Older KO Transformers Mods - KO G1 Kabaya (Boxed): Blitzwing

Blitzwing. One of the more "sensible" decepticon G1 triple-changer. I mean, look at Octane (oil truck? cargo plane?), Astrotrain ("choo-choo" train? space shuttle?)... I am ok with their designs (I bought an ORIGINAL Astrotrain, and ORIGINAL classics Octane, ok...) but deceptions... shouldn't they be war-lovers? Or at least transform into something more offensive? Like a fighter plane? Or tank? Blitzwing fits in here...

Robot mode...


I bought the KO diaclone Blitzwing (boxed with Broadside and oversized 2 members of Landcross) earlier. Wonderful design. This KO Kabaya version comes with a dominant red & white colour scheme with bits of blue, and size about 90% of real one.... Looks ok right.. let's move on first to tank mode...

Look out for the canopy that will be obvious in jet mode, red in colour. It looks a bit out of place here, right? But still not that bad....



So where is the mod? Nothing, except for the canopy which I just repaint it as red. Else, it will look extremely terrible in jet mode...



Many people don't like the blocky plane mode, say is too unrealistic... but I think the good side of it will be the kids will have more imaginative opportunities when playing with it.... Another thing I kinda like is the design, which gives 2 dominant colours with each vehicle it transforms into, and this gives a deeper impression that they are two different entities (same for white Astrotrain) ... in disguise mah...
