Platinum Triplechanger Set Image

Just saw this on FB, original source looks to be Cyberton Philippines page, but unsure...

Interesting.... Very interesting

P.S. I dub the... Thrustwing!!!

Yes interesting

Anyone know of the reason for Blitzwings colour? Is it a comic thing?

It's not a comic thing, unless some Shattered Glass comic thing. Astrotrain's colours look familiar but I can think what they remind me of.

To me Blitzwing looks more like Flywheels. And I ask myself would I buy a G1 Blitzwing reprinted as Flywheels and I think the answer is probably yes.

And here I was hoping Astrotrain would be in Ehobby colours. Oh well.

In issue 4 of the war within comic, 3 tank-ish bots were miscoloured, and were corrected in the TPB version. But brawl looks like he has Blitzwings new colours....

Ewwww... what is that orange/white mish-mash monstrosity.

Blitzwing is too obscured to judge, but the red is a bit too bright for my liking.

They both look like badly coloured KOs... but considering the first two Platinums for this year (YOTG Soundwave & Optimus), these will fit right in.

Compared to those three sets, it's almost out of place having the Insecticons in Gen1 colours.

When I first saw the picture, I thought they were the autobot clones. I loved it, thinking they reissued Fastlane & Cloudraker, then i looked closer & saw that its Blitzwing & Astrotrain...

I'd still hit it :p

I don't really mind the look of Thrustwing and Nerfotrain and given that I don't own a G1 version of either I could be tempted to pick this up.

Oh dear.... I'd like to have been in the room during the design pitch for these :p
