#Masterpiece #Blackout #MPM
That has to be the cleanest Transformers alt mode I've ever seen. You can display him on a shelf and people would just think you're into scale models of military vehicles.
same with MPM Barricade. Put him with some other police vehicles, can’t even tell.
To anybody who already has the KO upscale and doesn’t want to part with it after getting this thing… call it Grindor, boom, different characters.
That's really smart HAHAHAHHAA
Grindor and blackout are not different characters
@@Corithans, Two different names, different sizes, both fucking died in their respective movie.
Blackout got revived to become Grindor
@@marialopez-ql9ec, That’s just speculation. It has never been hinted at in the movies, comics or stated during interviews with the creators. It’s a theory.
I don’t know about y’all but I love the way the main rotor comes together in vehicle mode. I always appreciate the weapons being involved in the vehicle mode. I’d rather that over a gun on the roof of a car mode or something like that tbh.
agree
yea I just had mine come in this morning and while figuring out the transformation on my own coming across that was awesome
@@Steve23415 I can just imagine how satisfying it must feel tabbing the blades together lol
@@emgo316 dude you should make videos where it's your first time transforming it so I can see you getting tortured
@@emgo316 I mean struggle hmm hmm
The 2 hinged blades are done that way, just to confuse you, that was the sole reasoning for it.
I think so too lol
I belive they had to do that for moulding purposes, they most likely didn't have enough space to make the whole blade on one mould
I think the two blades fold in to make it look like the tail rotor, since that end up inside the robot mode.
Jokes aside, I legitimately think the hinges are just there so that the weapon can fit in the box (the weapon comes packed in a paper bag with the accessories taped to the side of the box, so the weapon cannot be wider than the side/depth of the box).
@@emgo316 love you man, love your work you inspired me to buy transformers and I still am I have two transformers you don’t have 1 being studio series bumblebee movie deluxe class Wheel-jack and 2 being studio series bumblebee movie deluxe class Arcee
At first I thought, he looked exactly the same as SS blackout, just bigger. But he’s super detailed, there’s enough new parts and a different transformation the change my mind
It's definitely an elaboration on the Studio Series but I'd say that's more a compliment to how impressive that leader class toy was!
@@S0larisPrime agreed, don't fix what isn't broken right
@@Cydra39 i still think Hasbro decided to hear the fans and thought "hey, what did we get kudos for and where did people say could be better with the studio series one?" And that's how we got this guy
@@rickcs7050 agreed I'm talking more about keeping the same base instead of starting from scratch
Hasbro: Happy 15th Anniversary Blackout!
Blackout: What you get me?
H: A Masterpiece figure,
B: uh huh?
H: that retcons an explanation for that rotor error you always complain about,
B: hmmm!
H: and has the cleanest underside of any figure ever.
B: O_O
H: *shows him the figure*
B: You guys are officially on my "Do *NOT* kill" list! Thank you. *faints*
What was the “rotor error”?
@@murilog.p.1383 Original 2007 Blackout Voyager-class figure had the ENTIRE helicopter rotor + tail assembly hanging from his back. It was just an enormous amount of kibble. Designers probably knew it looked trash, so the figure came with a large square peg that would detach the rotor assembly from his back, for him to hold it as his blade weapon, and it also had a plunger in the tail to make the rotor rotate. But the immense amount of kibble just makes the figure just ugly to look at. Not to mention his legs weren't accurate at all to the movie. And just for shits and giggles, Hasbro took the same bad design and used it for Grindor, Evac and Whirl
Fr
@@choppergunner8650 SS Blackout suffers from this as well, but to a lesser extent.
The “get out of my way please” to the blades had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the first 07 film, they had 60% of the combaticons. I like to imagine that was the original plan. They had a tank, a helicopter, a military truck, the cop car could have been a jeep, all they needed was a space shuttle.
Huh, I never thought about it that way!
After having the figure for a few days, I can confirm it’s the best MPM so far. It’s arguably one of the top 5 movieverse figures of all time. I love it, they did such a good job
MPM-5 Barricade is a close second for me, with my only real complaint with that figure being the same complaint I've had with pretty much every Barricade figure that uses the 2007 movie design, that being his weapon. Seriously Hasbro, how hard is it to stick a bendy wire on MPM Barricade's weapon so he can have his flail back?
@@thehighwayman3122 Barricade is tied with Starscream for second place for me. All three are excellent figures. I think Blackout has the best engineering, to achieve both modes looking spot on; Starscream’s F-22 objectively looks inaccurate underneath (though I personally don’t mind)
I'm no Bayverse collector but this is super badass! I think blackout was the first on-screen transformer. It made me realize how scary Transformers would be in real life. They would suck!
I know this is funny coming from me, but the Decepticons would flatten you.
Or at least the normal universe ones would.
@@TheRisingStorm316 That's why they're the best faction
@@catholicpatriotusa1507 Exactly
I got super lucky with this figure. Grew up with bay film transformers and fell in love with blackout from that first transformation in 07. Couldn’t get this figure when I was much younger and still couldn’t afford it when they released it like this lol. Needless to say I got lucky and it went on insane clearance at my target. Scored it for $45!! Inner child healed:)
GG my man 😎
Wow people would kill for that price now
Oh boy, it's Masterpiece Blackout! OH... MY... G O D, he's better than I expected from the promo shots! And holy guacamole, the underside of his MH-53 Pave Low mode is one of the cleanest kibble management I've ever seen in an alternate mode. Overall, definitely a lovely figure IMO
I think the two folding blades are to make packing the accessory into the box easier. Mine came wrapped up in a paper packet with the blades folded in a way to make it fit into the box easier.
Incredible sculpt and scale for this guy. My main gripe is the paint scheme. I prefer darker, more gunmetal coloring for better film accuracy. This bright color on their Studio Series and MPM I'm not fond of. KO's will likely give that alternate paint job I'm looking for. Apart from that, excellent piece!
I’m so excited to see the KO versions paint deco and how they might fix some things. And I hope if they do an MPM Grindor that they actually do the accurate helicopter and give him 7 blades like the CH-53 helicopters have
Is in scale with the others 1/35 but with Barricade and others 1/28 doesn't work like with all. Also is shoulder pieces in robot are too small
I have this guy, and he’s actually a lot darker in person than he looks on camera! I think you’d like him!
I think he only looks bright because of emgo’s lighting because I’ve seen photos of him and he looks darker in comparison
Always good to see a notification from our Transformers uncle
I'm not your uncle. I'm your daddy lol
@@emgo316 Wha?(๑•﹏•)
@@emgo316 😂😂
Been thinking a lot on whatever 3rd parties could really change on MPM13 without making the transformation worse, and the only thing I could really think of is making the chest cannon have a larger mold
3rd parties always find a way to upgrade mpm toys.
@@maxcanonstunner6532 that's the minimum expectation tbh, if you ko a figure and can't make any improvements, that's terrible
@@nostalgicdouchebag1912 well there's some companies who can improvements though.
@@maxcanonstunner6532 the only one that did any good was Blackapple WJ but after their extinction, there's really no ko company that does good improvements
@@nostalgicdouchebag1912 don't be so sure of that though. The companies will always find a way to do improvements in one way or another. But who knows?
I've never been a Bay-fan and haven't really been interested in investing into this line, but this looks to be an excellent figure. The temptation is real.
its no different from the studio series one just buy that one to save a few hundred
That’s a very bad idea especially if u don’t have to others haha (ur wallet will hate u)
@@ProtoXenoGen This thing makes the SS look like a baby toy for babies. The size and mass difference is huge. I think Blackout is heavier than MPM Megs but I cannot say for sure without weighing them. The paint apps are incredible.
@@ProtoXenoGen no different ? get your eyes checked lmfao
@@ProtoXenoGen Well you’re wrong about two things
1: this figure is very different from the studio series, especially where joints and the vehicle mode are concerned
2: It would actually be cheaper to buy this figure because the original studio series is selling for a ridiculous price now
I think the coolest points r the helicopter blades that click into eachother. Such a sick looking idea. Wish with the tail rotors they could’ve done something similar after u twist them into place
When I first saw him I thought he looked trash but now he looks dope asf. Gonna wait to see if a better painted ko is released.
Eventually it will get its ko
If they’re gonna KO it, personally I’d love if they upscaled it like other companies do
The slight panic in emgos voice when blackout rolls just a little too well 🤣🤣🤣 this figure is way better in person and fir me has the funnest transformation
The two blades where on hinges for storage to make it fit into the rectangular packaging better I think
my guess for the moving rotor blades in the hand-held weapon is to save space in the molding process. That way you could optimize space in the molding with putting the 4 blades all near together, rather than doing a single big, circular piece.
Can't wait to see Takara make Brawl and Bonecrusher
I hope we get one of them next, but I have feeling it might be an Autobot.
@@monte_2000 it's starscream!(again)
No, it's gonna be dead Optimus from RotF
hoping for ROTF Megatron
Scorpinok's happy sound made my day. Well done sir.
thank you for this review, now i finally decided that i'm going to buy this, the best mpm to this date!.
I am fairly in love with this mpm! When I first saw it, I thought it was gonna be a slight remold of the studio series, but oh boy was I wrong! This figure is so awesome!
The buzzsaw blades being made partially and not completely out of the main rotor blades is a nice lil compromise for the movie model just scaling down the rotors
I just wish he was a little taller and hope we don’t get yellowing like we got from Wei Jiang 3yrs down the road. He looks awesome!
I am actually impressed with this figure, especially how the two rotors combine in vehicle form. Talk about engineering.
Man back when I collected studio series he was one of my favorites that I had. This looks awesome.
Baracade: "Why Does he Smell Like asparagus?"
Blackout: "Ah, he's probably peeing on you"
I laughed way harder than i should have.
if i had to guess, I'd say the positional rotor blades are so you can place his helecopter form on a narrow shelf by folding a blade away from where it would hit the wall.
The masterpiece and review I’ve been waiting for!! LETS GOOOOO
Amazing review as always he looks fricking amazing and I'm excited to see how Hasbro pulls off Brawl in the MPM line
"...he love his uncle Barry..." Like a facehugger loves its host.
Scorponok's happy voice. 31:33
Barricade idk why much he is paying him.
This Is the best transformer I have bought in long time. LOVE IT. Also this is the first time I've not seen you mention the weapon storage for the guns on his legs.
didn't know about it. good to know.
@@emgo316 Ah fair enough. Another kool little detail someone else noticed, the mini guns are molded in as details on the sides of the arm like its shown in the movie before they are deployed. cool little detail.
Barricade: Why does it smell like asparagus!?
Blackout: He's probably peeing on you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hasbro/takara really nailed this one. One of the nicest in the line.
The chest cannon is actually a camera that blackout adapted from Epps’s camera, if you rewatch that scene where blackout destroys the military base you’ll know what I’m talking about
I really hope they make MPM Brawl and Bonecrusher one day.
Those two have amazing potential!
one down one to go
Just got mine today, came with only 1 inside heel, thanks hasbro. Gotta love getting defective toys!!!!!! Can’t transform it!!!!
I just bought my copy of this figure, my first official masterpiece figure I’m so excited!
I love the masterpiece videos they’re just so fun to watch
The very bane of any blackout transformation into either mode.......damn rotor blades!
They need their own segment.....like the bloosh....it should be ROTORS!!!ARGGH
0:59 there's a piece of cat hair that flies off his right shoulder (our left)
I got him at Target yesterday! He’s my favorite MPM figure so far!
FINALLY
been waiting on this guy ever since MP came to the bayverse
The reason that the rotor weapon has two joints only is for packaging purposes. In the instructions, it actually explains to attach the blades onto the weapon. So it looks like they had originally planned to package them apart, but didn’t
I mentioned the instructions part
few minutes ago, I searched wheather emgo reviewed this thing or not. Then 5 minutes later, he uploaded this.
The whole figure comes together quite nice-like, I would buy it
Apparently if you blow on the blades while it spins, it’d make helicopter noises.
Definitely my targets neve has master pice toys it’s only in my local jb hi fi
Well it took like 5 molds, but Blackout finally has hands.
10:22 i actually did realized you switch the head of blackout you use the grindor head for it cause I remember the grindor video it seems that the hand transplant didn’t work out
This video convinced me, I have to get this figure. Good on you Emgo
I want this guy far more than I do the Studio Series version of the toy.
I sure hope we get a master piece bonecrusher next since it appears they’re creating the entire TF1 cast
He’s definitely going to be an experience. But to be fair have MP-36+ Chromepocalypse and MP-49, but he will be my first Movie Masterpiece figure
Can't find your Studio Series Scorponok, you should check the inside of your shoes that's where he's hiding. 🦂
probably
All we need is brawl and bonecrusher ^^
Transforming all those figures for comparison is commitment.
hmm this actually convinced me to stick with my studio series version after seeing them side by side
It's the best MPM in me opinion
That upscaled SS figure would work great for Grindor until they retool this guy to make an official one. They might even pull a Tigatron on us again considering how much bigger Grindor is than Blackout?
I love it...could give it a Lil weathering and nobody would know its a transformer
I got mine a couple of days ago. Easily the best MPM figure and likely the best figure I have gotten this year.
I walked to my mailbox today and finally got this figure; I'm very happy!
Action figure is cool just like the movie and I like it 👍
I know the engineering is probably impossible,but I always wanted a Blackout figure that A. Incorporates Scorponok into the Helicopter mode like Primus and Michael Bay's design team intended, and B. Launches Scorponok out of Blackout's backout (see what I did there) like in the movie. Regardless this is an excellent figure and Emgo is the host with the most as always.
That alien vibe, you are the most creative!
none of my plastic on my hide shadow has discolored at all. He's kept in a detolf in my man cave which is in my basement. There's no windows so there's no sunlight. I wonder why so many peoples discolor like that?
My hide shadow has never been touched by sunlight and it still discolored. You're just lucky I guess.
Not sure.... Mine is also still perfect. Not sure what amount of time should pass before discoloring.... I've got mine for quite some time now
I am missing this one for my masterpiece collection , he is the next. I wonder who is coming next : Brawl or Bone Crusher ? What do you guys think?
Blackout has had a fiddly transformation in every iteration 🤣
I really thought my weijiang blackout was going to be my definitive blackout but he might get relegated to being grindor now, that blade integration is genius, and I like the machine guns. That scorponok is definitely an upscaled diecast version of the studio series one which really says a lot about how good the studio series is
This is so much nicer than studio series always had a problem with the pieces connecting around the engine I did get this figure
The decepticon mpms have been home runs after home runs so really happy with that
Both SS Blackout and Grindor in vehicle mode next to each other while MP Blackout in robot mode in the middle
I'm surprised that your weijiang blackout is still grey, albeit it's already showing signs of discoloration. Mine already looks like he's rusted, so i just put him on my ss shelf and call him grindor
The mini helicopter bladed head peice on mine was veey stubborn to turn
The masterpiece blackout looks amazing. Reminds me a lot of the SS Blackout just with better detail and a few extra steps to transform. Still a great figure.
The 4th party repaint will be awesome.
This isn’t actually Blackout - this figure is Grindor from ROTF.
They have the same robot mode but different vehicle modes. This vehicle is a Sikorsky ch 53e Super Stallion, which was Grindor’s alt mode! Small detail which is a funny misconception actually but awesome video anyways👍🔥
Box says blackout, I’m calling him blackout, but you can call him what you wish
I'm just curious, at this scale, what is there to distinguish between an MH-53 and CH-53e on this particular toy? I'm not an expert, but comparing the two this appears to be a Pave Low to me. A CH-53e has that skewed tail rotor, and the MH-53 has it on the vertical fin like this does. Otherwise they appear identical, although it would appear that CH-53e would be a bit larger (11 feet longer and a couple feet difference from rotor to wheel high?)
Damn! This thing looks good
It may have been 15 years since, but who mistook Scorponok launching out of Blackout as a skydiving human for some reason? That took me quite a long time to learn it was actually Scorponok, especially since I did not know it had a name back then.
To me it just looks like an upscale version of studio series blackout.
Yeah, to be fair that’s kinda expected considering just how accurate the studio series figure really was. The MPM version makes me like the studio series one even more retroactively.
Sure
Uncle Barry 😄
I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to Blackout…I will take your face…in this life or the next…I’m coming for you…
You sure you aren't talking his cousin grindor
I remember seeing this figure from the live review 3 days ago i remember you showing us this toy and you said that he looks delicious! 🤣 and he does he really looks so awesome 🤣 !
BLACKOUT! i LOVE blackout
also i was wondering if you were going to review the new overide toy when its released
Hey that's me!
Imagine Unique toys made a version of this iconic transformer
Or
Hope for Toy world made a complex transformation of blackout/grindor
The WJ one works kind of well as a grindor stand in haha
I think the one complaint I have is the arms seem too long for the body
can't wait for a black mamba ko version of it rip currency conversion :(
Yes i was excited when i saw the short
26:50 I winced
Good thing the blades are flexible, but still
I would like a Studio Series core class Scorponok, maybe coming with weapons for Blackout.
I just got this at Target for half off MSRP. Nice figure.
That was funny when you spun blackout his helicopter blades stayed in place
Too I saw this at my local 99 cent store😮
