Released to coincide with the Transformers film in 2007 The Transformers video and comic games expanded to the Transformers action movie toys.
Hasbro has been manufacturing and selling them all over the world with a few exceptions in China and Japan.
The masterly character reimaging done in the Transformer movies took many who had grown with these characters by surprise. Of special concern were the characterizations of the Decepticons.
Out of all the characters the most easily recognizable were the Autobots. One of the lesser-known characters that were featured was Blackout.
It became the first character that was visible on the movie screen and seen as a huge figure. One of the now famous Transformer action toys is the Blackout.
All Transformer toys must be commended for their design ingenuity. However since the movies have become increasingly complex there has had to be some simplification of the Toys when compared to the movie action figures.
In comparison to the Voyager class figures the Blackout is big and comes boxed in a package with window display and is very detailed even with the design limitations described earlier.
The Transformer Blackout Toy looks closer to the movie character when in Helicopter mode. The manufacturers have also tried their utmost to make sure that the robot is not very different to the CG model.
When it comes to action figures the outcome of all the hard work is appreciable.
Blackout transforms with ease and has a small Scorponok miniature, which is stored in the Blackout when in vehicular mode.
A miniature of the blackout figure was also released alongside the standard sized.
Standing at a height of three inches it consists of only limited features with a simpler cycle of transformation.
Transformer Blackout figures on the Voyager Class have the ability for the helicopter blades to be removed and to be attached to Blackout’s arm forming a weapon just like in the movie.
The Blackout action Toy described is a great example of the kind of Transformer action toys and their differences from what is seen in the movies.
One country where the Transformer action toys have been having a heyday is China.
Actoys, which is a Chinese toy board, has come up with a Dark of the Moon Megatron look.
What is evidenced in the package shots is the detachable blaster being showed off by the deception leader.
There are other exciting sightings of Transformer Action toys being spotted within the United States itself.
A range of Motorcycles of the Transformer stealth force has been marketed in the state of Ohio.
It might be a market trial but this range appears priced lower than the regular basic series but has simpler designs as well.
What is refreshingly new is that this range features two new characters High Wire and Knock out.
