Blackout is apparently quite loyal to Megatron and he's not happy with the progress Starscream is making towards finding the missing Decepticon leader. He suspects (quite rightly) that Starscream would prefer Megatron to stay lost. Blackout is openly mutinous and will challenge Starscream's leadership at any opportunity. Blackout has a sneeky side and uses his symbiotic companion Scorponok's small size to great advantage.
