	'''Blackout''' is a free spirit to his core and doesn't believe in doing ''anything'' that compromises who he is inside. The only reason this independent streak doesn't get him in ''major'' trouble with his Decepticon masters is that "who he is inside" craves action more than anything else, and the 'Cons provide that in spades. Still, even with the opportunity to bust some heads, he's not sold on the Decepticon agenda and is not shy about saying so, no matter the punishment. This spirited tendency towards dissent and free thought often puts him at odds with his frequent partner, the loyal lackey [[Demolishor (Armada)\|Demolishor]]. The two spend a lot of time in arguments to convince each other of their respective viewpoints.
