[@Hangryman9038]

I cant help but feel like it is so underappreciated how good the engineering on this figure is. This is the cleanest jet former I've ever seen. And the robot mode has just such minor differences from the non transforming 3m figure. Zeta toys knocked it out of the park with this guy.

[@derjon5]

That’s a beautiful f-4

[@carbful]

Still remember when everyone thought he was Starscream

[@anskybelike16]

Yeah lol

[@Neucod55]

That’s probably what the movie directors were going for. I would still love to see all the main seekers, especially thundercracker, in this design. Would look so sweet.

[@leetri]

Even the official website called him Starscream for a moment, so the confusion is justified.

[@cadsux]

Except Starscream met his demise in Transformers 3, not Bumblebee. In that case, they would have to resurrect him like they did Megatron.

[@AidanFarren-Hart]

The Bumblebee movie has actually been confirmed to be set in a new universe.

[@averageaviator763]

I'm surprised they managed to get the f4 so accurate and it transforms so well

[@bong4538]

The Mechanical Allianz one is more accurate and also the details but the transforming mode is a headache. it's like transforming a small tree branch 😅

[@kpopbob8461]

Yea but it isn’t as long tho which sucks

[@pinkstinger]

I gotta say, that's one beautiful jet underside, I always appreciate when it looks nice

Yes, that feature from Transformers: Animated. #throwbacktuesday

[@joshualisojo4832]

I would like if they actually made him a triple changer

[@TheRisingStorm316]

@@joshualisojo4832 My theory: Blitzwing just had the jet mode because he likely didn't have a chance to scan a tank form yet, and he wanted to kill Bumblebee before scanning a tank. That's just my guess, though

[@leetri]

@@TheRisingStorm316 The actual reason is that they just designed a generic Seeker and slapped the Blitzwing name on it last minute because that's a trademark Hasbro had lying around at the time. He's not even named in the movie and had a different name in the screenings, so really they only named him Blitzwing for the toys.

[@wingedbluj1674]

@@leetri true, honestly they would have had such a better reception if they called him "Thrust" or something

[@CryosisOfficial]

I love how there are virtually no visible robot parts in the alt mode and it also didn't look like there were any false parts in the robot mode.

So I guess you could say the detachable wings were an homage to G1 Screamer.

[@shawndashno6022]

I think it's CRAZY how "solid" the jet mode looks, and then, to watch pieces fold and shift is absolutely nuts! The engineering that went into this guy to get such good looking modes!! And of course the robot!! My god, it's a thing of beauty! Such a great job on showing us the process, you are the man Emgo. I know you probably won't read this, but still. Thank you for everything you do, the explanations, the non bias review, the humor, all of it! You make our day with every upload!! Cheers mate!!

[@emgo316]

Thank you so much 😁

[@bobdobalina8910]

Great Review, and get that he's in a CLASS of his own, however, it would have been a BUY from a guy that is only interested in MP Scale, if his Alt mode was in line with the SEEKERs Alt modes. His Alt mode is INSANE! Hits it out of the Park. Just a shame that he doesn't scale very well with the MP line/3P MPs. Otherwise he is amazing.

[@arthurlight9393]

Thank you Emgo...just hearing the plastic,parts moving,gets me hungry to have it! At least i watch your funny review,keep going.

[@DemitriVladMaximov]

@@TheZero1312 yep

[@cadsux]

In the movie, Blitzwing was an F-4C Phantom II, but this version and Mechanical Alliance's version are F-4Es. The main difference is the nose area ahead of the cockpit. The F-4C was shorter in length but had a larger stubby black nosecone with a IR sensor below. The F-4E was much longer (esp. the area between the cockpit and nosecone) with a smaller black nosecone and long bulge underneath housing the 20 mm Vulcan cannon.

[@decepticonshadows3901]

i got my answer to the question of when the Mechanical Alliance version of this guy’s review would be happening. curious to see how Zetas goes against the MA version

[@tfcollect2690]

The MA was Zeta's prototype R&D design. They weren't to happy with it and sold their first prototype to MA and went about refining their previous mold.

[@andreyofdoom]

@@tfcollect2690 kind of. The person who designed it sold his files to Zeta AND MA. While MA didn't tweak the design zeta did

[@tfcollect2690]

@@andreyofdoom I'm not too sure about that info. Giving the fact that Zeta first prototype photo is the MA version. You can google it and see for yourself. The MA was sold that mold by ZETA. Zeta went about improving what would be called "FLASH" by the inconsistencies in their original mold. Somewhat like BMB had done with Knights Orion by ToyWorld. BmB sold TW the mold. And l am certain they were happy they did. That figure is transforming disaster that has been noted for it QC issues including breakage. But, anyway. Zeta sold their original Mold to MA/BMB.

[@andreyofdoom]

@@tfcollect2690 why would zeta sell the design then lose money for people who bought the other one instead of zeta? Zeta actually bought the same design. The person sold it to zeta and MA/Bmb. Then Zeta updated it to make it better as no pieces locked in and they didn't like that.

[@tfcollect2690]

@@andreyofdoom why not? BmB sold the mold to Knights Orion to ToyWorld. It's not unusual. How did they lose money? Do you have the MA? I have both figures and trust me Zeta didn't lose anything. They've gained because the FLASH is better figure in every aspect.

[@matthewelliott7294]

After seeing the box that the figure comes in, I’m getting a Flash Gordon vibe from it more than DC Comics Flash.

[@thaumielessa5051]

Finally a good Blitzwing...... despite the spaghetti work transformation.

[@96_stars22]

I love the new thumbnail art you’ve done. It’s so good looking now

[@ALLHAILTRANSFORMERS]

great review, i still prefer the mechanical alliance because he is more screen accurate with the logos and the USAF. and the jet mode looks cleaner. But i like the fact that the legs parts can tab together on this one

[@goawayihavecommentstomake1488]

But the jet mode on the MA version is WAY OFF... The tail planes are tiny and look like a child’s drawing. I didn’t get it just for that reason. It has nice painting, though.

[@ALLHAILTRANSFORMERS]

@@goawayihavecommentstomake1488 yes, but in termsof screen accuracy he is the best because of the logos, so that is why i choose this one ( always collecting for robot mode first and then vehicule mode) ; )

[@bigrdmp]

Hey! I really appreciate your work and the fun videos you make. I hope you're doing good, Emgo!

[@Solitude2500]

The handcannon on the nose is really giving off A-10 vibes.

[@cadsux]

Well, both the F-4E and the A10 have a gatling gun mounted under the nose. 20 mm and 30 mm respectively. The F-4E was 20 years earlier.

[@jaykerp2878]

Great Review! Man what a Figure definitley looking out for it, even tho it's not one of THOSE Transformations i am still afraid of it xD but he's quite the Big Boy which is great 😆

[@tamarockstar09]

I actually have the mechanical alliance one, and I like the way it looks in robot mode and it’s more stiff joints except I couldn’t get the panels to close all the way. I got the zeta and on my copy the wings are so loose that they don’t stay in place and one of the fingers broke off so I keep the zeta toys in jet mode and the mechanical alliance in robot mode.

[@KrAk_D0g]

Im watching the transformation and im like- “bro how are some of these bits actual arms and legs” lmao

[@MarusLetsPlay]

I really can't imagine how the instructions for this guy look like. O.o

[@kmadhusudanreddy]

I love the new thumbnails

[@StefanCSC86]

I have bought the Mechanical Alliance version a while ago and after watching a few reviews of the Zeta Toys version, I thought it is worth buying this one and get rid of the Mechanical Alliance, especially because I got 30% discount, which is amazing. But, boy I was so wrong! Maybe it's just my copy, but let me tell you why I was wrong. 1. The paint and the screen accuracy are much better done on the Mechanical Alliance. That metallic vibe and the dirty look on him, plus the attention to details, in terms of his alien tattoos, are spot on to the way he shows on screen. 2. While the transformation is slightly less frustrating on the Zeta Toys and everything stays tabbed in, during the whole transformation pieces just kept falling off and ball jointed panels kept on poping off, which never happened with the Mechanical Alliance in the past, and I transformed him so many times, that I lost count. 3. Some pieces on the Zeta Toys version are so well tabbed in, that I am afraid they will break whilst getting them undone, which actually happened to one of his shoulders. 4. Lastly but not leastly, while posing Zeta Toys and Mechanical Alliance in their robot modes, I did the "shaking" test. Guess who lost its balance in the next second: that's right, Zeta Toys. I kept on turning and tilting his lower legs, upper legs, the feet... to the same result. He just kept falling on the back whilst doing the test. So, while I agree with the fact that Zeta Toys holds the pieces together better and it is easier to pose, my preferred version is Mechanical Alliance. As I mentioned earlier in my comment, maybe it's just my copy, so I don't want to discourage anyone from buying it. By all means, you like what you like and you might get a good version of it, but take it with a grain of salt.

[@BoozyBeggar]

Wow, the MA one broke. Yikes. You should consider blogposting occasionally to go into specifics about certain happenings like that which can't be covered in detail as well in video format, plus it would, in theory, be less time consuming than making a video. You really are doing a service to all TF nerds with all these videos. I couldn't have gotten thru the MP-44 ko I got without your transformation video on it.

[@cybertronwarriors3120]

One of the wings broke on mine ....the first day upon received it 🥴😭 ...it's a good thing that they are detachable, so that one day I can get the defective wing if someone ever wants to get rid of their old broken blitzwing🙄

[@papermelon]

I’d never purchase the mechanical alliance version just because of all his issues, but it’s such a bummer because I seem to be one of the few that thinks his robot mode looks SEVERELY better than the zeta version. Zeta looks great, but when compared with MA, zeta suddenly looks like just an upscale SS blitzwing. I’ll probably still bite so I can have him in scale with my ToyWorld freedom Leader. Thanks for the review Emgo!

[@shaldurprime7154]

@@emgo316 i know that, but im more interested in why threezero hasn't done anything, they made figures of bumblebee optimus and blitzwing, but not shatter and dropkick, they glossed over the main antagonists in favor of 2 other characters with a collective six minutes of screetime between them

[@emgo316]

it could still happen. only time will tell.

[@carbful]

Finally got this guy and came with more problems than expected. Loose wings and the metal chest piece won't stay on during transformation(Is that normal?) and some ball joints in the leg panels came with stress marks. A tad dissapointed but it still looks amazing and just needs some socket tightener

[@tarnishedspark511]

Hit the stressmarks with a heatgun or a hairdryer and they should go away*

5:10 correct me if I'm wrong but based on the model of F4 that blitzwing is (which I think to be an F4A), those are AIM 9 Sidewinders on the sides and AIM 7s or skyflashes on the bottom I believe. 5:20 I also think those are either AIM 7 sparrows or skyflashes.

Between this one or threezero. Which blitzwing. Cough cough flash is better. Said zeta is better then mechanical alliance but curious if better then threezero. If could have one which would u pick. love transformers that transform but noticed once transformed em few times they usually stay in robot mode. But do love jets since worked around em in military so. If u had to chose which one would you pick. Unfortunately I can only get one of these. And that is if can even get one. Disabled from a call and tried to go bk to work and now bedridden and lost workman’s comp for trying to work those few months after spinal fusion then nerves went so now state disability and huge huge pay cut. dosnt pay much at all. But may get this. Got the Optimus threezero finally so. But Def want the better pick. Thanks

It is interesting that in the movie blitzwing it was not a triplechanger, and that an F-4E Phantom II was chosen for its alternate form, I had chosen the Mig-31 Foxhound (this was one of its original alternate modes) or the Mig-25 Foxbat.

[@cadsux]

That would have been cool. They could have used an F-15 Eagle to make it more controversial, since the Eagle was replacing the Phantom as the Air Force's main fighter. Maybe the filmakers have something against twin finned, twin podded engines with boxy variable inlet air intakes? The original alt modes for Blitzwing was the Mitsubishi Type 74 tank & Mig-25 Foxbat, since it was Soviet pilot Lt. Belenko who defected in a Mig-25 to Japan in 1976.

I’m guessing it’s for story purposes. A MiG flying in continental USA is not a Robot in Disguise
