    That idea is just as crazy as Blitzwing himself! Next you'll want Hasbro to package 'em in pelvic thrust poses to have MISB dancing Transformers.

    I'm gonna have to go with the idea of Voyager. Because from what I remember, Hasbro stated they were gonna have the face-changing gimmick like Man-e-Faces with Blitzwing's figure. And I don't think a deluxe with that function would look very show accurate.

    I just wonder how long till the ball gets dropped and we see a prototype for him.

    I hope it's a Voyager, I won't mind paying $10 more if the quality of my favorite Animated character is improved.

    I did, but I've always flat out said that I'd heard deluxe, but hadn't confirmed it.
    Kickback knows of what he speaks, so I'm inclined to trust him when he says voyager.

    By the way didn't Hasbro say something about making Blitzwing fit with the other Classics triple-changers? What is that supposed to mean? G1 Styled sculpt? Deluxe size? G1 COLORS(ogod no)!?

    They meant the "Animated" style would be "de-styled" just a tad so he wouldn't look out-of place with them, i.e. more detail/panel-lines, less hands will look more like traditional robot hands etc. Nothing that comprimises the actual figure.

    Well, I'm allright with it as long as they don't touch his head sculpt!

    Voyager seems likely, given the number of gimmicks the toy is supposed to have, but I'm hoping for a deluxe and save my wallet some pain. XD

    I don't care about scale as much as some people do, but I hope his toy is at least quality. All the current Deluxes have been quality and simple... I would hate to see Blitzwing compromised while the rest of the line has not been.

    Oh god I hope so. Blitzy was one of my favorite G1 triple-changer. Now he's even better with the whole "I'm Polite! I'm Ahnold! I'm CRAAAAAZY!!!" thing. I can't wait to put him next to Henkei Astotrain and Universe Octane. :D

    If you look at the concept art for Blitzwing he looks a little more detailed than your average animated figure. He looks as detailed as that larger bulkhead.

    detailed as Leader Bulkhead! awesome!!

    oh, and on seibertron, it says he is a deluxe, with Sentinel as a voyager and Omega Supreme as an Ultimate-could mean something?
