    Am I the only one who dislikes this? Nice try and the best of all who dare to smash a convincing jet and tank together but other than that I find this a disgrace on Blitzwing, tbh. Partsforming and too obvious tank parts in Jet form are a no go for me. A jet needs to be sleek, imo. If it doesnt look like it could fly and even uses partsforming to remain in a somewhat plainlike shape, it is a failed attempt. But thats just me as it seems, so dont bother about my words ^^

    Sorry for my harsh critique! ;)

    Let me first say, that everyone is certainly entitled to their owe opinion & I'm not afraid of harsh critiques.
    however, your just down right rude. Calling anyones custom a disgrace is just uncalled for & is the most insulting part of your post.
    Fine you don't like it, I can dig that. My ego's not so big, that I expect everyone to love my work. But seriously, A disgrace? I think not.
    Bloody well amazes me how people in a fandom that revolves around giant Transforming Robots can be so fucking closed minded about any type of change from the "norm"
    Tell you what, make one better & let me know once your done.

    Re: Lucid Dreamer:
    While I too don't think this was as well done as even Nemesis Predaking wanted it, I don't think there is cause for any level of bashing here. Even the G1 and more recent Animated toys are far from sleek, with G1's wings being as thick as the tank. Hardly aerodynamic. As a plus, it also hardcore partformed, the tank turret simply detaching and being useless in jetmode. The only Blitzwing design that may be possible without partsforming is the first War Within design but that would suffer in botmode for the twin vehicles.

    I think this is one of the better if not the best custom Classics Blitzwings we're going to see until Hasbro gets off their ass and gives us an official one. Or Fansprojects does it. Whichever comes first.

    EDIT: Beaten to it by the person I was defending. I can live with that. :)

    Luciddreamer-To be fair, EVERY blitzwing ever made has suffered from what you are talking about, even back to G1. This is one of the cleanest I have ever seen. The one(s) I've seen that work alright in alt modes have alot of kibble hanging off of them for robot. triple changers are all about compromise.

    NP- can you get a more dynamic shot of the bot mode? All the ones you posted are very "rigid", and I think that would add alot of life to you creation. Also, I can't quite figure out where those treads came from. i scanned the posts but didn't see anyone mention it. i could have just missed it.
    Looks cool though!

    Randy!

    Thanks
    Blitz was finished last year & is way in the back of my collection. So I won't be adding any new pics. I'm not one for posing my TF anyways, that's why most of my pics are rigid.
    As for the treads, they are from a Classics 2pack Tank Megs.

    Seriously. I think you tackled the challenge quite well.

    Yeah, and I'm super glad to see that this thread got bumped. Not saying I really appreciated the negative post that did so, but oh well.

    In general, yeah, jets do need to be sleek. However, the character in question here is Blitzwing, and his jet mode isn't "sleek". Consider:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Both designs are boxy jets. Frankly, it's never bothered me that the tank treads for NP's here are visible in jet mode.

    Are either designs "sleek". I don't think so. But is this custom a "disgrace" to the design and character to "BLITZWING"? I'd say that's pretty far removed as well.
