Finally found the Animated Blitzwing at Wal-Mart yesterday. They only had one on the shelf (along with one each of Lugnut and Grimlock that weren't there the day before), and the box was beaten all to hell, but I was opening it anyway.
First of all, the jet mode is VERY unstable. There isn't a lot of security in the back section, and if you pick it up, the legs/tank treads immediately come loose. The back stabilizer fin/turret section only rests on the treads, and it has a tendency to flop around as well. Sculpt-wise it looks great, but it fails as a toy in that mode.
The tank mode, while simple, stays together very well, and works. It's not the G1 styled tank look, and is pretty strange looking when compared to "real world" vehicles today, but it looks nice and that's the mode that mine will be staying in on display due to the cruddy jet mode.
The robot mode, of course, looks pretty spot-on with the television show, and the spinning head works well. I was halfway expecting Hasbro to make the three faces stickers instead of a molded head, but they are molded, and look great. I'm keeping mine's head stuck in the "monocle" face, though, as I find the notion of a TF with a monocle to be endlessly amusing for some reason. Great articulation, and good paint apps where necessary.
I'd give him a 4 out of 5, and he only loses that extra point for the cruddy jet mode. IMO, Lugnut is still the best of the Voyager class so far.
Also found Universe/Classics 2.0 Galvatron at the same Wal-Mart the day before. Not impressed at all with him. The transformation is endlessly confusing (parts kept falling off the first three times I tried to change him into robot mode and back), and the face sculpt looks pretty silly. No sign of Acid Storm (and I probably won't get him even if I do see him), but so far the Deluxe Class Decepticons are 0 for 2.
