New Pictures of Animated Blitzwing!

Interesting. So it seems that Blitzwing's jet mode wasn't mistransformed in the auction.

It also looks like he'll be taller than Lugnut, who, if I remember correctly, is a Voyager figure. Not bad... for a "deluxe" figure.

Geuss this confirms his size class!

Thats the biggest deluxe ever!

Totally rocks some serious afterburner , too bad I only collect G1 and Masterpieces as there's no money for all. But I'd choose Animated over the Movie for sure, they're doing an excelent job on the show and the figures, and it has a lot of G1 on it. Maybe I'll buy my favorites from the show, including this one.

Blitzwing has to be a Voyager according to those pics, or at least a Voyager sized Deluxe like Lockdown. I don't really care either way though now, it has great articulation, transformation and the jet mode looks much better in these pics.

Aiight next up.....Blurr Pix

I think so too.

His tank and jet modes look like something out of Advance Wars.
I like the robot mode mucho though. There is no way that is a deluxe.

Not without certain flaws, but I'll take it nonetheless.

The thing that bothers me the most is his upper legs. See if you can spot the problem here:



I'd happily take it over the 'Thundercracker' Movie Starscream repaint I picked up yesterday. Starscream also has a kibble-tastic jet mode. At least Blitzwing has an excuse.

I'm going to have to disagree. I think the robot mode is weakest of the three. The vehicle modes feel very 'Advance Wars,' but I think that's why they work. Despite being war machines, they are still funny-looking and dare I say cute. I think the idea of a jet fighter with tank treads to be hilariously over-the-top (in a good way), and the tank mode sort of reminds me of a Cobra HISS Tank, so major points there as well.

I still don’t like the jet very much and they could have done much better, but he might worm his way into my collection anyway.

This CAN'T be a deluxe fig...
I mean, Lockdown is huge because of his alt mode, but look how much bulk Blitzwing has...
This leads me to beleive there has to be a Leader class Lugnut sometime in the future. I mean, we have 2 autobot Leaders confirmed but only 1 decepticon.

Out of all the animated Decepticons, Blitzwing was my favorite. The only animated Autobots I'm liking is Prowl Jazz Ultra Magnus and *maybe* Ratchet. All of the Decepticons though I've liked so far, so I'd be spending more of my money on those ones.

Blitzwing is on the top of my list though. I like the tank and jet modes (though the jet mode is pushing it with those treds), and the robot mode looks awesome, plus the character is great, so the second I see him I'm buying him.

Also, would it kill people to forgive the way the jet mode looks? Yes it looks like crap, but look at the G1 Blitzwing, he's really not much better with a tank turret on the underside of the jet.
