That picture with the other seekers blows my mind. The paint/color choices are perfect...and DAT TANK MODE!!! Wow...Epic custom!
It's good to see an old friend again. I love this custom. Dang it, now I'm off that new Voyager Blitzie again.
Haha. I see what you did there. I wouldn't classify the Hasbro version as "feeble"... though "unremarkable" fits... aside from being a Voyager, and y'know, finally being a Blitzwing finally. But this one is a beauty. I know it's a custom, and at the Masterpiece scale, but the alt-modes are so successful, I can't help feeling disappointed that Hasbro didn't manage to deliver something similar. zmog
You remember a conversation we had a while back about CHUG Ironhide... how you really disliked it but I looked past its flaws because we finally had an Ironhide that wasn't all goofy? I can't even garner the same sentiment toward Has's attempt at Blitzwing as I did Ironhide.
I'll refrain from judgment in this case until I have a Blitzwing in hand. Aesthetic awkwardness can be forgivable, as long as the toy makes up for it in functionality. In that sense at least, Classics Ironhide bombs in both categories. Hoping Blitzwing fares a bit better... Why can't Wheel_Jack just make them all? zmog
