Hmm ... Gundam. That poses a problem for the potential of Blackout. Need to do some research ...

> Mayuri tends to fight alone and/or kill off his comrades while trying to get his "test subject," plus he may also just get others to do his dirty work for him and not even bother to fight at all. And once the cure is administered, they make full recoveries from the effects of the poison and can go back to fight (assuming they don't have other injuries). Hmm, then again, tthat only seems to work for Mayuri's cure... > > Man, it's hard to find a villian who isn't super powerful or dead. Starscream was always a sure bet. He's almost always alive somehow. 

I'm really thinking of replacing Frenzy with Blackout. If the Decepticon is accepted that is ... Also, just heard that I may get a power outage tonight. Just FYI, as I don't know when exactly.

> Well, for some of these characters size is irrelevant. Saber, for example, shouldn't have to worry about her opponents size in combat. Exactly. Blackout is big and slow. I don't think you ever see him run in any of the scene's he's in. Also, I want to point something out. Blackout was killed by humans. That's military humans with no magic, no psychic ... stuff. Nothing except good 'ole fashioned big guns. In fact, in the base attack scene he was seemingly harmed by a human with a grenade launcher. Not much harm done, but enough to warrant him launching flares to prevent further attacks. Basically, so long as he keeps you from hitting back with anything heavy he's unstoppable. Once you start hitting back you can find his weaknesses and beat him. [Watch this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvYWG-CypGM) [And This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMo_Jx35SZw)

> @Rosette Christopher: I replied, I think it's only showing PMs that you send instead of PMs you receive. Which is annoying but I can put up with it. ^^; > > @Masaki Haruna: ... Okay I was _REALLY_ worried for a moment until it was made pretty clear that it's a fandom joke. Um, unless you're serious about full-blown playing him like that in which case there are problems. > > @Mtntopview: Honestly he doesn't seem overpowered, the issue is more he's huge. ^^; > > He does have a holographic pilot. Maybe he can use that to interact while he sits in his helicopter form in the background?  Is there nothing Moustache Man cannot do!? Funny fact, that's what he's called officially and shows in the credits. He also appears in G1.

Also, there seems to be a problem with the PM system. Not sure if everyone already knows this or not. I couldn't confirm it until just now.

Ya know what, I'ma put up the CS for him and see what you think. ----- **Name:** Blackout **Age:** Millions of years **Gender:** Male **Appearance:**   **Canon, AU, or OC?:** Cannon **Universe of Origin:** Transformers (2007 live action movie) **Personality:** Blackout has been described as the “hound” of Megatron. This stemmed from the fact he was always looming behind his leader, silent and waiting for his orders. His specialty is in tracking down and eliminating targets that his lord Megatron designates, and he will not stop until they are fulfilled. Another facet of Blackouts personality would be his distrust in his comrades, as he constantly is trying to detect plots against his leader. Although the massive Decepticon may seem far from stealthy, he can be quite sneaky at times. He is very skilled at using his companion, Scorponok to fulfill missions or eavesdrop on enemies. **Abilities/Weapons:** Blackout often fulfills the role of a transport for his comrades due to his large size. For this reason, he is very well defended. He is armed with a missile launcher, 2 arm-mounted Gatling cannons and two Energy cannons, as well as the ability to disrupt electronics via EMP blasts. He also can detach his tail rotor blades as a close-combat weapon. He also carries the Cybertronian scorpion, Scorponok. He usually sends his companion out to hunt down any survivors from his attacks. These tools, coupled with his height of 50-55 feet and weight of 2.9 tons, Blackout usually prefers using his size to overpower his foes. **Backstory:** Once a member of the Cybertronian Defense Force, he ended up becoming one of Megatron’s most trustable soldiers. After Megatron left to pursue the Allspark, he was placed under Starscream’s command. He didn’t get along with the air commander, as he viewed his superior to be a threat to his true leader. In a way, he was very right, as Starscream had no interest in trying to locate Megatron. As the Decepticons arrived on Earth, Blackout eliminated several bases and attempted to hack into the local Earth’s defense systems in order to locate their leader, who had landed on the planet hundreds of years ago. However, his infiltration was interrupted after the base commander cut the hard lines to the server, cutting him off from his leader’s location. He proceeded to eliminate the base, and even launched Scorponok to hunt down a small group of survivors. Later, Blackout took part in the battle at Mission City, and attempted to kill the human boy who was carrying the Allspark. He then fell back for a short time, before coming to his master’s aid as he fought the Autobot leader. However, as he was focused on targeting Prime, the human soldiers that Scorponok had failed to kill managed to finish him off, along with the assistance of some human jets. He then collapsed the ground as his spark failed and he went offline ... or so the Autobots/humans believed. **Faction:** Shadow Eternity ---- This is a draft and is not the final version.

> I will say from what I know Gold Experience Requiem is basically off-limits in ANY RP, including this one. > > @Mtntopview: Why would you think he's overpowered? Mostly his size coupled with a couple of his weapons. He stands at about 45-50 ft tall and transforms into a military helicopter. But it's his sonic weapons that really do damage. I could link you to a video of him if you want. [Size Comparison](http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-movie-discussion/27200590d1292672436-autobot-decepticon-exact-sizes-movie-transformers-size-comparison-3.jpg) He was my original pick for a character, but I went with Frenzy instead.

I just want to place this here, cuz I'm not sure about it. But would Blackout from the Transformers 2007 liveaction movie be too overpowered? Anyone even know what I'm talking about?

nothing. Just blend in as an average person. Standing out means you get mowed down.
