Walmart is starting a series of "virtual collector cons" (whatever the frak that means) next thursday.
I'm pretty sure that's when these will go live.

That's also the first time I have noticed that Pretender Iguanus looks like he is doing an enormous shit.

Theft review "teasers" as "reveal coming soon" is the lowest of the low.
Just say you want to be internet famous and show the damn stolen toy.
Or don't and let Hasbro have something to reveal for once.

Pleased he's scaled to fit with Siege Astrotrain, although that was a given. I was surprised by how badly TR Blitzwing went with Siege Astrotrain. Didn't work at all. Both great figures, just didn't go together.

TR Blitzwing was designed to go with the TR Octane & Astrotrain though
There's something of a line in the sand after POTP and before Siege over which compatibility isn't guaranteed

And TR Blitzwing wasn't that great to begin with. I mean it was leaps and bounds better than the entirety of CW and PotP, and was certainly better than the previous Blitzwing (thanks to it's terrible shoulder design), but that's all not a very high bar to cross.
But TR Blitz had to share it's design with Megatron. Which ended up giving us the best Megatron in recent years, but in just an "okay" Blitzwing.
Though at least it didn't end up like TR Astrotrain, which is a rotten toy all around. Bland, off model robot mode, and two alt modes that fail to look like anything, and the ugliest most garish Sentinel Prime repaint you could imagine.
But Sandstorm when? we haven't had a new figure for him since T30(?), and we've never gotten an accurate update of him. Meanwhile Broadside has had a recent accurate update, Astrotrain and Blitzwing have had three, and Springer's had two.
For one of Hasbrocs favorite default colorschemes and names, G1 Sandstorm gets shafted more than most.

Thanks to young McFeely's recent Basics the Conjunx and I ended up staying up late last night bemoaning the very same thing, and also how the line really did peak a few years back. But that's for another thread.
As for here, yes, that's a shitty thing for the reviewer to be doing, but sadly I am unsurprised. Also disappointed to hear that Blitzwing's going to be so small (for a leader), but then this is a trend we need to be living with, so...

He has to be the same size as Astrotrain. If not, there will be... trouble.

See, given that this is leading to a website, where space is not at all limited, this would be the perfect opportunity for them to finally get back to providing detailed bios. It's not at all surprising that they haven't, though.
