    Yikes! They specifically asked if Berzerk would be released in 2023 and the answer was not likely.

    My question is How TF when most of their upcoming slate have painted prototypes. What else is there besides the last aerial bots, stunticons and the body of Fort max?

    Because you don't know what hyperbole is, you react poorly. Ok.

    If you take a light hearted statement like that so seriously then maybe it's time to take a step back and assess your emotional over-attachment to the topic and move on.

    Seeing as how this is from the same designer has TE Prime, DS Seekers/Blaster, it will likely be of good build quality. This will certainly light a fire under FT to get theirs done.

    Preorders available at ShowZ
    [Pre-Order] Star Toy ST-01 Blitzwing

    Taobao?? I'm torn between PO'ing on Taobao or waiting 3-6 months after it drops on ShowZ to see if they do a huge price drop like they've done with DS and TE.

    That's a great counterpoint, man. You seem like a truly brilliant dude and therefore you've bested me in this internet duel. *tips fedora*

    Seriously, go argue with someone who wants it. You overreacted to an exaggeration/joke. I obviously dont really think youre in a cult. I just think you have gross aesthetic tastes. Get over it.

    The figures from this designer have a history of going on clearance, which is surprising given how good they look (if you are a toon fan).

    I would get one figure first. If it goes on clearance, will get another for alt-mode. :)

    Not only do those figures from that designer look good, but their quality is very good as well.

    Hmmmm really digging the design and what I am seeing so far, as I am lacking a good Blitzwing in my collection, but I will wait until I see the final paint job to pull the trigger for this figure.

    For me, this is mostly true of Season 1. I want Season 1 toon look, not toy.

    There are still many exceptions in S2, but toon mostly becomes toy look without kibbles (i.e. clean bot mode).

    Just wondering, can the legs be pulled out so that it has a more traditional plane mode?

    It never dawned to me Blitzwing was a MiG until I read about it. I thought he was a made-up plane. :p

    "Technically" they can? The problem is, the lower legs extend outwards when transformed, so they're spaced out at the back. Plus it leaves the upper legs exposed, which makes him look he has the armor peeled away and is revealing some kind of funky airframe underneath at the center of the plane. And of course, the tailfins don't slide back with the feet, since they're attached to the wings.

    But technically? Yes. And it...kinda has a traditional look to it, with all the bits described above.

    Looks like Transform Element is going with a new naming scheme.
