Via wwevskof of ACToys we have a look at the Platinum Edition versions of Blitzwing and Astrotrain. The two feature unique new decos, which are thought to be inspired by Flywheels (for Blitzwing) and Transformers Victory’s Machtackle (for Astrotrain). It’s worth noting that Blitzwing has had his missile launchers removed for this release.
Check out the images attached to this post.

Transformers Platinum edition G1 Blitwzing and Astrotrain reissues are FINALLY OUT
I'm saving the 3 Transformers Platinum edition G1 Blitzwing and Astrotrain reissues for Collectormania 24 at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes (Hopefully I'll be saving up at least £200 for 3 sets so I'll be keeping my fingers' crossed in the mean time). Why Would I want 3 Transformers Platinum edition G1 Blitzwing and Astrotrain reissues you would ask? Its because I'm displaying the first set in land vehicle form, the third set in flight vehicle form and the third set in robot form with No Stickers being applied onto them so therefore, the boxes that they come in will be in tacked along with the paperwork and instructions. I'll be setting that plan into action during 2016 so Fingers' crossed.

I think they're stupendous !

I just want to know where these will be exclusive to. They're up on eBay from china, but I'd rather get them 20% off from HTS or whatever.

Excellent!
That's just brilliant sir!
Exinferis
That's a good question. I'd like to see them with their stickers applied; maybe they'll look better?
Basketball Jones
Yeah, are there stickers or something for Blitzwing that were not applied? Where's the visual interest? The sword looks awful.
Exinferis
I don't think I've ever seen a Platinum Edition set in the UK and, for once, I'm actually quite glad!
Astrotrain is one of my favourite childhood toys and they did that to him?! Ergh.
And Blitzwing [even more than Astrotrain] looks like he should be on the shelves in Poundland; he's just so cheap looking. Just awful.

One day, Maz's decendants will be writing lengthy articles about these ultra-rare and coveted color variants in great detail on TFW2105, and how his grandpa never picked them up when he had the chance.
Today, they just look like someone accidentally hit the Invert Colors function when they made the blueprints.

Just Awful . Such a wasted opportunity to have some cool figs.

The only sense I can make of these is that they could serve as "Killing Jar" universe versions of the characters. They are completely stupid looking, just like the colors of the characters in that episode.

What this guy said.
I can't stand these colors: absolutely awful. That while I love the molds.

Pass for me. Those colors are too strange.
Chump
The colors make them look cheap and knock-off like. I will order a set nonetheless.
The New Guy
I actually really like that Blitzwing, and I never did own any version of G1 Blitzwing which makes it appeal even more. I don't especially like Astrotrain though, and already own the G1 version so the set is moving towards a pass.

Who the hell is this garbage aimed at? These things look like Rainbow Brite got wasted and puked on them.
