Tf Fan Rob contacted us to let us know that after seeing us post about the new Bumlebee Ratchet toy, he just had to get it and make a review. And we are glad because we can now share that with you to give you the best look yet at the figure. While it is easy to dismiss this figure, we shouldn't discount the fact that it is a brand new mold for movie Ratchet, as well as the first movie Ratchet to turn into an actual ambulance. Enjoy the video review of Transformers: Bumblebee Energon Igniter Power Series Ratchet below!

As I'm sure you may know, there is a new jet Blitzwing in the Nitro size class, with, well, a movie accurate head sculpt. But, today, we have what may be a new variant. As I'm sure you also may remember, Blitzwing from the Animated show had three faces, something unique to that version. Well, this upcoming Blitzwing figure has a possible new variant, based of a mix of the original, and the crazy face, from the Animated version. This was found from a "Ken Adrian" on Facebook, though it appears to be from a closed group. However, User:FigureGunplaFan did upload it to TFWiki.net. Superb!

So thoughts on this guy's face? Tell us your thoughts in those Pub forums below!

I'm sure Optimus would find it a lovely addition to his collection :3

[Randomhero]

That looks less like animated Blitzwing crazy face and more like they just wanted more light piping on movie Blitzwing face

[Rainmaker]

Is that the entire head or is that only half of it?

[Ominous Sand]

The hell? That’s terrifying!

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Terrorcon Blitzwing? I'm down!

For comparison sake here's the standard head.

The lack of bot details in the red space does feel a lot like a movie version of the Animated/Generations crazy head sculpt.

Now, that is the stuff nightmares are made of...


I love it

"DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE?!?!"

Now I've got that out of my system, that's an awesome homage. Though I will say I'm a bit sad we're not now going to get a movie with Blitzwing in where he either has the face changing thing or has three heads.

[GreenGald]

I think this face would actually be a good substitute to the original if he had this feature in the movie.
Me liky this head.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Now I'm hoping to eventually find this variant instead of the original, that is an awesome looking face!

Ah never mind then...

[Black Bumblebee]

Is it possible that this face is under the other standard face and the standard face just sort of... hooks (?) onto this face?

[Octobotimus]

turns out that hasbro actually made a face swap feature with him!!

You'll recall a recent news post where we showed off a second head on Bumblebee Movie Nitro Blitzwing that was believed at the time to be a head variant. Turns out the head bearing a movie-style resemblance to Animated Blitzwing's crazy face wasn't the only thing the two figures have in common. Thanks to a photo gallery on Facebook by Arhi Manta we now know that Blitzwing does in fact have both the standard and "crazy" head on the figure thanks to a face changing gimmick on the figure. In the photo below we can see the second head visible through a door on the back of the figure.







Big thanks to Seibertronians Octobotimus and Fc203 for bringing this to our attention! Does this reveal get you excited for the new Blitzwing figure or just make you more hopeful for a Studio Series version? Sound off in the Energon Pub!

I thought I'd never want to buy a Transformers from that Nitro category.
Guess I was wrong.

Same here, all I need now is to see his articulation

There was a link to a short gallery in the article. The arms are passable, but the legs are nonexistent.
