Animated Voyager Blitzwing Review

[MV75]

Mmmmm, bit of a letdown really. Jet undercarriage is really ticking me off over the last few years, and this one just looks like a fast tank.

I'll have to say though, yes, the robot mode rocks, but the other two arn't that great.

I have a G1 blitzwing, and yea, the g1 tank and jet are really much better than this one, but this ones robot craps all over the g1 robot for sure.

So I'd have to say if I got this toy, it would be to have the "perfect" blitzwing, (this and the g1 toy).

I'd just like to say I like the tank treads on the jet mode. It looks cool in a bizarre way.

Look at it in context though - by 1985 standards I'd say that G1 Blitzwing was a pretty darn good toy. Amongst all the G1 Triple Changers Blitzwing is my favourite. 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!

Heh, I agree. The jet mode does look like the cooler of the two alt modes. That tank mode looks like fail. :/ (Armada Megatron's tank mode looks better than that IMO!)

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.
