	When the [[Vehicon (BM)\|Vehicon]]s went wild, Black-Out's micro-EMP generator proved highly advantageous in clearing a path through the drones. Eject made peace with [[Lio Convoy]] to coordinate an attack on the [[Grand Mal]], the control center for the Vehicons. The Mal was operational again, however, and its eye laser damaged Black-Out's flight systems. Eject manned the controls and managed to auger in through the very eye that shot them down. Lio Convoy and his crew escaped the crash, but Eject and Black-Out were consumed by the secondary explosions once they hit the inside of the battle station. {{storylink\|Derailment}}		When the [[Vehicon (BM)\|Vehicon]]s went wild, Black-Out's micro-EMP generator proved highly advantageous in clearing a path through the drones.

The 2019 IDW comics take this a step further, basing Blackout's design directly off of the ''Animated'' character.
