NITRO ZEUS
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px] POSSIBLE FOR WALLPAPER USE)
Nitro Zeus
or Nitro for short, is a powerful, merciless hunter, using his vast arsenal and formidable tracking skills to locate and capture whatever targets Megatron demands. Shockwave's death on Earth greatly angered him, and now both humanity and the Autobots are in Nitro's sights.
Unlike Shockwave, who is a hunter and assassin, Nitro is more of a stalker. Even off the battlefield, Nitro makes it his business to know everything he can about where you live and who you associate with, just in case. Ever since Nitro was taken prisoner by humans, he's been passing the time by tracking his captors' families. Fortunately, Nitro is such a braggart that he'll share all his intel before he gets a chance to use it.
Nitro thinks that he's some sort of celebrity among the humans. After all, if they expend so much effort to keep him in his cell, he must be a big deal! As a result, Nitro's taken to wearing a gold chain around his neck, because that's what human celebrities seem to do!

Alt mode 360 GIF.
Top view. Although the jet fighter is not looking like in the movie, but the design is still looking good. (of course I prefer the jet fighter is like in the movie, not really sure it is the J-39 jet fighters, just a few glimpse on the jet in the movie)
A TLK series figure with a Titanmasters cockpit slot.
Some details in the cockpit, it is quite nice.
Landing gear is available, and the robot fist is annoying to show out just like that, can't they make a swivel joint to turn around the fist so it wouldn't look that bad?
One of the weird part that the two jet turbine is under the wings, so, it can hover? But the other side of the wings don't have any intakes or holes...
The whole torso is just showing under the jet fighter, and there is a display stand peg hole in the middle on the chest.
The peg in the middle of the wing is useless if want the wing lay straight, because the peg hole on the leg is much lower than the wing position, wings will wrinkle if push too low.
The small side fin on the jet fighter nose can pull out for extra wings.
The jet engine is actually the nozzle of the cannon.
And it can pull out, like some kind of maintenance purpose, haha.
Jet mode comparing to Shockwave's alt mode.
Robot mode 360 GIF.
Close up on Nitro's face. This figure body design show up on AOE before, but it is not Nitro, they are clone Decepticons, and this head look not like in the TLK movie nor AOE movie, the face is looking same in AOE, but not the ears(antenna?).
And the head is removable to reveal that he is actually a transtector!! (just kidding, don't know why Hasbro do that, maybe later TR series will release a special character with this figure base? Changing torso piece...?)
The removed head is also compatible with TR series figures, but not suitable for Leader class figures, because they normally cover up with helmet.
The torso design is nice, look same like in the movie. No chain included in this figure sets, maybe get a Lego chains to do that? I hope I still got extra chains.
The backpack is huge including the skirt, it would be better if the whole tail fin kibble can fold half onto the back..
The right arm is formed a shield from the jet fighter head, the cockpit seat is still usable in robot mode.
Two big fat legs of Nitro, it was form by multiple armor pieces in the movie, but this looks nearly as cool.
The back is just some minor engine details.
Backpack can move up and down, so those rockets can aim, so as the backpack engines.
Backpack is form by the wings, it is totally hollow, turbine jets become the cover of the top. He is one of the transformed TF figure that look closest to the movie. (except the head)
Head is in ball joint, it can turn 360, but it is a little tight.
There is a lots of space in the Titanmaster connector port, makes the head wiggle a lots. It can be better if glue a thin black plastic plate in the port.
The right arm shield is obstructed the elbow movement, make the joint only fold 70 degree angle.
Left arm elbow joint is a little better, it can fold 90 degree angle. Shoulder armor is not fixed, it will open up if lifted up the shoulder.
Hip joints works really well, knee joint can go more than 90 degree fold, and the knee armor can fold to the thigh too, feet can go forward/backward, but no tilting joint, what a bummer.
No hand held weapon, but he got this cannon on his left arm, the most different from the movie to this is, it didn't have an energy tubing behind the cannon, like Shockwave one.
But he best of this cannon is, it got extendable barrel, ready to shoot.
The right hand. This is more like a melee weapon or shield, I don't see any muzzle or holes for shooting ammunition, haha.
But the hand can hold basic 5 mm peg TF weapons.
There is another display peg hole under the hip, like b hole...... Ouch. 😣
Stand side to side with Shockwave, Shockwave is a lot smaller than Nitro.
Face comparisons, the real Nitro is looking exactly like Shockwave, this is something else... (maybe some other[3rd] company could make some replacement parts for the figure?)
Transformers Movie different class figures size comparisons.
Compare to TR series.
"Thank you for your hospitality, say hello to your wife for me!"
Later, he become the sidekick of Lord Megatron.
"You blew your chance to kill Unicron!" (I found out there is different narrative in the movie, one of them is Nitro don't even talk in this scene)
Nitro Zeus kills a lots of Autobots in the battle, and he is finishing the last one on his sight.
"Who's next!?" Nitro yell out for next opponent.
"Me!!" Scorn came out from nowhere and attack Nitro!
Both fights hand to hand immediately.
"You think you can ambush me? Not that easy, fossil!"
Scorn take a few blast from Nitro.
And Nitro is using the rockets to finish the job.
BOOOOMMM---!!
"Hahaha, scrap fossils you are, Autobots!" Nitro is really happy about he blown up the Dinobot.
"Huh? What's that?"
How could a few rockets can finish off a mighty Dinobot?
Scorn came to Nitro's head and start bitting off his head!
Scorn easily torn off the head, and chew it.
He leave after finish chewing the head.
A few moment later...
Someone is coming...
Wait, who is that?
"Looks like the coast is clear." Octane.
"Put me down here, Octane." a mysterious Headmaster order Octane.
"Yes, this body is suitable for 'transtecting', let me do a few modifications..."
"Hold up the body a bit more will you? Transform---!"
"Head on---!"
"Thunderwing, sir, it works!", "Yes, it works perfectly." Looks like it is Thunderwing all along, seems like he lost his body while ago, now he got a new one.
"Now, Octane, move up to our next plan..." he is planning something...
And so, Nitro meet his demise...?
(bonus) Titanmaster Thunderwing.
Side. The torso and the face is die-cast, the rest is plastic, but this small figure feels heavy.
I never think of a Titanmaster figure will have a die-cast material, this is the first, and I like it a lot, just the details will not be as sharp as made of plastic one.
In head mode. The sculpt is really nice, even in die-cast, but mine the paint is a little bad. The mouth looks more beastly than the older one, and look more like a feline animal, such like cheetah or tiger.
Titanmaster Thunderwing on Nitro Zeus body, looking cool.
Side. The craws-like things on the stomach kind of matches what Thunderwing use to be like some organism.
This look like butterfly...
The paint on the die-cast part is more like pearl white paint, color not really match the torso, but still looks acceptable.
The terror of Cybertron, Thunderwing!
Thanks for watching!
