    I'm tempted to get him, but I still hope for a Leader version.

    We should all boycott this mold so that Hasbro has to make a leader class mold in order to make money on Blackout/Grindor. I'm not buying this. With the economy in the shitter, it's not even practical for me to get it.

    Yeah, but if the mold doesn't sell as a voyager, why would Hasbro take the risk on a Leader?

    The mold wouldn't sell as a voyager because of the boycott for a new leader blackout. With all the money they would save on crappy repaints they could engineer new figures.

    or conversely, with all the money they make on crappy repaints, they could engineer more new figures.

    This is unrealistic.

    This is reality.


    I passed on the FAB Blackout mold before, but I like this one just for the extra deco items. Picking up both of these it looks like.

    I hate this mold as much as I love the on-screen character..I never get why people like the Blackout mold so much, it's horrible in my opinion. :( 

    Do not want.

    we need a Leader Blackout period, or Grindor considering the new name. Too many repaints makes the mold boring & lame.

    Scale issues aside as well as the inevitable wearing down of the shoulder pins, the blackout voyager mold is the better one between he and starscream. Starscream just fit underneath the quasi-F-22 lookalike. Blackout looked good in his alt mode and half descent in his robot mode. I think it would be a good thing to see a leader version of him, and depending on the popularity, considering Starscream's leader fig coming out beginning of next year; we might just get a really fantastic blackout mold. Especially if the trend for the sequel follows the the second film's repaint affair :p

    And so did movie 1 Blackut. I only saw him in stores once, and only one of him. I picked that mold up. I saw Evac once, and only one of him, and didn't pick him up. I saw Incinerator once, and only one of him, and didn't pick him up. I saw Animated Megatron once, and only one of him. I picked him up.

    See what I'm saying? Helecopter transformers sell well. They'll get money off Grondor, and I only see him once. I'll pick up Grindor, because I live the Blackout mold, and he's in the game. I'll get Whirl and Bludgeon, because I love the Blackout and Wreckage molds, and need some cannon fodder. :) 

    However, I will stiil hope for a leader Blackout. I don't want a leader Starscream. He has an awesome voyager.

    WHY WON'T HASBRO GIVE US THE GODDANMED LEADER BLACKOUT!!!
