I knew I made a mistake when I decided to open Sandstorm first, then Springer, and lastly Blitzwing.

I do really like the fact that the two parts that conflicts with his two alt modes the most - tank trends and plane wings - are built into the same part of his body, which makes for a really simple solution of turning his legs 90 degrees to reveal or hide the said part. Love the part where his treads open up to reveal more treads.

Don't really like to mod my TFs so will put this shoulder fix off for some time. It does not look like it will take long to fix both the left shoulder and remove the head spring gimmick. My real concern is the large amount of soft plastic used for a vital part of the plane mode - with the amount of force I had to use on it, I cannot see the soft rubber nosecone hinge joint standing the test of time.

The face gimmick works in a smarter way to the original Animated head, but I find it unnecessary and felt that the head may have looked better if it was 10-15% smaller. Maybe that would have allowed for a non-soft rubber plastic nosecone.

Aesthetics-wise, what was missing in the robot mode for me were wings. Real wings, and not little purple triangles.
