Transformers Generations Voyager Sandstorm Confirmed to have New Head and Wings

It would be kinda cool to see more Osprey-like vehicles. All we have (if I remember correctly) is Obsidian from Beast Machines, Incinerator from the first movie, and Legends Springer from Revenge of the Fallen.

Don't forget G1 Highbrow, even if his rotors didn't rotate down.

Any reports on changes to the armored car?

Im glad he gets a new head sculpt but Im not digging the VOTL crap. I felt the springer copter mode was more Sandstorm than it was springer. Are the wings and helicopter blades from Springer interchangable ? I not shipping my POL for a while. If the colors dont look too off, I might consider sacrificing my springer to make a more G1 accurate Sandstorm. I already have Defender which is better scale wise.

Yes. It's a retooled Springer. We've known this for a pretty long while.

At this point, I'd be happy it they would remold Blitzwing into Broadside just to have all six triple changers. At least two out of three modes would be right.

I'm not bothered that he wasn't originally a triple-changer exactly, I'd still like a Flywheels repaint/retool for Blitzwing. Broadside wouldn't work, he's too different. I can't see a tank easily becoming an aircraft carrier. Flywheels has the same modes, and his recent comics appearances hadn't used the 2 vehicles at the same time gimmick of the Duocons anyway, so I think IDW has him just as a triplechanger.

Of course, they could release a retooled Blitzwing, in Broadside's colours, and call it Broadside, and even still have the changing face gimmick in, to give us the two models of Broadside's faces, and even the tank mode would work in a way, because "broadside" just makes me think of a cannon, and tanks have cannons. BUT it wouldn't be enough to satisfy most of the people clamouring for a Classics Broadside. I honestly think FP's Assaulter is probably the best bet for that, but then a few years back I didn't expect we'd get another, better Classics version of Springer, and yet we've had the GDO version just recently and now the triple-changing Generations one, so who knows?

I would be really happy if they made a super sweet new Skids.

I hope so.

Holy. Shit.

But where's the Osprey-esque mode?

That is beautiful.
