    Looking back, I can (sadly) say that this is VASTLY superior than the official one.

    It's good to see an old friend again. I love this custom.

    Yep... still the best. Suddenly Hasbro's attempt feels a bit feeble in comparison.

    I disagree.
    It's not suddenly.

    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.

    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? :)

    I had the box in hand... it was such an easy pass.
    Why can't Wheel_Jack be a Hasbro designer?
