Title:
Blackout Anti-Aircraft
Description:
Decepticon Anti-Aircraft Base (Micromaster Combiner, 1990)
Accessories: "Anti-Aircraft Base” tank, "scout vehicle”, ramp, 2 cannons, bazooka, communications dish, "radar drum”, missile launcher.
Blackout transforms into the front half of a blue and gray B-1 bomber jet, and was sold exclusively in a set which included Spaceshot (who transforms into the rear end of said jet), and the Anti-Aircraft Base. As a Micromaster Combiner, Blackout can combine with any other Micromaster Combiner, Combiner Transport, or Micro Trailer to form new and excitingly unworkable vehicle modes (although Blackout’s arms stick out a little past the connection point, requiring them to be repositioned slightly in order to form a stable combination with anyone other than Spaceshot).Blackout’s transformation bestows the unique honor among Micromasters of having neck rotation, allowing for great drunk-driving poses in the little jeep that comes with the Anti-Aircraft Base.
Notes
Blackout and Spaceshot’s original Tech Specs completely lacked any kind of pronouns. Although Dreamwave’s More than Meets the Eye profile comics applied male pronouns to the characters, Jim Sorenson and David Bishop made them female in their Beast Wars: Uprising prose stories.Dreamwave’s profiles accidentally reversed the character models for Blackout and Spaceshot, portraying Spaceshot as the front half of their combined vehicle mode and Blackout as the rear half. This error carried over into the bio text as well, so it is entirely possible that the personality assigned to Blackout was intended for Spaceshot, and vice versa.That mistake reappeared almost ten years later when, for reasons unknown, Spaceshot was featured in a character lineup on Hubworld.com’s Generation 1 cartoon page, visually represented by Dreamwave’s erroneous Blackout art. Neither one of them had any business being there, as they didn’t even exist until three years after the cartoon ended.
