Toys

• Demolishor w/ Blackout (Deluxe, 2002/2003)
  • Japanese ID number: MD-03

Search is a repurposing of Micron Densetsu Search.

Available only with his "bulk" partner Demolishor, Blackout transforms into a six-wheeled APC/anti-aircraft vehicle of possibly made-up model. In this mode, he can be plugged into the gap between Demolishor's vehicle mode treads and launched via spring-loaded trigger. Demolishor's vehicle mode is also specially designed with a seat in the rear that robot mode Blackout can use to "pilot" the Decepticon.

The Takara version, Search, has a slightly different deco, using a "richer" sandy-tan color than the Hasbro version's pale-sand.

Notes

• Search takes his name from the Japanese Micron Densetsu character Search, who was known in English-language markets as Blackout.
