A favored tool of [[Decepticon]] enforcers, the '''Strategos War Rifle''' is a powerful ballistic assault rifle chambered for 105mm armor-piercing shells. The Strategos War Rifle featured a top-mounted rail integration system, and was highly modular. Its scope can be synced up to other targeting systems, allowing for precision long-range sniping, even when wielded in one hand.

'''Blackout''' is one of the [[Decepticon#Overgear|Decepticons]] hiding within the [[Global Order Authority]], transforming into one of their helicopters, he acts as [[Air Commander|Airborne Commander]] for Decepticon operations on [[Earth]]. Blackout's cool and calculated methods contribute to his impressively high mission success rate, so high, in fact, that almost no one has encountered Blackout and lived to tell the tale. His wing-mounted armory comes equipped with missiles for every kind of target, and his back-mounted radar gives him a tactical advantage over the battlefield, which, combined with his high-powered scope, allows him to pick off targets from a distance with his powerful armor-piercing War Rifle.

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers Overgear|Overgear]]'' line, Blackout is a roughly Voyager-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. He comes armed with an assault rifle, a pair of missile racks, and a pair of rocket pods. Despite his tail rotor being removable, it's post is unfortunately not the right size to recreate his live-action counterpart's arm-mounted blade weapon.
