Found Voyager Blitzwing and Springer in LA on Saturday.

One word-review: awesome. :)

Robot-modes for both are pretty dead-on. Blitzwing has a changing face. Yup. Only minor issue seemed like the robot mode for Blitzwing was a bit loose in the shoulder area, but maybe some things weren't pegged-in properly? Springer's feet are a bit odd out of the box, but he stands OK when you flip-out his back foot part.

Wheeled-Vehicle Modes: Both are excellent. Blitzwing's cannon has a 'slide the tube and the missile fires' feature, which I don't think we've seen before? Springer is really solid and has no helicopter kibble whatsoever.

Flight-Modes: solid again, but not as good as the wheeled modes, IMHO.

Both would rank a 9/10.

It's easy to fix the shoulders. Just gotta know how to flex and lock them in place. Check YouTube for the easiest solution.

All the time. I bought mine and Matt's off of RobotKingdom. Came out close to retail and I've had them for weeks.

I wish Hasbro would finally get these guys to Automaton. I've been waiting for a Shipping confirmation since mid-April.

I'm still awaiting my Blitz and Springer, BBTS still cannot give a straight answer. First time buying from them ain't say I'm pleased :/

Ordered both on the first day BBTS offered them for preorder. They are currently sitting in my box in Sumas, WA. Will pick them up Sat. Cant wait, been wanting these two characters in classics-verse form for many years.
