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.

Watch. Wait. Annihilate.

  • Zoom Out 25X (Real Gear Robots, 2007)
Part of the second wave of Transformers Real Gear Robots, Zoom Out 25X transforms into a (non-functional) digital camcorder. He is designed so you can look through his viewfinder and out the camera lens, but the images will be very small and blurry. Still, neat!
His flip-out viewscreen, which becomes a winged backpack in robot mode, has different stickers between the Hasbro and Takara releases. In the Hasbro version, Cybertron Override is on-screen, while the Takara version has an early render of live-action Megatron instead (back when his head design looked more xenomorph-y).


  • Brain Scrambler Team (Multi-pack, 2007)
Zoom Out 25X was also available in a Walmart exclusive two-pack with Power Up VT6. Both toys are identical to their individual releases.

Notes

[edit]
  • The appearance of Override in the Hasbro Zoom Out 25X's image seems to point towards the common running theory that the Real Gear Robots' original release plan was as a late-series additions to the Cybertron toyline.
  • Interestingly, from all the eight Real Gear Robot molds, Zoom Out 25X was the only one that never received a repaint.
