You know Peaugh, I've never really watched any of your videos, I've had my own personal favourite who I usually go to for my video reviews. But truth me told, I'm totally converted. Your reviews are clear, concise and very informative. Plus, they haven't been extended to 30 mins+ and begin with you in a RIDICULOUS childs mask
That was an excellent idea with his shoulders. I find the "recommended transformation" from Hasbro makes them a little short. I like him a lot. I think the triple changers take a lot of undeserved critism. Hasbro could sit back and make seeker jet repaints and cash in. But with astrotrain and Tankor, they actually took the time to add some variety in the toy line and make fairly decent updates to the originals. Sign me up for a Classics Blitzwing right now.
Great review. I have him and wasn't all that impressed. I never thought of changing the shoulders the way you did. Looks MUCH better. I can't wait to get home and try it. Thank you.
i noticed if you bend the jet nose cone parts completely backwards in robot mode, that causes his shoulder joint to be in exactly the right position. this causes less space for the wings though, however they still can be folded out but at a angle. Also, Octane can hold his Crusher weapon upside down in the closed position. So if you are posing him with the two guns combined you get a blaster and a sort of Gundamesque shield look. fist holding the shield needs to be twisted outward tho.
Bought him today. My first triple changer haha. love that hes a deluxe class too, ud think they wood bring out a voyager class triple changer though, they cood make all three forms better....presumably haha
I like your robot layout. King laffo did his own variation but yours is better. ADN THE SHIELD WORKS. I always knew it could be used as a sheild somehow just never figured out the HOW part.
@goochie94 Prowl is a really nice figure. He was the first one that I bought, but if you can find this guy at a good price, get him. He's very decent, but IMO not as cool as Prowl.
I find it odd that Hasbro couldn't keep the rights to "Octane", yet Takara could. I think the Henkei version packaging pulls a Hasbro and says "Decepticon Octane"...but idk for sure.
I need to know if anyone else is having problems with their octane the waste movement for transformation on mine is starting to loosen. I would greatly appreciate some answers on it thanks
Not my personal favorite from the gen 2.0/ classics line, but I totally had to have him when I found out he was a triple changer. I think even considering that he has 3 modes... With astrotrain being such a badass, this guy is a BIT of a disappointment, but still well worth the money for an avid collector.
I have the henkei version of this toy. Partially because I'm trying to learn japanese and so I've taken to spending more for japanese releases. (Although I currently have only 2 form takara.)
@kezza1986 I love Peaugh's reviews. I get annoyed when I'm looking for a figure review and some of the other bozos have it but Peaugh doesn't. He's the best!
Noooooooooooooo;they fucked up his altmode :( Hea supposed to be a airline jet,like a Boeing,NOT a turboprop cargo thingy!!!!!!!! Transformers is RUINED FOREVER!!!!!!!!!(okay not really,but on the reasons why I loved him was cause FINALLY,a transformers who's altmode is an airline jet,not a fighter)

That fix just made me consider getting this guy, thanks for pointing that out Peaugh!
"Light our darkest hour..." that voice alone sents creepy chills down my spine.
if memory serves correctly im sure this was my very first transformers, either this, or animated optimus prime/bumblebee
he is my favorite out of the three, thanks for the tip with the arms

eco-friendly energon XD thats the thing i like about your reviews always something extra

LOL Decepticons harvesting corn. That made me laugh. 5/5
The guns on the wings make him look like animated sideswipe

Congratulations you answered a question for a contest that was over a year ago
are the eco-decepticons also going to make human corpse biodiesel?
Lol, I bought him for the same reason. I didn't know much about him, he looked good, plus he is a triple changer. But I like him.
but bulkhead worked on the energon farms
and look how he turned out!
got this guy yesterday, he's cool
Just got Tankor in a package with spark blue music label Soundwave for around $60....both already used but what the hey. Was I ripped off?
Is there even an animated sideswipe??
@goochie94 Prowl is a really nice figure. He was the first one that I bought, but if you can find this guy at a good price, get him. He's very decent, but IMO not as cool as Prowl.
I find it odd that Hasbro couldn't keep the rights to "Octane", yet Takara could. I think the Henkei version packaging pulls a Hasbro and says "Decepticon Octane"...but idk for sure.
than how about treadkill or longhaul
how do you get sideswipe confused with blitzwing?
i like your review
I need to know if anyone else is having problems with their octane the waste movement for transformation on mine is starting to loosen. I would greatly appreciate some answers on it thanks
How do you get the melee blade on his back?
@peaugh
I didn't find a link... Can you tell me the mod for it?
hey do u know why so many of the g1 figures had to have there names change...........why did hasbro lose the rights......
which is the best universe wave 1?
i just got this guy today and hes awesome!!!!
should i get this guy or prowl
i got this figure today in the mail and i like it

iron hide???
what wave is he in?
Trademark problems. The original character was called Octane, but Hasbro can't use the name, so they called him Tankor.
one thing i hate is over sized claw weapons.
they couldent think up anything else like uhhh air bullet
i got him for 6 bucks but he is missing the comb of death
lol
why is he called TANKor if hes not a TANK
@kurtanglekobebryant I just use Lego minifigs.
2:32: The Lord of the Rings.
why would you give him away, he's awesome!
I'm taking the chance to find Tankor!
I got the version with crome on it.
thats nice but i have the takara tomy version it is crome
Blitzwing transforms into a fighter jet and a tank
not a C-130 Hercules and a M978 Fueler
k thanks alot
I only bought this because he's a triple changer...
*Sigh*..I wish they would do Blitzwing...
defiately blitzwing
this should have been a leader
@kezza1986 I love Peaugh's reviews. I get annoyed when I'm looking for a figure review and some of the other bozos have it but Peaugh doesn't. He's the best!
I meant blitzwing sorry
I just won this off eBay
eco-friendly ethanol?...lol...
lol. ethanol-based energon.
id say blitzwing
Noooooooooooooo;they fucked up his altmode :( Hea supposed to be a airline jet,like a Boeing,NOT a turboprop cargo thingy!!!!!!!! Transformers is RUINED FOREVER!!!!!!!!!(okay not really,but on the reasons why I loved him was cause FINALLY,a transformers who's altmode is an airline jet,not a fighter)
