| This article is about the super powerful artifacts from PD Type. For the Unicron related energy sphere from Beast Wars Neo, see Black Ball. |
- The Blackballs are mysterious objects from the PDTF Comic portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Blackballs (ブラックボール Burakkubōru) are a mysterious and apparently super powerful energy source that, if possessed by evil-doers, could obliterate all life as we know it. So naturally, the Decepticons want to get their hands on them.
Fiction
PDTF Comic
Having discovered the power of the Blackballs, several Decepticon leaders and headliners from multiple eras joined forces to hunt them down and use their might to conquer the Universe. Multiple Autobot leaders and headliners from across the timestream also teamed up to try and keep them out of enemy hands.
Since the Blackballs look almost identical to cartoon explosives, the Autobots repeatedly used the tactic of disguising explosive decoys to dishearten/maim their opposition. Starscream seemed to be at the epicenter of each exploding Blackball ruse.
Galvatron eventually managed to collect all of the Blackballs and used them to fashion a necklace similar to the bead necklaces worn by Buddhist monks (oh sweet irony). Galvatron swiftly lost his collection of Blackballs after being knocked out by Ultra Magnus's severed head. PDTF Comic
Legends comic
The Blackballs were miniature black holes that manifested within various Autobots and Decepticons when Scorponok chucked a bunch of explosives into a nearby giant black hole and blew it up. They slowly shrunk the Transformers' bodies by absorbing their matter, threatening to ultimately collapse in on themselves and take the victims with them. There was no way to stop the process, but since heads weren't affected and Headmasters could disconnect from their bodies, all non-Headmasters were converted into Headmasters and escaped certain doom at the cost of losing their bodies.
