    Blackout Leader Class HELL NO. He's been dead since 2007. Grindor, his clone, however... maybe.

    If the TFW Mods merged every "Blackout Leader Class" thread, it would seriously take up the whole front page of the Toy forum.

    The chances of a Leader class Blackout toy died out a long time ago. And it pains me to proclaim the prospect dead, and I would love a Leader Class Blackout, but it just...ain't...gonna...happen.

    Let it go, peoples. Let it go. I'm sure there's plenty other TF prospects to talk about, that, you know, have more than a 5% chance of happening.

    We shall NEVER LET IT GO!!!

    Brawl DIED in the first Film yet HE got a leader class!! And didnt show up for the second film????
    Yet Blackout has been a HUUUUGE part of BOTH films and A key player in the TF movieverse. So No there is NOOOOOOO excuse why this Guy doesnt have a Leader class already.

    This is a toy company that sells what??? TOYS...Sooo how about making a cool toy out of the RENDER you just paid ILM to do for you and for Michael Bay to direct??? Not a bad idear!!! Instead of (lord knows i love them though) making 7 different versions of BB! Nuff said

    Will I buy it if it was in scale and they wanted 54.99 for it, then yes id buy 2 if the made a repaint of GRINDOR so I can complete my forest fight scene

    Will they make it, wait not;)

    I think it would have to be when Arcee asks "How many scorpions do you NEED?" and Blackout replies "ALL OF THEM!"

    Sorry that's how I read it. Of course it makes sense as that scene does take place after Blackout's wonderful monologue while splitting a pu pu platter with Starscream. ;)

    This coulda all been fixed (IMO) if they had released BO as an Ultra.
    a few bucks more in price, not too expensive and i wouldn't have felt so robbed by falsehoods on the packaging.

    The only problem is there is no ultra size class for the movie main line.

    I hope they use part of his epic soliloquy for his voice chip!

    I'll get 1X Robot mode, 1X Helicopter mode and 1X sealed with his voice actor's autograph. :D

    ROTF PRIME is Masterpiece, It looks like the new leader STARSCREAM is a Masterpiece, And this Fan made Version should pose as a great model for Hasbro! Oh yeah go for it!! lol

    They didn't give us a Leader Blackout because they didn't want to. So deal with it.

    Time to shoot down reasons

    Blackout's big scene was him, alone, wrecking a human military base. In the final battle, he threatened random cars and then got slammed by F22s and a guy on a motorcycle. Meanwhile, Brawl was a centerpiece to the final battle, taking on four out of five Autobots, the human army, and still got up to fight more. This is a much more impressive thing for a child to want.
    Blackout, despite what the packaging says, was not the biggest Decepticon. In scale charts that have been posted here, the top of his "kibble" behind his head is level with the top of Starscream's head. As such, there's already an in scale Blackout: He's just in scale with Voyagers. Voyager Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, and Deluxe Brawl and Bonecrusher are all in proper scale with each other as far as height goes. Bonecrusher's complete -lack- of screen time means his figure is as big as it needs to be. You want in scale autobots to fight em? Better start collecting Legends and Robot Replicas.

    I think a leader class Frenzy would be more appropriate, Of all the Cons in the first movie, he accomplished the most.

    IMO..
    I would like them to make a Leader Class Blackout.:) 

    only, because i want a Leader Class EVAC.:D :thumb 


    And while i am dreaming here...
    They can fix up that Life Boat Gimmick on "EVAC", As well, as make "Scorponok" deployable from, where and the way he is suppose to be deployed on "Blackout" while they are at it.

    As, i don't really like how having those "Function" affects the appearance of both Vehicle Modes.:thumbdown 

    yes, again i am :crazy: .:wink: :lol
