Zeta Toys ZV02 FLASH Transformers Masterpiece Transformers Bumblebee Movie BLITZWING Review 

Ag1, lr621 should be the correct batteries, have six in my zeta Flash and they work. Only issue I have is the led pack keeps falling out of one of my thrusters.

This would never survive a review by BobbySkullface

Late comment, but I've been fiddling with this figure for the week since I got it, and noticed a couple things. 1. If your wing flaps don't rotate freely or line up well, check if they fit better swapped around. While they all look identical, there are separate left and right molds for each pair; you can tell by a small round mark on one corner. Mine fit best when all four have the pin mark facing up. I also noticed a similar issue with one of the folding wingtips, and had to detach it and flip the hinge around before it fit nicely. 2. The jet mode can actually mount all 8 missiles it comes with. The two tabs under the intakes in front can hold two of the larger missiles, while the other two can fit into some recessed slots directly under the wing mounts (you _might_ be able to squeeze them onto the rear tabs near the engines, but the tabs are angled oddly). The markings on the MA release look a bit better, but what sold me on the Zeta was that it actually has more accurate panel lines to the real jet, and I think the overall proportions just make a more attractive aircraft, especially in the tail section, which seems bigger. I'm making a couple of small mods to mine, to fix a couple of personal preferences. First thing, the stock pylons are actually upside down, so I drilled a hole and filed a new slot to tab them on the other direction. I'm currently debating whether to cut off the weird spikes on the wings, since Im' not sure they look good enough in bot mode to lave them on the jet.

Those are actually drop tanks, not bombs. The horizontal stabilizer (tail fins) should be canted downward at like a 30 degree angle, while the wing tips should be canted slightly upward. Definitely the most accurate jet mode so far, although still a bit stubby. At least it looks like a F-4 Phantom II, unlike the Studio Series Blitzwing which is just ?????

thank you for being so detailed in your review. and going in depth on the differences between two competing offerings. Not everyone will go into like that but instead give a quick comparison. I have now been able to make up my mind on which to go with. Awesome stuff as always

There's also a little black piece you can fold out inside the nose cone to attach it more firmly.

they have done a nice job I had pre-loaded it and it came to me on Friday and I transformed it into a phantom f 4 and it is very nice as a fighter in that it has all the weapons that it had in the movie

It's interesting how he's got Armada Starscreams colors while Thrust also has his Armada colors

You can also open the cockpit on the plane. You are a great reviewer Ben, one of RU-vid's best

What a MASSIVE piece . Oh man ! Its gorgeous

Also, you can get water decal stickers. They are better than those tape decals. Just by the phantom model they are about $20.00. And you can use their USAF Flag decal on the wings.

It looks great in robot mode and in the jet mode I think the jet just looks a little squashed like we the nose are a little stubby plus the body could be longer. But for the robot mode the just looks good and if someone isn't a jet nerd they probably won't notice Also slight correction the things on the wings and center are "drop tanks" fuel tanks designed to be discarded when empty or in combat Also 1 thing it is missing is the 4 fuselage mounted missiles (on the real phantom aim-7 sparrows) both of these only have the wing mounted aim-9 missiles

Great review and comparison! I like the overall look of MA, but still feel like the engineering is a bit too advanced for their quality of parts and assembly. Zeta seems much more polished in terms of material quality and assembly to support what they have to offer.

Great review Ben! Blitzwing looks awesome! One of the best Alt-modes I ever seen. Jet mode is so realistic! I may need to pick this particular movie series character up!

AG0 is what ShowZ recommend and they work in mine. On the other hand, it states AG1 are correct in the instructions.

Interesting enough those "giant boom things" are actually gas canister I didn't knew until my Younger brother told me about it 😳

The batteries are 379. Fit perfectly

I just got mine and unfortunately the vendor forgot the wings and mask I hope they get it to me soon

Looking at the two of them together, I'm kind of glad I found a ThreeZero DXL version of Blitzwing for under $200. Zeta's isn't bad by any means, but the overall look of the official's figure looks quite a bit better IMO.

The zeta toy's figure looks so much better than the zera toys figure, except the head, the face needs some silver

Check out PrimeVPrime's vid on the Mech Alliance version. When he pointed out that tab/slot in the crotch area that changed everything. When you see the SX-01 in jetmode properly tabbed in it's a beautiful piece. Got my Zeta on the way as well, he'll end up in bot mode I assume.

Ben, can you make a video of how to install the battery? It would be extreme helpful.

I feel stupid just commenting on your other one with mechanical alliance lol asking you which one I should get or if I should get the other one rather. It's hard though man because I'm sorry but the mechanical alliance looks better in my opinion (IMO)... OF COURSE IT'S PERSONAL CHOICE brother, but for me it's like wow dude. Zeta toys looks a lot more sturdy. again, AMAZING review. you really helped me I mean I'm not sure which one I'm going to get yet but now I'm very well informed.

I finally got this figure yesterday and he is so amazing. Was pretty hard to do the legs cus I got stuck and couldnt figure out why the legs wouldnt connect with the top half of the jet. Also is it just mine but did the stand adjustments feel way too tight? I cant even use the stand because of it

Very impressive engineering. Nice bot.

would you be mad if I said I think you made the mechanical alliance look easier than this? lol you're really good at this I don't know how you do it I would have lost my mind

Noticed a lot of people don't really review this figurefor some reason, mine should arrive within 2 days and noticed you had some bit mistransformered compared it online images.

The price makes it easy! They are the same price!

I just got this figure and its been a transformation nightmare....i cannot for the life of me get it into vehicle and the wings fall off... After 3 hours i decided to leave it in robot and never transform it.

So conflicted between getting this and the MA one, argh!

So which one personally would be better to enjoy transform constantly? I hesrd thunder warrior can break easily in certain areas but looks better and zeta has mixed opinions. Would zeta be better to get than TW

Spent 4 days trying to transform mine. Took 2.5 hours just to undo the shoulders the first time. Way too tight. Clearances way too small. Arm torn off twice because tiny screw pulls out of plastic under strain. And won't position correctly in alt mode so can't close bottom bay. Top half and bottom half have nearly 1cm gap so can't connect together. This one goes on my dud pile. A big miss.

ZV02 vs SX01 which is better. Seems this has more accurate thigh

I just got this guy today and I'm not too impressed. The wings do not stay on. You breath next to him and they fall out. The cockpit section keeps sliding left and right. And a few leg panels seem loose.

FLASH SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE

Awesome review, for my, Zeta is better

Hi may I know which version has a more accurate movie head ?

Tell me Ben, where can i find part for the zeta flash , i broke one of my wing while transforming it

Hey Ben does this measure up to the third party Bay verse stars cream aka star adjutant?

This thing clobbers Thunder Warrior. Better sculpt and much sturdier with better qc. Great review 👍

What was inside of the small box that you show when start the video?

Ben, you do know that the correct British pronunciation of "route" is "root" , whereas the non-British/American version is "r-ow-t", right?

I wish you would've should your audience how to put the faceplate on and the LEDs. There are no instructions for that. They may not know.

That transformation though... Yikes!

Greatest!

Imma disagree with on this one for me mechanical alliance looks much better the paint for me looks better and looks like a transformable version of threezero really the only thing is the tail of the jet being to small but overall the figure looks better to man zetas may be sturdier but thats it it looks to lanky and the neck is to tall plus a heard zetas shoulders have some issues when you ronate it a certain it breaks and people keep talking about the scale for zeta works better but disagree thunder warrior scale works better and i much rather him be slightly shorter than Optimus because the height overall is more accurate to movie.

I think you uploaded this on the wrong channel…. :’(

Got this item with a broken tailwing and no one will replace it in stores and forums, any ideas

i cant help but notice he did the elevators the wrong side

This legit makes me fully regret buying the mechanical alliance version.... Its a terrible figure... This one looks WAY better!

The paint apps on this are hideous.

Comparing an (intentionally?) heavily mistransformed and (intentionally?) ill-posed SX-01 with a ZV02 you pull all your love into? Oh, how unbiased of you!

My Flash has the light grey, curved groin, just like Ben’s. A lot of the others in pictures and in reviews have the dark grey/black diecast piece with the visible central screw/hole. I wonder what the difference is and why not all have it? It’s less screen accurate, but I prefer the look of it.

23:25 _me, as an avgeek:_ * facepalm * "It's a drop tank. A. drop. TANK." Also, the deco on the Mechanical Alliance's nose seems to be more accurate. Great review though, and I'll happily take that older figure off your hands!

Anyone else thinking about getting this and painting it to look like starscream? 😁

Initially, I ordered the Mech. Alliance Blitzwing. It looks great, has amazing painting... But comparing them, and watching your review, I switched to the Zeta model. The robot figure has better scaling... the lower legs on Thunder warrior are too short, legs too lean), and the TW F4 jet is just wrong - the tail section is far too small, out of proportion and not like the real life Phantom. The cockpits are probably too large on both. Such a fantastic looking’bot though! Might do some additional painting if needed. I have the MA Wasp Warrior, and it is super cool!
