Transformers ANIMATED Voyager Class BLITZWING Triple Changer REVIEW

[@tyeohno]

My son and I are currently rewatching TF:A. I really regret not buying any of the figures when they were first released. As an 80's kid who never lost their love for Transformers, I truly believe that the Animated line is one of the best ever produced.

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

It really really is, they even managed to create the illusion of mass shifting. Hot Rods toy "appears" to mass shift insanely well.

[@PraetorGix]

Indeed. The character designs and overall aesthetics are horrendous but the toy adaptations are incredible.

[@Phantoon]

You're not wrong.

[@rekaletaqsegak7660]

[@allmatrixstudios1424]

Animated designs were perfect. You can especially see it with this blitz wing. Every mode is perfect imo, I don’t mind the treads on the jet but it’s much much better than the legacy imo.

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

Some of them even give the illusion of mass shifting like Sentinel Prime and Hot Rod's toys. It's crazy how drastic their sizes look in and out of vehicle modes.

[@necronguy4661]

I forgot how cool some of these animated designs were. We need more in legacy.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Ikr?! With prowl let’s hope it’s a possibility!

[@shockcrusher8956]

They put too much g1 in the Figures from other continuities. So they won't be so accurate to the original toy.

Transformers Animated Voyager Blitzwing is the definition of simple but effective. In my opinion, every mode cleans up so well that it's better than his Legacy counterpart. Edit: I would love to see you do a review on Animated Soundwave with Laserbeak.

Blitzwing will probably come to us alongside Lugnut, he'll be in the Age of the Primes line and hopefully he'll have his three faces to alongside his three forms.

[@Auhso117]

I agree with “Blitzwing” in the intro lol. Animated Bliztwing has always been my fav version of the character. The 3 personality thing was a new change for the character

[@blairtimusprime8770]

This guy brings back memories from when I was a Teenager in the 00's. I used to love watching this during the weekends. I'd love to see Hasbro bring back a Megatron or a Soundwave

[@migatron1]

They killed it with the Transformers Animated figures!

[@danc3127]

Love the retro review. These toys were on another level. Still has a prominent spot on my shelf. As for other Animated toys to hunt down, it’s rare, but Jetpack/Hydrodive Bumblebee was by far the best Bee animated toy they made. Satisfying transformation with the front end appropriately becoming the feet and he scales perfectly to the other Autobots. Especially if you have leader Bulkhead.

[@thedragonslayer7294]

Animated and Prime did a phenomenal job making the toys look as accurate to the animation as possible. Except for…Airachnid 💀

[@obnoxiouslegofan]

APC toys: 😏😏😏😏😏

[@davidm4566]

Generally they make the toy designs first so I guess the toy designers made them with animation in mind and the animators didn't make too many changes here.

[@SPGojiFan]

For me, I want Starscream and Lugnut to get massive improvements. I did hear conversations about Studio Series expanding beyond the films, and deciding that Animated and Prime be the first of TV Shows to go into that line. As a diehard Animated fan, I actually want to see it's grand to return in some shaper form. We somewhat got a 3 part episode of Season 4...but as a draft. And now we're getting a Legacy Prowl which doesn't look too bad

[@michaellombardi1620]

I adored Derrick's designs. What a legend

[@virtualpellot933]

Blitzwing since the G1 days and later in Animated days has always been one of my favorites (getting smoked so quickly in the 2018 movie triggered me). I wish he could appear in the new TV show Earthspark.

[@ThatGuyYouShouldKnow]

Ugh out of all figures from Animated, it's Blutzwing, Longarm/Shockwave (which I would explode if they drop in legacy) and and Jetfire were imo 10/10 design and toys. So much fun!!!!

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Jetfire looks cool! I think I have the animated version that combines

[@connorgoonman9500]

This blitzwing is the best designed. I will die on this hill.

[@Stunseed-x9q]

[@TFfangeek]

Great review PrimeVsPrime!!! This remains one of my favorite versions of Blitzwing, as well as the first Blitzwing figure I added to my collection, and its one of my all time favorite Animated figures. Keep on being amazing.

[@wintermute8315]

One of the absolute coolest transformers I've ever seen. Would have loved this as a kid.

[@kingnewcomer2029]

YES!! Really happy to see Blitzwing be the next Animated figure review! :D One of my favorite designs from the show, and probably even my favorite Blitzwing design to date as I just love the German-like appearance, and accent, and the best feature without a doubt being his face-swapping gimmick that's brought over to the Voyager Class toy (don't know about the other versions of this guy)! I really do miss toys that had gimmicks like this (well, as long as they were good gimmicks like Voyager Class Animated Blitzwing's face-swap), and of course weapons that actually fired, specifically spring-loaded ones! I agree, it is a shame that we don't see the same plastic quality build on most of the Transformers figures these days anymore as it really make the Studio Series versions even better, and these older figures even had pinned-joints so they're not gonna be coming off every time you transform the figures! Another solid retro review, PVP!

[@Dixie1969]

It is sad seeing the quality drop between nowadays, studio series and stuff like this because back then in the early 2000s they wanted to make great toys with fun, gimmicks and transformations with good durable plastic but now they just try their best to make something that looks like someone’s favorite transformer with shitty plastic that will break and I am kind of mad at the designers because I recently bought the car studio series dropkick only for the tail light thing to break off because of clear plastic and that is a stupidly, expensive and hard to find figure

Yeah, Blitzwing got an updated version... of his G1 self. He's fun, but if you got Lugnut, they go well together.

[@liam-gf5rp]

I would recommend you check out the deluxe bumblebee. At first glance, I also thought the takara version was superior because it was much more accurate, but the deluxe mainline is a really cool figure, as time went on I started to like the normal deluxe version more as I started to see more about it; it has a smart and fun transformation and very good articulation (even more than ver. takara), besides the feet that are not accurate, the rest of the figure represents the animated bumblebee better and has the right colors. He also has his weapons as gimmicks and rockets as accessories.

[@beatrixwickson8477]

Great review! I never collected the original TFA toys, so it's interesting to get these retro reviews. It would be helpful to have one modern figure like Earthrise Prime for alt mode comparisons, just because I don't know how big any of them are and comparing within the same line doesn't tell me anything. Cheers!

[@cybercon98]

The tank tabbing into the feet for jet mode blew my mind! I never thought of that 😅 of course i dont own the instructions so idk if it was in them or not

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

It's been a real treat seeing the Animated line finally get some respect/attention after all these years. Upon release most fans I feel felt the line was too childish and were for the most part pretty dismissive of the toys. This is only the second Blitzwing I've owned, the other being that Generations release from however many years go. It was painful to see how subpar to the Animated one it was in terms of plastic quality, engineering and alt modes of which both failed. The only memorable thing about it was the rifle and sword accessories included. The three face gimmick also is stuck on mine since release so manually forcing it is the best option. Psycho Blitzwing has always been my favorite as well. Really excited for an upsized Lugnut if it really happens.

[@Bmontepeque11]

Yes, review Bumblebee, please! :) Transformers Animated is one of the best of the best eras of Transformers out there, great toys, great cartoon, great story, great designs, it's amazing! To me the definitive versions of the Transformers Characters are either the Animated ones of the Prime ones!

[@renegadechic]

Really fun to see these. One line I think would be cool to look at is RID2001. Following all the Beast Wars stuff it signalled a real change in direction and momentum, but got really overshadowed by Armada. Figures like Megatron and Optimus were really cool in that line. And there were fun combiners. The show is really fun too. More of a comedy than Armada was.
