Are you BOTHERED by it so much? Not EVERY other person says he's a deluxe if you read these threads and what Hasbro said about him last year.
Lockdown is bigger than Bumblebee? Umm... yes... because isn't Bumblebee made to be smaller than a standard delxue? How about some other deluxe car mode comparisons?
Lockdown and Starscream are around the same mass wise? Really? What are their respective masses? Can you give their grams? How about the length, width, and height of each in each of their modes? I don't mean that to be snarky about this, but if you have them then such measurements would be rather objective data whereas anyone's general subjective assessment of mass is of course subjective.
Sorry, I don't have any to compare. I don't buy stolen merchandise. But you still don't have Blitzwing to compare either. | Well.. CAPS usually is implied shouting in a forum/post. Bumblebee is a rather big deluxe, same height as Cybertron Prime and I dont buy stoled merchandise either. If you wouldn't have come off like that in the first place, it wouldnt have been like that, the snarkiness, or whatever it is which you've done in both posts. No buddy, I'm not gonna take a tape measure or ruler or gram scales to measure these things out for you. Everyones got a difference opinion, you just seemed to have the problem with it all. Not me, I've got loads better things to do than "argue" my point. No one has Blitzwing as of yet, even the guy who bought it so go figure that one out yourself. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it, I'll get one when it isn't a ridiculous amount. Other than that have a nice day brotha, looks like you're having a bad one. 
Buy some Animated, trust me, you'll cheer up immensly. Always makes me happy.

I've not been let down by any of them yet, a lot of great engineering went into these figures. Some just look a lot better or have a unique gimmick others dont. Wonder if Blitzwing does anything other than his head spin?
butz:
Jet mode looks a lot better here.
dark gundam:
Looks okay to me...the earlier pics of jet mode looked fisher-price.
Paradigm-Shift Prime:
Meh...I was really hyped to see Blitzwing but now after seeing him to me he is a big let down. Not that I won't buy him or anything. Neither alt mode looks any good at all, they both look stuck half-way in between. The jet looks a little better here than in yesterday's pic but is that not just the angle/that you can't really see the treads from the head-on from above angle these jet mode pics show?
Blaster_Prime:
God I want this so much
General Magnus:
WANTS!!!! 
I like it, shame in the pic we canīt see if the jet mode still has the tracks or not.

The question is, do they still stick out as much or are they more recessed

too big for the deluxe packaging | Final Battle Jazz.
Comes in bot mode, instruction is vehicle to bot.
Give up already guys, we never gonna know Blitzwing's size class until botcon, which is next week so let's just wait and see.
NOT THAT IT MATTERS anyway, everybody that likes Blitzwing gonna get Blitzwing no matter his price.
sixshot2K:
I love his jet mode

NOT THAT IT MATTERS anyway, everybody that likes Blitzwing gonna get Blitzwing no matter his price. | that is a special case, they just threw in jazz instructions but edited the part about the weapon....that is just that (and it was just a modify jazz, blitzwing is a new mold)
and there should not be an argument at all over size, blitzwing was confirmed as a voyager, it is just some really ill-informed people think he will be a deluxe
to those ill-informed people:
VOYAGER, VOYAGER, VOYAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to those ill-informed people:
VOYAGER, VOYAGER, VOYAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | More important than his size, when is he going to be released? He doesn't seem to be part of the first few waves, but I'd hate to have to wait until next year or something before this hits shelves...

to those ill-informed people:
VOYAGER, VOYAGER, VOYAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | I'd love to agree with you but for some reason your posts sound kinda childish, and that kind of makes me want him not to be Deluxe.
And I hope he isn't so I can feel better inside in some sick-nerdy way.
Oh by the way, his jet mode is barely any different from his tank mode in size, he just got the jet nose which isn't gigantic and the ebay sellers all said he's deluxe.

and the only reason there is an argument over blitzwing's size is that universe galvatron was said to be an ultra and turned out to be a deluxe
the truth on that....they SAID they wanted to do a galvatron and it PROBABLY would be an ultra, but it wasn't 100% confirmed like blitzwing's was
Ravenxl7:
He definetly looks better in these pictures, and also appears to be a Voyager. Here's hoping that he comes with at least two sets of missles. The flame one's look pretty cool. I'd even settle with the ice one's being the same mold, but just tinted blue instead of orange. It's going to be tough waiting for him to come out. Hopefully he comes out around November-December. That way I can either get him for Christmas, or buy him with some birthday money.
shroobmaster:
Actualy the reason is because of some crazy Internet list, and because the Ebay seller said he is Deluxe.

Oh well.
tigermask44:
looks great!!!

Oh well. | Yeah, while that would have been awesome, I can see how that would have been hard for them to do. Especially with the fireing missles gimmick. In the end, I'd actually rather have the fireing missles than have them bend down over his shoulders.
Johnator:
Yikes that doesn't even look like a tank to me. Pass.
Soundwave84:
wow i would still be okay buying this figure!
DINOBOTT:
Suprisingly, Blitzwing's figure is looking very good. (The jet looks much better in these pics.) I wasn't expecting to like it this much. My guess is that the robot mode will be tall--lockdown tall--which is alright by me.

Also, the tank mode is deffinately mis-transformed as the wings of the jet mode are stil straight. What's the point of putting a hinge in the wings if they don't use it in transformation?

that might actually be the worst transformer i've ever seen.

When he wasn't scaring you, which is like never.
microclone:
i know the depth can be very difficult to judge in photos but im guessing hes actually a voyager. the tips of the wings are supposed to be pushed down like a shield over the front of the tank.
the deluxes look quite small to bulkhead in alt mode right? well just try to imagine moving blitwings tank mode up to bulkhead so he was about the same size as BB or ratchet, there just isnt the distance, well as i imagine it there isnt, before he was delux size in this 2d shot hed be past bulkhead by several inches, i'll stick my neck out and say that hes a voyager, he does look rather complex for a delux. in fact i'd say anybody whos thinking thats a delux is on some nice friday afternoon additives.
joopsta:
In these pics he sure does look better. But I want to see more poses in robot and jet mode before I'm willing to pay a lot for him.

Everybody knows that! How the hell the only person with him in hand right now CAN'T TRANSFORM THE FREAKING TANK RIGHT!?
Fort Max:
He's looking much better here, it never ceases to amaze me how much damage some crappy pictures from someone with no clue can do to a toy's rep.
Rumble02:
I cant wait to get this figure
Locke:
I like the fact that the tank doesn't look like a real tank. Scale is something that bothers me (I know, TFs have never been concerned with scale), and with the scifi tank, it's easy to imagine that it's a very large tank that is indeed the size of a plane.
Kaijumaster:
By all that is right and Sweet... YES!

to those ill-informed people:
VOYAGER, VOYAGER, VOYAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | only 2 things-
1) where was it confirmed as a voyager? and
2) someone contacted the seller, who confirmed him as a deluxe
just wondering your response to that

Personally, I think these pictures here are proof enough for the moment to call him a Voyager class figure. Realistically he hasn't been confirmed either way. Even with Hasbro stating him to be a Voyager last year, it could have changed. We most likely won't know till Botcon, or if we get something before than that somehow officially declares him to be a certain size class.

Predaking:
These new pics only make me want it that much more. Could this toy be better designed? Sure but it stays true to the animated series 100% and if it's a Voyager then it's even better. But if it's a Voyager I can see myself owning two at the most due to the price. Still it's a very sweet toy that I can't wait to get my hands on. What's the ETA for Blitzwing toy?
Brandon:
Looks better in these pics.
