[@lkmaxis2678]

I like how Astrotrain came out around 2 to 3 years ago and the articulation, transformation, looks, and alt modes style Blitzwing. Even the extras they included to justify leader class were better because it was more like a mini armory for other figures than himself.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah no it's pure BS. Like sure it was weird they gave him a ton of Guns, but it's way better than a pair of Red Demolishor hands.

Yeah, the extras with Astrotrain were great! That coal cart really make the train mode pop, even if it's a bit useless in his other modes. And considering that Hasbro tends to underarm Transformers these days (up to and including sometimes not giving them any weapons at all) it was really nice they gave Astrotrain a full armory of his own.

[@megatronacepticon]

G1 Blitzwing had 2 balling alt modes and a robot mode that took the hit to make the vehicle modes good. This figure took that and flipped it, giving us a killer robot mode with two suffering alt modes.

Even the compromises of the Titans' Return jet mode are pretty cool. The Soviets had a number of ground attack or interceptor aircraft armed with big Nudelman autocannons - the most famous being the MiG-15 - so Blitzwing having a massive gun pod under the fuselage is exaggerated but fits in with his real world counterparts.

[@SidewaysPrimeYT]

Got my hands on Sludge, and I cannot believe how each Dinobot keeps getting worse and worse. Grimlock was perfect on QC and nothing liked to pop off, then Slag is slightly loose and too tight in many areas and his back wings have a chance to pop off, plus he also has weird proportions. Now take Slags issues and double it as Sludge is a mess. Legs are very loos and barely keep him up, his wings are loose as hell and will pop off as soon as possible, proportions are worse in person than in the images with skinny arms and thick legs. Only decent thing about him is that his Dino Mode is amazing and the best part of him. Still get him if you want but Rodimus Unicronus needs to kill Sludge like in the POTP show and end his suffering as the worst Dinobot (so far)

[@GhostedBLEACH]

Seems like you got a really bad case of QC. The only loose part on my sludge is one back wing, I think I got amazing QC on sludge but not for my slag, the ratchet broke immediately after one transformation… grimlock is perfect no flaws with him on my copy.

I actually love the kibble on Legacy Blitzwing, I think it looks cool as hell, I love front cones on land vehicles cause they just look cool, and this is where we just become opposites I think, cause I just love these features for no reason. Not for Blitzwing though. He's a military officer, not a road bandit. And the plane mode is obviously bad. Why are the shoulders so restricted? The shoulders alone is a dealbreaker. In case I want Tarn to behead him and flay his head open the TR one has that feature. The TR version's tank mode is better at capturing the spirit of the character than the G1 cartoon version for some reason, and the jet mode is great cause it looks like a space version of a MiG so the kibble is not a problem. I like him. Looks really cool compared to the Legacy version. And the shoulders are unrestricted. Why is that so hard? Found some TR Blitzwings online, but out of stock. I see. Now I know that I have to buy TR Triggerhappy first. So here's my planned purchases in order, incorporating your recommendations: 1. TR Triggerhappy 2. Legacy Cosmos 3. Core Shockwave 4. Core Grimlock 5. Core Ratchet 6. Legacy Bombshell TR Blitzwing and 86 Grimlock is somewhere between, whenever I can buy them. What do you think? I'm positive that Velocitron's gonna stop being Walmart exclusive, I've seen numerous Netflix Soundwaves in one store, and recently found a whole shelf of WFC Netflix Deluxes. And Buzzworthy stuff is everywhere. Phew. If I didn't remember that I would have had no hope of getting Legacy Cosmos. And Override is cool too. Notice a Happy Meal Minion toy in my first Kleiode photo? These are my little sister's, and if she buys one minion toy that isn't a Happy Meal I swear, I'll try Warpath's arm chainsaws on it. I can save MP Soundwave for later cause barely anyone knows the cartoons in my country so no one would buy. There's more weebs in my country than dedicated Transformers fans. And it's kinda sad to see that when the CHUG figures have peaked and are straight up better than high quality Gundam model kits. Look at Kingdom Cyclonus. 86 Grimlock. The Siege seekers. 86 Wreck-Gar. Kingdom Warpath. Space Bumblebee. Siege Hound. Core class anything except the Hot Rod. Kingdom Beast Megatron. Siege Optimus. How are they still overlooked?

The glorious return of the talking-about-unfair-size-in-a-funny-voice joke! Finally the alt mode of Dai Atlas has a competitor. Isn’t it sad that a 30-40$ legends figure from FansHobby out of all the legends companies, is a billion times better than this 10-20$ more expensive and double, if not triple in size leader figure?

It will always be there, waiting to be used again.

The step in his Leg is to be G1 accurate

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I guess kind of, but that Necked down a bit higher, and it was smoother.

[@mannysnav5258]

I got this figure, and I can’t stop playing with it, and I was tempted to get the titans return figure, but I just HATE how to stupid gimmick was giving to characters who NEVER needed it, and that why this figure (to me) is superior in every way Edit: also this captures the character way better, and the TR version felt like a generic triple changer

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I agree that the Gimmick was completely unnecessary and the head could have stored in the torso, but The Transformation was still amazing on that figure I think, despite the head master.

[@kariqdatmenace6642]

The whole reason for blitzwing having a cockpit in the dead center of his tank mode is the fact that when the diaclone toys where being brought from japan someone who worked on G1 mistransformed the diaclone figure that would become blitzwing cause the original fig had the cockpit at the back of the tank.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Which is the worst Justification possible.

[@TeriyakiNugget]

Hey perspective

[@PerspectiveEnd]

How are you doing?

[@InfinityBlock192]

I honestly was expecting the jet mode for Blitzwing to be goofy as hell before the leaks, but I was not expecting the tank to have an erection.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

How is it that the TR got all three modes right, but the "NEW BETTER" figure only got his robot mode.

[@rubenlopez7142]

This figure truly baffles me... I love the Blitzwing character, and I think this figure looks great in robot mode, BUT, the tank mode is ok-ish and the jet mode is a complete joke!... So I don't think I like it up to the point of buying him, specially considering the price strategy that Hasbro is following nowadays in which a ''leader class'' is basically a glorified voyager!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Well the price increase is mostly for the lower Sizeclasses, but man I can't stand the tank most of all, they went overboard in trying to be G1 accurate, but then they still wound up phoning it in.

[@rubenlopez7142]

@@PerspectiveEnd quite honestly, the alt modes are a mess!... While the robot mode looks good as a general view of the character, but the posability is just not there.

[@chapeljohn9462]

One piece of articulation you missed is the waist, it turns.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I never mention the waist, unless it's missing or excessively limited, because you should otherwise expect it to have a waist, and most waists on figures work identically. Why waste your time with articulation you totally understand without seeing?

[@chapeljohn9462]

@@PerspectiveEnd, here's what your response sounds like... 'I never mention the shoulders, unless they're missing or excessively limited, because you should otherwise expect it to have shoulders, and most shoulders on figures work identically. Why waste your time with articulation you totally understand without seeing?' And it sounds just as stupid. Figures having articulation that is missing or limited is precisely the whole POINT of mentioning articulation, you seem to have forgot about that...

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Except I do mention the shoulders because they are all different. The waist Spins. That's all the waist does. If it has one it works the same as all other waists. If it's not there I tell people. Otherwise I don't want to waste peoples time with information they already understand.

[@masontheawesome9898]

This is a good review but this has made me realize how much I’m so tired of people talking and complaining about how leaders aren’t as big. They aren’t and that’s ok. We’ve gotten some great figures like Magnus, Shockwave, Astrotrain, even Prime! This figure feels like rock bottom for the G1 accuracy that people asked for, people wanted G1 accuracy and now they get it and all people do is complain about the tank mode. I’m hoping the next leader is the worst figure ever, I don’t care if it’s supposed to be Dragon Megatron I hope it suuuuuuuuuucks.

[@windowbewbs9064]

I have no problem with voyager+ leaders, but Blitzwing is just laughable. Shockwave, Prime, and Astrotrain are good figures all around, but all Blitz has to show for that extra $30 is his robot mode, which I will admit, looks great. But when you have a leader that is smaller than the actual voyager that came out half a decade ago, and then it still doesn’t even improve on anything that same voyager did, theres an issue.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I get that, I can be OK with stuff being too small as long as it's good enough, it's just that the TR figure is both bigger and better engineered at the same time, so this is just a step back in every way. And to be fair I don't think there is a Geewunner on Earth who is happy about this, this is Going overboard with Geewunn accuracy.

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

Why on earth did they give him Hulk Hands? When would those ever be useful in any way?

[@Fruit_handler]

The jet cockpit in the front was a design error from the animation studio: it was supposed to go on the back while the "thrusters" stickers had to go on the front lmao The g1 box, instructions and even the diaclone version hide the cockpit on the back lmao

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yep, it's being stupid to be accurate to the show, which it's not even accurate to, and shouldn't have been trying to be.

Did you know that the tank mode is even wrong in g1. The cockpit is supposed to be facing backwards. It's on the g1 transformation instructions on the box.

Yes for the original toy, though the show did have it wrong the whole time, and this is doing the stupid thing of Emulating the show.

[@josiaharaki7310]

I saw another review that pointed out the "g1" design in the cartoon was an animation error because they had the turret backwards. The plane nose was supposed to be in the back and the box art of the original toy shows that as well. They also noted that the kibble seemed to be sort of based on contrast art, where you are supposed to pretend the purple bits aren't there in tank mode and Grey bits aren't there in jet mode.

Was it Gei for Mei? Yeah that's Gei For Mei. That second part was conjecture on their behalf.

@@PerspectiveEnd I'm actually currently waiting for it to arrive so I can see wether or not I'll like it. Yes it does have the weiner tank. Yes it does have the squish jet.

[@scaledbrickproductions3736]

Alr so I’m not here to juxtapose my opinion but I’ll give a quick run down on why I feel the legacy is better. 1) Robot mode is more accurate. 2) I really can’t sugar coat the TR tank. There too much purple everywhere and a bathtub on top. The wings at the back don’t help. It looks like a toy. 3) I feel the jet modes are tied. Legacy has an awkward undercarriage but it makes one cool flight stand. The sculpt has a charm too it but it’s not the best. The TR jet whilst having a superior sculpt, quite literally has the arms visible. I hate visible body parts in vehicles. Can’t stand it. 4) the TR is too large. I know scale isn’t for everyone, but it matters to many. 5) TR looks so awkward in the primary display mode. The mold poses so basically and stands out like a sore thumb in a modern chug collection. Missing many what are considered vital points.(wrists, ankles, waist). There’s many more pints but this is a YT comment. I’d love to have a chat about this figure over discord. I’m the same user who informed you of kingdom pipes having double painted wheels.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

What do you mean the Legacy has MORE purple. The entire top of the tank and part of the sides is purple, the whole Rear of the TR is purple but it's still less over all. The Jetmodes are not tied dude. Not even 1%. You may want to believe that, but it's not even close. Not even a little. I will conceded that the Legacy Tank is the best tank ever, before I concede that the jets are equal. The arms are JUST as visible on the Legacy, hell they are transformed LESS, it's just the fists wind up on the outside. Blitzwing is supposed to be a bigger than normal dude. Anyways yeah we can continue this convo on discord just DM me about it.

[@karateryguy1728]

I was planning on getting this Blitwing but looking at it more and you saying it looks awful and this video I can say I'm not touching this figure at all. What is your opinion on the Starscream coronation set that is being sold for leader price?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The Starscream wasn't good enough when it was a Voyager, slapping some opening hands on it doesn't make it a leader. I want the other stuff from the box, but I don't need a second copy of that thing.

[@josepharroyo3]
