    I want to like this more but the vehicle mode reminds me too much of the Nitro Series version of this character (which I impulsively got and now only like for the face-switching gimmick). That by association makes me feel like this is a bit too hollow and cheap, an impression that could be dispelled if only I handled it.

    I've had this for a week now.

    It's a very good figure.

    The jet mode isn't as silly looking in hand as I had feared. It's not accurate to the film at all, so if you're after an F4 Phantom this isn't your boy. The only issue with it for me is that the rear stabilisiers (tail fins? I'm not a jet guy) are too close together. Otherwise, it looks nice, has a good wingspan, and is quite stable.

    Transformation is fun. It's a good modern twist on the standard seeker transformation.

    Robot mode is bloody great. One of the best in the SS line. It looks awesome, and poses well.

    The figure comes with four accessories. A gun, which looks great on the figure, an alternate hand for throat jab action, and two drop tanks (which the packaging calls bombs, but they're not). The drop tanks are kind of underwhelming and are honestly just included to increase robot mode accuracy. I wish they did anything else other than just being pegged into either side of the wing.

    In all, a great toy.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    Has anyone else had difficulty with getting Blitzwing's anti-aircraft gun mode right? https://www.flickr.com/photos/725155...7673654823481/

    A character whose color scheme denotes Ramjet instead of Blitzwing.
    A character who isn't a triple changer like Blitzwing.

    I don't know the imposter's real name but it certainly isn't Blitzwing.

    That's very cool. I haven't tried that version, but there's a tank-ish mode that works pretty well, although the gun just rests on top.

    Oh that's definitely better than mine! Just as well for us things look weird on Cybertron.
