So, while moments of this panel are fun, the director is talking in circles and clearly is not knowledgable about the subject matter. A bit dissapointing.
A Decepticon that looks exactly like Starscream being Blitzwing would be akin to showing Boba Fett is a trailer and then telling us it isn’t Boba, that it is actually Bossk.
