Blackout

Blackout is the first Decepticon and transformer that appeared in the first Transformers film and the whole film series. Like Soundwave, Blackout is loyal to Megatron. He first appears as a CH-53 Pavelow heading for the U.S. SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar and try to hack into the U.S. Military network to find the location of Megatron and the All Spark. Their mission is thwarted when the base staff cuts the network cable connections. While Blackout destroys the rest of the base, Scorponok pursues a small group of survivors, led by Captain William Lennox and Sergeant Robert Epps, who have photographic evidence of the robots.

Later, Blackout is seen rallying with the other Decepticons to Starscream's call, after Frenzy discovers the Allspark in the Hoover Dam. Arriving in Mission City during the final battle, Blackout attacks Sam, who is saved by the timely intervention of Ironhide. Later he attempts to kill Sam with his rotor weapon. Towards the end of the battle he attempts to help Megatron finish off Optimus Prime; however, he is attacked by Captain Lennox and his team, the former racing underneath him on a motorcycle and firing at him with a sabot round, along with human pilots in F-22s firing a barrage of missiles from the air, eventually killing him. (The events of "Starscream's Militia" and Alliance issue #2 occur next.) His corpse is disposed of in the Laurentian Abyss, along with Megatron and the other fallen Decepticons.
