To find \( a_4 \) in the sequence defined by the formula \( a_n = -10(-3)^{n-1} \), we can simply substitute \( n = 4 \) into the formula.

Using the formula:

\[
a_4 = -10(-3)^{4-1}
\]

First, calculate the exponent:

\[
4 - 1 = 3
\]

Now, substitute that back into the formula:

\[
a_4 = -10(-3)^3
\]

Now calculate \( (-3)^3 \):

\[
(-3)^3 = -27
\]

Then substitute this value back into the equation:

\[
a_4 = -10 \times (-27)
\]

Now calculate:

\[
a_4 = 270
\]

Thus, the answer is:

\[
\mathbf{270}
\]
