Star Eagle came THIS close to being her beast mode.

Transformers Legacy Haslab Bluebolts (2025)

When Haslab Omega Prime was designed, they saw an opportunity to take the convoluted fiction around Ultra Magnus' weapon and turn it into a Deluxe-sized Weaponizer/Battlemaster.

@mighty_orbot I mean, come on, in all but name! This was very clearly the deco source. I think we, as a fandom, can collectively agree this is her. I mean, unless Hasbro creates a meaningful bio fo- *snrk*

Sorry, couldn't finish that last sentence with a straight face.

@triphazard I agree, but the colors on Star Eagle aren’t QUITE the same as Blue Bolts, and I’m not sure I have the means to do a proper repaint at home.

I’ll get Star Eagle if it’s on discount, but not before. Maybe I don’t even have to add much paint, just strip off the paint that’s there.

@mighty_orbot That depends on the Blue Bolts you look at. If you mean the way she looks in the manga, yes, it's pretty off. If you look at the Legacy toy though, it's a very near match. The color layout is a VERY near thing, allowing for differences in the two toys. It shows unmistakable intent, under the guise of a patriotic symbol.

@triphazard I agree it’s very close! I’m just saying it’s not quite close enough for my liking. But I’ll probably settle for “close enough” in the end.
