    *Update ALT Tank Mode Page 2*

    *Update ALT Jet Mode Page 2*

    Good day everyone, I'm very happy to finally post this. Please be patient, I'll be uploading ALT modes as the paint cures, I'm just too excited to not post now. There are so many people who inspired this one, Tomservo, Alphamagnus, mstyger87, even Spoonman's WIP...the list could go on and on...

    I have so many unfinished WIPs that I decided to stick to one until it's done and Blitzwing was my first choice. Mostly a Seeker mold and a Deluxe Movie Brawl with CW Brawl turret that finished it off finally. Lots of styrene work everywhere and good old magnets to help keep it together.

    ALT mode 1 (jet) hopefully tomorrow...

    Not the first I've seen of "Blitzwing from Classics Seeker" ... but I'd say it's the best of them.

    Thank you sir, neither can I...

    Well you know, I'm always up for making you happy :)  We inspire each other hopefully.

    That is quite a complement and I appreciate it. I hope to continue the impression.

    soon...SOON!!!

    Thanks for this, to impress a non-classics guy makes my day.

    *knocks on wood* Hope it keeps it up through transformations :) 

    No, Thank You for some seriously well done inspiration!

    ***I promise updates soon...stupid work has been riding hard me so far this week...stupid work is stupid. But I won't let it keep me from finishing up this guy by the end of the week. Thanks again for all the happy feels.

    Ooooh yes, some Classics love!! Been a while since I seen me some Classics on these boards!
    This came out really fantastic. I don't think a factory paint job would have been as clean.
    And of course, thanks for the nod, sir ;)

    Oh thank you good sir! The smooth and neat comes from the vallejo paints our old friend SpurtRenyolds recommended. To quote an old school 80's commercial "Goes on wet, stays on dry"!

    Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with this reference, but if you could lead me in the right direction I might be able to add an additional accessory!

    And again, thanks for the inspiration! I am determined to finish out my Classics line with a full on G1 line up. This is the first of many completed bashes to achieve that.

    As promised, here we go with Alt Mode 1 (Jet Mode). More tomorrow definitely...the all important Tank Mode!

    Wow!! Is the gun barrel hiding or does it have to removed for jet mode. This looks so good.

    Nope, its there, here is a shot from the rear. No partsforming!

    I'm not sure either, and seeing as the Titan Wars Megatron is obviously going to be ANOTHER Voyager Blitzwing, the chances of a Deluxe looks even less likely.

    As promised, here is the final ALT Mode 2 (Tank)! I'm real happy how this guy turned out and now I've got my mojo back to move on to the next unfinished WIP. Thanks for watching everyone!

    My only complaint with this is the nosecone sticking out. But I can see how that would be impossible to do

    Thank you sir, it was quite a long but fun process.

    Yeah, try as I might, it was unavoidable in the end. But after getting it done and lining it up against the other 2 official triplechangers, I think it turned out well enough. Especially compared to Octane, man that tanker is a goofy transformation.
