[@HitBit_Gaming]

Finally a Blitzwing that looks really good in all 3 modes if you are looking for a MP scale G1 figure. I like it!

[@darrenbent7601]

Hardly any tank in the jet mode, and the turret completely concealed. No jet whatsoever in tank mode. A cartoon accurate robot mode. How is this possible? This is an incredible design, they must be literally wizards.

[@happysaladd8951]

The g1 cartoon however have his jet nose peaking out from the front of the tank lol

[@gjesse908]

It’s not the first time, the designer of this figure has made transform element and deformation and they all look completely toon accurate front and back.

[@fernandoflores3161]

Look at FT Berserk, it looks miles better than this...

[@richardathay3329]

@fernandoflores3161 you mean the fanstoys version they just cancelled people's preorders for and said it was not going to be produced?

[@fernandoflores3161]

@richardathay3329 ShowZ is still taking preorders. It has not been canceled by Fanstoys yet

[@sailordaigurren8225]

The way the feet firm the jet thrusters is freaking genius.

[@jadesutton9488]

I’ve been on an MP binge lately - 17 new ones this year - but this guy is easily MP of the year for me. It’ll take something crazy good to knock him off that spot.

[@karras6239]

Its amazing how tripleformers become better and better over time.

[@bloozbyblueballs5908]

Eh. Imo this one still doesn't hold a candle to DX-9 Gewalt.

[@dogman8339]

@@bloozbyblueballs5908 that is a matter of opinion. For me this obliterates Gewalt. I can even pose this dude….

[@bloozbyblueballs5908]

@@dogman8339 I guess, I just think the robot mode of Gewalt looks better, and the alt modes are sleeker, particularly the jet.

[@dogman8339]

@@bloozbyblueballs5908 I have to agree on bot mode, although gewalt isn't perfect, this one is way to toon for my tastes ( arms too long legs too skinny). But hey that's the good thing about choice. We're both happy 😀

[@alphatrion100]

​@@dogman8339 this is for g1 cartoon fans.

[@kojirotakamashi]

Blitzwing must be a nightmare to try an engineer a new version of his figures. Having to figure out how to fit a Tank, Jet and robot mode all in one figure.

[@deadbunny2938]

Still better than Arcee lol

[@choppergunner8650]

DX-9 Gewalt is probably the best version of Blitzwing. The tank is a bit cartoonish, but the jet is probably the best recreation of a MiG-25 Foxbat ever.

[@TheRockLlama]

The Red Bull joke shouldn't have gotten me but it did. Well done, emgo. Well done.

[@TheJoo-Kher]

Bro thats the most accurate g1 blitzwing ive ever seen

[@markcastellanet9672]

I like that the foot actually transforms to become the thrusters.

[@ghostie_21]

Instantly bought this after seeing the review, finally got him in hand today and he’s amazing so far. Transformations are simple and feels solid. On top of that he looks amazing.

[@petspeoplestuff]

They did it. I have been waiting for a Blitzwing like this.

[@Westwind-b7i]

When you’re in tank mode there’s two personnel hatches on the top that actually slide out board and “thoop” into place to clean up the top surface of the turret.

[@matthewallen3542]

I have this on my wish list on TFSource, and thanks to this review, I'll be picking this up at some point this year.

[@DarthRavage07_QR]

I have to say that is aerodynamic for a Blitzwing Jet Mode! MP Blitzwing finally, done right period!

[@wolfbane4875]

Best Blitzwing figure made so far.

[@JoeyFinnell84]

I've been waiting, hoping you would review and do a transformation tutorial/guide for this figure. As always, you didn't disappoint. Thank you, EmGo, you make my experience with Masterpiece scale Transformers so much more enjoyable.

[@ixiahj]

Theres really effort in the design to not just make it look like a transforming robot but to look as accurate as he appeared in the cartoon.

[@JamesMosesJr]

Blitzwing looks good.

[@legendarytoycollections]

Yey!!! Emgo video which means we finally have a proper “just transform it” reference! 👍👍 Great review of course, as always!

[@BoozyBeggar]

I have the DX-9 Blitzwing, and I love it, buuuuuuut I still might get this one, too. You can never have too many sculpts and transformations. More Blitzwings just means more fun.

[@djaltam1986]

Awesome! No detachable tank cannon. Tank cannon incorporated.

[@michelvanwaardhuizen3275]

Best version so far!!! Its getting better and better

[@alannixable]

Think this is my favorite transformer I own. Mp, 3p, g1 it does not matter. This guy is the pinnacle of what can be.

[@DevCorpGaming]

I mean, Blitzwing's jet mode (which was a MIG-25) was never the most aerodynamic aircraft, it essentially was a flying brick that couldn't turn well and could only snipe with missiles What's ironic is the MIG-25 was the reason the F-15 Eagle was developed, which is what the main seekers (except the coneheads, but I wouldn't call them 'main') use as their alt mode, meaning the other seekers are all better than Blitzwing in the air

[@toddvergith9485]

Once again Emgo to the rescue! Just got the 2.0 version of this figure and man is it awesome!

[@lowercaseg3027]

I was waiting on this review and possible magic square Bruticus (if you plan on getting it).. I received my copy of this Star Toy a couple of weeks ago and totally agree.. very impressed with their work on this.. Best Blitzwing out now..

[@Opiatist]

I had a feeling I was gonna see a cup & blitz vid lol. Awesome review as always!

[@Wymorence]

Awaiting FansToys' decision to start work on what is it, the 4th iteration of their Blitzwing? Technically we've already seen this company before. It's the design head from Deformation Space.

[@nujevad28]

They all have the same hands too.

[@bobhead229]

C'mon down, autobrat!

[@Kingslayer_au]

I just got my startoys commander aka blitzwing today. Its the most accurate g1 masterpiece Ive seen and it didnt cost an arm and a leg either. He was one of my favourite characters from the transformers and I am very, very happy with him 🙂

[@sammyboy6823]

Yes its a really great toy..thanks for making jti..you make it look so easy

[@Fillet2K]

Really good Blitzwing version, only accessory missing is his football like the one that comes with the DItka version.

[@ultrajazz5335]

Just got my copies and I absolutely love the look and feel of this guy! Great review Emgo!

[@deadbunny2938]

I wish they gave him MP-44 style skirt flaps that would move out of the way for his legs. A small addition that would make the articulation so much better.

[@Andulvar]

This is like an improved X-Transbots transformation. Tab clearance could use some work though but nothing future releases can't fix.

[@JasonSawyer]

Best bang for the buck out there right now.

[@NotBoringFilms]

so…the definitive blitzwing?

[@Silky_Chan]

now thats a transformer

[@TerrorMaskHost234]

These 3rd party transformations are gettin' more & more crazy

[@julienmccomb250]

The red bull bit killed me lol

[@roaropgard8575]

Blitzwing:Give me some warning before you use the punch🥵

[@patgeta2678]

ZONE DEFENSE!!!

[@atomD21]

I love this thing. Super excited to see their next announcement!

[@Believer1980]

It looks to be a bit fiddly, however this is the best G1 Blitzwing I've seen in a long time. Normally one or more of the modes look very off, due to being a triple changer, but all 3 look awesome.

[@TheDarkSparkVault]

I personally think that Startoys did quite an unexpected job at making their own version of Blitzwing and he is absolutely SPOTLESS! His jet and tank modes are almost nowhere to be seen in robot mode plus the jet has no tank pieces and vice versa!

[@ramkorndef]

So I was really looking forward to getting this figure when I saw he was up for preorder. When the figures started rolling out I saw quite a bit of QC issues with him. Unfortunately mine was one of those that came with issues. I had a couple minor scratches which weren’t a big deal but the big problem was he was missing a pretty important pin in the knee joint. Whenever I would bend him at the knee the leg would just come right making it impossible to transform or pose. It took a while but they sent me some pins for it but even those aren’t the right replacement pieces for it. They kind of fit but there’s still a tip of it that peaks out a bit. Anyway..that’s my rant and I’m looking forward to finally messing around with this figure after all this time.

[@ShinGallon]

Finally, a good MP figure of my favorite triple-changer. I'm trying to cut back on MP scale figures but I may need to pick this guy up.

[@rodsanchez8298]

Thank you. I've had this for 3 weeks now, waiting for your video on how to transform him

[@DrWOF]

You must find it so cumbersome to have to transform other equivalent figures each time for comparison - would take up so much of your day...

[@emgo316]

Yeah, sometimes the prep work is more time consuming than the video shoot lol

[@DrWOF]

@@emgo316 well thank you for your service. Your uploads are invaluable, particularly as a guide for the complex transformations.

[@emgo316]

My pleasure 🙏🏼

[@BblastedD]

I'm dying for a Sad PacMan!

[@kamal_jab]

You will get them when emgo review the latest kingohger toys

[@shadowqueen1701]

Me too, it's been like forever without a Sad Packman and a mascot review.

[@MisterAcosta]

WOW Emgo this figure is by far the best i've seen . I hope Star Toys is concidering making a Not G1 Octane ! 😅

[@MrPeterson74]

Considering that Fans Toys has taken so long to even update anyone on the progress of their Blitzwing, I'd say that this clearly has stolen a bit of their Thunder$$$. For me, its going to take a ton to convince me to swap this guy out for whatever FT comes up with, if they ever get theirs out the door.

[@jasonschade2050]

Great fig! great review!

[@thisguysplace]

Who else rember when he would sing it’s so precious it sooo precious ,god I miss those days

[@emgo316]

I stopped doing it cuz people kept misunderstanding what I was saying.

[@thisguysplace]

@@emgo316 I understand.People have changed and don’t get as much enjoyment from enthusiasm as they used to. But either was please don’t ever stop what your doing man i love your content and have been watching since I could read across all of my yt account.

[@shawndashno6022]

​​@@emgo316 Sounds more like the G1 haters are trying to brand you as a G1 super fanboy. Alright hater is a strong word, but those not raised on G1. I see that as a major issue with the TF fandom. C'mon folks, we're all fans here.

[@emgo316]

@Shawn Dashno that has nothing to do with it. what I meant by misunderstanding is people thought I was saying pressure instead of precious lol, so I figured I would just say it instead of sing it so people understand what I’m saying.

[@shawndashno6022]

@@emgo316 oh 🤣😂 that makes a lot more sense. I like to show off my figures next to some of my G1 originals in pics, and sometimes folks take me as a G1 fanboy, which I am, but I like a lot of the other designs too, so sometimes it's unwarranted, thought maybe you had the same problem. 😂 Glad it really is just a misunderstanding.

[@gjesse908]

Wonder what star toys st02 will be? Hopefully either rodimus prime or grimlock.

[@devynsmith5280]

In videos i saw, the purple panel that slides inside the chest is supposed to be left out for tank mode and it sits flat across the crotch and clears the ground, and leaves more clearance for the head. That's what I do for my copy and it works

[@emgo316]

there's clearance for the head either way, but that's a good tip. This is why there needs to be proper instructions included with these things so there's no confusion with how things work.

[@devynsmith5280]

@@emgo316 yeah I was unhappy with the QR code. I had to learn a few things from a few videos. It took the 3rd video to finally figure out I needed to remove the missile for tank mode after struggling for an hour. Your video being the 5th actually showed me the black panel on the knee for the first time.

[@alkiviadesgeorgakis209]

Good video as always

[@PicklerEntertainment]

This does look good, and I especially like the tank mode. For me, I would have picked this up if it just had a little panel lining / details, its especially lacking of details in Bot mode. That's fine for those Toon guys out there, but I prefer more details on my MP figs. So I'll be keeping my Dx-9 until (if ever) Fans Toys finally releases their verison. I will say this design looks like it was actually based on the original Fans Toys design. The backpack in Bot mode almost looks exactly like those original FT promo pics they released before scrapping that design and going for the full re-design.

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

This is a WONDERFUL figure. And it's relatively CHEAP too! 130 bucks! Yes, don't mind if I do!

[@loyalvariable]

as always, best transformer

[@IndianaTampa]

When Robosen figures out triple changers they can take all my money.

[@BIGACORN]

Everytime there's a 3P Blitzwing I hope for an Overcharge redeco and everytime my hopes are shattered...

[@ZombieGavinS]

Transformation kinda reminds me of TR Blitzwing...

[@AidenBrown-rp8up]

Oh and hey emgo can you do a g1 devastator review I’ve seen that you have one but you haven’t won a review on it so could you do a review on g1 devastator?

[@ultrajazz5335]

Like FT copied Newage for their Brawn, I’m sure they will copy ST for their Blitzwing, I’m sure that’s why they are waiting so long to put theirs out but other than more paint, ST nailed it on a MP Blitzwing!

[@yeahok1455]

His face swap turns him into duck lips Blitzwing

[@aunk1134]

the tank mode is awesomely design the jet is the weaker of the two alt modes

[@Segagamer007]

im gonna say this right now, i did not have any g1 toys growing up, i grew up in the early 2000s

[@1cioda]

This thing looks like a pain in the ass to transform

[@sammyboy6823]

Hi emgo..i just want to say their is storage in the back of blitzwing..

[@blue18404]

Holy Grail

[@darkphantom2196]

Looks good but I'm still holding out for Fanstoys offering

[@cindyzxec]

Very cool, not bukly tank in jey mode and not left over jet in tank mode. Tho I wonder why no new actual trible changer, just a lot of redo of old ones. I seen that cool car/awfull part forming helicopter (forgot his name) and I cna't spell her name but that spider girl who had part forming spider mode and a helicopter. Unless I miss an actual new triple chnager both I dont feel is really these a real triple changer. Not sure why no one makes the 2 triple changers in the Bumblebee movie become real? They just made 2 dif robot with the 2 modes. That would be cool to see. Or just make any new tribple changer or make a better 6 shot type where all the alt mode look like the actual alt mode.

[@TheDarkSparkVault]

PS: This one guy that I watch has the head of Blitzwing facing the right of the jet.

[@redalert923]

Just once can't we get the 3 split personality animated blitzwing again? Animated is so underrated

[@TristenSarelvun]

Animated isn't underrated; it's just that G1 trumps all else in toy companies' eyes, and G1 Blitzing is probably more iconic than Animated Blitzwing.

C'mon down auto-brat

[@Saichen]

Hasbro should buy one of these, take notes, simplify where possible and then give us a new SS86 Blitzwing that takes some design engineering inspiration off this toy, because the Legacy figure is a joke.

[@leetri]

This is a $120 unlicensed collector's item, the Legacy figure is a $55 mass-produced toy aimed at kids. Different price points, different standards, different sizes.

Not bad for 115 bucks. It sure does beat the hasblow version. I was really disappointed with it. I just might buy this one. 😊
