	: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers Overgear\|Overgear]]'' line, Blackout is a roughly Leader-sized figure that transforms into an advanced attack helicopter of made-up model, with the cockpit seemingly inspired by the Agusta A129 Mangusta. His robot mode is a radical departure from previous incarnations of the character, though the head has some vague similarities with his [[Blackout (Movie)\|live-action counterpart]], and the main rotors, as well as the front of the helicopter, end up in the same place. His front canopy hides a targeting scope that can be extended up in front of his robot mode head. Blackout features extensive paint applications, including various caution/danger markings, a GOA logo behind the cockpit, and a tail code that reads "GOA 07MD01". His robot mode's Decepticon insignias are hidden inside the fuselage in helicopter mode.		: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers Overgear\|Overgear]]'' line, Blackout is a roughly Leader-sized figure that transforms into an advanced attack helicopter of made-up model, with the cockpit seemingly inspired by the Agusta A129 Mangusta.

	:He comes armed with an assault rifle, a pair of missile racks, and a pair of rocket pods. His assault rifle has several ports that can be used to modify the weapon with various accessories from the line. Despite his tail rotor being removable, its post is unfortunately not the right size to recreate his live-action counterpart's arm-mounted blade weapon.		:He comes armed with an assault rifle, a pair of missile racks, and a pair of rocket pods.
