    yeah he has 1 of the cooler transformations in the studio series line so far.

    realy seems to be a runner up for best studio series voyager so far.

    Robot mode looks really, really good, but dang, you'd think they could have made the alt mode look a tiny bit more on-model even if they couldn't use the real F-4... at least have the wings protruding from the bottom of the fuselage instead of the top.

    I\'ll wait for a 3rd party to release an F-4 accurate one, Or just go without Blitzwing. Robot mode looks nice but that jet and paint scheme with gray front looks bad IMO.

    Ahh, I really don't care for realism and such and I'm not a plane-enthusiast, but that jetmode looks awful. Especially compared to Shatters, hers is just super sleek.

    Transformation and bot mode look amazing though, so I'm in.

    I'm glad Hasbro corrected Blitzwing's head after the whitewashing controversy. :lolol

    Is... is that head translucent orange and has just been painted? Whaaaaaat. 

    I am in for the realism. It\'s fine if they couldn\'t get the rights for the F4. Im just glad I bought a model kit. Some serious custom is gonna be done to this guy.

    The transformation reminds me somewhat of the old Breakaway/Thrust figure from the HftD line.
    Quite interesting and enjoyable looking. Also looks pretty solid.

    That jet mode....for me is ....I think its the worst. Its so bad it takes away from the bot mode for me...... I'm a fan of the BB movie, but how did they get Shatter sooo right at deluxe scale and completely destroy Blitzwings alt at Voyager???

    Also they couldnt make made up jet a little sleeker. It looks like a jet on top and random pieces of a jet on the bottom....the arms aren't even hidden at all and the feet are on the side of the tail.


    Wait....could it be, that it looks so bad because its intended to be remolded into the Cybertronian Seeker design???? Transformers-Bumblebee-Movie-Seekers01 (3).jpg bumblebee-11--1150431-1280x0.jpeg febc952175ec64c0347c40354abbf1d9.jpg ThrustBB.jpg

    I find the faux cockpit chest most interesting. Mostly because Studio Series has kept "cheats" with faux parts to a minimum. Not a complaint, just an observation.

    Looking forward to this guy.

    Aside from jet Shatter, Roadbuster, Grimlock (who was by design, as he has two faux head shoulder pads in the CGI design), and part of Sentinel Prime, I haven't noticed an overabundance.
