Springer, on the other hand... sheesh. Anything is an improvement from his G1 figure and the mass of 2-form repaints that got released with his name attached.

I think the big reason people hate Blitzwing is he's flawed out of the box in that something in the mold got screwed up at the factory, making it so his shoulder and arm joints don't tab in tight.

People have shown though that if you're willing to disassemble and sand down some parts, he'll work fine after that.

Aside from that, the worry for his nose cone being a soft plastic that has to tab in for jet mode.
