Animated Voyager Blitzwing Review

Now put it in Gerwalk mode (arms up, legs down). :)

Disclaimer: I'm using the Robotech definition of "Gerwalk." In Macross Gerwalk is the same as Guardian (re: Robotech II sourcebooks).

yes yes..that's the word i was trying to find! thanks gok!

(offtopic)
By Robotech standards yours is in Guardian mode, not Gerwalk mode. By Macross standards it's Gerwalk (Macross doesn't make a distinction between the Gerwalk with arms deployed or not whereas Robotech does).
(/offtopic)

any idea when this thing is released here?

I dunno, October/November?

Great Review!!

I have been waiting for this figure, but as others have mentioned not as great as it could be. I still am hoping to get hold of one.

We're so behind... I want Supreme Roll-Out Prime, Activators wave 2 and Deluxe wave 3 already... :o

Kyle,
If I were you, I wouldn't spend a cent on him - the reviews for him are shocking... :(

As soon as you take it out of the box, you'll probably get disappointed & immediately wanna exchange him for something else...

Ono Koujin (the dude who designed most G1 TFs, including the triple changers) himself considers Blitzwing and Astrotrain to be his best works. Judging from these pictures, Animated Blitzwing doesn't come off as being the acme of triple-changing Transformers by 2008 standards.


Animated and Blitzwing are the perfect Blitzwings... yeah man, they're the only Blitzwings! :D :)

Robot MODE Doh!

And put animated blitzwing in robot MODE with g1 blitzwing and you have the perfect blitzwing.

Geddit? Gottit? Goodit. :)

And yea, as triple changers go, nothing has beaten g1 blitzwing. Ever. I absolutely love tank mode, it's what I display it as, and its jet mode, well, almost all of the current jets that suffer from crap undercarriage could learn a few things from it. :)

oh man i want this figure bad! i need a triple changer lol, i think the fact that he can transform into a deluxe sized tank and a voyager sized plane is very funny though
