There's an auction on eBay for animated Blitzwing with some pics:

My lord, that is beautiful. Looks even better than I hoped for...

OMG he looks awesome, just the seller seems to have mistransformed his altmode, or is that his forth mode?

The robot actualy looks pretty nice, the jet is a bit stubby. I can understand why though, with the size of the robot, it should make for a intresting transformation.

Wonder what the tank will look like though?

If that's not mistransformed then that's one seriously fugly alt mode.

And it doesn't bode well for the other alt mode.

I like the robot mode, and I know the alt mode is probably mistransformed, but that plane looks kind of pathetic. Too much like FAB Starscream. The robot mode does look good enough to me, for me to think about getting this guy.

yep definatly gonna get that guy!!

Thats Animated for ya!

Again what I look forward to seeing is how that tiny little jet turns into the rather tall robot. Hopefuly it'll make for more than the average flip, twist, done transformation.

The jet mode looks bad enough for the thing to be a deluxe! If not mistransformed, it might be compromised for the tank mode, which, uh, might look better. But that's a great robot mode!

Man, I can't wait to get Blitzwing, he looks really cool!

::Looks at pictures::

Nevermind, I didn't realize his third mode had changed from 'Jet' to 'short-bus jet'

Sean Long bought this figure so let's hope it ships fast for a review(then we can get some size comparisons to determine if it's Voyager or Deluxe)! I can't wait to pick this up in stores, I just hope his jet mode is mistransformed, but I was going to display him in bot mode anyway so it dosen't matter much, now lets get some pics of his tank mode.

Well! This certainly isn't where I expected to see the first full pictures of Blitzwing. But UGH! That jet mode is frickin' hideous! I knew that it would possess his tank tracks kibble, but I never imagined they would be that prominent. It clearly looks like an F-15 has crashed on top of a tank, and is about as aerodynamic as Broadside. A disappointing third mode then - a common occurence among triple-changers. Let's hope the tank mode makes up for it.

That is the tank mode

Actually he reminds me of G2 Dreadwing a little.

Thats a deluxe and I basic this off amount of plastic on the figure ........


PPL lets remember that maybe the seller didnt have a clue how 2 transform him when he 1st sto....I mean magical got it so the hideous jet/tank mode was his attempt and then he was like F it and jus took a picture and hurry up 2 put it online

But all n all, the Bot mode alone is good anuff to buy and he far look better then Octane/Tankor in the classics line

Well I want to wait and see some official pictures or at least better ones before I pass final judgement on Animated Blitzwing, but even if that is how his jet mode looks I think I'll still get him because his robot mode it awesome and I've never ad a Blitzwing toy before and he is one of my favorite tripe changers. So here's hoping there is a video review of him soon.

well, the jest/ish mode looks... poopy.
but it's a must have anyway.

Its been hit or miss with animated imo. But that is a freaking gem!

I think the robot mode looks spot on (except for his tiny, tiny hands)

The jet mode has to be mistransformed, maybe the treads fold upwards to the body to hide better? Or back to make the jet appear longer?

Either way I am not gonna look a gift horse in its mouth (they have cavities sometimes ) I'm just glad I got to see his toy in general and not concept art, no matter what the apparent flaws

I love it, a definate must have for me and I do hope that jet mode is mistransformed.

Deluxe size? Well damn. So much for my hopes of a decently scaled set.

Can't you see it's an homage to G1 Blitzwing?
Hasbro has simply improved upon the original's lack of aeordynamic qualities!

What are the odds that Hasbro is going to bust this auction too? If i were bidding, I'd do so with trepidation...

That is indeed an awesome figure! When it hits the stores (so normal people can afford it), I will be getting one!

Looks like HASBRO was only doing the ebay crackdown for a day. I'm probably in the minority big time with this, but I don't like it. The faces are meh and that tank/jet mode is atrocious.

The robot mode looks great, but that "jet" mode...
