I had this guy in the 80's & loved him because he was dual faction double powermaster triple changing coldwar era ballistic carrier. I also loved Blitzwing Russian Mig fighter/tank. It is appropriate for me that he was a re-colored generations Blitzing. I bought the upgrade kit & added a remolded & matching color PM Krunk, he sits in DD hollow left shoulder. I put an original PM Skar engine mode in his right hollow shoulder. I also added a Legends Insecticon Kickback's Headmaster DoubleDealer, he sits in the hollow of the nosecone behind Generations DD head nicely - he controls the the ballistic operations. 😋

[@Trebleshot]

Doubledealer has always been officially classified as a Decepticon, though in media he is treated pretty much the way you said - a mercenary playing both sides. He's kind of like Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name character from the Dollars Trilogy.

[@peaugh]

Thanks!

[@Phyrior]

@@peaugh In G1 the character who became double-dealer had both an autobot and a decepticon powermaster brace. Depending on which side the character invoked, the Missile transport would either turn into a humanoid Autobot or a bird-like decepticon. The 'jet mode' is technically supposed to be a robot mode, but hasbro/takara cheaped out and recycled the blitzwing mold. I say this because in Masterforce the character chose to be a decepticon spying on the autobots, until his masters chose to leave him for dead, so he changed sides. He was basically Punch/Counterpunch but with a bird instead of a blue bot form.

I liked the 1st release of Blitzwing and I like this one even more. On my Blitzwing I never had an issue with the shoulders like many others, but my leg joints were a bit loose. This one however has incredibly tight joints, and his head isn't loose like my Blitzwing figure. The colors are really impressive and I absolutely love the new head mold. Right now I have him posed with Hexatron and Bovis, then on the other side of my desk I have Rhinox and Waspinator... They're my go-to's for the moment.

[@Chrongus]

Never got Blitzwing. I like these colors more and I like Doubledealer so I might pick this one up.

[@meadowelivingston]

Finally got this after searching most of the year. I like the fact that he's a triple changer and also a decepticon and auto bot and blue is my favorite color and I like the different shades they used.

[@8bitPikachu]

im really disappointed they didn't try to make him different from blitzing like sandstorm is to springer. maybe the nose cone could had been remolded to a bird head and the robot arm could have made a tail or in tank mode the cannon could have been replaced with a missile rack. or maybe give him two minicons as his powermasters

[@austinung4710]

Are you happy now?

[@susanhornsby2876]

Thank's my grandson would have been so upset without your help. Granny x

[@peaugh]

+Susan Hornsby Happy to have helped!

[@shumworld]

I don't own Blitzwing, and I really like the color deco. So I'll get him when I see him!

[@therealcarlwheezer5605]

I own him

[@shumworld]

@@therealcarlwheezer5605 fast forward to now and I actually sold him after a year of him sitting on my shelf. lol

[@Thor13332]

It's okay that this version is a Decepticon. Considering all of the Autobots they are releasing the cons need all the help they can get.

[@TalynStormcrow]

Can't believe they released this without fixing the issues! Mad.

[@Freddyfan1428]

Great review as always, Peaugh! Thanks for showing this off and hope that you'll get better soon!

[@RiskoVinsheen]

"You could peg it underneath Macross style." But you'll run the risk of Harmony Gold suing you.

[@NinjabillReviews]

Originally Double Double Dealer was a kid who found a transtector, and using the bracelets became a spy for the destrons because the transtector could assume two identities, and his personality was kinda a dick. He later joined the cybertrons but on a limited basis. Great Review!

[@Nickster891]

if i can find him i'll probably get double dealer just cause he's a redo of the old god/power master

[@carlrandolph5587]

I had a blitzwing mold before and it fell apart I kept the parts and then I bought DD. him having two guns makes him look awesome.

[@Weegee9003]

sadly this is the only i could get since blitzwing is nowhere to be found for me

[@Thunderwing88]

I'm glad they made a Doubledealer, but I wish they would've sprung for a new mold.

[@BIGGUY0683]

With all these Triple Changers, I so wish we could get a Generations Astrotrain done in the G1 form!

[@SGRoadbuster]

we already did, back in 2006 in the classics line. I say let hasbro focus on characters we dont have yet like Arcee and The Dinobots, before we go backtracking and fixing shit that aint broken

[@BIGGUY0683]

SGRoadbuster I know about that figure, but I didn't like it and I wish we had a G1 looking Astrotrain.

[@Airjet2582]

You could always buy the Japanese version of Classics Astrotrain on eBay. Retains the G1 grey colors.

[@D0nnyB0y]

From what I remember in the IDW comics, at least the ones that I have, he has two different personalities. Dealer (Autobot) and Doubledealer (Decepticon)

[@peaugh]

Yeah, that's always been the case, I believe. And in IDW he was Dealer who then betrayed Hot Rod and became Doubledealer. He's always kind of been a free agent working for both sides, this is the first time I recall them giving him a specific faction outside of that.

[@BBmetalhead04]

Hey Peaugh did you see the third party add on for this figure to make it Overlord?

[@peaugh]

I did not.

[@FPrimusUnicron]

i was going for blitzwing but damn, this look so much better

[@Nickster891]

actually yes double dealer is neither in the original masterforce he was a god or power master with one brace for the autobots and one for the decepticons he was the original sideways

[@GIDAVE75]

pretty disappointed they didn't fix this thing. Ill still buy it, as I love the mold, but DAMN Hasbro..how they not fix this?? I guess Ill be doing my sanding fix to this one too..

[@anthonydigironimo5371]

If he was in Bumblebee, I want the voice of Lockdown from Transformers Animated to play him.

[@Belipe_SSB]

Its a shame that hasbro didnt make the same treat with DD like what they did to sandstorm

[@lalo198080]

I heard 3rd party company is gona make a head for double dealer to turn him to overlord and another head to turn beasthunters darksteel to deathasours

[@shadowsfm2]

i always pull blitzwing's head off for vehicle mode

[@adoboawesome]

gee, I just LOVE the fact that his face is fuckin BLUE. BLUUUEEE. NOT SILVER.

[@PicklerEntertainment]

Quick question Peaugh... I found some conflicting info on MMC Fortis' release date, one site said it was shipping to retailers Fri. Nov. 22nd. However, Toyarena is showing a stock date of Weds Dec. 30th. I was planning to order him today, but I don't want to waste my cash if he's still a month (+) out... Peaugh, or anyone have any solid info??

[@riicky83]

Diod you forget to show off his new head? you never actually shown off his new head sculpt in the video.

[@MrCable75]

hey Peaugh are you gonna be getting Warbotron when they are released?

[@MrMicellaneous]

dude, are u ever gonna do kre-o transformers?

[@Deathscythetransform]

get the kit from that 3rd party company: 2 shoulder pieces that fix the problems, a bigger gun and missiles:)

[@wadewilson7000]

They have one for Doubledealer?

[@raynekraven]

Thomas Bernaers not to my knowledge, but the shoulder pieces that fix the problem are worth it!

[@wadewilson7000]

Or wait for a repaint of it :)

[@Metroplex10]

my Blitzwing has a problem where the paint on his helmet is rubbing off into the nosecone, does Doubledealer have this problem? i know he suffers from the same problems but with the new head i'm curious

[@peaugh]

I don;t think so, since DD's helmet is molded black plastic and his face is painted, so rubbing shouldn;t be an issue.

[@naitrate]

It has been 5 years,my doubledealer is still in great condition

[@qgxyreverse9886]

so he is a good and bad character of DOUBLEDEALER? it sound wried to me but he was still a cool figure in Generations series , and i actually do enjoy his robot mode and his jet mode except his tank mode .

[@bishopcat3004]

I’m only 8 and I made the jet yay!! I’m so proud of myself and turned it back into a robot I love him the transformer I have is my dads very first transformer he gave it to me

[@austinung4710]

This has aged poorly

[@qgxyreverse9886]

DOUBLEDEALER is better than blitzwing i like his blue color and i not a big fan of Generations Voyager BLITZWING but i like DOUBLEDEALER batter than Voyager BLITZWING , so i will give DOUBLEDEALER 9.9 stars just because of his blue color skin and his jet mode.

[@lalo198080]

Who would u recommend double dealer or blitzwing I'm tryn to decide I mean I have classics astrotrain & universe tankor (obtank)

[@UDAMZ]

I have Blitzwing and I love him. I like a lot of the decals for DoubleDealer (jet mode mostly), but I wouldn't bother as I already have Bwing. Also Blitzwing looks better in the Hasbro release.

[@chancebcrr]

Hasbro fix this mold

[@rileyhasacupcake]

I have this figure and I find it very cool not including the shoulder problem

[@genji316]

Maybe a lil modification can fix this

[@genji316]

Where did you get this?

[@zellcrs]

The truth was to avoid cannon wang.

[@ultramegatrion]

The original Doubledear is still way BETTER than this....

[@Jackobean7]

Why has he got 2 simbles

[@wallyhubbard9402]

Symbols?? He works for both sides!

[@FrenzyandLazerbeak]

still not better than the G1 double dealer Hasbro got lazy on this one

[@FrenzyandLazerbeak]

That Giant Turkey with a dildo was more innovative for its time.....than this Repaint being passed as a new Toy/figure.

[@Martynde]

+FrenzyandLazerbeak They gave him a new head. Thats not lazy. They can't always give toys extensive remolds, bu thankfully new heads are much more common these days than they used to be.
