- Blackout is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Blackout is a free spirit to his core and doesn't believe in doing ANYTHING that compromises who he is inside. The only reason this independent streak doesn't get him in MAJOR trouble with his Decepticon masters is that "who he is inside" craves action more than anything else and the Cons DO provide that in spades. Still, even with the oportunity to bust some heads he's not sold on the Decepticon agenda and is not shy about sayings so, no mater the punishment. This spirited tendency towards dissent and free thhought often put him at odds with his frequent partner, the loyal lackey Demolishor. The two spend a lot of time tring to argue each other into the other ones veiwpoint.
Blackout is powerful and heavily armored for a mini-con and possesses a powerful sensor array to aid in target aquisition.

- Demolishor w/ Blackout (Deluxe, 2002/2003)
- Japanese ID number: MD-03
- Demolishor transforms into an anti-aircraft missile tank of made-up model. In vehicle mode, he has extra Mini-Con compatability; a seat behind his turret so he can be piloted, plus the space between his treads features a clip/launcher mechanism for his partner Blackout in vechicle mode. Attaching a Mini-Con to his left shoulder's Powerlinx plug in either mode pushes his twin-missile launcher mechanism forward, and allows his spring-loaded missiles to be fired.
