Blackout (combiner)

The name or term "Blackout" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Blackout (disambiguation).

Blackout is a Decepticon from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Blackout is a member of the Destruction Team, five super-energon-powered military vehicles who combine to form the mighty Bruticus Maximus. In life, he was a nonentity, and he remained so in death, only in more pieces.

Blackout's only real distinction is his name, which he shares with numerous other Transformers in several parallel universes, none of whom has ever had any distinction ever. It may be extrapolated that every universe contains a Blackout, differing perhaps widely from all other Blackouts, similar only in name, and total lack of distinction -- and probably in a liking for the Cybertronic equivalent of gin and tonic.

Japanese name: Blast Off

Energon

• Blackout (Basic, 2005)

Team ID number: D3

Blackout shares a mold with his teammate Stormcloud, transforming into an assault helicopter somewhat similar to an Apache. He can also form the arm or leg to any "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the left arm to Bruticus Maximus. He comes with a quintuple-barreled "super energon" cannon that forms a hand or footplate for his limb-modes, plus a blue Decepticon-style energon chip.

• Bruticus (Multi-pack, 2004)

Japanese ID number: SD-21

In Japan, Blackout (aka "Blast Off") was only available as part of a complete set of all five Destruction Team members, never as an individual.
