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

[@anibus8315]

I just dont get why they made scorponok so small, he should at least be double the size of what he is

[@BadAssXerx3]

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

[@beanzthumbz]

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.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I agree! After a bumpy start they appear to be now going from strength to strength

[@DeliveryWave]

While I agree that Blackout was not that good of a Studio Series figure (an arm on mine even snapped off, and he has a lot of stress marks), it was their first Leader entry into the line, and they had poor quality plastic. Studio Series have gotten better at their quality (not at accuracy though, Hasbro sucks)

[@catpin]

But I wish Transformers Studio Series can 2.0 versions of the Studio Series live-action characters that can replicate from the movie masterpiece and eliminate kibble.

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.

[@DavidHutchinson0713]

Transformers was far from the first film Michael Bay did, actually. His directorial debut would be the 1995 film Bad Boys, starring Will Smith. He also made other movies like The Rock in 1996, Armageddon in 1998, Pearl Harbor in 2001, and The Island in 2005 before directing the 2007 Transformers movie.

[@ilikepigeons6101]

lmao

[@krtos7514]

Agree, most MP and MPM are a pain to transform, but is the nature of a near perfect transformation toy that keeps the aesthetics of a near accurate cartoon / CGI model. To me the only transforming toys that have a perfect enjoyable transformation and show accurate representation are the Macross VF-1 from Arcadia & DX Chogokin.

[@dioramaworldcustoms]

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!

[@dioramaworldcustoms]

@Dan Young I read that Blackout & Grindor we’re supposed to be the same height. I know they’re the same helicopter; only difference is Grindor is a Super Stallion. But there are some discrepancies I’ve noticed throughout the movies. In T1 & T2 Iron Hide is half of Primes height. Maybe just a bit taller than Bumblebee. But pay attention to T3, Iron Hide is now huge like Optimus. He’s twice the height of Sideswipe!

[@cubehipster7160]

Hopefully it gets a KO.

[@godzillagilbert1337]

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

[@thehighwayman3122]

What's even funnier is that currently, Sikorsky is making more money from the licensing for this MPM than they currently are for the IRL Helicopter, since the real life MH-53 was retired from service a year after the 2007 movie came out, and obviously Sikorsky isn't producing any more of them.
