You beat me to the post by like 30 seconds

FP'd & C'd

SOLD! imma buyin mah TFs! holy crap1 that is awesome!

Amazing! Ugly shoulderpads and huge backpack kibble!

Ugh, the combined mode is bad (it will make me feel better to not buy Prime), but the blackbird mode sells it.

Seeing Jetfire properly posed he doesn't look as bad as I thought he would. Not too sure about the combined mode but I will be getting both and displaying them separately.

Ok, I'm really motivated to buy a Transformers with a cane. yeah, real menacing there standing with your cane and mini gun. And the combined mode is a backpack? C'mon.

I'm still wondering what the rasoning is having wheels attached to the bottom of a cane are. The second one puts any weight on them, they slide right out and boom; straight to the hospital

I was already sold on Prime,and this just might have sold me Jetfire. Dependin hs role and action in the movie, his articulation, and everything else, I might get him.

As usual, I'll wait for a video review.

I'm not particularly impressed with the combined mode, and Jetfire's alt mode is equally unimpressive. Pass on Jetfire, maybe Prime if the movie is decent.

Not so much combined as mashed together but I do like the look of Jetfire. I will probably end up getting Prime too even though I have the leader from the first film.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That's it? That's the kewlz nu 'combined feature' on those two forty+ dollar toys??


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The BFG in combined mode is very Armada!

No way. If it was Armada then Jetfire would clearly be the pants.

I'm actually liking the fact that Jetfire is a backpack instead of actually "Powerlinking". I knew Leader Optimus Prime was just too poseable to form some sort of Gestalt with Jetfire, seeing as he doesn't have a hidden head.

First thing I'm going to do with mine is get rid of that stupid cane. As for the combined mode, MEH. I'm sure it will look better on screen and on the key chain.

I don;t think you can get rid of the cane. Judging by the wheels it could be his landing gear in vehicle mode.

Anyway I love the look of the figure and will pick him up. The combined form doesn't look that great but I hope the nose pieces can be folded downward and out of the way.

I really like the Leader class stuff this time around.

I'm all over these.

I dunno about that man. I mean, have you ever seen an old curmudgeon defending his lawn from pesky kids? Scary stuff.

So jetfire turns into a backpack so Prime can have some thing to carry his spare parts in? Yeah im passing on jetfire. The figure sucks and this combination (if you can even call it that) is worthless. Prime looks good at least. Thats $50 saved.

I'm really not sure what all the fuss is about or why everyone seems to have been expecting the two to combine into some completely new form like Devestator...

It seems fairly apparent that Jetfire becomes Prime's jetPACK to allow him to fly...What more in that does there need to be?

Perhaps people simply expect the combined mode to not look as awful/lazy/etc.

dont care much for, nor surprised by the combined form. Still want jetfire reguardless. hes got to be the single most off the wall transformer ever.

Nothing will beat the Galaxy Force combo of Sonic Convoy. This train wreck looks horrid next to Sonic.

Personally, I was hoping for a combination more along the lines of Armada, but after seeing this combination it makes perfect sense.

Think for a moment. Jetfire is a Decepticaon gon Autobot who's been sleeping for who know how many years. Prime may be old, but his body is up to date. It's safe to assume that They needed to figure out how to get Prime airborne quickly so the fact that Jetfire was able to modify himself into a jetpack seems perfectly logical. It's nothing too fancy, but it will get the job done.

So far, I'm very impressed with everything I've seen for the movie. I'm glad I didn't buy very many Animated figures.

That's, uh... unique. Combined mode isn't for me, their scales are just too far off for that. Jetfire is now a must-buy, tho, that Blackbird mode is teetses, and his robot mode looks really mechanical and alien. There goes another $45.

i'm sold on Jetfire. i think he looks good as a stand alone character! i like the fact that he turns into a jetpack on Prime(even if the toys combined look pretty weak). with the ability to fly it gives Prime a whole new dimension in combat!

Prime is really nice although I just don't need another movie leader Prime in my collection. The combined mode will probably look cool onscreen but doesn't translate well to plastic-was to be expected though.

I just hope that leader Starscream looks good.

Why so serious guys? It could be a jetpack for all we know!

Isn't it supposed to be his landing gear? With that in mind... landing gear tends to have a handbreak


Either way, these will be mine... I love how these look

Well without a doubt Jetfire will be his Jetpack.

However look at Optimus Prime itself. He's one of the best figures released in recent times. While he's freaking amazing, he's pretty bulky with most of his body. Now add Jetfire, another Leader Class. Their combination is not only channeling Armada Optimus Prime + Jetfire, but it's channeling their toy form too. From the looks of it it's going to be another Jet Chunkimus. And I love it.

I don't know... but the combined mode looks more like Jetfire is doing something to Optimus from... er... behind.

Anyway, I have to say that I like both figures. That picture with Jetfire on his cane holding a chaingun is priceless. What a great 'scary' pose! LOL

Prime looks awesome (as usual)
Jetfire is growing on me. He doesn't look as bad as I thought and even the cane is starting to look kinda cool. However, I'm not sure if I can forgive all the kibble under the Blackbird mode. I'll have to see it in person...
The combined mode isn't all that great. I really was expecting something awesome. The backpack just seems lazy, especially when you compare him to another Prime combination known as Omega Prime.

Exactly! That's exactly what I've been saying all along...

I don't see anything unreasonable about this combination at all..They're not combining into some epic new Uber-Robot or anything like that and nobody ever said they would...It's just a utilitarian joining and probably a quick one at that...

wow...thats craptcular.

they dont look combined at all, just like jetfire's attached to his back. i'm sure it'll look cool in the actual movie but yeah.

but cool looking toys on their own though.

The toy doesn't look very good, but if the keychain is anything to go by, it will look infinitely better in the movie.

From the keychain picture, My entrepreneurial eye suggests that Hasbro will somehow release another mold of Leader Optimus Prime + Jetfire combined. As they would say, more 'movie accurate'.

My physics eye suggests that it's not freaking possible. That keychain suggests that Optimus Prime is pretty much covered with Jetfire armor. Looks like lots of Jetfire's parts need to be split up into different pieces. There's no way for it to happen unless Jetfire's armor parts are an add-on of some sort and don't combine to make a Jetfire toy.

Ok...ill be buying both Jetfire and Optimus (leaders) but they wont be doing much combining. that combined mode looks more like optimus with a jetpack, and in size comparison, the jet is much larger then the truck...so it should be more of jetfire. i hope this isn't all the combination does...i heard the wings turn into guns...or something, hopefully if the twins combine (figures) theirs will look better.

Red...Decepticon...symbol?

Shattered Glass meets the movie. Sweet.

After another look at the keychain, I've come up with a theory:
I'm geussing they have some kind of fusion" in the movie. I'm thinking something like allspark energy breaks Jetfire apart and welds him onto optimus or something. I just don't see how Jetfire could break into so many parts and seperate so much realisticly. Especially while having to be able to turn into a Jet as well.

I can't wait to get Jetfire and stick him on the shelf waving his cane at the Youngbots! "Kids these days!"

The Prime is really nice but I'm going to try and avoid buying returning characters 'cept the Voyager Bumblebee, for me that's a must. Mind you if money improves by the time he goes on clearance...

Don't discount a character because he has a cane. The last movie character I remember with a cane was Yoda, and he kicked serious ass.

Combined mode.. meh. I'll be passing on prime. Already have the Takara Premium version, and Hasbro Nightwatch version, making him largely unnecessary for me. Jetfire, I'll pick up, but will hold off until Takara releases a vacuum-metal premium version (crossing fingers)

This is true. I'll prob display him in robot mode anyway, but in jet mode, I may stand him up on his tail so all you see is the top of the jet mode.

Blackbirds rule.

Is it just me or does it look like this a little more articulation in the "shoulder pad" part of the combined mode? Maybe it's a bit misformed? either way the combined mode is kinda growing on me and Jetfire's bot mode is friggin' awesome!

Looks great! But I'm not buying anything until I see the Premium Series.

Looking at the toys and the keyring, I hate to say it...



There really isn't much difference. The extra armour being imagined is just metallic bits of both bots that have been given a metallic drybrush.

The only main difference is the BFG.

Both of these figures look great! But the only thing is that Jetfire is black and grey, not red and white. Same with Starscream, he is tan and black,not red, white, and blue! But Optimus looks even better than he did originally, I love the flames! So, I guess it all evens out!

But that's the way how they all transform in the movie, stuff moving all over the place

why does jetfire have decepticon insgnia's all over him? I don't get it. I think this line will only be good to buy for customs and repaints, I'll focus the rest my money on buyin Gen1 toys

Hm. That's gonna look... Interesting on the Big Screen. Still, I'm grabbin them both! This is gonna be an expensive summer...
