New Images of Blitzwing's alt modes!

The plane looks better, the Tank is not bad, but its hard to tell which way is the front, if only by the treads.
As for size, well seeing Lugnut, and bulkhead there kinda gives a feel that he is in fact Voyager.

Seeing as this line's voyagers have been a bit on the short side.


Now I'd love a side pick to confirm the correctness of the Jet mode transformation, but I still think having the treads just be there blatantly under he plane can't be right.

Still It look pretty good.

Definite must buy for me.

I like it. But I think it’s a deluxe. First, the two toys it is shown next to are pathetically small for their size class, Blitzwing is even smaller. Now if he is a voyager, there’ll be a lot of space in that box.

I’m betting he’s a big deluxe like Lockdown.

I agree with you on the size class, but I'm not sure about the "transformed correctly". You're implying that the eBay auction is mistransformed, but you can't really tell judging by these photos. I need to see a shot of the jet from the side before I decide whether or not the auctioned Blitzwing is mistransformed. I doubt it is.

Actually it's pretty obvious. The ebay one has a crooked humped top, while this one
is flat.






see the difference?

Yes, you're correct about that. But I think the main conern is that huge tank kibble underneath the jet. I still believe that's how it's supposed to look in the auction, although it's not as obvious in these photos because of the camera angle.

His tank mode remind me of a deform off white cobra Hiss tank

I cant judge 2 much on his jet mode jus yet

I think there's going to be treads on the bottom no matter what. That's how it was portrayed in the concept art. As for this possibly being a deluxe, I doubt it. Lockdown has a large robot mode due to is transformation, but a rather normal sized car. Even if the tank and jet modes are short, and maybe pretty small for a Voyager box, I don't think it could fit well in a Deluxe box. I'm betting it's a Voyager.

Total WANT!

Now THAT'S how I imagined his altmodes would look!

Look at the treads they look different
The one in tank mode covers up more of his arm, and the top of the tread looks closer to the wing right?

Very not bad...I'm liking the tank mode best...anything with two honking guns is just win in my eyes...

They look better in this. I'll get his toy for certain.

Nice, if Blitzwing isn't voyager then he's definitly voyager-sized like Lockdown. Tank mode looks cool and Jet mode looks much better.

Looking good, but I still like the bot mode the best!

Will there be any sirprises left for Botcon? We've seen all the exclusives, pretty much...we think anyway. We've seen Animated Blitzwing, and many finished Universe toys... How are they going to blow us away?

How about Animated Omega Supreme would that do?


Unlikely? Yes. But still possible.

Did any of you hear about those Classics ACTION MASTERS?!

jet modes cool but tank mode looks like a purple and white blob

Definitely not impressed with the tank mode... But at the same time, I'm glad it's not too similar to movie Brawl, or even Galvatron.
It's good it's different.
The jet mode is on point.
Overall, still a good figure, and one that I'll buy.

Next on my list of Blitz pics... posability shots, especially concerning his guns. I want to see what if any projectiles come with him too.

Still hoping the face detail shots we've seen aren't final. If they are, I'll have to find a really thin painbrush and find out what type of paint the kitbashers use.

Not too bad looking. Neither form is quite what I had expected but that makes it intresting.

At first I thought you were just imagining it, but you may actually be right. Take a close look at the sections I've highlighted:



You can see by the position of those two grey parts that the arms are meant to tuck in underneath the fuselage and the treads brought further up. Perhaps the auctioned Blitzwing is even more mistransformed than I first thought.

As I suspected, the jet mode looks much better when the panels are correctly aligned. It makes the plane portion seem larger in relation to the treads(which just aren't going to disappear no matter what)

Incidently, I believe even the tank mode presented here may be slightly mis-transformed. If you look at the instructions, it appears that the wings are supposed to hinge down at the front of the tank.

Compare:


with

that's better I'm buyin him.

I cannot wait for this figure ^^

im ready to have this statement falsified or verified as soon as we see blitz box.

BLITZWING IS A VOYAGER.

sure bulkhead has a short robo mode but his alt mode is obviously voyager size when hes next to BB and ratchet, theres no way that this is a delux, the tank is a highly folded blitzwing and he still looks close to bulkheads size. if anything his robo modes is going to really quite big. its a very cool toy, like something from 'metal slug'.

Looks like a Fisher Price toy.

mistransformed how can you say that these figures are made to be basic looking and to be transformed very easly compared and not alot of detail when transformed into robot mode to the other figures of the transformers series.

nice look but i never would have thought to change to jet to tank mode you just take cannons from the tan and put the cannons on the bottom to form the jet still good looking though

I like the bot mode, and the alts are show acurate, however they also suck.

Thank You Animated

That is SO YAY!!
Sorry, I'm sorta in a gay mood today.
Not that it's gonna kill anyone anyway.

Careful what you write

I'm not too impressed with this particular figure. Both alt modes leave a lot to be desired. Perhaps they should have made him a Voyager so he could have more room to focus on the transformation and details and conceal more parts.

we need a vote on this.

i say hes a voyager but will be quite happy if this level of detail is accomplished in a $10 delux as I prefer small toys.

I agree deluxe, since he has to stand in for Classics Blitz in the triple changer line up, mine as well keep at least them all to scale.

One thing I can say about having all 3 main Con Triple changers. They aren't acurate in lots of ways, but each will be unique in it's own sorta way.

I'm actualy looking forward to that.

Hmmm... I love the jet mode!!!! I just wish that we could see a side view of it to verify how much tank kibble is visible; and so we can see how long the nose cone really is. As for the tank mode, it's good My only problem with it is the turret. It seems kinda small in my opinion. It should be a little bit bigger. I also would have liked to see a "telescoping" feature on those guns as well. All in all, I'll be looking out for this figure once it's finally released

Deluxe would suit me, as Voyager Lugnut isn't all that big... and he's supposed to be the big one.

but going by the pictures it looks to me like they have gone voyager for Blitzwing.

To be honest I'd prefer if they did the classicverse triplechangers at a larger scale and Blitzwing at deluxe. It would make more sense.

I have to say i'm generally disappointed with the designs of the animated line. The jet mode's passable but the tank mode just doesn't work for me.

Then in that case his alt modes are extra yucky.

Seconded. There is something about small toys that just fascinates me, plus I don’t get worries about room.

OMG! lovin' the alt modes. I think the turret should face the other way on the tank if it can. I have a feeling it won't rotate. Shame.
Seriously though, in the recent "Blitz" (lol!) of information, he looks brillig to me. He will be mine one day.. one day..
My vote goes on deluxe. That way the 5 Autobots and Decepticons together will have 5 deluxes, and 5 voyagers if you count cybertron Megatron. Also it's £10 cheaper so yay!

hes to bulky and you can see the tank parts in the jet

Nice.

The tank mode looks cool (quite cybertronian-like), and the jet does look a lot better.

Look carefully at the rear-view shot of his tank mode. His turret is rotated slightly.


Whether it can do 360 degree turn is yet to be seen. But it looks like it might be able to do that.


Sean Long has an Animated Blitzwing on the way to him I've read, so hopefully transformersmatrix will do a nice ol video review for us.

Nice! I'm very excited about the Tfs Animated figs. and can't wait to get my hands on them!

Blitzwing looks really nice I love the tank mode.

According to the instructions, the turret is the right way around, and it does rotate.

Though if you see my earlier post, I believe the front of the tank is mistransformed(the wings should fold down).

I said I think. I often do the opposite of what the instructions say if I reckon it looks better that way. No kitbashing or anything though.

I am so having the turret rotated the other way round in jet mode.

too bad he has these ugly tracks in his jet mode it would've been nicer if they at least did something to merge them more with the jet.

Anyone check page 2 on that thread? They put up more pics. Definately Voyager class.

I dunno. I wouldn't want a Leader class Lugnut, but given the voyager's diminutive size, maybe they should've done Blitzwing on deluxe scale. He almost looks leader class here.

Nice one Bumblethumper! He looks good!
