ThreeA DLX Blitzwing (Transformers Bumblebee Movie) - Vangelus Review 407

[@WaveSineReverse]

Wow, I had forgotten how hard this design leaned into the G1 Starscream look. Still an amazing looking figure.

[@wingedswordslayer]

Most people thought it was Starscream in the trailers to be fair. Had to be intentional.

[@Vangelus]

First? No. No, I've taken it from you. I've eaten it, and added its power to my own.

How dare you take away my internet points.

[@scottmiller4295]

nice review i very interested in the optimus prime by 3a which seems to be in the same mold/price point as this looks amazing also.

[@segitigagaming2436]

Tbh when the trailer was released, im hype cuz it was a "G1 starscream" n might be fighting bumblebee...

[@zacimusprime4865]

Dan Gleeson yeah good job😊👍🏻!!! Transformers movie verse/Bay formers always the best😄😎😊👍🏻!!!

[@ToaArcan]

@@zacimusprime4865 The Bayformers have easily the worst designs of any Transformers series and like two of them actually have personalities.

Blitzwing would never dab. I’m shaking and crying right now.

[@MD_Chaos]

Can’t believe Vangelus made Blitzwing do the dab

[@t-kozy39]

Having been here since 2013, I can *absolutely* believe Vangelus did that.

[@MD_Chaos]

Damn...

[@colesutra]

Ah, you must be new here.

[@MD_Chaos]

Not quite

[@ModelZoneStudio]

yes, they have to do Shatter and Dropkick....the triple change versions would be perfect.

[@RingoLoadagain]

I love the landing gear-as-toes design. So clever.

[@freddekl1102]

I wish nothing but success for this line, it is crazy well painted, well engineered, reasonably priced. Hope it will stir up market(force Flame Toys to more competitive prices) and they expand it to cover normal movie stuff and maybe redesigns of other universes.

[@S0UNDWAVE]

3A’s DLX line is their most successful line ever (according to their licensing manager). Hopefully this means endless more bots. I know that DLX Revenge of the Fallen Jet Power Optimus is in the works. Yes, DLX.

[@freddekl1102]

@@S0UNDWAVE No wonder it is more successful- 50% or so cheaper, more manageable size and still excellent quality. Size matters apparently- even if I had cash to regularly buy normal stuff I wouldn't want them since they are absurdly big and I'm certainly not the only one. Weird they didn't do that earlier. However, this Jetpower Prime. I checked and indeed it seems to be in works- here I was ready to shell 600+ on potential Flame Toys offering, hope they pull through with this project

[@S0UNDWAVE]

fred dekl totally agreed, I own DOTM Optimus and I really don’t have the space for anything else of that size. Also it being big means it’s harder to articulate and such, it means you have to be more careful. I just placed an order for the DLX Nemesis Prime. It won’t get here until at least April/May next year. What about you? Do you have any bots on order?

[@freddekl1102]

@@S0UNDWAVE Shame they need 1 year to release it, scheduling is one thing that licensing companies can do much better Anyway here's my life story and observation as recurrent addict. I recently came back to Transformers after few years' brake, was taken by how crappy to mediocre mainline was(though Siege looks better and better, hope that in a few years' time they will get there), Masterpiece and 3P just isn't my game-they don't seem to have that fun factor I'm more keen on looks, less so gimmicks so official licensed offerings immediately sparked my interest and I'm close to buying something. Almost bought Flame Toys Star Saber(of course, for Victory Saber) but I already have one, custom made by someone I knew so decided to wait to have a duo of FT Optimus and Megatron(would you believe it, I don't have either one or the other in any shape) and call it quits, but of course they will offer Jetpower, maybe IDW Chaos armour for Megatron and like man just take my money already Though Movies are so much closer to my heart than G1, more aesthetic also so apparently I have time to dwell because it will be half a year before anything interesting comes up since aforementioned scheduling

[@S0UNDWAVE]

@@freddekl1102 Yeah one of the worst things about 3A is how long they take to release things and how many times they keep delaying releases.

[@DXTokusatsu]

I am surprised I haven't come across any of your reviews so far cause I have been watching all kinds of different channels about transformer figures. I have to say you are one of the best, funniest and most entertaining reviewers out there. Keep up the good work and this Starscream figure is amazing! If I had figures like this 25 years ago when I was a kid I would have never wanted to grow up.

[@mrsoulivue]

Love it, in Bumblebee movie, they should've use blitzing colors, purple and tan color...can't wait to get this one, great job

[@Majinhero]

You seem to have left out the transformation somehow, you can't have a blitzwing without transforming into a jet and a tank! Right?

[@nothingwrong1050]

Starscream* im sorry it had to be done ;)

[@astromotive6047]

It's funny how Vangelus mentions the whole Seeker re-deco potential of this figure since during TFCon LA back in March ThreeA had the Premium scale Blitzwing on display. When I commented on how large he was in comparision to the smaller DLX scale Bumblebee that was also on display, one of the ThreeA reps told me personally that they planned on also doing a Starscream from the Bumblebee Movie as well.

[@daneyal7162]

Not that Shatter and Dropkick weren't awesome villains, but I wish that Blitzwing would've had more screentime in the movie...

[@Draconicus702]

I'm still annoyed that they slapped the name Blitzwing onto this character😒... i mean i get why they wanted to change this character's name from Starscream as it was obviously gonna be. Since he does die, but why give him the name of another popular character if he was just gonna die?... they could of just slapped any generic name and it would of been good. And that way they could of actually made a G1 like Blitzwing design.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Draconicus the Reaper This was a slap in the face either way.

[@Draconicus702]

@Doctor Tophat yeah, but the character's official name is Blitzwing.

[@smig_grig]

There are literal legions of seekers they could have made this guy instead if Blitzwing

[@langletprolet8378]

Draconicus the Reaper Well, maybe there won’t even be a movie Blitzwing in the next couple of years so why not

[@zilvertron]

Because of rights to the name Hasbro has to use them within a set time frame or the trademark will be lost, so they will just slap on any name here and there to prevent wasting cash if the name might be useful sometimes in the future. Call him Ramjet if you dont think Blitzwing fits or call it something else, Trailbreaker got to wear Ironhides name for 5 whole movies just cause Ironhide was a better name so Blitzwing aint the first misnamed robot

[@RingoLoadagain]

This thing is gorgeous. Same features and articulation as their DLX Bumblebee which is also incredible. If only they were in scale with each other... Also, I REALLY miss you doing reviews, @Vangelus you used to be my favorite youtube reviewer!

[@2007suprasport]

Wooooowww!!!!! I mean!!! Looks absolutely phenomenal!!!!

[@bouncyblight2001]

They just keep getting better with these figures, you could literally use them as props in the film.

[@Robocline]

that Blitzscream looks really good.

[@KingTaeChannel.]

put soul in this figure and it can do chores

[@cannonfodder4000]

I would 100% love a 3A Starscream if they wanna do a retool.

[@MrJackzo]

I love this Starscream ThreeA review. Great job dude! Keep it up!

[@ShadowWingTronix]

I"m pretty sure TJ Omega IS a Blitzwing biologist so you'll have to ask him if the tank is there.

[@kobaltblueknight]

So, my theory as to why Blitzwing looks nothing like himself in a movie where all the G1 characters are given designs clearly inspired by their original appearances: This cinematic universe is going to abide by the G1 continuity's rules of transformers durability; and survive the damage he sustained in the movie. Not much will be left of him other than his head, which will somehow find its way grafted onto a tank. He'll take the tank over, remaking it into his new body. This will also be the source of his status as a triple changer, as he'll be able to transform between his robot mode, original jet mode, and the new tank mode gifted to him by his new body. It may even be the case that Cliffjumper will be able to be brought back. Perhaps he had an off-center spark casing, and Ratchet can salvage it and place it in a new protoform body. The main reason why I don't think this would be the case, would be because the studio wants death to have meaning in this new cinematic universe. They could strike a balance, where they may have been enough left of Blitzwing to rebuild him, but Cliffjumper was beyond saving. We'll just have to wait for the sequel to see.

[@Arro3]

I heavily appreciate this line from afar and hope it does well. Thank you for the review.

[@zilvertron]

Wow, what a nice looking RAMJET! think ill buy him when available, cause an enemy of Autobot Bumblebee is a friend of mine

[@ironhideprimal6300]

I going to him and Optimus Prime I hoping they do Shatter, Dropkick & only Characters from the Bumblebee Movie

[@kaseyflemingart]

I like the fan theory that the government is going to take Blitzwing, Shatter and Dropkicks bodies and Frankenstein them together giving him his multiple personalities as well as triple changer ability for the next film.

I wouldn't call him Starscream. An actual Starscream would have more traditionally G1 colors to him. (much more red in the torso and blue forearms) This is basically generic Seeker number 24601.

[@xtheforgottenstudios8149]

How much will this be?

[@une6two943]

this is mind blowing.. but i wonder if it'll be made. in some way. transformable

[@DraggaRyuu]

For as much as this movie was out to try and make the live action universe parallel to G1, you'd think they'd at least pick an actual Seeker name after realizing they messed up and made a Starscream. Impressive figure of [Seeker], sure, though. Can't say I'm much keen to touch much from Bumblebee, but [Seeker] is totally one of the better designs to come from the movie.

[@fduranthesee]

Blitzwing is Red, Starscream is Gray

[@DraggaRyuu]

@@fduranthesee Starscream in the movie has a different head and slightly more red with blue arms. Doesn't change the fact that this [Seeker] is clearly designed to look like Starscream. Early reports said it was Starscream, but that was ADR'd into Blitzwing even though they could have at least used another actual Seeker name like Ramjet or even Red Wing.

[@kre8or465]

The only reason this character is blitzwing and not starscream was because they realized they couldn't have bumblebee kill starscream in the first few minutes of the movie, and I'm ok with that. This version of blitzwing is clearly a seeker, so starscream would obviously have the same design just with more blue.

[@k.ottophillips4303]

Kewl. Does it transform?

[@kereamohau]

"Blitzwing" This is bad comedy

[@nothingwrong1050]

ITS STARSCREAM NOT BLITZWING FROM TRANSFORMERS "THE ONLY GOOD MOVIE"

[@victorcreedy9147]

Absolutely adore how they kept the gruff, aggressive visage of the Bayverse whilst making the design true to G1. Shown perfectly with this figure.

[@fduranthesee]

3:08 Damn, he MUST be compensating for something.

[@meatheadofatf2player187]

So I'm guessing that it doesn't transform? That's really disappointing, but I guess it does look real good and is really flexable.

[@RockNerdRadio]

That’s amazing!

[@Bat_fan-1]

Blitzwing did the dab you can tell he's years late to the party

[@Freak80MC]

I wonder if this design was actually meant to be Starscream originally, like designed to be him, but because nobody making this movie could decide if it was a prequel or a reboot, and because that also made them ax a scene with Megatron (to not interfere with the fact that he was supposed to be gone searching for the Allspark on Earth) they just decided to give the design to Blitzwing because it they went with the prequel thing, it might interfere with his original design. The design cues from G1 are just too THERE to ignore. Plus the fact that one of the non-triple changing robots in the movie is given the name of Blitzwing, the canonical triple changer... -.-

[@rocketslime5772]

I like to think that Shockwave rebuilds Blitzwing into the guy we all know and love later in the movies (if more movies happen).

[@Optimaloptimus]
