Either they've mistransformed that Jet mode or this figure is gonna be a real let down... :(

ok the jet mode looks abit naff but the tank mode should be good then. Great bot mode.

I am thinking that the tank mode wheels fold 90 degree inwards.

Dam sexy

Yeah, it looks mis-transformed... but that's pretty much par for the course isn't it?! :rolleyes:

I will be getting this guy for sure!

Having a squizz at the instructions, it almost looks like the tank treads are meant to be there. Shame about the big ass "flame missiles" (instructions not in pic).

STill overall looks pretty sweet!

Currenlty $340 US. When an auction gets that high, do the bid increments have to be in $5 amounts?

Geez the tank mode better be good. Bot mode is great with quite normal proportions compared to most animated figures - less spindly limbs.

Three hundred and forty dollars!? :mad: That's highway robbery! I'll wait till August for my mint on card under thirty dollars and more than likely not nicked from a Hasbro Factory in China Blitzwing thankyou very much.

Yeh, thats a lot of money for a figure that isn't all that far off really.

& there are still 4 days to go. :(

This is exactly why those factory workers are willing to take the risks to steal one & flog it off on Demonbay. They know there are plenty of Saps out there who don't know what to do with their overflowing wallets.

Sweet. Chunky yes, but the colours are the perfect homage to G1 Blitzwing.

More pics and I'm glad that he's a Voyager though the tank mode looks iffy.

He makes Lugnut look small!!! Now they need to make a Leader Lugnut!

He has a "very animated design", doesn't he? (Couldn't they have done something with those tank treads in jet mode?)

Ill get them all! But again Hasbro blows it by not observing proper size - Blitz aint suppose to be bigger than ol Lugnut. ah well.... same ol Hasbro

yeah they kinda screwed lugnut and bulkhead voyagers in terms of size. Well compared together they are equally matched.. :D

I'll definitely get him but only because I display my tfs in bot mode. Not a fan of either alt mode.

Boy the Alt modes royally suck on Animated Blitzswing, particularly the plane mode which seems as if he is stuck mid transformation. Its a bit of a shame that G1 Bliyzwing (a 25 year old toy) can pull off the tripple change much better than the newer toy.

At least the robot mode seems kind of cool but its too bad that the alt modes almots feel like an afterthought.

I was more impressed by the video than i was by the pics...
Only thing i don't really like is the front of the tank mode looks like the wings dont join up in the middle (at least in this video, i have to check the photos again)
What's certain is that Sean Long is one rich sod!

It is a shame the jet mode looks a bit big. Hopefully the Lugnut robot will be chunky enough to make Blitzo look smaller. Maybe they should've whipped out some Ultra sized Bulkhead and Lugnutz.
