Back on January 26th I posted a news story on the Automorph Technology. here is the news story.

"Birth of the Hybrid?"

What?

Nice. Its funny, Blackout looks like a Predator and hes being displayed with a Predator. I have that AVP set. Its displayed with my boxed TFS. When are these figures gonna hit stores? or at least Hasbrotoyshop.com?

Its from thr AVP movie. When the predalien is born.

While I'm still not absolutely crazy about the CGI head, I must say that the toy head is much better. I am excited about this character more than any other in the movie. The toy is easily the best in the line. Seriously looking forward to this one.

Just when I thought it'd be a slow toy news day.

Originally the Movie Toyline release date was supose to be June 2nd, but they maybe moving this up a bit. The Protoform sneak peek figures were supose to come out May 2nd, but they seem to be getting released early. So who knows now.

I hope so. Im out of figures to buy and i want the movie ones badly.

This version looks much better than the first one shown a long time ago that had the helicopter blade nearly clipping the ground.

Blackout is Hard Core. Can't wait to see him in action. As a 'new character' his survival potential isn't high, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the big chap.

His survival odds aren't improved by the back set picture of scorched Blackout-parts piled in a corner with other props.

This is my priorty movie toy purchase.

I saw CBs pics of blackout recently and I thought he was a pretty cool movie toy. I just don't like the bot mode or the movie packaging myself

After reading that bio, doesn't it make you think that Blackout was originally Soundwave? Megatron's Hound, standing over his shoulder, with his minion he ejects . . . Hmm. I do remember an OLD rumor that said soundwave was a helecopter. Thoughts?

largest of the decepticons? not in toy form.

MINE! dude, i can't wait for these toys to start hitting shelves. My wal-mart's toy section is gonna be smokin when i'm done tearing it up!

Colour scheme (including yellow around windows). Popout minion. Function and loyalty. Sounds like Soundwave to me.

Yep, I think you hit this one right on the nose! Glad they didn't make him Soundwave though. Hopefully they truly will "do him right" in one of the sequels. Like this toy though! So, if Blackout is the biggest Decepticon, then none of the city-formers or gestalts exist on Cybertron in this continuity?

Thanks, I was kind of wondering about this myself. I still need to watch that movie. -.-

Scorponok mini-figure doesn't transform, huh? I'm sure I've asked before, I'm just curious.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Perhaps they mean biggest one on Earth.

Definitely a must have...But I will be getting the autobots first...Also I agree with wildfire405, he does sound a lot like Soundwave... Only if he "ejected" Frenzy not Scorponok that would be closer to G1 Soundwave.

Nope he doesn't transform, but we know there's a Deluxe Sized Skorponok figure that does transform, so that should make u for it.

In any case, i'm not to fond of Helicopter TF's but this one has got me intrigued.
Although I think he should have been leader class.

He looks like an evac repaint

This or Barricade with be my first.

hmm i was under the impression skorpy was a stand alone char in the movie. Given his size in the movie trailer im not seeing how he is a minion

This figure I look forward to.

He's gonna beat on ALL my CopterBots and hang out with Beast Wars Inferno...

So far he is the Only Con I am considering buying, and even then I am not sure as the Robot mode is ordinary.
His Bio sure sounds similar to G1 Soundwave, and I thought that Bonecrusher and Megatron both would have been bigger than Blackout, but they aint.

I'm agreeing that the profile really does sound like it used to belong to Soundwave - (even that emp/sonic wave ability he has could fit with sound wave - geddit?) - but in that case, i'm wondering what kind of profile they will give Soundwave when he eventually appears in the sequel. Also, with talk of Shockwave appearing, and Megatron's profile seemingly more like ol one eye, we can only guess at what kind of personality shocky will have!!!

You know, the bigger box thing does not work well for me in the aspect of having too much extra space. It is too bad that Hasbro is not going back to the G1 boxes that seemed to actually fit the size of the Transformer inside. Another Transformer comes to mind like this- Classics Optimus Prime. His truck mode was way to small for the box he was in.

Looks like Soundwave has a brother.

Could those in fact be the casualtuies to the airfield he transforms in in the early trailers, I hope?

I love this figure too.
