Now for Blackout. Am a little disappointed with this figure as it could have been made much better. Parts don't lock in place securley and it has a flimsy feel to it.
Head sculpt is very well done though.
Blackout's prifile says that he is supposed to be the biggest of all Decepticons (even bigger than Megatron). If this is the case then why did Hasblow put the figure in the Voyager class (Mid range) instead of the Ultra class (Largest figures) ?
For those who don't know. The figure class is:
Ultra (Largest. Upto 20inches tall)
Leader (Large eg Optimus Prime)
Voyager (Mid range)
Deluxe (Entry Level)
Mini Con (Smallest)
Anyway. Pics of Blackout
Spoilers Below
And a bit of movie plot
In the Arctic Circle during the 1800s, Captain Archibald Witwicky falls into an abyss and lands on a robotic hand partially buried in the ice. He finds staring back at him the eyes of Decepticon leader Megatron, who burns a map showing the location of the life giving Allspark into Witwicky's eyeglasses. These are handed down to his descendant, Sam, in the present day. Elsewhere, Decepticon Blackout attacks a United States Air Force base in Qatar in the present day, grabbing and absorbing information from a computer whilst he destroys the base and deploys Scorponok. Scorponok chases Captain Lennox and his Special Ops team in the desert and in a village. Lennox then makes a phone call to The Pentagon, who send a jet to fight off the Decepticon. Sam Witwicky buys his first car, which happens to be the Autobot Bumblebee. Bumblebee helps Sam to gain Mikaela as his girlfriend. The Autobots come looking for Archibald's glasses, whilst hiding in Sam's yard, and the nefarious Sector 7 comes to invade Sam's house. The film eventually concludes with a battle that begins at the Hoover Dam and concludes in Los Angeles as Autobot leader Optimus Prime and Megatron face each other.

Which classic Transformers are you referring to ??
G1 (Including the Takara Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, Zone and Battlestars series) ?
G2 ?
Beast Wars ?
Beast Wars 2 ?
Beast Wars Neo ?
Beast Machines ?
Machine Wars ?
R.I.D ?
Armada ?
Energon ?
Cybertron ?
Just bear in mind that this is a new imaging on the TF verse and don't go for the fanboy way of thinking

Is it already out in Norway?
Posted by carkitter
It's out in NZ; I saw it on Saturday night. Pretty good overall. The CGI shots don't look fake anymore like CGI shots used to. And once Bumblebee becomes a 2008 Camaro, IMO he steals the show. What a way for GM to showcase such a good looking car!
Posted by Rookwise
@axxxr
The movie came out last week in some contries but us in the UK have to wait longer as usual
Posted by axxxr
yeh its such a shame we have to wait till the 27th.
The new trailer is up on the U.K site: www.transformersmovie.com/intl/uk/
Posted by deluded
I've caught the movie last week, CGI is really great, as carkitter has already mentioned. Not gonna say anything else about the movie though, lest I spoil it for you guys.
Posted by axxxr
yes please don't say anything!
Posted by deluded
Oh, did I mention about this scene where... Haha... Nah, just kidding, axxxr. Do catch the movie if you can, it's not bad. Almost all the people around me have caught it. I thought it would be more popular with guys, but a few of my female friends enjoyed the movie too!
Posted by jcwhite_uk
Picked up Barricade today as I was in Tesco (only £7.97)
Also includes a small figure of frenzy.
Posted by Rookwise
@JC
Pull the doors upwards in robot mode matey and also, theres a another part you missed to fold out on the feet so that there looks like 2 spikes on the front of his feet
Just bonecrusher to but for my movie collection and the cast lineup is complete.
Also considering the others which are being released that appear in the movie game and prequel book (Arcee, Payload, Swindle, Dreadwing)

I was so excited to see my country 'Qatar' in the movie, but as usual 'asshole hollywood' makes one of the most modern and developing countries look like a desert.
REAL Qatar
Transformers Qatar
It was actually filmed in NEW MEXICO! Not Qatar at all!
I don't know why I expected them to show my country in good light
