    Technically, to be accurate, the G in MiG should always be capitalized. :p

    I'm still looking forward to this. At least it isn't going to go the way of vector labs or whatever.

    This is slowly growing on me. I really like chibi toon accurate jet. I mean why everything needs to be based on real vehicles. And lack of horizontal stabilizers doesn't bother me. It is how it should be. Bring it on soon!

    This doesn't make arguments meaningless. People were "discussing" which source should a Blitzwing toy be based on: the actual plane, the original toy or the cartoon.

    For me, any one will work -- I won't skip Blitzwing just because the plane has the "wrong" look -- but I prefer the cartoon one. :p  I don't mind whether the horizontal stabilizers are there or not.

    But there is nothing cool about Blitzwing's "jet" mode

    I think it's cool, interesting and unique. Kinda same as Slugslinger and double cockpit jet.

    I’m not a cartoon stickler at all, but for whatever reason for Blitzwing and Astrotrain I am. I just find those combinations of weird shapes very pleasing.

    I would LOVE a BB Blitzwing with an accurate alt-mode. Not the stubby, SD things we've gotten so far...

    What's wrong with that? The F-4 Phantom is a classic aircraft. And bot mode is not too shabby either.

    Nothing wrong with the g1 or BB designs of Blitzwing. Bayverse whinging is kinda played out.

    So long as they finally make one that transforms where that top canopy front and the chest/abs canopy actually combine to form the whole canopy/cockpit instead of one part or the other being fake...and it's not A3U sized? I'd be about that.
