attempted to capture Sam and Mikaela outside their high school, but Bumblebee stepped in. The humans fled for the nearby baseball field with Barricade in pursuit, but Bumblebee beat him to them, protecting them while they ran away again. He followed them to the power plant, but was once again foiled by Bumblebee and sent packing.<br /> <br /> Later, in [[Mission City]], Barricade made one last grab for the AllSpark after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] had each fallen to the Autobots. However, he was once again intercepted by Bumblebee, and finally defeated for good.<br /> <br /> ====Decepticon campaign====<br /> Upon reaching Tranquility and choosing his alternate mode, Barricade attempted some recon, but encountered a squad of Autobot drones, a battle which spilled out to the local baseball field. Shortly afterwards, he was informed by Starscream that Frenzy had information they needed, but the diminutive Decepticon had been captured by [[Sector Seven]] agents. Barricade tracked them to the power plant, then hounded the agents across town, wrecking every building in his path until Frenzy was recovered.<br /> <br /> Finally on the trail of Sam, he was stopped cold by Sam's protector Bumblebee. Barricade got the upper hand, but the Autobot led him on a chase that ended in [[Bay's Demolition]] lot, and an ambush courtesy of a lot of Autobot drones. Barricade overcame the odds, and hunted down Bumblebee once more, finally besting the Autobot and taking the glasses from Sam.<br /> <br /> When the Decepticons converged on Mission City, Barricade was tasked in taking out the Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]. He later stood in Megatron's presence after the AllSpark had been recovered and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered the Earth to be destroyed before they left it on their way to conquering all of known space.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers The Game'' (Nintendo DS)===<br /> <br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Keith David]]<br /> <br /> ====''Autobots''====<br /> When Bumblebee went to investigate the source of an image found on the internet, he found Barricade waiting for him. Barricade blew up a nearby car and took off, sending out messages on the police radio that Bumblebee was responsible. After failing to lose Bumblebee in spite of all of Tranquility's police force being after him, he engaged him in combat. Unable to defeat Bumblebee, he hastily retreated. Later on, he encountered Bumblebee and Optimus Prime as the two were leaving Hoover Dam. With a large helicopter Decepticon at his side, he demanded the Allspark from Prime, not even caring of the consequences. He was defeated, but revealed to Prime he was merely a distraction while other Decepticons freed Megatron from his icy prison.<br /> <br /> ====''Decepticons''====<br /> <br /> When the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]] arrived on Earth, his mentor, Starscream, directed him to rendezvous with Barricade, already active on the planet. Barricade was not enamoured with the idea of a partner, feeling that the Create-A-Bot would only slow him down, but after putting the rookie through his paces, he permitted him to join him on his mission in the town of [[Tranquility]]. Barricade revealed to the Create-A-Bot what Starscream had not - that the signal which had brought the Decepticons to Earth had come from Megatron himself. The rookie dismissed Megatron as a relic, and was struck by Barricade for the insult. With some help from the rookie, Barricade discovered that the Autobot Bumblebee was already on Megatron's trail; Barricade pursued Bumblebee, defeated him in battle on the outskirts of Tranquility, and acquired the data he had gathered.<br /> <br /> Now aware that the human military organization [[Sector 7]] was holding Megatron, Barricade arranged for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] to the Create-A-Bot to a [[Qatar]] military base, where they and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] hacked Sector 7's databanks. The file they obtained was brought back to Barricade in Tranquility for deciphering, and revealed that Megatron was being held by Sector 7 in the [[Hoover Dam]]. The Create-A-Bot suggesting relaying this to Starscream, but Barricade loudly refuted the idea, happy that the impending resurrection of Megatron would mean that he would no longer have to serve under a cowardly, back-stabbing bureaucrat like Starscream. Swayed by Barricade's words, the rookie revealed a fact that Starscream had told only him - that the All Spark was also present on Earth. Shocked by the revelation, Barricade realized that Starscream had been scheming to acquire the All Spark for himself, to ensure that not even Megatron could remove him from power. With the rookie now turned from Starscream and on his side, Barricade was able to liberate Megatron from Sector 7, and the Decepticons pursued the Autobots, now in possession of the All Spark, back to Tranquility. During the battle, Starscream finally claimed the All Spark from Bumblebee, and Barricade stood against him, intent on bringing him in for treason. Alas, the All Spark-powered Starscream destroyed Barricade, but with in death, Barricade proved to the Create-A-Bot what it truly meant to be a Decepticon.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Jess Harnell]] (English)<br /> <br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> <br /> After being active on [[Earth]] for some time, Barricade arrived to pick up [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] after the smaller Decepticon's attempt to hack into and sabotage the United States military network on [[Air Force One]]. Using data Frenzy had acquired, the two learned of [[Sector Seven]], &quot;Project Iceman&quot;, and [[Archibald Witwicky|Witwicky man]], the discoverer of the entombed [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The duo were able to use the internet to learn of both Witwicky man's descendants, [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]], and a pair of glasses that Megatron marked with the location of the long-lost [[All Spark]]. Frenzy declared that they needed to find ladiesman217, and Barricade moved out.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BarricadeVsSam.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Barricade negotiates an alternative to PayPal.]]<br /> <br /> Later, Barricade confronted ladiesman217 regarding his recent eBay auctions while the human was fleeing Bumblebee, whom the human mistakenly believed was out to harm him. Ladiesman217 fell for Barricade's ruse, and requested the &quot;officer's&quot; help, only for Barricade to turn on him and violently demand information on eBay item 21153. Ladiesman217 and his [[Mikaela Banes|female friend]], who had been drawn into the encounter, managed to escape him when Bumblebee convinced the boy to trust him, and Barricade pursued both the Autobot and two humans to a junkyard. He engaged Bumblebee in battle, dispatching Frenzy to chase down the humans. However, his battle with Bumblebee ended with Barricade heavily damaged.<br /> <br /> Evidently, though, he recovered, and was back to working order when Frenzy (who had survived and infiltrated Sector Seven) transmitted both Megatron and the Allspark's location to his fellow Decepticons. When the humans fled with the All Spark, Barricade joined in the pursuit along with [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]. Devastator soon broke off, while Barricade and Bonecrusher hit the freeway, making contact with the Autobot/human convoy. Barricade attempted to clear some room for the two Decepticons by activating his sirens; Bonecrusher simply rammed everything in his way. Ladiesman217 recognized Barricade, and warned that they were in danger.<br /> <br /> Bonecrusher went on the offensive, and Barricade's final fate was left unclear. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> ====Barricade's fate====<br /> [[Image:Movie_Barricade_finalappearance.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Barricade pulls everyone over for ''driving on the wrong side of the road''.]]<br /> <br /> Barricade's disappearance from the film is puzzling. It appears he was originally meant to be destroyed, as both the novel and comic adaptations of the movie depict his destruction by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], who had both destroyed Bonecrusher and was delayed in joining the humans and fellow Autobots. (Alternatively the children's chapter book adaption of the film [[The Transformers Quest for the Allspark]] describes Barricade as being destroyed by the US military.) Regardless in the movie proper Barricade simply does not appear again after Bonecrusher transforms. Since his remains are not seen among the Decepticon parts being buried at sea, it is possible he survived.<br /> <br /> Writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] have stated in a recent interview that Barricade's disappearance from the remainder of the film is a &quot;thread for Movie 2&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=384946&amp;postcount=33 Roberto Orci on Barricade's fate in the movie, at the official movie boards]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers (2007)===<br /> * '''Barricade''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-02'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_DeluxeBarricade_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The secret love child of [[Blackjack]] and [[Stakeout]].]]<br /> <br /> :Barricade transforms into an accurate [[wikipedia:Saleen|Saleen S281 Ford Mustang Custom Police Pursuit Cruiser]]. As with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|MOST]] deluxe-class cars in the ''Movie'' line, he features clear windows for his windshield and doors, but oddly his rear window is opaque black plastic. Stored inside the engine bay, behind the car's ram bar is a mini-figure [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] disguised as Barricade's grill.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Barricade quite faithfully reproduces the CGI design, though his chest cannot deform to the same extent. He features a reasonable amount of articulation with ball joints for his shoulders and upper legs, ratcheting and swivels for his elbows and double-jointed knees (although the knees make it difficult to properly align the upper and lower portions of his legs). Barricade has no neck joint as the two car hood halves slot into place between the bottom of the head and the plate on which it sits. Additionally, his pelvis is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to clip into the underside of his torso. Barricade does not have any [[Automorph]]ing [[gimmick]] to speak of; in its place is a spring-loaded extending &quot;punching&quot; attack on his left arm.<br /> <br /> : As with almost all Transformers toys issued over the last few years, a few of his transformation quirks are undocumented; in robot mode front wheel panels on his shoulders are ball-jointed, allowing one to position them in a manner similar to what is seen in the movie renders. Additionally, the sections that become his claws (apart from the thumb hinge) can swing up slightly to make themselves more pronounced, and spikes on the top of his feet can be swung up.<br /> <br /> * '''Barricade''' (Legends Class, 2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:LegendsBarricade.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Yes, he ''is'' movie-accurate.]]<br /> <br /> : A much smaller version of the character, [[Legends of Cybertron|Legends]] Barricade features limited articulation and detail. In what could only be defined as an anomaly of physics, compared to the other Movie Legends, Barricade is quite close in appearance and transformation to the larger deluxe figure. Legends Barricade's instructions also overlook the fact that his grill can flip down to fill out his torso and raise his chest higher.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> * '''Barricade''' (Cyber Slammer,2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Barricade-CS.jpg|right|thumb|125px|Awwwwwww.

The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.<br /> <br /> <br /> * '''Barricade''' (Robot Replica, 2007)<br /> <br /> : A non-transforming action figure, [[Robot Replicas]] Barricade hews much closer to the CGI model of the character (albeit wrong paint job). With joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] series, he is also more posable than his transforming counterpart, plus features replacement arms that feature his &quot;blender-blade tires&quot; alternate hands briefly seen in the movie.<br /> <br /> *'''Recon Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:ReconBarricade.jpg|right|thumb|125px|Barricade escaped by disgusing himself as [[Prowl (Energon)|Energon Prowl]].]]<br /> <br /> : A [[redeco]] of the normal Deluxe Barricade toy, this time in a &quot;local security&quot; blue and gray pattern.

Go ahead, guess!]]<br /> <br /> : This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure (though the Frenzy accessory has had his feet painted with more black paint applications to better blend in with Barricade's chest). The pack also comes with unposable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, Frenzy menacing Sam and Mikaela Banes holding the power saw she uses to attack Frenzy. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee.<br /> <br /> {{comingsoontoy}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Micro IR Transformers Cars====<br /> * '''Barricade''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Barricade_MicroIR.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Weirdest police gun I've ever seen!]]<br /> <br /> : Made under license by [[Radio Shack]].

He's considered &quot;fractious&quot; even by Decepticon standards, yet is willing to give [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] the benefit of the doubt and follow where he leads, at least for the time being. Though not totally dedicated to the service of the Decepticons' current leader, he is much more cautious and reserved about expressing mutinous dissent than say [[Blackout (Movie)|''most'']]. In many ways this makes him Starscream's closest ally in the naturally combative Decepticon ranks.

Barricade scanned a Saleen S281 police car, then destroyed the original human vehicle to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms. It is uncertain how he managed to scan what appears to be a 2006 model in 2003.<br /> <br /> Later, Barricade pursues [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] outside of Denver, Colorado as the Autobot is working on a new lead on the [[Witwicky]]s. {{Storylink|Prime Directives, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Transformers The Game (console)===<br /> :''Voice actor'': [[Keith David]]<br /> <br /> ====Autobot campaign====<br /> Barricade was sent to Tranquility to hunt down Sam Witwicky and the glasses that held the location of the AllSpark. He attempted to capture Sam and Mikaela outside their high school, but Bumblebee stepped in. The humans fled for the nearby baseball field with Barricade in pursuit, but Bumblebee beat him to them, protecting them while they ran away again. He followed them to the power plant, but was once again foiled by Bumblebee and sent packing.<br /> <br /> Later, in [[Mission City]], Barricade made one last grab for the AllSpark after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] had each fallen to the Autobots. However, he was once again intercepted by Bumblebee, and finally defeated for good.<br /> <br /> ====Decepticon campaign====<br /> Upon reaching Tranquility and choosing his alternate mode, Barricade attempted some recon, but encountered a squad of Autobot drones, a battle which spilled out to the local baseball field. Shortly afterwards, he was informed by Starscream that Frenzy had information they needed, but the diminutive Decepticon had been captured by [[Sector Seven]] agents. Barricade tracked them to the power plant, then hounded the agents across town, wrecking every building in his path until Frenzy was recovered.<br /> <br /> Finally on the trail of Sam, he was stopped cold by Sam's protector Bumblebee. Barricade got the upper hand, but the Autobot led him on a chase that ended in [[Bay's Demolition]] lot, and an ambush courtesy of a lot of Autobot drones. Barricade overcame the odds, and hunted down Bumblebee once more, finally besting the Autobot and taking the glasses from Sam.<br /> <br /> When the Decepticons converged on Mission City, Barricade was tasked in taking out the Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]. He later stood in Megatron's presence after the AllSpark had been recovered and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered the Earth to be destroyed before they left it on their way to conquering all of known space.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers The Game'' (Nintendo DS)===<br /> <br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Keith David]]<br /> <br /> ====''Autobots''====<br /> When Bumblebee went to investigate the source of an image found on the internet, he found Barricade waiting for him. Barricade blew up a nearby car and took off, sending out messages on the police radio that Bumblebee was responsible. After failing to lose Bumblebee in spite of all of Tranquility's police force being after him, he engaged him in combat. Unable to defeat Bumblebee, he hastily retreated. Later on, he encountered Bumblebee and Optimus Prime as the two were leaving Hoover Dam. With a large helicopter Decepticon at his side, he demanded the Allspark from Prime, not even caring of the consequences. He was defeated, but revealed to Prime he was merely a distraction while other Decepticons freed Megatron from his icy prison.<br /> <br /> ====''Decepticons''====<br /> <br /> When the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]] arrived on Earth, his mentor, Starscream, directed him to rendezvous with Barricade, already active on the planet. Barricade was not enamoured with the idea of a partner, feeling that the Create-A-Bot would only slow him down, but after putting the rookie through his paces, he permitted him to join him on his mission in the town of [[Tranquility]]. Barricade revealed to the Create-A-Bot what Starscream had not - that the signal which had brought the Decepticons to Earth had come from Megatron himself. The rookie dismissed Megatron as a relic, and was struck by Barricade for the insult. With some help from the rookie, Barricade discovered that the Autobot Bumblebee was already on Megatron's trail; Barricade pursued Bumblebee, defeated him in battle on the outskirts of Tranquility, and acquired the data he had gathered.<br /> <br /> Now aware that the human military organization [[Sector 7]] was holding Megatron, Barricade arranged for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] to the Create-A-Bot to a [[Qatar]] military base, where they and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] hacked Sector 7's databanks. The file they obtained was brought back to Barricade in Tranquility for deciphering, and revealed that Megatron was being held by Sector 7 in the [[Hoover Dam]]. The Create-A-Bot suggesting relaying this to Starscream, but Barricade loudly refuted the idea, happy that the impending resurrection of Megatron would mean that he would no longer have to serve under a cowardly, back-stabbing bureaucrat like Starscream. Swayed by Barricade's words, the rookie revealed a fact that Starscream had told only him - that the All Spark was also present on Earth. Shocked by the revelation, Barricade realized that Starscream had been scheming to acquire the All Spark for himself, to ensure that not even Megatron could remove him from power. With the rookie now turned from Starscream and on his side, Barricade was able to liberate Megatron from Sector 7, and the Decepticons pursued the Autobots, now in possession of the All Spark, back to Tranquility. During the battle, Starscream finally claimed the All Spark from Bumblebee, and Barricade stood against him, intent on bringing him in for treason. Alas, the All Spark-powered Starscream destroyed Barricade, but with in death, Barricade proved to the Create-A-Bot what it truly meant to be a Decepticon.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Jess Harnell]] (English)<br /> <br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> <br /> After being active on [[Earth]] for some time, Barricade arrived to pick up [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] after the smaller Decepticon's attempt to hack into and sabotage the United States military network on [[Air Force One]].

However, his battle with Bumblebee ended with Barricade heavily damaged.<br /> <br /> Evidently, though, he recovered, and was back to working order when Frenzy (who had survived and infiltrated Sector Seven) transmitted both Megatron and the Allspark's location to his fellow Decepticons.

After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode.

Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted canon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.<br /> <br /> : As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph]]ing gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> *'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> [[Image:Movie_Legends_Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|WhY My buMPeRs hUrT?]]<br /> <br /> : A much smaller version of the character, Legends Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> *'''Ion Blast Autobot Jazz''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)<br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Jazz.jpg|right|thumb|What good am I again?]]<br /> <br /> : Smaller than his Deluxe toy and less articulated, ''this'' one has a missile in place of one hand.

Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, the rest of his body is undamaged. All the damaged parts have a black and blue deco, representing glowing circuitry and exposed conduits.<br /> <br /> : Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded weapon (called a ''Crescent Cannon'' on the packaging), partially modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, not unlike his original featured weapon, can be mounted in different configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his ''right'' arm with the Crescent Cannon missle launcher (with the crescent up) facing forward a la the film, or ''(b)'' mounted on his ''left'' arm with the flip-out rifle barrel pointed forwards (with the crescent down).<br /> <br /> : Unusual for a regular Deluxe class figure, this version of Jazz is packaged on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in the vehicle mode.<br /> <br /> : This figure also has a minor change to the joint in the forearm. In the first version, the black hinge-joint was able to slide over slightly as part of the original design, while it is now shorter and much more secure.<br /> <br /> : In spite of the claim that this is a &quot;final battle&quot; version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.<br /> <br /> *'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)<br /> [[Image:Movie_G1Jazz_toy.jpg|right|thumb|220px''|&quot;...''real'' soon.''&quot;]]<br /> <br /> : An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] is heavily based on ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme. He's lacking in Martini sponsorship for all the obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't need to advertise really, but he does.<br /> <br /> : This version features the same forearm joint change first seen on Final Battle Jazz.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> *'''Allspark Legends''' (Multi-pack, 2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Allspark_Legends_pack.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Why's the man always putting me down?]]<br /> <br /> : A Toys &quot;R&quot; Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Jazz, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Robot Replicas====<br /> *'''Autobot Jazz''' (2007)<br /> [[Image:Movie_RobotReplicas_Jazz.jpg|right|thumb|120px|My hand picks up XM.]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Titanium Series====<br /> *'''Autobot Jazz''' (Robot Master, 2007)<br /> <br /> {{Template:Comingsoontoy}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> [[Image:Movie_Jazz_armswordconcept.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Cool melee weapon in the game, ''totally'' non-existent in the movie.]]<br /> <br /> * The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a &quot;telescoping sword&quot;. As ridiculous as this sounds considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings (see image on left) of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool.

After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode. Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as &quot;little bitches,&quot; stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out.

When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.<br /> <br /> When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons']] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons.

Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the All Spark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the All Spark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.<br /> <br /> On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles.

When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz lead the Autobot charge toward the Decepticon, speeding to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans.

<p>67.82.153.240: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Megatron}}<br /> <br /> :''Megatron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. He is often refered to as Lord Megatron. Known to humans as both &quot;The Ice Man&quot; and &quot;The Mega-Man&quot; and more formally as [[N.B.E.]] - 01''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Megatronmovie.jpg |thumb|right|300px|Super Fighting Robot...MEGA-MAN!]]<br /> <br /> The brother of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] as well as former [[Lord High Protector]] and co-ruler of [[Cybertron]], '''Megatron''' is vicious and extremely powerful, single-minded in his goals, straight forward and brutally direct in his attempts to seize those goals. He is all &quot;blunt force&quot; in contrast to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] penchant for deceit and trickery. On the downside, Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore &quot;secondary&quot; matters and glaring flaws in his plans (otherwise, he likely wouldn't have melted into ice-cold arctic water after being white hot from re-entry and spent millions of years as a popsicle).<br /> <br /> While [[Megatron (disambiguation)|some]] merely dislike or disregard organics, Megatron feels a violent hatred towards them and seems to view them as only slightly above a virus, with him as the cure. This may be due to having spent decades as their prisoner, but his hatred is still very extreme. If there was no [[All Spark]], it is not that big a stretch to think he'd have come here anyway, just to cleanse one more planet of its infection.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{quote|Join them in extinction!|Megatron, blasting Optimus Prime, ''[[Transformers (2007)|Transformers]]''}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Official Movie Prequel'' comic===<br /> [[Image:MovieMegatron_Bumblebee_torture_comic.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Better get some ice on that.]]<br /> <br /> Megatron once ruled Cybertron side-by-side with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. For generations, the two ruled in peace. Megatron was firm, but Prime was fair, creating a nice, even balance. Sadly, he got a jonesing for the All Spark and the war started. Megatron formed an army of separatists, the Decepticons, while Prime formed his own army, the Autobots. Megatron's forces, while less noble, were more ferocious warriors. Prime eventually made the decision to launch the All Spark into deep space. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] stalled him long enough for it to be launched into space, he tore off Bumblebee's arm and crushed his voice box, then took off into space after the All Spark.<br /> <br /> ===UK ''Transformers Comic''===<br /> <br /> The All Spark had not been blindly launched into space, however - its trajectory was leading it directly towards the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that could potentially transport the cube to any one of an infinite number of locations in the universe. Megatron was fully capable of catching up to the cube before it would enter the wormhole, but as he passed Cybertron's moon, he found himself ensared by an Autobot tractor beam of remarkable strength that pulled him down to the moon's surface. Enraged by the ignominity of it all, Megatron turned his weapons on the Autobots responsible, but quickly calmed down enough to realise that this was only playing into their hands, and instead ordered [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to take his place the in the battle. Megatron swooped back into space, hot on the All Spark's heels, but was unable to stop the cube from falling through the anomaly. Determined to have the All Spark's power, Megatron chose to enter the wormhole himself, only to be spat out in some far-off star system, with no trace of the All Spark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}<br /> <br /> === [[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday]] novel ===<br /> <br /> &quot;The Ice Man&quot; may defrost if some dedicated humans can't prevent it.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007 movie)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Hugo Weaving]] (English)<br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Megstheiceman.JPG‎|thumb|right|200px|Ice, Ice Baby!]]<br /> <br /> Megatron eventually succeeded in tracking the All Spark to [[Earth]], where he successfully crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen solid for thousands of years. In 1897, some 100 Earth-years before the arrival of the other Transformers, he was discovered by an explorer named [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky]]. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigation system and caused the coordinates of the All Spark to be etched onto the explorer's glasses. Megatron remained imprisoned in the Arctic, until the 1930s, when he was dug out by the United States government and moved to a secret [[Sector Seven]] stronghold inside [[Hoover Dam]].<br /> <br /> In the present day, having searched the galaxy for the All Spark and being drawn to Earth, the remaining Decepticons learn of Witwicky's glasses. Through the Internet, they determined the location of both Megatron and the All Spark inside Hoover Dam. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] infiltrated the dam and shut down the power systems, while Starscream attacked the external powerlines, resulting in Megatron's thawing out. Once again online, Megatron declared his name (to clear up all that N.B.E.-01/Ice Man nonsense) before jetting off after the All Spark again. He met up with Starscream on the outside, and berated him for his failure to secure the All Spark. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Megatron_breakout.jpg‎|thumb|left|250px|Mace isn't for spraying, it's for hitting.]]<br /> <br /> Upon arriving in [[Mission City]], Megatron caused panic in the Autobot ranks forcing even them to call for a tempoary retreat. He blasted [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] away when the diminutive Autobot attempted to attack, then threw him into the air before crushing him on top of a tower with his clawed talons. Jazz vainly fought on, doing little damage to Megatron before the Decepticon leader killed the Autobot by tearing him in half.<br /> <br /> As [[Samuel James Witwicky|the human boy]] ran off with the All Spark, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack. At that moment, Optimus Prime appeared and challenged Megatron. Millennia in the ice had done nothing to lessen the animosity Megatron felt for his brother, however. Barely managing to growl out Prime's name, he transformed and flew at Prime at full speed. The Autobot leader leapt and grabbed a hold of Megatron, who slammed him into a building before flying right through a skyscraper. Both leaders landed in the middle of an intersection, but Megatron was the first to recover and leapt upon his brother, snarling that the humans were undeserving of life. Optimus Prime replied that they had the right to choose for themselves before he threw his brother off. Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should die with them, forming his Fusion Cannon. Before he could fire, the Autobot leader drew his ion blaster and fired, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon leader shrugged off this attack, spun around from the momentum and fired his cannon, throwing Optimus Prime into the side of a building.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Megatron_jetmode_cityfight.jpg‎|thumb|right|250px|''Really'' bad case of gas.]]<br /> <br /> Megatron persued the young human who had removed the All Spark from Hoover Dam, destroying everything that stood in his way. The boy ran to a dilapidated building that was the designated coordinates for a human military evacuation team, and Megatron smashed his way through, yelling that he could smell the human maggot. Following him to the roof, Megatron offered that if the human gave him the All Spark, the boy may live as his pet. The Decepticon leader relished the human's defiant refusal and destroyed the ledge the human was standing upon, sending the boy tumbling to the ground.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Megatron_maceattack.jpg‎|thumb|left|200px|This would have been ''so'' much cooler if it had been a chain mine.]]<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, the human was caught by Optimus Prime, who then tried to escape down the side of the building before Megatron tackled him and sent all three slamming into the pavement. As a nearby human bystander attempted to run, the Decepticon expressed his disgust at the insect's proximity and flicked it away. Protecting the young boy, Prime declared that their war would end here and it was now just between the two brothers. Megatron declared that Prime's defense of the &quot;weak&quot; was the real reason he would lose. Despite Optimus Prime's best efforts, Megatron was the stronger warrior, pounding the Autobot leader with devastating blow after devastating blow until he collapsed. The Decepticon leader turned his attention back to the human boy, but was suddenly attacked by the human fighter jets and [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]'s ground soldiers firing sabot rounds. His armour a damaged, shattered mess, Megatron ignored the punishment and focused on the human boy. As Optimus Prime ordered the boy to place the All Spark into his chest, the human instead pushed it into the now-exposed [[spark]] in Megatron's chest overloading him with energy and extinguishing the Decepticon's life force. Optimus Prime stood over Megatron's lifeless shell, watching the light flicker out of his brother's [[optics]], he remarked somberly, yet remorsefully that Megatron had left him no choice, and removed a shard of the All Spark from his brother's spark cavity.<br /> <br /> Megatron's body was dumped into the ocean at its deepest point, along with the remains of the other Decepticons.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]]<br /> He'd like to see the entire planet burn beneath his feet.

He is quite accurate to the CGI design... except for the giant mass of legs attempting (but failing) to hide under the wings.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Megatron's sculpt is quite accurate, or as accurate as a toy based on his CG design can be. However, his paint decoration is quite inaccurate, with blue highlights on various parts of his body, possibly to allude to his pre-frozen state and to give a relatively monochromatic figure more color. More confusing is his jet black face, which obscures the sculpt's details and is inaccurate to the movie appearance's gunmetal.<br /> <br /> : Megatron's right fist disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable &quot;chain whip&quot; weapon concealed within his forearm (perhaps in homage to [[Megatron (G1)|G1 Megatron]]'s own flail weapon); pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a &quot;fusion cannon,&quot; with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.<br /> <br /> :Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be centre-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.<br /> <br /> : There is a significant assembly error in Megatron's right arm: The right fist is ''supposed'' to launch out of the right arm. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was left out (possibly [[for safety reasons]]). One must either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm. The right fist should now launch properly. The latter of these is preferable, as the spring in the left arm should not be there in the first place, and does not allow the barrels of the cannon to stay in place without holding the trigger button.<br /> <br /> : There is also an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation.<br /> <br /> :In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are moulded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.<br /> <br /> : ''Geez'', Hasbro.<br /> <br /> *'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Legends_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|right|Again, what the hell do I turn into?]]<br /> <br /> :Legends class Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy, and boy does it show. Even with Megatron's relatively simple transformation sequence, the sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that in vehicle mode he is basically his robot mode splayed out, and again, boy is it ''obvious''. His robot mode is passably accurate, if by accurate one means he is now a hunchback with wings for legs, Dustbusters for hands, and an unchanged Alien Queen-esqe head design.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> *'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''<br /> <br /> :Voyager class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out &quot;ice blade&quot;, and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws. <br /> <br /> :Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two &quot;rear toes&quot; on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing as the feet's parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.<br /> <br /> *'''Allspark Legends''' (Multi-pack, 2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Allspark_Legends_pack.jpg|thumb|left|120px|]]<br /> <br /> : A Toys R Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].<br /> <br /> {{Template:Comingsoontoy}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie FAB Megatron.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Just back from filming Predator 3]]<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Robot Replicas====<br /> *'''Megatron''' (2007)<br /> A non-transforming, detailed version of Megatron.

The toy's entire &quot;gimmick&quot; is that both rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier render head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.<br /> <br /> :The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Battling Robots Bubble Bath===<br /> *'''Megatron''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:megatron_bubblebath.jpg|thumb|right|120px|&quot;I ''hate'' merchandising.&quot;]]<br /> <br /> :Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this &quot;figure&quot; uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> * The prototype photographs on the back of Leader and Voyager class Megatrons' packaging show him with a completely different head based upon an earlier version of CGI design that was dropped after much negative fan reaction.<br /> <br /> * According to The Movie Guide, Megatron is one of few Transformers capable of space travel without reverting to a Protoform. This explains how he was capable of chasing the All Spark ''immediately'' after its launch.<br /> <br /> * Early script drafts featured Megatron consuming the [[spark]]s of his fallen foes, but this didn't make it into the final film due to time constraints. The novelisation of the movie, on the other hand, sees him chow down on Jazz in the final battle; similarly, although not outright stated in dialogue, his animalistic pouncing on the fallen bodies of various characters (including Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz and the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]]) in the Movie Nintendo DS games, following by what appears to be rooting around in their innards, seems to suggest he's doing the same there. <br /> <br /> * Similarly, in the ''Autobots'' version of the same DS game, it is noted that Megatron &quot;took the spark&quot; of his and Optimus' father. Presumably, this is a reference to both his cannibalistic practises as well as the fact that both he and Prime are in fact brothers... at least in the Cybertronian sense.<br /> <br /> * Despite his undeniable hatred of humans, Megatron is the only Decepticon in the movie who doesn't speak [[Cybertronian languages|Cybertronian]] at any point in the film. In fact, he speaks ''fluent'' English upon reviving, depite the fact that [[Wikipedia:Modern English|Modern English]] came into existance around the Sixteenth century, when he was presumably still frozen in the ice. This could suggest that he still was somehow conscious when he was studied by Sector Seven (which he also overtly states upon awakening in the IDW comic adaptation). This would explain why his first action after thawing was declaring his name - imagine being frozen for generations being referred to as &quot;N.B.E. 1&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The Megatron computer generated model consisted of 2411 individual pieces, 433,949 polygons, 8924 rig nodes, and 1437 texture maps.

He's a hyper-articulated, hyper-''active'', sentient evil alien shape-changing robot from outer space that turns into various small electronics devices, depending on the situation at hand, and has a penchant for pantsing people. But he doesn't shrink ([[All Spark|because that would be unrealistic]]), so he's quite a good contortionist. He's not that tough without his head, and he loses it frequently. In short, he's a creepy little abomination, with an irritating habit of reading over people's shoulders and jibbering at lightning speeds in [[Cybertronian languages|his own tongue]] (not that we could understand him if he was talking slowly, but you get the idea).<br /> <br /> He is neither [[FIBRIR|red nor blue]].

He doesn't fare well in this particular battle but is presumably repaired at some future point.<br /> <br /> ===Transformers the Game===<br /> When Barricade arrived in [[Tranquility]], Starscream informed him that Frenzy had information they needed. When Barricade attempted to link up with him, he discovered that Frenzy had been captured by [[Sector Seven|some armed humans]]. Frenzy was held captive in a small SUV (which seemed virtually indestructible) but Barricade eventually rescued him. Barricade later relayed to Starscream that Frenzy had discovered a lead on the All Spark...an artifact in the possession of a human named Sam.<br /> <br /> Later, he served as Starscream's intelligence liason when the Decepticon's Acting-Commander was searching for [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], jabbering away in his own language (A translation is NOT subtitled directly, with Frenzy being the only character to NOT speak English in the game.

He made his way to the lower decks, carried by an [[Air Force One attendant|unsuspecting flight attendant]] who was on a vital mission to the storage area to &quot;rustle up some Ding-Dongs&quot; for the [[President of the United States#Transformers (2007)|President]]. Once left alone, he got into the server area, and began to simultaneously hack the national database and upload a virus, re-attempting the hack that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] had tried at the [[SOCCENT Base]] in [[Qatar]] earlier. This attempt was discovered by government agent [[Maggie Madsen]], and the defense network was shut down in order to halt the hack. Frenzy was so pissed he slammed his head into the screen, but he got the virus uploaded, which would later shut down global communications, and got a little bit of info on what he was looking for.<br /> <br /> He was discovered by Secret Service agents, who he quickly dispatched with his machineguns and disc-blade launcher before hiding away in boombox form again. When Air Force One landed, he escaped through the landing gear, slipping into the awaiting Decepticon [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. After flipping the military the bird and complaining about how the &quot;stupid insects&quot; shot at him, he informed Barricade of his new discovery: [[Archibald Witwicky|the Witwicky man]] who had suspiciously displayed knowledge of Cybetronian writing. After a quick web-search using Barricade's on-board police department laptop, Frenzy determined their next target... a human called &quot;[[Sam Witwicky|LadiesMan217]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> When Barricade was forced to go to robot mode in order to handle [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he released Frenzy to chase the humans the [[Autobot]] was guarding. Frenzy managed to tackle his primary target and even managed to get his pants off him (kinky!), but [[Mikaela Banes|the other human]] attacked him with a power saw she'd found and cut his head off. To add insult to injury, Sam punted the Decepticon's head away. It was actually to Frenzy's benefit, however, as he landed not too far from Mikaela's purse, which had spilled when Bumblebee had dumped them out earlier. Still alive and ambulatory despite losing most of his body mass, he speared and scanned Mikaela's cell phone, changed his form to match it, and hid out in her purse.<br /> <br /> Frenzy stayed hidden, watching the activities of the humans and Autobots until they were taken to [[Hoover Dam]]. Frenzy slipped away then... and fell off the side of the dam, landing painfully at the bottom. This did allow him to sneak into the secret [[Sector Seven]] operations hangar deep within the dam, where both the [[AllSpark]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had been kept for nearly a hundred years. He tapped into the AllSpark's power to restore his body, and sent a signal to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were here. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed, while Starscream destroyed the powerlines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.<br /> <br /> When [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], Maggie and [[Glen Whitmann]] ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy made it into the room via the air ducts, and sent a series of flying blades at the humans. One, however, ricocheted madly across the room, and took out most of Frenzy's head. With a muttered &quot;oh shit&quot;, Frenzy collapsed.<br /> <br /> :''('''Note''': How fatal this actually ''was'' to Frenzy is up for debate. Though presumably his remains would have been gathered up by remaining Sector Seven personnel and disposed of with the other defeated Decepticons, he is not seen again after the storeroom attack.

(They did make the lower half of frozen Megatron as a set piece, plus [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok's]] head and tail, but that's not quite the same thing.) He and Bumblebee are the only Transformers in the film to have full-body robot mode props.<br /> <br /> * Extra pieces of the Frenzy puppet, specifically some fingers, were used to make the charred prop of the &quot;dead&quot; [[Nokia robot]].<br /> <br /> * Along those lines, Frenzy's robot mode was designed without a ''specific'' alternate mode in mind. It was known he was going to be a boom-box, but the designers had to produce a robot mode before the make/model was finalized.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Frenzystereo.jpg|right|thumb|150px|According to user reviews, Frenzy is terrible for XM.]]<br /> <br /> * Frenzy transforms into a real on-the-market [http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5155669 GPX portable stereo]... in the movie, at least.

He will do anything to hang on to power or attain more. Though powerful, he is at heart a schemer, contemptuous of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s reliance on brute force. Starscream believes that lies, manipulation, and deceit are a superior path to power.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> <br /> ====''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel====<br /> <br /> Starscream had ascended to Decepticon leadership in the absence of their former lord, and though he must &quot;seem&quot; to carry on the long search for the lost Megatron and the [[All Spark]] to keep his position as leader, his greatest hope was that Megatron NEVER be found. Some loyal Decepticons, especially [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], strongly suspect this and sought to frustrate Starscream's self-serving plans. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] buddies up with him, but he does like to trick people. [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] hates him, but one shouldn't really read too much into that. <br /> <br /> During a search of an abandoned solar system, the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' came across [[Ghost 1|a vessel]] that bore a resemblance to Megatron's [[alternate mode]]. Starscream went to investigate it (intending to destroy it). After chasing off [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he communicated with the creatures aboard the vessel, who called themselves [[human]]s. Starscream claimed that his people once lived with the [[Autobot]]s, and that their treacherous leader, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], started a war for the All Spark. The humans told him of a robotic creature that they had found, and Starscream, recognizing it as Megatron, told them it was an Autobot scout. While communicating with them, he downloaded all the information on their computers, learning that the All Spark was also located on Earth. He offered to help the humans to return to their world if they helped them attack the Autobots, hoping that Prime would destroy them and be guilt stricken in the process. They attacked Optimus and Bumblebee, but the two Autobots escaped. After their ship sank into a cavern, Starscream revealed his true nature, and abandoned them. As a result, the humans concluded neither faction could be trusted. Way to make first contact there, Screamer.<br /> <br /> Returning to the battle, he lied to his fellow Decepticons, claiming that the two Autobots were dead and that he was unable to communicate with the humans. Blackout, unconvinced with the story, challenged Starscream to single combat. Starscream won, and the Decepticons launched an attack on the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]''. During the battle, Optimus, Bumblebee, and the human vessel showed up. Starscream was in a position to terminate Prime, when the humans fired their weapons at Starscream. Seriously damaged, Starscream finished them off a single plasma blast, then retreated. The Autobots figured that Starscream would not risk travelling to [[Earth]], for fear of losing power, but Prime figured that it was only a matter of time before the desire for vengeance and the lure of the All Spark brought the Decepticons to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday}}<br /> <br /> ====Sector Seven Alternate Reality Game====<br /> [[Image:Starscream 1982.jpg|right|thumb|Masterpiece attack!]]<br /> <br /> Starscream (Disguised as a F-15 Eagle fighter jet) was active on Earth in early 1982, with documented sightings of jets sporting his unique colors on several continents before he was caught on camera transforming to robot mode in California. This sighting (and its subsequent leak) was the direct impetus for [[Hungry Dragon|Hungry Dragon 1]].<br /> <br /> ''This seemingly contradicts Starscream's 2003 arrival on Earth in the 'Prime Directives' prequel comic, though it's possible Starscream simply concealed an earlier visit to Earth because he had no desire for the Decepticons to find Megatron.<br /> <br /> ====''Prime Directives'' prequel comic====<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Starscream_IDWprequel_youcangonow.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Top this one, Samus.]]<br /> <br /> In 2003, Starscream's infiltration team consisting of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and Blackout touched down on [[Mars]] and destroyed the Beagle 2 Mars rover. {{Storylink|Prime Directives, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> Splitting up, they head to Earth, where Starscream scans an F-22 Raptor fighter jet being tested by the [[United States Military|US Air Force]] at Nellis Air Force base. He destroyed it, then adopted the vehicle form for himself. Leaving the scene of destruction, he radioed his fellow Decepticons to report in on their hunt for new disguise forms, which they do. He reiterated that their mission is to find the Allspark, to which Blackout reminds him the mission is also to find Megatron. Starscream merely replies &quot;Yeah, right... him too.&quot;<br /> <br /> Later, Starscream and Blackout detected the unique radiation of the Allspark and investigate, but Starscream soon realizes it was a trap by Sector Seven. Starscream destroyed several AH-64 Apache helicopters while Blackout attacked Sector Seven's bunker and attempted to hack into their mainframe. When the humans severed the connection, the Decepticons broke off from the battle and linked up with Barricade, who was in pursuit of the Autobot [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{Storylink|Prime Directives, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> ===Sector Seven game continuity===<br /> During late April/Early May of 2007, Sector Seven has intercepted two sound clips through agent Cod3x and another source. Apparently, Starscream wanted to make his presence known and left a message announcing that he would have the All Spark, and that Agent Powers would be the one to hand it over. These messages were somewhat garbled, as they were apparently received over a SETI@home system. So far, only these two &quot;blips&quot; have been analysed (the second still needing work), but more may come in the near future. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)}}<br /> <br /> ===Transformers: The Game===<br /> <br /> ====Autobot campaign====<br /> Starscream, Blackout, and a pair of Dreadwing drones all take on [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] during the battle of [[Mission City]]. He beats all four of them.<br /> <br /> ====Decepticon campaign====<br /> Starscream coordinated the missions for Blackout and Barricade, while hiding in a military base. After recieving information from Barricade that Megatron had been located, Starscream went to locate [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. However, the humans were aware of the three Decepticons, using drones, weapon platforms, and fighters based on Cybertronian design. Starscream was forced to move back and forth between Bonecrusher and Brawl, rescuing them from human attackers, all to background music far too heroic sounding for someone of Screamer's character. After taking a moment to enjoy the ruin he had made of the base, Starscream proceeded to Hoover Dam. When Megatron emerged, Starscream bowed before his [[Lord High Protector|Lord]].<br /> <br /> After Megatron absorbed the AllSpark and Earth was decimated, Starscream stood at his master's left side, as the Decepticon leader declared their business on Earth was concluded. <br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Charlie Adler]] (English)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Starscream_holographavatar1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[Mustache Man|Decepticon holoavatars always have mustaches]]. It's how you know they're evil.]]<br /> <br /> Starscream was lying in wait at a [[United States Military|US]] air base when covert agent [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported that the [[All Spark]] had been located, along with Megatron, underneath [[Hoover Dam]]. Though he had long feared this day would come, he ordered the rest of the Decepticons to move out. The others responded, with Blackout rallying in the name of Megatron.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Starscream_dogfight1.jpg|left|thumb|200px| The REAL Jet Judo.]]<br /> <br /> The first to arrive, Starscream attacked the hydro-electricity power plant attached to the dam to cause havok to [[Sector Seven]]'s operations and to speed the thawing of Megatron. With Frenzy's sabotage, Megatron eventually broke free of his icy restraints and escaped the facility and met with the waiting Starscream. Upon seeing his long lost master, Starscream vehemently repledged his loyalty to Megatron, if only to avoid being slagged. Demanding to know what happened to the All Spark, Megatron was told by his second in command that it was now in the possession of the [[human]]s. Furious, Megatron berated his lieutenant for yet another failure.<br /> <br /> During the assault on a nearby city, Starscream fooled [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]'s unit by posing as an [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]] providing cover. Starscream launched and attack that crippled [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] as [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] realized too late who the fighter really was. As [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]] ran with the All Spark, Starscream swooped down, blocking his path, only to be attacked by both Ironhide and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. Besting them, Starscream took to the skies again. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Starscreammoviestillrobot.jpg|right|thumb|200px|How do you feel, mighty traffic? Yah!]]<br /> <br /> While Megatron attempted to retrieve the All Spark from Ladiesman217, Starscream perched on nearby buildings and shot down an Army Blackhawk helicopter when it attempted to help the human evacuate the Cube. Eventually, real F-22 Raptors from the US Air Force arrived and Starscream disguised himself. Pretending to be a part of their squadron, Starscream surprised the human pilots by transforming in mid-air and, while pulling the most impressive Jet Judo routine in 20 years, easily destroyed several of the Raptors before he was fired upon and had to re-assume his disguise to confuse the pilots. He eventually disappeared and was not seen in the closing moments of the battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime. <br /> <br /> Most of the Decepticons were defeated, and their bodies cast into the deepest part of the ocean. Ultimately, Starscream retreated from Earth to parts unknown. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers (2007)===<br /> *'''Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-05'''<br /> [[Image:MovieProtoform_Starscream_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Gold Plastic Syndrome just waiting to happen]]<br /> <br /> :Based upon the 'Protoform' (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his 'Entry' mode cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the 'vehicle' over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.<br /> <br /> :In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation. Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same bronze colour as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel.<br /> <br /> :This toy also has an [[Automorph]]ing feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. By pushing his head back during transformation, his shoulder pieces move back into place, while moving them forward will make the head pop back up. While either the missile or the flame can be placed into the gun, the flame can be placed onto the missile, using both at once.<br /> <br /> : It's also entirely possible for this figure to eventually suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling that older figures exhibited before it would deteriorate. However, newer materials and processes may prevent the toy from ever seeing a single crack form. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its life span. This means YOU, [[kitbash]]ers.<br /> <br /> *'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-08'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Starscream_toy.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Fingers are a luxury]]<br /> <br /> : The Voyager-class version of Movie Starscream transforms into a very inaccurate, though officially-licensed [[wikipedia:F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet]]. For reasons unknown, Starscream is a tan/taupe coloring, with rather 'backwards' paint details: on Starscream parts painted gray are metallic on the real F-22, and parts painted silver (such as the edges of his wings) are actually supposed to be gray. <br /> <br /> :However, most Starscream's vehicle mode inaccuracies are down to his very design and structure. He has almost no engine details to speak of, the rear stabilizers are the wrong shape (and of extremely simple sculpt) and his head and feet are blatantly visible. Starscream also almost certainly has the most undercarriage junk of any transformer based on a real-life plane ever made, with his legs creating a large and blocky fuselage section and some huge and very prominent triple-barrel Gatling missile launchers mounted under each wing. Pushing the fighter along a smooth surface causes the barrels to rotate and fire their projectiles, which can also be stored in the black flip-up braces on the launchers.<br /> <br /> :During transformation, pushing up upon the canopy fuselage piece activates Starscream's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick which pushes panels out of the torso, wings and stabilizers. In robot mode, Starscream is mostly faithful to his movie CGI model, except for being bulkier around his chest, lacking engines on his back and the very large Gatling cannons serving as his arms (a facsimile of his much more slender weapons from the movie). Interestingly, his projectile missiles are sculpted to resemble fingers, should users choose keep them loaded while Starscream is in robot mode.<br /> <br /> :This toy was later retooled and redecoed into Movie [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]].<br /> <br /> *'''Battle Blade Starscream''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-02'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Starscream.jpg|right|thumb|200px|You are the Dragon Booster Artha!]]<br /> <br /> : [[Fast Action Battlers]] &quot;Battle Blade&quot; Starscream transforms into a somewhat superdeformed F-22 Raptor, simplifying the overall design to the point of his feet noticeably sticking out the aft of the fighter, and a truncated transformation sequence reminiscent of past Transformers such as ''Generation 1'' [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and ''Cybertron'' [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. Rather than having a separate weapon, he only has a claw-like blade that flips over the right hand (hence &quot;Battle Blade&quot;) and a missile in the palm of his left hand.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> *'''Starscream''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Legends_Starscream.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A gold paint job can't hide the lameness.]]<br /> <br /> : Legends-class Starscream is a highly simplified, low-cost version of Starscream in his F-22 Raptor body.

A second tap reveals even more damage. Despite being a free pack in toy, the figure is surprisingly well molded, having well defined head parts, and the twin afterburners on his back (that even the voyager lacks). It even has six fingers (or rather, four fingers and two thumbs) on each hand!<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * The card back of Protoform Starscream's packaging features a him with a completely different, earlier head sculpt. What's more, this head design is featured on his Protoform body in IDW's movie prequel comics.<br /> <br /> * His protoform was not the only design to get a new head. The earliest concepts of Starscream's head were more skull like and oblong in shape. This was, of course, redesigned to look more &quot;like a samurai helmet&quot;. Unlike the redesigned head of Megatron, Starscream's earlier face only shows up in ONE piece of media: The book [[Look and Find Transformers]].<br /> <br /> * Starscream seems to be able to fly while out of his jet form, using the F-22's engines on his back. Whether this is his actual robot form or a form between his robot and jet forms isn't known, though it appears the latter is true, as seen when he attacks the other F-22s.<br /> <br /> * It has been suggested that, following his attack on the F-22 squadron over the city, Starscream was able to hide among the survivors and take part in the attack on Megatron shortly thereafter.

He is a Renaissance Bot. Intelligent, massive, strong, and stalwart, there are few Maximals one could depend on more. Rhinox is of a rare breed -- he's incredibly tech savvy, but mystically-inclined... without coming off as a burnt-out technohippie. He's quick and decisive in a crisis, with spectacular results, but is slow and steady. He loves to go out and smell the flowers. A behind-the-scenes charismatic and an on-his-feet strategist, he could lead the Maximals if he wanted to, but he doesn't.<br /> <br /> If he sounds too good to be true, it's because he just might be. At times he can be borderline obsessive and single-minded. The Maximals are glad he's on their side, because if he ever had a change of heart, woe be to them. No, woe be to the ''galaxy.'' <br /> <br /> Still, you can't help but love a bot who can fight Megatron to a standstill without breaking a sweat yet would rather take a nap in a patch of daisies. Rhinox considers [[Rattrap (BW)| Rattrap]] to be his best friend, though he also has a close friendship with [[Optimus Primal (BW)| Optimus Primal]]. He appears to have some &quot;older sibling/parental&quot; emotions toward [[Airazor (BW)| Airazor]] due to his role in bringing her online.<br /> <br /> Rhinox's only weapons - besides his rather intimidating strength - are his twin chainguns, affectionately named &quot;Chainguns of Doom.&quot; <br /> <br /> Rhinox's spark core was an integral componant of the [[Vehicon]] General [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]].<br /> <br /> <br /> :''Spanish name:'' '''Rinox'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Animated continuity===<br /> <br /> ====''Timelines: Dawn of Future's Past''====<br /> <br /> ====''Beast Wars''====<br /> '''Voice actor:''' [[Richard Newman]] (English), [[Daiki Nakamura]] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rhinoxchainguns.jpg|left|thumb|You wouldn't like him when he's angry.]]<br /> <br /> Rhinox was a crewmember of the exploration ship [[Axalon (BW)|''Axalon'']] when captain Optimus Primal got word that the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] criminal [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] had stolen the [[Golden Disk]] and a [[Darkside|ship]] with [[transwarp]] capabilities. The ''Axalon'' was the closest vessel that also possessed a transwarp drive, so Rhinox's ship was sent to engage them. After following the Predacons through a transwarp portal and appearing above a mysterious planet, both ships were damaged in the ensuing space battle, and before both ships crashed into the planet's surface below, the [[stasis pod]]s carrying the rest of Rhinox's crew were ejected into orbit.<br /> <br /> The planet was rich with [[energon]] -- so much so that prolonged exposure would short out their bodies, so the Maximals and Predacons were forced to take organic forms from the local creatures. Rhinox took the form of a rhinoceros.<br /> <br /> When Optimus Primal was dematerialized and absorbed by a mysterious [[Vok|alien]] probe, Rhinox was forced to juryrig a gizmo to extract Optimus' molecular structure from the probe and reconstruct it. Whether or not this device would actually have worked is unknown, as shortly before he had a chance to use it, Rhinox blasted Waspinator with his chainguns (beginning the running gag of Waspinator being scrapped in every episode), and the wounded Predacon somehow accidentally triggered the Standing Stones construct, which then rematerialized Optimus on its own.<br /> <br /> Rhinox later developed [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]], a hi-tech security system for the Axalon, which unfortunately went berserk when its control panel was damaged in a struggle between [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] and [[Rattrap]]. Rattrap however, was able to infiltrate the now-heavily guarded ship and deactivate Sentinel, which was then repaired and made fully-functional by Rhinox.{{storylink|A Better Mousetrap}}<br /> [[Image:Rhinox_buddha.jpg|right|thumb|And people thought BM Optimus was bad...]]<br /> <br /> Sometime later, when the Maximals found themselves cornered by a Predacon ambush, Rhinox was able to take out their attackers with a carefully aimed spray of chaingun fire. Megatron was so impressed that he decided to make Rhinox a member of his merry band of thieves, by force. Rhinox was captured by [[Tarantulas]] and then reprogrammed into a Predacon by a device designed by Megatron called a &quot;Transmuter&quot;. However, the newly malevolent Rhinox proved to be too much for Megatron to handle, as Optimus Primal had correctly predicted. He quickly dispatched most of the Predacons, working his way up to Megs himself in an attempted coup. Rhinox very nearly succeeded, but fortunately, Megatron was able to revert him back into a Maximal using the Transmuter, and Rhinox escaped to rejoin his Maximal comrades and smell some flowers.<br /> <br /> Later, a [[stasis pod]] crash landed in a barren wasteland. Rhinox intercepted it and, with [[Cheetor]]'s help, managed to save the protoform Maximal's spark. The protoform then became [[Airazor]], who repaid the favor by saving the weakened Rhinox from [[Terrorsaur]].<br /> <br /> When Scorponok tested an experimental bomb on a group of Maximals, rendering them blind, it was Rhinox who led the group on the dangerous trek back to the Axalon, teaching them how to use their other senses. Of course, they succeeded, and afterwards, Rhinox again went off to smell some flowers.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rhinox_beerhat.jpg|right|thumb|Chug, chug, chug!]]<br /> Later, Tarantulas infected Rhinox with an energon discharge virus, which made him expel his energon reserves via his nasal passages in bursts powerful enough to tear through the hull of the Axalon, threatening both to destroy the Maximals' base and completely drain Rhinox of energy. Rattrap and Dinobot were dispatched to acquire a countervirus, while Rhinox ate some wild bean vines to keep his strength up. When the bickering duo nearly failed in their mission, the other Maximals, including Rhinox, showed up, and the rhinoceros blew away the Predacons with a massive... energon discharge caused by his ingestion of wild beans. Megatron would remember this moment as the most humiliating defeat in his entire career. Rhinox was later cured by the countervirus via a Cybertronic beer hat.<br /> <br /> During the [[Planet Buster]] crisis, Rhinox was heavily damaged by Tarantulas and [[Blackarachnia]] when they infiltrated the Axalon, forcing him to spend the remainder of the crisis in a CR chamber, thereby preventing him from being upgrade into a [[Transmetal]] by the [[quantum surge]]. Once Rhinox was fully repaired, he initiated a dangerous plan to bring the recently-deceased Optimus Primal back to life by using the hole in space-time caused by the destruction of the Planet Buster to astrally project his spark into the [[Allspark|Matrix]], where he followed the transion left by Primal's spark and led it back to the land of the living, where it was reborn as Transmetal Optimus Primal.<br /> <br /> When Blackarachnia's attempts to become a Transmetal caused her shell program to deteriorate, threatening to erase her core consciousness, Rhinox carried out a very delicate procedure to surgically remove the shell program directly. Unfortunately, certain failsafes installed by Tarantulas, combined with a Predacon attack, caused the operation to fail. Fortunately, Blackarachnia was mysteriously resurrected anyway by the [[Transmetal driver]].<br /> <br /> After Megatron raised the [[Nemesis]], Rhinox was ordered by Optimus Primal to execute Operation: Eternity, which apparently only Primal and he knew about. The purpose of the operation was to &quot;move the Ark&quot; by activating its engines and taking off; little is know beyond that, because the Maximals failed when the Ark's engines proved beyond repair. However, [[Dinobot 2]] downloaded emergency data to the Ark about an Autobot shuttle hidden within the Ark. Rhinox piloted the shuttle and flew it directly into the bridge of the Nemesis, taking down Megatron and causing the warship to spiral out of control and crash somewhere beyond the horizon. Thus, the Beast Wars were won.

His tail also detaches to become a scimitar.<br /> : The two panels mounted either side of his head, made to look like samurai kabuto, close together to form his 'mutant' battle mask.<br /> <br /> : The [[Takara]] release of Rhinox added a thick layer of gray paint to the beast-mode parts that faded to reveal the original tan towards the lower body. ''Why'' is uncertain, as this made him even less like his show coloration.<br /> <br /> *'''Rhinox vs Shadow Panther''' (Multi-pack, 1996)<br /> : ''Japanese ID number:'' '''V-7'''<br /> <br /> : In Japan, Rhinox was available both in an individual release, and in a two-pack with the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Ravage|Shadow Panther]].<br /> <br /> * '''Rhinox''' (Transmetal, 1998)<br /> : ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-44'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Transmetal_rhinox_toy.jpg|left|thumb|No chain gun of doom?

The rhino mode has fold-down skis in the front legs, and tank treads in the rear legs so he can become a kind of snow mobile. In robot mode, he loses his projectile weapon, armed with only his blade, now formed out of his beast mode horn.<br /> : In the Hasbro line, early releases of the toy had a much paler aqua-colored chrome than later versions. Such chrome differences were seemingly common among the Transmetals, but the pale/rich-chrome Rhinoxes seem to be the most common and most likely intentional change.<br /> <br /> : The Takara release of Transmetal Rhinox has gold chrome instead of the aqua-blue, and replaces the &quot;RHINOX&quot; [[tampograph]] with &quot;CYBERTRON&quot; and the Maximal faction sigil.<br /> <br /> : This mold was used to make ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]].<br /> <br /> * '''Beast Wars''' (Fast food premium, 1998)<br /> [[Image:Rallnox.JPG|right|thumb|150px|Merciful death.]]<br /> <br /> : Available only as part of a Hasbro-brand-names fast food promotion (which included miniature versions of other Hasbro properties like Mr. Potato Head), and labeled simply as &quot;Beast Wars&quot;, this toy is an ''extremely'' simplified version of the Transmetal Rhinox toy, available only at participating Rally's and Checkers resturants.<br /> <br /> : Despite it being... well, ''look'' at it... it goes for ''mad'' money on the secondary market.

Hasbro documents listed this toy as &quot;Energon Surge Rhinox&quot;, a name that never made it to the final package.<br /> <br /> * '''Rhinox''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 2000)<br /> <br /> : Part of the last year of mass-retail ''Beast Wars'' product (sold concurrently with the early releases of ''[[Beast Machines]]''), the Transmetal mold also got a &quot;Fox Kids&quot; redeco in mainly blue and gray... an interesting color choice, given that it's the show-colors of [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], who Rhinox would become.<br /> <br /> ===Beast Wars 10th Anniversary===<br /> * '''Rhinox''' (Tenth Anniversary, 2006)<br /> <br /> [[Image:BW10Rhinox_toy.jpg|left|thumb|&quot;It's a danger to itself and everyone around it.

They also tampographed a Maximal sigil on his beast mode's right foreleg... just incase Beast Machines made you forget.<br /> : Also included was the lower torso and right leg to [[Transmutate]], and a DVD of the ''Beast Wars'' epsiode &quot;[[The Spark]]&quot;, spotlighting Rhonix. <br /> : This edition of Rhinox is assembled with his shoulders and upper robot arm assembly on the wrong sides, so the screws that hold them together are visible from the front of the robot. Swaping the arms is fairly easy as the two visible screws are the only thing holding the shoulder assembly, and adhesive was rarely used around the time of Beast Wars figures. <br /> <br /> *'''Rhinox'''<br /> : ''Japanese ID number:'' '''TM-09'''<br /> : This figure, released a year later to celebrate Japan's 10 Anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', has the same assembly error as the U.S. version, but this time it's partailly forgivable due to greater show-accuracy.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Timelines===<br /> * '''Dawn of Future's Past''' (Multi-pack, 2006)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Botcon_Rhinox_toy.jpg|right|thumb|&quot;I only signed onto this crew so I could bulldoze some flowers *evil laugh*&quot;]]<br /> <br /> : A redeco of ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Landmine (Energon)#Cybertron 2|Landmine]], &quot;Axalon Rhinox&quot; is one of five toys in [[BotCon 2006]]'s ''Dawn of Future's Past'' box set.

He is a Renaissance Bot. Intelligent, massive, strong, and stalwart, there are few Maximals one could depend on more. Rhinox is of a rare breed -- he's incredibly tech savvy, but mystically-inclined... without coming off as a burnt-out technohippie. He's quick and decisive in a crisis, with spectacular results, but is slow and steady. He loves to go out and smell the flowers. A behind-the-scenes charismatic and an on-his-feet strategist, he could lead the Maximals if he wanted to, but he doesn't.<br /> <br /> If he sounds too good to be true, it's because he just might be. At times he can be borderline obsessive and single-minded. The Maximals are glad he's on their side, because if he ever had a change of heart, woe be to them. No, woe be to the ''galaxy.'' <br /> <br /> Still, you can't help but love a bot who can fight Megatron to a standstill without breaking a sweat yet would rather take a nap in a patch of daisies. Rhinox considers [[Rattrap (BW)| Rattrap]] to be his best friend, though he also has a close friendship with [[Optimus Primal (BW)| Optimus Primal]]. He appears to have some &quot;older sibling/parental&quot; emotions toward [[Airazor (BW)| Airazor]] due to his role in bringing her online.<br /> <br /> Rhinox's only weapons - besides his rather intimidating strength - are his twin chainguns, affectionately named &quot;Chainguns of Doom.&quot; <br /> <br /> Rhinox's spark core was an integral componant of the [[Vehicon]] General [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]].<br /> <br /> <br /> :''Spanish name:'' '''Rinox'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Animated continuity===<br /> <br /> ====''Timelines: Dawn of Future's Past''====<br /> <br /> ====''Beast Wars''====<br /> '''Voice actor:''' [[Richard Newman]] (English), [[Daiki Nakamura]] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rhinoxchainguns.jpg|left|thumb|You wouldn't like him when he's angry.]]<br /> <br /> Rhinox was a crewmember of the exploration ship [[Axalon (BW)|''Axalon'']] when captain Optimus Primal got word that the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] criminal [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] had stolen the [[Golden Disk]] and a [[Darkside|ship]] with [[transwarp]] capabilities. The ''Axalon'' was the closest vessel that also possessed a transwarp drive, so Rhinox's ship was sent to engage them. After following the Predacons through a transwarp portal and appearing above a mysterious planet, both ships were damaged in the ensuing space battle, and before both ships crashed into the planet's surface below, the [[stasis pod]]s carrying the rest of Rhinox's crew were ejected into orbit.<br /> <br /> The planet was rich with [[energon]] -- so much so that prolonged exposure would short out their bodies, so the Maximals and Predacons were forced to take organic forms from the local creatures. Rhinox took the form of a rhinoceros.<br /> <br /> When Optimus Primal was dematerialized and absorbed by a mysterious [[Vok|alien]] probe, Rhinox was forced to juryrig a gizmo to extract Optimus' molecular structure from the probe and reconstruct it.

Hasbro documents listed this toy as &quot;Energon Surge Rhinox&quot;, a name that never made it to the final package.<br /> <br /> * '''Rhinox''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 2000)<br /> <br /> : Part of the last year of mass-retail ''Beast Wars'' product (sold concurrently with the early releases of ''[[Beast Machines]]''), the Transmetal mold also got a &quot;Fox Kids&quot; redeco in mainly blue and gray... an interesting color choice, given that it's the show-colors of [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], who Rhinox would become.<br /> <br /> ===Beast Wars 10th Anniversary===<br /> * '''Rhinox''' (Tenth Anniversary, 2006)<br /> <br /> [[Image:BW10Rhinox_toy.jpg|left|thumb|&quot;It's a danger to itself and everyone around it. It's best to put it into stasis lock, ''immediately''.&quot; ...jerk.]]<br /> <br /> : For the U.S. 10th Anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', Hasbro redecoed the original 1996 Rhinox toy in more show-accurate colours, giving him a darker beast mode colour scheme, and painted gold details on his robot mode head, to more closely match the CGI model. They also tampographed a Maximal sigil on his beast mode's right foreleg... just incase Beast Machines made you forget.<br /> : Also included was the lower torso and right leg to [[Transmutate]], and a DVD of the ''Beast Wars'' epsiode &quot;[[The Spark]]&quot;, spotlighting Rhonix. <br /> : This edition of Rhinox is assembled with his shoulders and upper robot arm assembly on the wrong sides, so the screws that hold them together are visible from the front of the robot. Swaping the arms is fairly easy as the two visible screws are the only thing holding the shoulder assembly, and adhesive was rarely used around the time of Beast Wars figures. <br /> <br /> *'''Rhinox'''<br /> : ''Japanese ID number:'' '''TM-09'''<br /> : This figure, released a year later to celebrate Japan's 10 Anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', has the same assembly error as the U.S. version, but this time it's partailly forgivable due to greater show-accuracy.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Timelines===<br /> * '''Dawn of Future's Past''' (Multi-pack, 2006)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Botcon_Rhinox_toy.jpg|right|thumb|&quot;I only signed onto this crew so I could bulldoze some flowers *evil laugh*&quot;]]<br /> <br /> : A redeco of ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Landmine (Energon)#Cybertron 2|Landmine]], &quot;Axalon Rhinox&quot; is one of five toys in [[BotCon 2006]]'s ''Dawn of Future's Past'' box set.

This gimmick and his spring-loaded missile launcher are usable in both modes.<br /> : This set also included &quot;Axalon&quot; versions of [[Optimus Primal#Timelines 2|Optimus Primal]], [[Cheetor (BW)#Timelines 2|Cheetor]], [[Rattrap#Timelines 2|Rattrap]], and &quot;Darksyde&quot; [[Dinobot (BW)#Timelines 2|Dinobot]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Mechandise===<br /> [[Image:Hardhero_rhinox.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Flower-smelling/nature-hating, gentle/megalomaniacal, Maximal/Jerk.]]<br /> <br /> In 2004, Hard Hero announced a line of ''Beast Wars'' statues, starting with Rhinox.

The beater he and his father take home is actually [[Bumblebee]], an alien robot from the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], who plants Sam down in the middle of a civil war between Bumblebee's benevolent [[Autobot]] comrades and the evil [[Decepticon]]s who threaten the galaxy's peace. Both sides are after the [[All Spark]], a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth ten thousand years ago. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family's motto, &quot;No sacrifice, no victory.&quot;<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Full synopsis==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Prime-Sam-Mikaela-poster.jpg|left|thumb|250px|What [[BotCon]] attendees see when they look at [[Peter Cullen]].]]<br /> <br /> The film begins with the history of Cybertron's destruction at the hands of Megatron, and his quest to obtain the All Spark. Megatron discovers the All Spark on Earth, but crash-lands in the Arctic Circle, becoming frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky and his crew of explorers stumble upon Megatron's body in the late 19th century. Megatron's navigational system is unintentionally activated, and Archibald's eye glasses are imprinted with the coordinates to the All Spark's location. Sector 7, a secret organization of the United States government, discovers the All Spark and builds the Hoover Dam around it to mask the energy signal. The still-frozen Megatron is moved into this facility, and is reverse engineered to further advance human technology.<br /> <br /> In the present day, the rest of the Decepticons — Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Devastator — have already landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles. Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base in Qatar in an effort to use the military database to discover the location of Megatron and the All Spark, but they do not succeed. A small group of survivors from the military base attack wander through the desert and are attacked by Scorponok. The Autonomous Robotic Life Form (shortened to &quot;Autobot&quot;) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the descendant of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo his crush, Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One and discovers that Sam possesses the map that will lead the Decepticons to the All Spark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location.<br /> <br /> Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Archibald's glasses. Bumblebee, who is following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who is also following Sam, is caught in the crossfire, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home to retrieve the glasses. However, agents from Sector 7 arrive to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the agents - to no avail - that he means them no harm.<br /> <br /> Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and releases Megatron from cryogenic stasis. Locating the All Spark, he sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron escapes, and Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the All Spark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now possess the All Spark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle results in casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the All Spark when he rams it into Megatron's chest. The remains of the Decepticons are cast into the Laurentian Abyss. With no other home to go to - Cybertron having been destroyed by Megatron - the Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots, while Sam and Mikaela begin a relationship. Starscream, one of the Decepticons that survived the battle, leaves Earth.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> ''&quot;Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from. Only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life; That was how our race was born.

And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space.

The beater he and his father take home is actually [[Bumblebee]], an alien robot from the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], who plants Sam down in the middle of a civil war between Bumblebee's benevolent [[Autobot]] comrades and the evil [[Decepticon]]s who threaten the galaxy's peace. Both sides are after the [[All Spark]], a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth ten thousand years ago. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family's motto, &quot;No sacrifice, no victory.&quot;<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Full synopsis==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Prime-Sam-Mikaela-poster.jpg|left|thumb|250px|What [[BotCon]] attendees see when they look at [[Peter Cullen]].]]<br /> <br /> The film begins with the history of Cybertron's destruction at the hands of Megatron, and his quest to obtain the All Spark. Megatron discovers the All Spark on Earth, but crash-lands in the Arctic Circle, becoming frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky and his crew of explorers stumble upon Megatron's body in the late 19th century. Megatron's navigational system is unintentionally activated, and Archibald's eye glasses are imprinted with the coordinates to the All Spark's location. Sector 7, a secret organization of the United States government, discovers the All Spark and builds the Hoover Dam around it to mask the energy signal. The still-frozen Megatron is moved into this facility, and is reverse engineered to further advance human technology.<br /> <br /> In the present day, the rest of the Decepticons — Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Devastator — have already landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles. Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base in Qatar in an effort to use the military database to discover the location of Megatron and the All Spark, but they do not succeed. A small group of survivors from the military base attack wander through the desert and are attacked by Scorponok. The Autonomous Robotic Life Form (shortened to &quot;Autobot&quot;) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the descendant of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo his crush, Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One and discovers that Sam possesses the map that will lead the Decepticons to the All Spark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location.<br /> <br /> Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Archibald's glasses. Bumblebee, who is following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who is also following Sam, is caught in the crossfire, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home to retrieve the glasses. However, agents from Sector 7 arrive to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the agents - to no avail - that he means them no harm.<br /> <br /> Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and releases Megatron from cryogenic stasis. Locating the All Spark, he sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron escapes, and Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the All Spark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now possess the All Spark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle results in casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the All Spark when he rams it into Megatron's chest. The remains of the Decepticons are cast into the Laurentian Abyss. With no other home to go to - Cybertron having been destroyed by Megatron - the Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots, while Sam and Mikaela begin a relationship. Starscream, one of the Decepticons that survived the battle, leaves Earth.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> ''&quot;Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from. Only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life; That was how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home, searching every star, every world.

The beater he and his father take home is actually [[Bumblebee]], an alien robot from the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], who plants Sam down in the middle of a civil war between Bumblebee's benevolent [[Autobot]] comrades and the evil [[Decepticon]]s who threaten the galaxy's peace. Both sides are after the [[All Spark]], a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth ten thousand years ago. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family's motto, &quot;No sacrifice, no victory.&quot;<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Full synopsis==<br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Prime-Sam-Mikaela-poster.jpg|left|thumb|250px|What [[BotCon]] attendees see when they look at [[Peter Cullen]].]]<br /> <br /> The film begins with the history of Cybertron's destruction at the hands of Megatron, and his quest to obtain the All Spark. Megatron discovers the All Spark on Earth, but crash-lands in the Arctic Circle, becoming frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky and his crew of explorers stumble upon Megatron's body in the late 19th century. Megatron's navigational system is unintentionally activated, and Archibald's eye glasses are imprinted with the coordinates to the All Spark's location. Sector 7, a secret organization of the United States government, discovers the All Spark and builds the Hoover Dam around it to mask the energy signal. The still-frozen Megatron is moved into this facility, and is reverse engineered to further advance human technology.<br /> <br /> In the present day, the rest of the Decepticons — Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Devastator — have already landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles. Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base in Qatar in an effort to use the military database to discover the location of Megatron and the All Spark, but they do not succeed. A small group of survivors from the military base attack wander through the desert and are attacked by Scorponok. The Autonomous Robotic Life Form (shortened to &quot;Autobot&quot;) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the descendant of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo his crush, Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One and discovers that Sam possesses the map that will lead the Decepticons to the All Spark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location.<br /> <br /> Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Archibald's glasses. Bumblebee, who is following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who is also following Sam, is caught in the crossfire, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home to retrieve the glasses. However, agents from Sector 7 arrive to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the agents - to no avail - that he means them no harm.<br /> <br /> Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and releases Megatron from cryogenic stasis. Locating the All Spark, he sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron escapes, and Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the All Spark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now possess the All Spark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle results in casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the All Spark when he rams it into Megatron's chest. The remains of the Decepticons are cast into the Laurentian Abyss. With no other home to go to - Cybertron having been destroyed by Megatron - the Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots, while Sam and Mikaela begin a relationship. Starscream, one of the Decepticons that survived the battle, leaves Earth.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> ''&quot;Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from. Only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life; That was how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home, searching every star, every world.

<p>67.82.153.240: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig2|the Autobot hipster from the live action movie|the original ''cool cat''|Jazz (G1)}}<br /> <br /> :''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[Image:MovieJazz_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|&quot;Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in his stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward. His only real complaint is that he gets stuck fighting the small ones.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Ghosts Of Yesterday===<br /> Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Jazz_protoformcrash.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Looks like those homers Ruth hit finally came back from orbit. IT'S BACKA HERE!!!!!]]<br /> <br /> Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode. Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as &quot;little bitches,&quot; stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam their mission to find the [[All Spark]] and how his [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.<br /> <br /> Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.<br /> <br /> When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons']] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Don't kick the baby.JPG|right|thumb|250px|&quot;Don't kick the baby!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the All Spark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the All Spark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.<br /> <br /> On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.<br /> <br /> Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz sped to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Devastator also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck Devastator's left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off.<br /> <br /> Jazz then attacked [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the All Spark to safety, Jazz attempted to buy them some time by taking on Megatron by himself but was completely overmatched. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him into the crushing grip of his talons.

<p>67.82.153.240: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Blackout}}<br /> <br /> :''Blackout is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[Image:MovieBlackout_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Hike the ball already!]]<br /> <br /> The massive '''Blackout''' has been described as the &quot;hound&quot; of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. In better days he was always to be found looming powerful and silent behind his leader's right shoulder. When given a target he hunts it down with fierce determination. Blackout is not happy with the progress [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] is making towards finding the missing Decepticon leader. He suspects (quite rightly) that Starscream would prefer Megatron to stay lost. Blackout is openly mutinous and will challenge Starscream's leadership at any opportunity, not for his own sake, but to better serve his ultimate goal of finding his lost master. Blackout has a sneaky side and uses his symbiotic companion [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s small size to great advantage.<br /> <br /> <br /> :''Working names'': '''Soundwave''', '''Devastator''', '''Vortex''', '''Incinerator'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===<br /> <br /> While Starscream is hoping not to find Megatron, Blackout is working against him in hopes of restoring the former leader. He attacks him but loses.<br /> <br /> ===''Prime Directives'' prequel comic===<br /> <br /> The Decepticon infiltration unit under the command of Starscream arrived on [[Earth]] in the year 2003. Blackout scanned a USAF [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|MH-53 Pavelow]] helicopter, then destroyed the original human craft to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_Raptors.jpg|left|thumb|201px|I will let them order me now so I can shoot them later.]]<br /> <br /> Blackout flew into the airspace of [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] and refused to identify himself, prompting base commander [[Colonel Sharp]] to dispatch two [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]]s to escort the Decepticon into their base. One of the Raptors reported that Blackout had the registry number of 4500X on his vertical stabilizer, the number of the helicopter Blackout had scanned and destroyed three months earlier in Afghanistan.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_SOCCENTAttack1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|All your base are belong to [[Decepticon|us]].]]<br /> <br /> Once landed, Blackout was surrounded by the soldiers stationed at the base and ordered to power down and disembark his crew, or deadly force would be used. Seeing no reason to hide himself any further, Blackout transformed under a hail of automatic weapons fire from the shocked humans. Activating his heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, Blackout made quick work of the soldiers in closest to him, then unleashed a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave that killed the rest of the troops and shattered their vehicles and the windows of the operations control tower. Blackout made his way around the base, tossing tanks aside, crushing soldiers underfoot and blowing up aircraft. Eventually, he reached the operations bunker and tore off the roof to link up with their server and download its files in an attempt to find information on [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Ice Man]]. Unfortunately, the base commander intervened, cutting the physical hard line of the server, severing Blackout's connection and thwarting the primary objective of his mission.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_holoavatar.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Watch me stroke my mustache as I contemplate the destruction of Earth.]]<br /> <br /> Still, Blackout carried out his second objective - the destruction of the human base. As he proceeded, [[Robert Epps|a human soldier]] was nearly crushed. Instinctively, the soldier recorded images of Blackout, the Decepticon indulging this brief moment of curiosity by looking straight back at the human. Blackout then activated a chest-mounted laser cannon to put the fleshling out of its misery, but before he could do so, he was struck by a sabot round fired by [[Jorge Figueroa|another soldier]], and the human made his escape. Enraged, Blackout fired flare countermeasures into the sky to confuse any other attempts to attack him, then ejected Scorponok from his back and sent the minion to track the [[William Lennox|fleeing]] [[Sergeant Donnelly|soldiers]]. Blackout then turned his attention and his weapons back to the rest of the base, eventually destroying it, leaving no survivors.<br /> <br /> Evidently, after the attack, Blackout flew back to the [[United States of America|United States]], as he was in the vicinity when [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported the discovery of All Spark's location and Starscream ordered their forces to move out. Blackout acknowledged the order, then rallied in Megatron's name, perhaps to remind Starscream who his master was.<br /> <br /> Blackout arrived at [[Mission City]] just as the final battle was getting underway. He attempted to block [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]]'s path as the boy was trying to get away with the All Spark before he was warded off by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]].<br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> :''('''Note:''' The possible period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the movie appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comic. See Trivia section below.)''<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money. The huge number of Autobot drones backing Ironhide up didn't make things any easier.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-01'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Blackout_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The largest Decepticon in the film. Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure ''ever''.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|... ''Brown''out?]]<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Titanium Series===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (3&quot; Robot Masters, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This three-inch figurine, as with all Titaniums, is partially made of die-cast metal and plastic, sculpted holding his rotor-blades as a hand weapon. Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing the game render. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes packaged with a movie-style Decepticon symbol display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque. In the film ''itself'', Blackout's only speaking role has him quickly reporting to Starscream's call... in Cybertronian, with he alone both hailing Megatron upon the All Spark's discovery and attempting to aid him in battle against Prime. What's more, all this &quot;Soundwave-ness&quot; is further inhanced by Hasbro's official bio, calling Blackout &quot;his leader's hound&quot;.<br /> <br /> * Apart from being a helicopter just like Vortex, which was also his original working name, Blackout's ''later'' working name, &quot;Incinerator&quot;, is also accounted for in the same Hasbro bio, noting how Blackout will &quot;fill the air with fire and burn the land clear to take his revenge&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the film, three months prior to the unfolding events, appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comics, with him apparently having scanned and destroyed the MH-53 Pave Low all the way back in 2003. It's maaaaybe possible that he just kept on destroying ''different'' Pave Lows over time to maintain his covert status (with the U.S. government covering it up) until he finally realized how close he was to a military network access point. <br /> <br /> * During a transmission from Burger King's website, Optimus Prime has decreed that we are not to ride ''this'' helicopter. The current rideability of ''other'' helicopters the world over is unknown.

Good-natured and always able to take things in his stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward. His only real complaint is that he gets stuck fighting the small ones.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Ghosts Of Yesterday===<br /> Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Jazz_protoformcrash.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Looks like those homers Ruth hit finally came back from orbit. IT'S BACKA HERE!!!!!]]<br /> <br /> Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode. Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as &quot;little bitches,&quot; stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam their mission to find the [[All Spark]] and how his [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.<br /> <br /> Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.<br /> <br /> When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons']] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Don't kick the baby.JPG|right|thumb|250px|&quot;Don't kick the baby!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the All Spark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the All Spark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.<br /> <br /> On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.<br /> <br /> Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz sped to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Devastator also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck Devastator's left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off.<br /> <br /> Jazz then attacked [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the All Spark to safety, Jazz attempted to buy them some time by taking on Megatron by himself but was completely overmatched. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him into the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> ===Techspecs=== <br /> Despite his quite unambiguous death in the film itself, the packaging for the upcoming Target-exclusive Jazz redeco (see below) claims he survived this encounter and was repaired by Ratchet, and that he chose his new colors as a way to relieve boredom during his long convalescence.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers (2007)===<br /> *'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''<br /> [[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|200px|&quot;Just wait.

Just bounce with me. Now freeze!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in his stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanour of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward. His only real complaint is that he gets stuck fighting the small ones.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Ghosts Of Yesterday===<br /> Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Jazz_protoformcrash.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Looks like those homers Ruth hit finally came back from orbit. IT'S BACKA HERE!!!!!]]<br /> <br /> Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode. Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as &quot;little bitches&quot;, stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam their mission to find the [[All Spark]] and how his [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.<br /> <br /> Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.<br /> <br /> When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons']] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Don't kick the baby.JPG|right|thumb|250px|&quot;Don't kick the baby!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the All Spark, and when Ironhide asked if the primative and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered if the Transformers were so different in the past. Going onto explain what he saw in the humans, how if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the All Spark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.<br /> <br /> On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and Optimus applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.<br /> <br /> Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz sped to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Devastator also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck his left side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off.<br /> <br /> Jazz then attacked [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escored Sam and the All Spark to safety, Jazz attempted to buy them some time by taking on Megatron by himself but was completely overmatched. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, the landed upon him with the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers (2007)===<br /> *'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''<br /> [[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|200px|&quot;Just wait.

Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted canon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.<br /> <br /> : As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph]]ing gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.<br /> <br /> *'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Legends_Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|Why My Bumpers Hurt?]]<br /> <br /> : A much smaller version of the character, Legends Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police bar envy]] is unknown.<br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)<br /> : ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FinalBattleJazz_toy.jpg|thumb|right|251px|Ouchies.]]<br /> <br /> : An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance.

In better days he was always to be found looming powerful and silent behind his leader's right shoulder. When given a target he hunts it down with fierce determination. Blackout is not happy with the progress [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] is making towards finding the missing Decepticon leader. He suspects (quite rightly) that Starscream would prefer Megatron to stay lost. Blackout is openly mutinous and will challenge Starscream's leadership at any opportunity, not for his own sake, but to better serve his ultimate goal of finding his lost master. Blackout has a sneaky side and uses his symbiotic companion [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s small size to great advantage.<br /> <br /> <br /> :''Working names'': '''Soundwave''', '''Devastator''', '''Vortex''', '''Incinerator'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===<br /> <br /> While Starscream is hoping not to find Megatron, Blackout is working against him in hopes of restoring the former leader. He attacks him but loses.<br /> <br /> ===''Prime Directives'' prequel comic===<br /> <br /> The Decepticon infiltration unit under the command of Starscream arrived on [[Earth]] in the year 2003. Blackout scanned a USAF [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|MH-53 Pavelow]] helicopter, then destroyed the original human craft to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_Raptors.jpg|left|thumb|200px|I will let them order me now so I can shoot them later.]]<br /> <br /> Blackout flew into the airspace of [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] and refused to identify himself, prompting base commander [[Colonel Sharp]] to dispatch two [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]]s to escort the Decepticon into their base. One of the Raptors reported that Blackout had the registry number of 4500X on his vertical stabilizer, the number of the helicopter Blackout had scanned and destroyed three months earlier in Afghanistan.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_SOCCENTAttack1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|All your base are belong to [[Decepticon|us]].]]<br /> <br /> Once landed, Blackout was surrounded by the soldiers stationed at the base and ordered to power down and disembark his crew, or deadly force would be used. Seeing no reason to hide himself any further, Blackout transformed under a hail of automatic weapons fire from the shocked humans. Activating his heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, Blackout made quick work of the soldiers in closest to him, then unleashed a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave that killed the rest of the troops and shattered their vehicles and the windows of the operations control tower. Blackout made his way around the base, tossing tanks aside, crushing soldiers underfoot and blowing up aircraft. Eventually, he reached the operations bunker and tore off the roof to link up with their server and download its files in an attempt to find information on [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Ice Man]]. Unfortunately, the base commander intervened, cutting the physical hard line of the server, severing Blackout's connection and thwarting the primary objective of his mission.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_holoavatar.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Watch me stroke my mustache as I contemplate the destruction of Earth.]]<br /> <br /> Still, Blackout carried out his second objective - the destruction of the human base. As he proceeded, [[Robert Epps|a human soldier]] was nearly crushed. Instinctively, the soldier recorded images of Blackout, the Decepticon indulging this brief moment of curiosity by looking straight back at the human. Blackout then activated a chest-mounted laser cannon to put the fleshling out of its misery, but before he could do so, he was struck by a sabot round fired by [[Jorge Figueroa|another soldier]], and the human made his escape. Enraged, Blackout fired flare countermeasures into the sky to confuse any other attempts to attack him, then ejected Scorponok from his back and sent the minion to track the [[William Lennox|fleeing]] [[Sergeant Donnelly|soldiers]]. Blackout then turned his attention and his weapons back to the rest of the base, eventually destroying it, leaving no survivors.<br /> <br /> Evidently, after the attack, Blackout flew back to the [[United States of America|United States]], as he was in the vicinity when [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported the discovery of All Spark's location and Starscream ordered their forces to move out. Blackout acknowledged the order, then rallied in Megatron's name, perhaps to remind Starscream who his master was.<br /> <br /> Blackout arrived at [[Mission City]] just as the final battle was getting underway. He attempted to block [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]]'s path as the boy was trying to get away with the All Spark before he was warded off by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]].<br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> :''('''Note:''' The possible period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the movie appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comic. See Trivia section below.)'' <br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money. The huge number of Autobot drones backing Ironhide up didn't make things any easier.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-01'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Blackout_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The largest Decepticon in the film. Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure ''ever''.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|... ''Brown''out?]]<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Titanium Series===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (3&quot; Robot Masters, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This three-inch figurine, as with all Titaniums, is partially made of die-cast metal and plastic, sculpted holding his rotor-blades as a hand weapon. Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing the game render. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes packaged with a movie-style Decepticon symbol display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque. In the film ''itself'', Blackout's only speaking role has him quickly reporting to Starscream's call... in Cybertronian, with he alone both hailing Megatron upon the All Spark's discovery and attempting to aid him in battle against Prime. What's more, all this &quot;Soundwave-ness&quot; is further inhanced by Hasbro's official bio, calling Blackout &quot;his leader's hound&quot;.<br /> <br /> * Apart from being a helicopter just like Vortex, which was also his original working name, Blackout's ''later'' working name, &quot;Incinerator&quot;, is also accounted for in the same Hasbro bio, noting how Blackout will &quot;fill the air with fire and burn the land clear to take his revenge&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the film, three months prior to the unfolding events, appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comics, with him apparently having scanned and destroyed the MH-53 Pave Low all the way back in 2003. It's maaaaybe possible that he just kept on destroying ''different'' Pave Lows over time to maintain his covert status (with the U.S. government covering it up) until he finally realized how close he was to a military network access point. <br /> <br /> * During a transmission from Burger King's website, Optimus Prime has decreed that we are not to ride ''this'' helicopter. The current rideability of ''other'' helicopters the world over is unknown.

Blackout scanned a USAF [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|MH-53 Pavelow]] helicopter, then destroyed the original human craft to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_Raptors.jpg|left|thumb|200px|I will let them order me now so I can shoot them later.]]<br /> <br /> Blackout flew into the airspace of [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] and refused to identify himself, prompting base commander [[Colonel Sharp]] to dispatch two [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]]s to escort the Decepticon into their base. One of the Raptors reported that Blackout had the registry number of 4500X on his vertical stabilizer, the number of the helicopter Blackout had scanned and destroyed three months earlier in Afghanistan.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_SOCCENTAttack1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|All your base are belong to [[Decepticon|us]].]]<br /> <br /> Once landed, Blackout was surrounded by the soldiers stationed at the base and ordered to power down and disembark his crew, or deadly force would be used. Seeing no reason to hide himself any further, Blackout transformed under a hail of automatic weapons fire from the shocked humans. Activating his heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, Blackout made quick work of the soldiers in closest to him, then unleashed a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave that killed the rest of the troops and shattered their vehicles and the windows of the operations control tower. Blackout made his way around the base, tossing tanks aside, crushing soldiers underfoot and blowing up aircraft. Eventually, he reached the operations bunker and tore off the roof to link up with their server and download its files in an attempt to find information on [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Ice Man]]. Unfortunately, the base commander intervened, cutting the physical hard line of the server, severing Blackout's connection and thwarting the primary objective of his mission.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_holoavatar.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Watch me stroke my mustache as I contemplate the destruction of Earth.]]<br /> <br /> Still, Blackout carried out his second objective - the destruction of the human base. As he proceeded, [[Robert Epps|a human soldier]] was nearly crushed. Instinctively, the soldier recorded images of Blackout, the Decepticon indulging this brief moment of curiosity by looking straight back at the human. Blackout then activated a chest-mounted laser cannon to put the fleshling out of its misery, but before he could do so, he was struck by a sabot round fired by [[Jorge Figueroa|another soldier]], and the human made his escape. Enraged, Blackout fired flare countermeasures into the sky to confuse any other attempts to attack him, then ejected Scorponok from his back and sent the minion to track the [[William Lennox|fleeing]] [[Sergeant Donnelly|soldiers]]. Blackout then turned his attention and his weapons back to the rest of the base, eventually destroying it, leaving no survivors.<br /> <br /> Evidently, after the attack, Blackout flew back to the [[United States of America|United States]], as he was in the vicinity when [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported the discovery of All Spark's location and Starscream ordered their forces to move out. Blackout acknowledged the order, then rallied in Megatron's name, perhaps to remind Starscream who his master was.<br /> <br /> Blackout arrived at [[Mission City]] just as the final battle was getting underway. He attempted to block [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]]'s path as the boy was trying to get away with the All Spark before he was warded off by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]], killing him. <br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money. The huge number of Autobot drones backing Ironhide up didn't make things any easier.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-01'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Blackout_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The largest Decepticon in the film. Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure ''ever''.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout was packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|... ''Brown''out?]]<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Titanium Series===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (3&quot; Robot Masters, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This three-inch figurine, as with all Titaniums, is partially made of die-cast metal and plastic, sculpted holding his rotor-blades as a hand weapon. Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing the game render. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes packaged with a movie-style Decepticon symbol display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque. In the film ''itself'', Blackout's only speaking role has him quickly reporting to Starscream's call... in Cybertronian, with he alone both hailing Megatron upon the All Spark's discovery and attempting to aid him in battle against Prime. What's more, all this &quot;Soundwave-ness&quot; is further inhanced by Hasbro's official bio, calling Blackout &quot;his leader's hound&quot;.<br /> <br /> * Apart from being a helicopter just like Vortex, which was also his original working name, Blackout's ''later'' working name, &quot;Incinerator&quot;, is also accounted for in the same Hasbro bio, noting how Blackout will &quot;fill the air with fire and burn the land clear to take his revenge&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the film, a mere two weeks prior to the unfolding events, appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comics, with him apparently having scanned and destroyed the MH-53 Pave Low all the way back in 2003. It's maaaaybe possible that he just kept on destroying ''different'' Pave Lows over time to maintain his covert status (with the U.S. government covering it up) until he finally realized how close he was to a military network access point... maybe? I dunno. <br /> <br /> * During a transmission from Burger King's website, Optimus Prime has decreed that we are not to ride ''this'' helicopter. The current rideability of ''other'' helicopters the world over is unknown.

Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]], killing him. <br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]].

He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money.

Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure ''ever''.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout was packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|...

Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing the game render. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes packaged with a movie-style Decepticon symbol display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque. In the film ''itself'', Blackout's only speaking role has him quickly reporting to Starscream's call... in Cybertronian, with he alone both hailing Megatron upon the All Spark's discovery and attempting to aid him in battle against Prime. What's more, all this &quot;Soundwave-ness&quot; is further inhanced by Hasbro's official bio, calling Blackout &quot;his leader's hound&quot;.<br /> <br /> * Apart from being a helicopter just like Vortex, which was also his original working name, Blackout's ''later'' working name, &quot;Incinerator&quot;, is also accounted for in the same Hasbro bio, noting how Blackout will &quot;fill the air with fire and burn the land clear to take his revenge&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the film, a mere two weeks prior to the unfolding events, appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comics, with him apparently having scanned and destroyed the MH-53 Pave Low all the way back in 2003. It's maaaaybe possible that he just kept on destroying ''different'' Pave Lows over time to maintain his covert status (with the U.S. government covering it up) until he finally realized how close he was to a military network access point... maybe? I dunno. <br /> <br /> * During a transmission from Burger King's website, Optimus Prime has decreed that we are not to ride ''this'' helicopter. The current rideability of ''other'' helicopters the world over is unknown.

The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout was packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|...

Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing the game render. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes packaged with a movie-style Decepticon symbol display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque. In the film ''itself'', Blackout's only speaking role has him quickly reporting to Starscream's call... in Cybertronian, with he alone both hailing Megatron upon the All Spark's discovery and attempting to aid him in battle against Prime. What's more, all this &quot;Soundwave-ness&quot; is further inhanced by Hasbro's official bio, calling Blackout &quot;his leader's hound&quot;.<br /> <br /> * Apart from being a helicopter just like Vortex, which was also his original working name, Blackout's ''later'' working name, &quot;Incinerator&quot;, is also accounted for in the same Hasbro bio, noting how Blackout will &quot;fill the air with fire and burn the land clear to take his revenge&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the film, a mere two weeks prior to the unfolding events, appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comics, with him apparently having scanned and destroyed the MH-53 Pave Low all the way back in 2003. It's maaaaybe possible that he just kept on destroying ''different'' Pave Lows over time to maintain his covert status (with the U.S. government covering it up) until he finally realized how close he was to a military network access point... maybe? I dunno. <br /> <br /> * During a transmission from Burger King's website, Optimus Prime has decreed that we are not to ride ''this'' helicopter.

Blackout is not happy with the progress [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] is making towards finding the missing Decepticon leader. He suspects (quite rightly) that Starscream would prefer Megatron to stay lost. Blackout is openly mutinous and will challenge Starscream's leadership at any opportunity, not for his own sake, but to better serve his ultimate goal of finding his lost master. Blackout has a sneaky side and uses his symbiotic companion [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s small size to great advantage.<br /> <br /> <br /> :''Working names'': '''Soundwave''', '''Vortex''', '''Incinerator'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===<br /> <br /> While Starscream is hoping not to find Megatron, Blackout is working against him in hopes of restoring the former leader.

Blackout scanned a USAF [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|MH-53 Pavelow]] helicopter, then destroyed the original human craft to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_Raptors.jpg|left|thumb|200px|I will let them order me now so I can shoot them later.]]<br /> <br /> Blackout flew into the airspace of [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] and refused to identify himself, prompting base commander [[Colonel Sharp]] to dispatch two [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]]s to escort the Decepticon into their base. One of the Raptors reported that Blackout had the registry number of 4500X on his vertical stabilizer, the number of the helicopter Blackout had scanned and destroyed three months earlier in Afghanistan.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_SOCCENTAttack1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|All your base are belong to [[Decepticon|us]].]]<br /> <br /> Once landed, Blackout was surrounded by the soldiers stationed at the base and ordered to power down and disembark his crew, or deadly force would be used. Seeing no reason to hide himself any further, Blackout transformed under a hail of automatic weapons fire from the shocked humans. Activating his heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, Blackout made quick work of the soldiers in closest to him, then unleashed a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave that killed the rest of the troops and shattered their vehicles and the windows of the operations control tower. Blackout made his way around the base, tossing tanks aside, crushing soldiers underfoot and blowing up aircraft. Eventually, he reached the operations bunker and tore off the roof to link up with their server and download its files in an attempt to find information on [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Ice Man]]. Unfortunately, the base commander intervened, cutting the physical hard line of the server, severing Blackout's connection and thwarting the primary objective of his mission.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_holoavatar.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Watch me stroke my mustache as I contemplate the destruction of Earth.]]<br /> <br /> Still, Blackout carried out his second objective - the destruction of the human base. As he proceeded, [[Robert Epps|a human soldier]] was nearly crushed. Instinctively, the soldier recorded images of Blackout, the Decepticon indulging this brief moment of curiosity by looking straight back at the human. Blackout then activated a chest-mounted laser cannon to put the fleshling out of its misery, but before he could do so, he was struck by a sabot round fired by [[Jorge Figueroa|another soldier]], and the human made his escape. Enraged, Blackout fired flare countermeasures into the sky to confuse any other attempts to attack him, then ejected Scorponok from his back and sent the minion to track the [[William Lennox|fleeing]] [[Sergeant Donnelly|soldiers]]. Blackout then turned his attention and his weapons back to the rest of the base, eventually destroying it, leaving no survivors.<br /> <br /> Evidently, after the attack, Blackout flew back to the [[United States of America|United States]], as he was in the vicinity when [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported the discovery of All Spark's location and Starscream ordered their forces to move out. Blackout acknowledged the order, then rallied in Megatron's name, perhaps to remind Starscream who his master was.<br /> <br /> Blackout arrived at [[Mission City]] just as the final battle was getting underway. He attempted to block [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]]'s path as the boy was trying to get away with the All Spark before he was warded off by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]], killing him. <br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money.

A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position.

In better days he was always to be found looming powerful and silent behind his leader's right shoulder. When given a target he hunts it down with fierce determination. Blackout is not happy with the progress [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] is making towards finding the missing Decepticon leader. He suspects (quite rightly) that Starscream would prefer Megatron to stay lost. Blackout is openly mutinous and will challenge Starscream's leadership at any opportunity, not for his own sake, but to better serve his ultimate goal of finding his lost master. Blackout has a sneaky side and uses his symbiotic companion [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s small size to great advantage.<br /> <br /> <br /> :''Working names'': '''Soundwave''', '''Vortex''', '''Incinerator'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===<br /> <br /> While Starscream is hoping not to find Megatron, Blackout is working against him in hopes of restoring the former leader. He attacks him but loses.<br /> <br /> ===''Prime Directives'' prequel comic===<br /> <br /> The Decepticon infiltration unit under the command of Starscream arrived on [[Earth]] in the year 2003. Blackout scanned a USAF [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|MH-53 Pavelow]] helicopter, then destroyed the original human craft to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_Raptors.jpg|left|thumb|200px|I will let them order me now so I can shoot them later.]]<br /> <br /> Blackout flew into the airspace of [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] and refused to identify himself, prompting base commander [[Colonel Sharp]] to dispatch two [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]]s to escort the Decepticon into their base. One of the Raptors reported that Blackout had the registry number of 4500X on his vertical stabilizer, the number of the helicopter Blackout had scanned and destroyed three months earlier in Afghanistan.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_SOCCENTAttack1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|All your base are belong to [[Decepticon|us]].]]<br /> <br /> Once landed, Blackout was surrounded by the soldiers stationed at the base and ordered to power down and disembark his crew, or deadly force would be used. Seeing no reason to hide himself any further, Blackout transformed under a hail of automatic weapons fire from the shocked humans. Activating his heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, Blackout made quick work of the soldiers in closest to him, then unleashed a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave that killed the rest of the troops and shattered their vehicles and the windows of the operations control tower. Blackout made his way around the base, tossing tanks aside, crushing soldiers underfoot and blowing up aircraft. Eventually, he reached the operations bunker and tore off the roof to link up with their server and download its files in an attempt to find information on [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Ice Man]]. Unfortunately, the base commander intervened, cutting the physical hard line of the server, severing Blackout's connection and thwarting the primary objective of his mission.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_holoavatar.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Watch me stroke my mustache as I contemplate the destruction of Earth.]]<br /> <br /> Still, Blackout carried out his second objective - the destruction of the human base. As he proceeded, [[Robert Epps|a human soldier]] was nearly crushed. Instinctively, the soldier recorded images of Blackout, the Decepticon indulging this brief moment of curiosity by looking straight back at the human. Blackout then activated a chest-mounted laser cannon to put the fleshling out of its misery, but before he could do so, he was struck by a sabot round fired by [[Jorge Figueroa|another soldier]], and the human made his escape. Enraged, Blackout fired flare countermeasures into the sky to confuse any other attempts to attack him, then ejected Scorponok from his back and sent the minion to track the [[William Lennox|fleeing]] [[Sergeant Donnelly|soldiers]]. Blackout then turned his attention and his weapons back to the rest of the base, eventually destroying it, leaving no survivors.<br /> <br /> Evidently, after the attack, Blackout flew back to the [[United States of America|United States]], as he was in the vicinity when [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported the discovery of All Spark's location and Starscream ordered their forces to move out. Blackout acknowledged the order, then rallied in Megatron's name, perhaps to remind Starscream who his master was.<br /> <br /> Blackout arrived at [[Mission City]] just as the final battle was getting underway. He attempted to block [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]]'s path as the boy was trying to get away with the All Spark before he was warded off by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]], killing him. <br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money. The huge number of Autobot drones backing Ironhide up didn't make things any easier.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-01'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Blackout_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The largest Decepticon in the film. Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure ''ever''.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout was packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|... ''Brown''out?]]<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Titanium Series===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (3&quot; Robot Masters, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This three-inch figurine, as with all Titaniums, is partially made of die-cast metal and plastic, sculpted holding his rotor-blades as a hand weapon. Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing what was rendered in the game. Articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes with a Movie-style Decepticon logo display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque.

Instinctively, the soldier recorded images of Blackout, the Decepticon indulging this brief moment of curiosity by looking straight back at the human. Blackout then activated a chest-mounted laser cannon to put the fleshling out of its misery, but before he could do so, he was struck by a sabot round fired by [[Jorge Figueroa|another soldier]], and the human made his escape. Enraged, Blackout fired flare countermeasures into the sky to confuse any other attempts to attack him, then ejected Scorponok from his back and sent the minion to track the [[William Lennox|fleeing]] [[Sergeant Donnelly|soldiers]].

Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]], killing him. <br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money. The huge number of Autobot drones backing Ironhide up didn't make things any easier.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-01'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Blackout_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The largest Decepticon in the film. Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure ''ever''.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout was packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|... ''Brown''out?]]<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Titanium Series===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (3&quot; Robot Masters, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This three-inch figurine, as with all Titaniums, is partially made of die-cast metal and plastic, sculpted holding his rotor-blades as a hand weapon. Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing what was rendered in the game. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes with a Movie-style Decepticon logo display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque. In the film ''itself'', Blackout's only speaking role has him quickly reporting to Starscream's call... in Cybertronian, with he alone both hailing Megatron upon the All Spark's discovery and attempting to aid him in battle against Prime. What's more, all this &quot;Soundwave-ness&quot; is further inhanced by Hasbro's official bio, calling Blackout &quot;his leader's hound&quot;.<br /> <br /> * Apart from being a helicopter just like Vortex, which was also his original working name, Blackout's ''later'' working name, &quot;Incinerator&quot;, is also accounted for in the same Hasbro bio, noting how Blackout will &quot;fill the air with fire and burn the land clear to take his revenge&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the film, a mere two weeks prior to the unfolding events, appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comics, with him apparently having scanned and destroyed the MH-53 Pave Low all the way back in 2003. It's maaaaybe possible that he just kept on destroying ''different'' Pave Lows over time to maintain his covert status (with the U.S. government covering it up) until he finally realized how close he was to a military network access point... maybe? I dunno. <br /> <br /> * During a transmission from Burger King's website, Optimus Prime has decreed that we are not to ride ''this'' helicopter. The current rideability of ''other'' helicopters the world over is unknown.<br /> [Standby for further updates as they become available]<br /> <br /> == External links==<br /> [[Category: Decepticons]]<br /> [[Category: Movie characters]]<br /> [[Category: Robot Heroes]]<br /> [[Category: Titanium Series]]&lt;div id=&quot;wikia-credits&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</div>

Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]], killing him. <br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money. The huge number of Autobot drones backing Ironhide up didn't make things any easier.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-01'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Blackout_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The largest Decepticon in the film. Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure ''ever''.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout was packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|... ''Brown''out?]]<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Titanium Series===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (3&quot; Robot Masters, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This three-inch figurine, as with all Titaniums, is partially made of die-cast metal and plastic, sculpted holding his rotor-blades as a hand weapon. Interestingly, Blackout has a more unique sculpt to him; the weapon is sculpted as it was briefly seen in the movie, but on the wrong hand. Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing what was rendered in the game. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, head and waist, and he comes with a Movie-style Decepticon logo display base.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Blackout was originally conceived as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], hence his symbiotic relationship with Scorponok, who was originally conceived as [[Ravage]]. Though this obviously changed, his portrayal in the ''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel is rather Soundwave-esque. In the film ''itself'', Blackout's only speaking role has him quickly reporting to Starscream's call... in Cybertronian, with he alone both hailing Megatron upon the All Spark's discovery and attempting to aid him in battle against Prime. What's more, all this &quot;Soundwave-ness&quot; is further inhanced by Hasbro's official bio, calling Blackout &quot;his leader's hound&quot;.<br /> <br /> * Apart from being a helicopter just like Vortex, which was also his original working name, Blackout's ''later'' working name, &quot;Incinerator&quot;, is also accounted for in the same Hasbro bio, noting how Blackout will &quot;fill the air with fire and burn the land clear to take his revenge&quot;.<br /> <br /> * The period of time that Blackout acquired his vehicle mode in the film, a mere two weeks prior to the unfolding events, appears to contradict the origin of his vehicle mode in IDW's ''Prime Directives'' prequel comics, with him apparently having scanned and destroyed the MH-53 Pave Low all the way back in 2003. It's maaaaybe possible that he just kept on destroying ''different'' Pave Lows over time to maintain his covert status (with the U.S. government covering it up) until he finally realized how close he was to a military network access point... maybe? I dunno. <br /> <br /> * During a transmission from Burger King's website, Optimus Prime has decreed that we are not to ride ''this'' helicopter. The current rideability of ''other'' helicopters the world over is unknown.

Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down. Secondly, the gears in the cockpit's (his chest's) Automorphing gimmick can misalign themselves during transformation back in to vehicle mode, enough so that the chest/head section refuses to align with the cockpit halves.<br /> <br /> : An interesting side note is that the two hard points located on Blackout's shoulders, intended to support his abominably large weapon, are actually the same size as the Mini-Con hardpoints on most post-''Armada'' figures. This basically means he is the only Decepticon from the movie continuity who can [[Powerlinx]]. Though, considering how far-removed both continuities are, this is most likely something of an accident, as there is a lack of Powerlinx port details at the base of these hardpoints.<br /> <br /> *'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)<br /> <br /> : This package, based on thier first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout was packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which is currently only available only at Toys &quot;R&quot; Us.<br /> <br /> *'''Blackout''' (Legends, 2007)<br /> <br /> ====Cyber Slammers====<br /> *'''Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> ====Fast Action Battlers====<br /> *'''Gyro Blade Blackout''' (2007)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_FAB_Blackout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|...

Blackout ''himself'' has an altered leg &amp; foot design as well as having the main rotor-blades on his back excluded, matching it up more with the fact that instead of using his tail rotor, he uses his ''main'' rotor as a multi-purpose melee weapon, echoing what was rendered in the game.

<p>67.82.153.240: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Blackout}}<br /> <br /> :''Blackout is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[Image:MovieBlackout_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Hike the ball already!]]<br /> <br /> The massive '''Blackout''' has been described as the &quot;hound&quot; of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. In better days he was always to be found looming powerful and silent behind his leader's right shoulder. When given a target he hunts it down with fierce determination. Blackout is not happy with the progress [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] is making towards finding the missing Decepticon leader. He suspects (quite rightly) that Starscream would prefer Megatron to stay lost. Blackout is openly mutinous and will challenge Starscream's leadership at any opportunity, not for his own sake, but to better serve his ultimate goal of finding his lost master. Blackout has a sneaky side and uses his symbiotic companion [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s small size to great advantage.<br /> <br /> <br /> :''Working names'': '''Soundwave''', '''Vortex''', '''Incinerator'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===<br /> <br /> While Starscream is hoping not to find Megatron, Blackout is working against him in hopes of restoring the former leader. He attacks him but loses.<br /> <br /> ===''Prime Directives'' prequel comic===<br /> <br /> The Decepticon infiltration unit under the command of Starscream arrived on [[Earth]] in the year 2003. Blackout scanned a USAF [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|MH-53 Pavelow]] helicopter, then destroyed the original human craft to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms.<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' (2007) film===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_Raptors.jpg|left|thumb|200px|I will let them order me now so I can shoot them later.]]<br /> <br /> Blackout flew into the airspace of [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] and refused to identify himself, prompting base commander [[Colonel Sharp]] to dispatch two [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]]s to escort the Decepticon into their base. One of the Raptors reported that Blackout had the registry number of 4500X on his vertical stabilizer, the number of the helicopter Blackout had scanned and destroyed three months earlier in Afghanistan.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_SOCCENTAttack1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|All your base are belong to [[Decepticon|us]].]]<br /> <br /> Once landed, Blackout was surrounded by the soldiers stationed at the base and ordered to power down and disembark his crew, or deadly force would be used. Seeing no reason to hide himself any further, Blackout transformed under a hail of automatic weapons fire from the shocked humans. Activating his heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, Blackout made quick work of the soldiers in closest to him, then unleashed a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave that killed the rest of the troops and shattered their vehicles and the windows of the operations control tower. Blackout made his way around the base, tossing tanks aside, crushing soldiers underfoot and blowing up aircraft. Eventually, he reached the operations bunker and tore off the roof to link up with their server and download its files in an attempt to find information on [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Ice Man]]. Unfortunately, the base commander intervened, cutting the physical hard line of the server, severing Blackout's connection and thwarting the primary objective of his mission.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Blackout_holoavatar.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Watch me stroke my mustache as I contemplate the destruction of Earth.]]<br /> <br /> Still, Blackout carried out his second objective - the destruction of the human base. As he proceeded, [[Robert Epps|a human soldier]] was nearly crushed. Instinctively, the soldier recorded images of Blackout, the Decepticon indulging this brief moment of curiosity by looking straight back at the human. Blackout then activated a chest-mounted laser cannon to put the fleshling out of its misery, but before he could do so, he was struck by a sabot round fired by [[Jorge Figueroa|another soldier]], and the human made his escape. Enraged, Blackout fired flare countermeasures into the sky to confuse any other attempts to attack him, then ejected Scorponok from his back and sent the minion to track the [[William Lennox|fleeing]] [[Sergeant Donnelly|soldiers]]. Blackout then turned his attention and his weapons back to the rest of the base, eventually destroying it, leaving no survivors.<br /> <br /> Evidently, after the attack, Blackout flew back to the [[United States of America|United States]], as he was in the vicinity when [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported the discovery of All Spark's location and Starscream ordered their forces to move out. Blackout acknowledged the order, then rallied in Megatron's name, perhaps to remind Starscream who his master was.<br /> <br /> Blackout arrived at [[Mission City]] just as the final battle was getting underway. He attempted to block [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]]'s path as the boy was trying to get away with the All Spark before he was warded off by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Then, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron fought, Blackout went to help his lord by activating his hand-held rotor weapon, but soldiers&amp;mdash;including survivors of the SOCCENT base attack&amp;mdash;attempted to stop him by painting him with targeting lasers for friendly F-22 Raptors to fire upon. Underestimating the fighting spirit and desire for vengeance of the humans, Blackout tried to finish them off until Captain Lennox, using an abandoned motorcycle, charged at him and fired a sabot under his chest armour as F-22s pounded him with missiles, extinguishing his [[spark]], killing him. <br /> <br /> His remains were dumped in the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow dead Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ===''Transformers'' The Game (console)===<br /> Blackout and Scorponok were sent to the SOCCENT Base to destroy the human military installation there and download information from the military servers on the location of the [[AllSpark]]. The pair were successful, though Blackout's escape was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a squad of human jet fighters. After blasting them to tiny bits, he made good his escape.<br /> <br /> Blackout joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at [[Hoover Dam]], and fought off a squad of [[Swindle (Movie)|Autobot sports car drones]] that were defending the installation. He then followed the newly-revived [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to [[Mission City]], where he got engaged in a final showdown with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who certainly gave the massive Decepticon a run for his money. The huge number of Autobot drones backing Ironhide up didn't make things any easier.<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Transformers===<br /> *'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)<br /> :''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-01'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:Movie_Voyager_Blackout_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The largest Decepticon in the film. Ironically, the smallest Voyager-class figure.]]<br /> <br /> : Blackout transforms into a reasonably accurate [[Wikipedia:MH-53 Pave Low|Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter]], though his blue color scheme is quite inaccurate compared to the actual helicopter used in the movie and similar ones in USAF service. An aft &quot;cage&quot; compartment can be opened to release a small PVC figurine of his partner, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. A button on the very end of his tail can be pressed in a geared action to rotate his rotor blades, but this feature really comes into play when the user attaches the Deluxe-class Scorponok figure to the bottom of Blackout's helicopter mode via two pegs. A geared shaft linked to the rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers, though this gimmick is actually easier to activate by rotating the geared wheel on Scorponok's undercarriage.<br /> <br /> : During transformation, Blackout's [[Automorph]]ing gimmick is activated when the user swings down his legs, which in turn flips the gray chest section his head is mounted upon up and into position. Another, less impressive automorph is in his legs - If you pull his knees down, his shin armor pops out a bit.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Blackout is not quite as accurate to his final CGI design as some of the other Movie toys are. Instead, it appears that his design is closer to that of his ''original'' concept art, back when he was called &quot;Incinerator&quot;. Still, as is expected with the mainline movie toys, he features excellent articulation, with multi-ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The entire rotor assembly on his back can be removed and converted into a gigantic fan weapon, to ''vaguely'' represent the hand-held rotor-blade weapon he wields in the film, also seen on the ''Titanium'' figurine (see below). Because of the size of his rotor assembly, Blackout is also much smaller than most Voyager-class figures, barely larger than a Deluxe figure (particularly [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], only about a head taller).<br /> <br /> : There are a couple significant flaws in Blackout's design: Firstly, the pegs that hold the fuselage (his robot legs) to the rotor/tail assembly do not provide enough friction to withstand the weight of the fuselage itself, causing it to detach from the body of the helicopter and droop down.

The beater he and his father take home is actually [[Bumblebee]], an alien robot from the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], who plants Sam down in the middle of a civil war between Bumblebee's benevolent [[Autobot]] comrades and the evil [[Decepticon]]s who threaten the galaxy's peace. Both sides are after the [[All Spark]], a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth 10 thousand years ago. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family's motto, &quot;No sacrifice, no victory.&quot;<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Full synopsis==<br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Prime-Sam-Mikaela-poster.jpg|left|thumb|250px|What [[BotCon]] attendees see when they look at [[Peter Cullen]].]]<br /> <br /> The film begins with the history of Cybertron's destruction at the hands of Megatron, and his quest to obtain the Allspark. Megatron discovers the Allspark on Earth, but crash-lands in the Arctic Circle, becoming frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky and his crew of explorers stumble upon Megatron's body in the late 19th century. Megatron's navigational system is unintentionally activated, and Archibald's eye glasses are imprinted with the coordinates to the Allspark's location. Sector 7, a secret organization of the United States government, discovers the Allspark and builds the Hoover Dam around it to mask the energy signal. The still-frozen Megatron is moved into this facility, and is reverse engineered to further advance human technology.<br /> <br /> In the present day, the rest of the Decepticons — Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Devastator — have already landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles. Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base in Qatar in an effort to use the military database to discover the location of Megatron and the Allspark, but they do not succeed. A small group of survivors from the military base attack wander through the desert and are attacked by Scorponok. The Autonomous Robotic Life Form (shortened to &quot;Autobot&quot;) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the descendant of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo his crush, Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One and discovers that Sam possesses the map that will lead the Decepticons to the Allspark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location.<br /> <br /> Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Archibald's glasses. Bumblebee, who is following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who is also following Sam, is caught in the crossfire, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home to retrieve the glasses. However, agents from Sector 7 arrive to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the agents - to no avail - that he means them no harm.<br /> <br /> Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and releases Megatron from suspended animation. Locating the Allspark, he sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron escapes, and Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the Allspark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now possess the Allspark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle results in casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the Allspark when he rams the cube into Megatron's chest. The remains of the Decepticons are cast into the Laurentian Abyss. With no other home to go to - Cybertron having been destroyed by Megatron - the Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots, while Sam and Mikaela begin a relationship. Starscream, one of the Decepticons that survived the battle, leaves Earth.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> ''&quot;Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from. Only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life; That was how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home, searching every star, every world.

Both sides are after the [[All Spark]], a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth 10 thousand years ago. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family's motto, &quot;No sacrifice, no victory.&quot;<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Full synopsis==<br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Prime-Sam-Mikaela-poster.jpg|left|thumb|250px|What [[BotCon]] attendees see when they look at [[Peter Cullen]].]]<br /> <br /> The film begins with the history of Cybertron's destruction at the hands of Megatron, and his quest to obtain the Allspark. Megatron discovers the Allspark on Earth, but crash-lands in the Arctic Circle, becoming frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky and his crew of explorers stumble upon Megatron's body in the late 19th century. Megatron's navigational system is unintentionally activated, and Archibald's eye glasses are imprinted with the coordinates to the Allspark's location. Sector 7, a secret organization of the United States government, discovers the Allspark and builds the Hoover Dam around it to mask the energy signal. The still-frozen Megatron is moved into this facility, and is reverse engineered to further advance human technology.<br /> <br /> In the present day, the rest of the Decepticons — Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Devastator — have already landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles. Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base in Qatar in an effort to use the military database to discover the location of Megatron and the Allspark, but they do not succeed. A small group of survivors from the military base attack wander through the desert and are attacked by Scorponok. The Autonomous Robotic Life Form (shortened to &quot;Autobot&quot;) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the descendant of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo his crush, Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One and discovers that Sam possesses the map that will lead the Decepticons to the Allspark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location.<br /> <br /> Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Archibald's glasses. Bumblebee, who is following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who is also following Sam, is caught in the crossfire, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home to retrieve the glasses. However, agents from Sector 7 arrive to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the agents - to no avail - that he means them no harm.<br /> <br /> Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and releases Megatron from suspended animation. Locating the Allspark, he sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron escapes, and Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the Allspark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now possess the Allspark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle results in casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the Allspark when he rams the cube into Megatron's chest. The remains of the Decepticons are cast into the Laurentian Abyss. With no other home to go to - Cybertron having been destroyed by Megatron - the Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots, while Sam and Mikaela begin a relationship. Starscream, one of the Decepticons that survived the battle, leaves Earth.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> ''&quot;Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from. Only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life; That was how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home, searching every star, every world. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called... Earth... but we were already too late.&quot;''<br /> :-- '''Optimus Prime's''' opening narration<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Sir, look outside: do you see that man sitting in the green car?

A small group of survivors from the military base attack wander through the desert and are attacked by Scorponok. The Autonomous Robotic Life Form (shortened to &quot;Autobot&quot;) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the descendant of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo his crush, Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One and discovers that Sam possesses the map that will lead the Decepticons to the Allspark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location.<br /> <br /> Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Archibald's glasses. Bumblebee, who is following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who is also following Sam, is caught in the crossfire, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home to retrieve the glasses. However, agents from Sector 7 arrive to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the agents - to no avail - that he means them no harm.<br /> <br /> Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and releases Megatron from suspended animation. Locating the Allspark, he sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron escapes, and Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the Allspark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now possess the Allspark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle results in casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the Allspark when he rams the cube into Megatron's chest. The remains of the Decepticons are cast into the Laurentian Abyss. With no other home to go to - Cybertron having been destroyed by Megatron - the Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots, while Sam and Mikaela begin a relationship. Starscream, one of the Decepticons that survived the battle, leaves Earth.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> ''&quot;Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from. Only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life; That was how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war - a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home, searching every star, every world.

Both sides are after the [[All Spark]], a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth 10 thousand years ago.

Megatron discovers the Allspark on Earth, but crash-lands in the Arctic Circle, becoming frozen in the ice. Captain Archibald Witwicky and his crew of explorers stumble upon Megatron's body in the late 19th century. Megatron's navigational system is unintentionally activated, and Archibald's eye glasses are imprinted with the coordinates to the Allspark's location. Sector 7, a secret organization of the United States government, discovers the Allspark and builds the Hoover Dam around it to mask the energy signal. The still-frozen Megatron is moved into this facility, and is reverse engineered to further advance human technology.<br /> <br /> In the present day, the rest of the Decepticons — Blackout, Scorponok, Frenzy, Barricade, Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Devastator — have already landed on Earth and assumed the disguise of Earth vehicles. Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base in Qatar in an effort to use the military database to discover the location of Megatron and the Allspark, but they do not succeed. A small group of survivors from the military base attack wander through the desert and are attacked by Scorponok. The Autonomous Robotic Life Form (shortened to &quot;Autobot&quot;) known as Bumblebee is also on Earth, disguised as a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and looking for Sam Witwicky, the descendant of Captain Archibald Witwicky. As soon as he locates Sam, the two quickly begin to bond as Bumblebee helps Sam try and woo his crush, Mikaela Banes; Sam is unaware of the fact that Bumblebee is an alien, until he witnesses Bumblebee transform and send out a homing signal for the rest of the Autobots. After Blackout's failure, Frenzy infiltrates Air Force One and discovers that Sam possesses the map that will lead the Decepticons to the Allspark. Frenzy and Barricade begin tracking Sam's location.<br /> <br /> Barricade confronts Sam, demanding Archibald's glasses. Bumblebee, who is following Sam, transforms and battles Barricade. Mikaela, who is also following Sam, is caught in the crossfire, and leaves with Sam and Bumblebee to rendezvous with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots — Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet — land on Earth and take on the forms of several Earth vehicles. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots return to Sam's home to retrieve the glasses. However, agents from Sector 7 arrive to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Bumblebee is also apprehended, against the pleas of Sam who assures the agents - to no avail - that he means them no harm.<br /> <br /> Frenzy secretly accompanies the group to the Hoover Dam, and releases Megatron from suspended animation. Locating the Allspark, he sends out an alert to the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron escapes, and Sam convinces the Sector 7 agents to release Bumblebee so that he can get the Allspark to Optimus Prime. The Decepticons chase the Autobots, who now possess the Allspark, into a neighboring city. An ensuing battle results in casualties for both sides, with Sam destroying Megatron and the Allspark when he rams the cube into Megatron's chest. The remains of the Decepticons are cast into the Laurentian Abyss. With no other home to go to - Cybertron having been destroyed by Megatron - the Autobots decide to stay on Earth, and Optimus sends out a signal across space in an effort to locate any surviving Autobots, while Sam and Mikaela begin a relationship.
