Sure looks like he has the face of one molded into his forehead.
Anyhoo ... rounded packaging. Didn't like it in Armada, not going to like it now. But then again, who needs the packaging except weird hardcore collectors.

Sad but true, I just wish they would do something with all that wasted space they keep throughing at us!

I look at it from a storage/display perspective.
I don't have much room so a lot of my TF's get stored. Now if I store them in boxes those things aren't going to pack very well.
However if I display them, they're also not going to display well.
So I will stick with what i've been doing for Cybertron. Provided there's a bio and stuff on the back i'll cut that off and keep it.
But otherwise, rounded packaging, I just don't like it.

Yeah I feel all your angst about the pacikaging, its always been pretty crappy how American Toy manufacturers package their products. They could learn a thing or 2 from Japanese Manufacturers and their openable, collapsable boxes.. that you can break down and store, or place the product back in for transport...
I just hope the white "MIME" gloves are gone in this final version..What idiot at Hasbro decided that would be cool??
Its a shame really, if they are still white, then it just shows that they get so far, but keep missing the mark..
in the immortal words of William Shatner as Kirk: Still, "old friend." You've managed to kill everyone else but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target.
Hasbro...on the Transformers Movie toys coloring and sculpts..
If only they would up their quality on that aspect..
Still its not all bad, i do like the overall look of Blackout, just not too fond of the white hands..of course it could have been worse, he could have the hands of Ratchet..

Yeah, he does look like Shredder...
Still a cool toy, but those white hands just kill it for me.

Well, I was going to say so we don't have boxes 3 inches wide and a yard long, but yours is funny.
Not a fan of the arted face, but I love the fig.

Blackout carries Scorponok in him, why? Cause Blackout was originally going to be Soundwave, making Scorpy act as a a tape-ish mini bot.

Barricade wasn't always Barricade and neither has Blackout always been Blackout.
Blackout was supposed to be Soundwave and I also heard they were going to call him Vortex.

Some of the others are OK, but those are by far the best I have seen and overall some of the best incarnartions of Transformers ever in my opinion. I only wish they had done better on Starscream and Megatron. I am hoping Deluxe Arcee is as good as Prime.
I can't imagine how ugly Arcee will be.
