Hot on the heels of our first stock images of the highly anticipated Transformers Masterpiece Movie MPM-13 Blackout, now we can share for you the official video presentation uploaded by Hasbro China via Weibo.
Takara Tomy designer Tomo Tatsumi shows two color prototypes of Masterpiece Blackout (robot and alt mode) giving us a closer look at the deco, poseability, gimmicks and extra parts (including the Scoponok mini-figure) of this detailed Masterpiece which is arguably the most movie-accurate representation of the popular Decepticon to date.
Pre-orders are up via Hasbro China Tmall online store for 1649 Yuan which is about $257.05 (according to Google conversion data).
Watch the video here or a YouTube mirror after the break as well as some screencaps. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. We hope the US release date and price should be revealed soon. You can join now to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards and sound off your impressions about Masterpiece Blackout.

It wouldn't be the first MPM that got upgrade kits to help it out. Kinda sucks from a paying extra standpoint, but it's nice to get options when you can.

If this could fold up to match the main blades for back storage this figure would have been flawless to me

Definitely a shame since he's too small to scale with black apple prime

I just got one from Mercari after missing the official batch and man, he's amazing. Actually incredible they managed to fit the rail rotor in the robot mode and covering the underside of the helicopter. Mine has a slightly bent fuel rod which is a little disappointing but overall flawless.

Got him today. I haven't had the chance to transform him yet but he is in place with the rest of the collection. Now I just need my gap filler upgrade kit for Astrotrain to show up and my Grimlock DNA upgrade kit to show.
Edit: Added pic of them transformed.View attachment 30045320 View attachment 30044731

Lol. Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow so pretty excited. Blackout is the one that made me want to have a small collection in the first place. He will be the centerpiece between 07 Grimlock, MP-11SW Skywarp and WFC Astrotrain.

I've seen some reviews and love the details. How do you like this one? Do you have the Studio series and can compare?

Awesome. Thank you both. I will most certainly get the cheaper of the two. I had just bought the SS of Grindor and was about to order guns for him. Then found out the MPM just came out. Grindor went back to Amazon and as soon as I get the remainder of the money, Blackout will be where he belongs on my shelf by Astrotrain and Skywarp complete with details and weapons. Super excited.

Outside of maybe getting some Japanese lettering on your box, there’s no reason to spend and extra $50 on the Takara version.

Excluding MPM-3 Bee, MPM-4 Prime & MPM-12 Prime, every other MPM has been basically identical Takara or Hasbro. Outside of maybe differently colored screws I guess. I'm pretty sure Blackout is one of the identical bunch, so if I were you I'd just go with the Hasbro listing and save yourself some money.
