"POLLY SHOULDN'T BE!!!"
The Takara version is still, IMO, the best CHUG Blitzwing overall. I've had a look at him recently but I've been playing with the TT "Archforce" remold/recolour (and I'm adding some extra painted details, which I'll post here when it's done).
Archforce is great because it's purple colour matches a number of other purple Titanmasters, such as Hasbro Blitzwing, mini-Apeface, Trypticon's Titanmaster, etc.
Love these two, I just wish the Targetmasters fit their vehicle modes better.
...not that I have the Targetmaster versions, but that's part of why. The other reason being I have the US ones and couldn't afford fancy imports at the time.
The Targetmasters, to my knowledge, aren't actually meant for them; they're meant for existing/still to come original G1 Targetmasters, right?
I kid you not - this is 100% true; I swear on my marriage, my other partnership, and both my careers: my husband found this in the washing machine after doing a load of pants.

I just got mine, too! Along with him and the Lift Ticket I bought from ChessPieceFace, I put together a quick "Team Diaclone" picture:
Edit: It's a combination of Diaclone's limited color palette as well and my limited amount of Diaclone-reference Transformers, but I love the unified color scheme of this team. Everyone is red, silver, black, white, and navy blue in varying proportions with occasional yellow highlights.

I thought those were concept-only for the Legends manga?
I just like the look of the old Thrilling 30 mold, and ChessPieceFace happened to be selling one.
I updated my Trailbreaker, since I think the new toy looks more like Trailbreaker, but I stuck with the old mold for Hoist and now Lift Ticket. Nothing wrong with the new one, I just didn't feel as strong a need to update.

I'm still passing on that Jacky, just don't like the headscuplt, its just ugly much like a lot of the BB movie figure heads, far to much detail for my liking!
Because he wanted to help me shed some collection weight before I moved to a new city, obviously.
Am I the only one who’s not a big fan of this guy? I mean, he looks great at certain angles, but the proportions on him are, like sooo… off. Like, his arms are set too far back on his torso, his head even more so. It’s strange to say, and I hate saying it, but I prefer the original version of this mold. Like, every remake of this mold has been a janky fail IMO. I remember the sheer perfection of the RiD Scourge version of this mold. One of my favorite toys ever to this day. He was sturdy, poseable, didn’t get in his own way, and was packed full of fun gimmicks. This Prime has got… so much less accessories, and so much more hindering kibble. Like, yeah, why his shoulders hurt, cus they do; they really really do.
14 years apart: got the bulks from this set sometime in 2008, and finally tracked down this set for a great price so I could get the Mini-Cons. Will likely try and sell the bulk partners, who are now doubles.
I miss this toyline.
Now I just need Swerve and (mainly) Roadhandler. And a stupidly large sum of money so I can try and get the canceled Smokescreen/Drench set, but even the former is already a daunting task these days.

You need the SG/Blue Decepticon Energon repaint, plus maybe the Classics version to complete the set?
