| This article is about the movie Decepticon. For the Beast Wars: Uprising Decepticon, see Zoom Out. |
- Zoom Out 25X is a Decepticon Real Gear Robot from the Transformers portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Zoom Out 25X is just waiting for you to mess up. One of many small robots who was once a normal machine brought to life by the power of the AllSpark, he sits inconspicuously in camera mode, lens trained on his target, recording. Recording. Waiting. And once he's seen something that could even remotely be construed as incriminating, he edits the footage to make it look even worse for his victim.
And all because he thinks it's funny.
