Blackout

Blackout is a tanky and brutal Decepticon paired with his own mini-con, Scorponok. He is one of the most loyal Decepticons and one of the most dangerous thanks to his sonic cannon, capable of levelling entire bases.
== Information ==
=== Role ===
He is a soldier for the cause, though he is actually quite astute in tactics like his brother, Grindor. He is one of the toughest soldiers to fight and is overall a menace on the battlefield to any of the Autobots who dare pass him.
=== Powers and Abilities ===
Blackout is equipped with a mini-con in Scorponok, capable of deploying from his back and capable of burrowing. They have a symbiotic relationship. He is also a flier and a bulky flier at that, making him an issue on the field.
He possesses the usual loadout but has a special weapon, the Sonic Cannon, a blast of pure sound that destroys cities and bases in its way and is capable of sending bots flying. He also has rotor blades equipped, which he can use to cut and shred others.
== History ==
=== Before the War ===
He was a low caste gladiator back in the Golden Ages and wanted change. He felt he was tactically more astute then most and wanted a different job, he had hoped for himself to be a higher caste but was naive enough not to realise how corrupt the system was, until he met the gladiator Megatronus.
=== During the War ===
He took part in the council massacre, though he got no kills on any official members. He would, from then on, serve in the war, mostly under Starscream's general command, and as a result, not only was he fiercly loyal to Megatron, but also to Starscream, the second-in-command even seeing Blackout as more of a friend.
He did not take part in the Battle of Iacon, though he was fighting elsewhere against Silverbolt. He won the battle, and Silverbolt had to flee from the scene. He would then meet up with the other Decepticons on the Nemesis as they headed to Earth. He was there when Barricade returned from a botched mission and sent on a mission by Starscream to try to locate the Ark and the Autobots as a result.
He would spot Smokescreen and Bumblebee on a scouting mission, firing four heat seeking missiles at Smokescreen, flinging the bot before landing and transforming, immediately firing his sonic cannon at Bumblebee. He then deployed Scorponok under the objective, "Murder the fleshling." Scorponok was beat back by Bee when he tried but then hid away. Blackout meanwhile fought Ratchet and Ironhide, who had just arrived, though he was bested and was subsequently captured. When interrogated, he was smart and lippy with Optimus, explaining that Starscream led the cons now, as the only real choice, to which Moonracer begrudgingly said he had a point.
