Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-13 BLACKOUT & SCORPONOK Review 

The weapon storage for the spinning blade is mind blowing, this is what I call a transformers: the weapon transforms with the robot in the vehicle mode

Ok the fact that he has a waist swivel is amazing. Didn’t think they would manage to add one tbh. And the detail on the hands is insane.

Blackout had by far one of the coolest designs in the Bayverse, wish they did more with his character

I remember how insanely powerful Blackout was in the Transformers The Game from 2007. Having a figure that does his character justice is a childhood dream come true.

The fact that his transformation creates a near perfect helicopter with undercarrage and everything, without being a super panely mess of a transformation, is astounding and should be commended.

I NEED THIS!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱 I have waited 15 years for a proper Blackout figure!!! And this looks like the wait was SO WORTH IT!!!!

THIS VERSION OF BLACKOUT IS WHY MORE detailed and has a lot of accessories

Honestly might be the BEST MPM yet!! Both modes look amazing, no major QC issues, great paint, I think starscream has been dethroned as the best MPM

Idk if Transformers was micheal bays debut or not, but man was that movie incredible. The cgi was so ahead of its time, hearing and seeing the vehicles transform and become cybernetic badass robots as a kid is still in my head haha. Still stands to be one of my most favorite movies of all time. Slowly seeing toys develop and make the characters I know and love was really great, and this is such a nostalgic figure for me, amazing representation of the first deception we see in that awesome movie. Really hoping Rise Of The Beasts is good, i think I speak for all of us when I say I'm gonna be so upset if it's disappointing.

The fact that this took a lot of inspiration from the Studio Series figure proves how great of a mold SS Blackout/Grindor was. Fantastic.

Damn, this is awesome. The masterpiece line has been pretty inconsistent since it's inception but this is for sure one of the stronger entries. The accuracy of the robot mode is definitely an upgrade over the studio series, eliminating a lot of the kibble. The articulation has been improved too. Impressively, the underbelly of the vehicle mode fills out completely, which is so rare to see with transformers but as a result it looks great from all angles. The transformation itself while having a lot of moving parts isn't over-engineered, and looks like a smooth and fun experience. I haven't bought any of the other mpm's besides starscream, but this one is a winner! Let's hope they can keep up the high quality releases for brawl and bonercrusher, and close the 07 movie bot chapter on a high note.

looks amazing, many similarities in the transformation but yes, it looks way better as the Studio Series and the transformation looks more refined and less flimsy. some day I want this guy, still like the Studio series Version

1:44 that's because this was originally gonna be soundwave and scoponok was supposed be ravage but fans didn't like the idea of Soundwave turning into a helicopter so they renamed him blackout and replace ravage with scoponok

About his scaling with Megatron; Blackout is 33 feet tall, and Megatron at 34, only one foot taller. However in the movie Blackout appears to be a full 40 feet tall! He towered over Optimus & Megatron!

Okay. It actually looks way better here than the promotional photos. In which rarely (if not never) do their figures any justice.

"Look like this!" vs "Look something a long the line of this". What a mouthfull!

13:56 OMG the masterpiece looks so amazing, absolutely blows the studio series out of the water! EDIT: AND they managed to make a pretty darn realistic helicopter with undercarrage and everything, without being a complete mess of panels!

Holy crap, this thing looks even better than I was expecting it to! He’s perfect! Phenomenal review as always you absolute legend!

This is TRULY a Masterpiece! I received mine yesterday and I’m blown away at the engineering, articulation, paint, and transformation. And you do, HANDS DOWN, the BEST guided transformations on RU-vid. Thank you for this channel, I really appreciate what you do!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This guy is already impossible to find...

The Sikorsky MH-53 pave low is a transport helicopter but instead of having guns under the wings they would typically mount an m2 browning .50 caliber machine gun on the loading ramp when not being used to transport small vehicles like hum-vs as well as any other military goods the two big things near the rotors are the engines that turn the turbines inside the helicopter that spin up the blades that jet sound when these start up/slow down are just two modified jet engines the fuel rod you did get kinda right it’s more of a probe that these types of helicopters would use to link up with a tanker in the air since these are used by mainly the navy and marine forces

Great review! I've never been a fan of Masterpiece toys. But I'm planning to change that by getting MPM Blackout this year. I missed out on both SS Blackout and Grindor, but he will fit in quite nicely.

i have grindor and wejiang. pretty happy with both. i love that the mp can finally cover the bottom with no seperate parts. brilliant engineering. only wished it was as big as wejiang version. but i got to add this guy to my collection.

That has got to be the greatest transformation I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful

Wow, 15th anniversary! I saw the movie in theaters and I feel old. This figure looks AWESOME! The underside panels hiding the robot and the mini scorpion are super cool. Definitely wanna get this, great review! 👍🏻👍🏻

Looks absolutely dope! Incredible accuracy and spot on in both modes! Incredible! 😁👌🏻 this was what was in my mind playing with the old voyager way back in 2007! Absolutely glorious! I've always loved his menacing design, presence, and the pave low as an actual helicopter! Super cool figure, man. Clean panels and even the rear ramp! My God!

I went through three stages in this single video Before watching: “I don’t need it, I’ve got the WeiJang figure, that’s good enough” During: “Actually, that’s pretty good, I might sell the WeiJang figure.” After seeing the size comparison: “Ya’know, I can have both a Blackout and Grindor”

i think a lot of effort had put in to make this figure very movie accurate and really well detailed... i just think it's not a fun piece to play with... more of just a display piece... thank the allspark i'm done with MP and MPM figures 😅

Holy shit what a satisfying transformation. The implementation of the weapon into the rotor blades is phenomenal

You know what I always thought that the thing above his head was actually his head for some reason

Gotta be honest, the transformation is smooth and satisfying, For me at least, and robot mode fairly accurate, and Man.. that vehicle mode is a 10/10, Overall this cured my Depression from the previous, MP releases, there's still hope, this one's really worth the wait!

And after seeing this chad i remembered the original voyager blackout & grindor figures.. boy, this was a long way.

With how positive the comments about this figure is in person, really showcases how HasTak needs people that know how to take pictures.

WOW WOW WOW! If anyone is still saying nonsense like "it's the same as studio series" or "OSKO is better" then this will probably shut them up! This looks like a true Masterpiece of a figure! The detail, posability and features are incredible.

Amazing figure, great video. Props for admitting you were wrong before about the legs, and for not abusing the phrase "attention to detail" this time :P

Thank you for always being very reliable I do not know you situation but I respect the amount of effort you put in every day! 👏👏👏

Looks great, can't wait to add him to the collection! Again, appreciate your reviews!

This was my first masterpiece and i couldnt be happier. I love this figure so much.

Just picked this up for 100 bucks brand new. God, is this awesome. Blackout was the only decepticon design I liked in the bay films. Well Grindor too for obvious reasons. This video convinced me to get my first ever Transformer figure as an adult. Thanks for the video!

Blew my expectations away! Amazing review for describing this true masterpiece

Probably the best review I have seen on this figure , well done 👍

Just bought MPM 13 at a Target in Virginia Beach for $165, they had 4 more on the shelf. I’ve seen the preorders go for $195 online.

WOW.... I was not expecting this to be good from the early pics. He's actually a great figure! Can't wait until Black Mamba releases their version of this. Sorry but I'm addicted to their superior paintwork!

Dang this is amazing... All Michael Bay Designs are so good they really look from the other worlds... Deceptions design are so good.

I just always wonder where do Transformers get ammo and does it run out ? Great video Blackout looks so real.

great video love your content

Man, I picked this guy up on Amazon for an awesome discount recently. I’m a huge fan of Bayverse Transformers and I have literally all the Bayverse studio series in my collection of Transformers. This is my first experience with MPM and holy cow I’m in love with this figure. I love my Blackout studio series but this MPM is just amazing.

Literally almost spit my food seeing this get uploaded, I had no idea they were even making a masterpiece Grindor/ blackout

My only grip he is kinda small but damn well detailed....They nailed it!

Honestly one of my favorite Bayverse Decepticons. Even with the chicken legs, he looked so badass and intimidating. I also really loved his Sikorsky MH-53 Pavelow helicopter alt mode. I for one can't wait to have the figure in my hands.

When the hell does this thing release!?!? I have looked all over the Internet and I can't find a single date for the release.

Thank you for this amazing review

I'd love to see Allspark Power Evac in this mould. It would look stunning.

Great video and review! Will definitely be getting this figure! Best in the mpm line. But, what this figure really needed was 100 soldiers 50 full scale planes and jets, alot of vehicles and all 100 soldiers would be loose and articulated, and it needed to cost 1000000000000$ only for the paint to chip easily and half the joints to be loose.

Next we need mpm Brawl and Bonecrusher and i wish they give us mpm longarm and the dunebuggys for the bots

Impressive! Too fiddly for me but some of those transformation tricks were very cool, like weapon storage. Great review!

Do we have an estimated release date? I'm sure it's posted somewhere in here. Bought Hide Shadow this year. Great figure. May use him for Grindor and use the MP for Blackout. Both beautiful figures.

This fig is amazing, I need one, btw his head looks a lot like Grindor from ROTF, still undeniably great head sculpt and the attention to detail, overall 10/10 for me

i need this asap ahh amazing review and now am watching 2007 film again now

The Moment we’ve all been waiting for and his name is Blackout

the inclusion of the sentry gun is so cool!

amazing review, still not a big fan of the paint job and the feet of this guy, but not as bad as i expected, good review

It's simply beautiful. I've always loved my SS version and the KO WeiJiang so I'm getting one of these and my guess is I'll hear about a release date on this channel?

any pictures next to the original blackout figure? been waiting since 07 for this beast!

propper hands, waist swivel and better feet, they took the studio series and just pressed ''upgrade''

I’m probably going to buy this figure and use him as a grindor on my studio series shelf

Really impressive figure. So much work would go into designing these.

This looks times over better than the stock images. Tho I do think he is small even by the standard MPM scale let alone KO upscales. I probably will wait for the KO but the official is going to be very hard not to pickup anyway !

Now that is amazing, the engineering is complex but not complicated, very accurate, and just plain fun one of the best transformers figures period, the very 1st decepticon that i like now just has one of the best figures ever

I've never bought a transformer before but blackout was my favorite from the movie and this looks amazing! Where's the best place to buy this? Also I see it doesn't come out til December, is this a really early review copy?

Wow new intro :)) Sounds coll bro Keep it up!

First and nice bro and how are you doing bro are you going to get the cang toys predaking/thunderking

I find it neat how they use some techniques from the SS blackout

This is a certified 'helikopter helikopter' classic

I. Need this. NOW!!! I missed out on the Original Studio Series Leader, so I'm over-the-top excited to get this guy!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This guy is gonna look amazing with my MPM Megatron and Barricade

That transformation is absolutely brilliant!

Awesome! but also shows how impressive the Studio Series is; especially considering the huge price disparity.

In your defense, the hasbro always pose their figures for official product images like they have parkingson’s. 70% of the time they’re mistransformed and 90% of the time the figure looks like dog water from official product shots.

Masterpieces Barricade, Megatron, Starscream, and Blackout. All we need is Brawl and Bonecrusher.

He already wins for me, because he has a waist rotation.

Definitely something I add to my Christmas wish list. I have such a big need one reflex right now. The same I had with the SS version, which was my first figure I pre-ordered.

And to velieve that i got the SD Grindor and thought that was excellent, seeing this one really raised the bar and probably the definitive version

Damn...this might be the first master piece I will get. Blackout was one of my favourite transformer from the movie.

Hi PvP. Do you have the Thrilling 30 Skywarp. It's an amazing figure!

Just got figure! Absolute stunning Transformer in every way. Best in my collection

Love the transformation, especially the arms.

I appreciate the Voyager Optimus comparison for Grindor

I have the studio series Grindor and that's a beautiful piece but this is stunning.

Absolutely fantastic!! It's actually VERY different from the SS version, and much better too, which frankly seemed impossible. I gotta comment on the ugly yellowing on Hide Shadow, my figure had the same even though it was in storage...

This kinda reminds me of the studio series transformation but i love the they integrated the tail rotor in the transformation and the underside is smooth en not a bunch of pieces like the studio series

the way they conceal the under part really blows my mind

I'm sold I've been a huge fan of Blackout I've been wanting a proper figure for over a decade

Another great review - thanks so much! I too was skeptical about this guy, and thought the SS versions were darn good, and the Wei Jiang was incredible, but they were absolute nightmares to transform. I like what they've done here to make changes to the transformation. Though not short and simple, it seems like it would be easier to follow ND accomplish than the SS versions.

the kibble monster is here in masterpiece form, and he's here with a bang. They honestly did a great job with him

He looks entirely different to the product shots and so much better for it. They aught to just hire PVP for the product photography XD

What is the scale of the helicopter mode- would it be 1/18? Looking to get for gi joes

jazz is the good one in mpm but this guy is amazing I like the arms one the detail so good

I miss the days when you gave us real guides on how to transform a figure. Still the best and clearest tutorials out there.

For some people, Blackaout is just an decepticon, but for others, is the main reason they discovered the Transformers community...
