Lockheed (comics)}}]].
The fifth figure in the Collaborative line, Ultimate X-Spanse transforms into a licensed Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird based on the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Blackbird (comics)|{{#if:X-Jet|X-Jet|Blackbird (comics)}}]]. X-Spanse reuses multiple vehicle mode parts from Studio Series Leader Class Jetfire. His design and deco is inspired by the X-Men costumes from the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}X-Men (TV series)|{{#if:1992 animated series|1992 animated series|X-Men (TV series)}}]], even featuring Rob Liefeld-esque pouches and a flip-up visor based on that of [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Cyclops (comics)|{{#if:Cyclops|Cyclops|Cyclops (comics)}}]]. X-Spanse boasts an impressive range of articulation in robot mode, including a ball-jointed inner-shoulder, a double-ratcheted knee bend, and a slight ab crunch with additional side-to-side.
X-Spanse includes two figurines of Wolverine and Sabretooth, as well as an energy blast effect and an energy claw that attach to either of the 5 mm ports on his hands and an energy aura based on that of [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Psylocke|{{#if:||Psylocke}}]] that can be attached to either figurine. In addition to his hands, the blast effect and energy claw parts can store on his landing gear or under his wings in either mode. Strangely, the blast effects lack the typical 3 mm port sculpted on the 5 mm post. X-Spanse has over twenty X's sculpted into various spots on his body.
The tolerances of X-Spanse's wing hinges are quite loose, often being unable to hold their own weight and flopping downwards. As per the box and instructions, X-Spanse's wings are intended to be forward swept, accurate to most common depictions of the X-Jet, but some stock photos feature the wing pieces erroneously swapped over, more closely resembling a real life Blackbird.
In the United States, this toy was released by Hasbro Pulse and Target on March 1, 2021. On March 4, 2021, the set was made available on Mighty Ape for New Zealand consumers. The packaging is designed to resemble 1990s [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Toy Biz|{{#if:ToyBiz|ToyBiz|Toy Biz}}]] packaging, which is awesome.
