Takara Tomy Transformers Studio Series Jetfire Directions Show Combination with Optimus Prime

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:While we have lost the different paint operations and character interpretations that Takara Tomy used to give us in the generations lines, prior to the brand unity goal, we do have new information that shows that Takara is still doing a few things different from their Hasbro counterpart.

Thanks to Seibertronian Sabrblade Takara has posted their Instructions for Studio Series Jetfire, and it appears as though there have been some extra parts added to said instructions. The main things to note are the addition of a section showing how to transform Jetfire's torso, arms, and head into the big cannon his combined form with Optimus Prime wields, as well as the addition of a section showing that you can store the Optimus Prime ab section that Jetfire comes with on his back, which is something that so far, no one has reported doing.

Before now, people could only guess how Jetfire formed the gun, but now we have some official instructions to show us how.

Check out the directions by following the link above, and let us know if this helps you form your Powered up Optimus Prime below!

That big ass hole in the back of his truck mode is glaring, but ultimately forgivable.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, we all know if there was something to fill that area in, it'd just end up making his backpack bigger

Also, you're seriously swaying me towards getting this, I take your opinion's seriously in fig's I'm on the fence on, and I think I'll have to get him if I see him in hand

So your biggest gripe is a back of a cab that isn’t that far from accurate to a real semi truck cab?

Ever seen the back of a cab? They’re pretty gappy, see through and unnatractive. Most bak wheel areas of a cab is just a frame with wheels

Thank you. I was going to say this myself.

No, that listing says a Studio Series voyager and leader Megatron, only 2 SS figures on the list too. Wonder if we are set to get another TLK Megatron and a Movie 1 Megatron

Hellscream9999 wrote:So... Shatter... possibly the worst ss figure so far?

Beyond the fact that she falls to pieces at any given moment, the arms don't lock into anything in vehicle mode? But, man, oh man, he knee-to-armpit kibble panels are awful, especially as she already has compromised thigh articulation;

Stay away from this figure, guess this makes scrapmetal the only good figure from the wave

Cogman is an excellent figure, even if not a new mold to the Studio Series. The TLK figure was fantastic, and now we have one with a pristine paint job and better detail applications.

Wouldn't Galvy be voyager sized?

You guys still have Toys "R" Us. I think that's a fair trade-off.

I can agree with this. In Alt mode she is, and I think in alt mode she shall stay. We need a jet version of her now that is hopefully far better. Here's hoping muscle car Dropkick is good too, they both need a really good figure that they deserve

Nathaniel Prime wrote:Finally found the new wave of Studio Series deluxes. Shatter does look lackluster after seeing her, Cogman looks good(it's the first time actually seeing the mold for me) and Scrapmetal looks good too. Barricade has finally disappeared, but the ever so disappointing Crankcase is still there. No voyagers at my local Walmart, but I did find Rampage and SS38 at the next town's Walmart.

I am 90% sure online retailers will just sell the whole team as an assortment like what they did with POTP Volcanicus. Hasbro could do an exclusive set with the whole team, and a redecoed Rampage in yellow and Devastator with a red face. Could be an exclusive similar to Throne of The Primes Primal, or SDCC Devastator.

It would also be cool if they replaced Scrapmetal with the third bulldozer in such a box set

I honestly highly doubt it. Considering the combined price is going to be $260, which is $100 more than any Titan we've gotten, I don't think they're gonna box him up.

But I do think towards the end of the year and beginning of next year, the currently out constructicons will be repackaged in later waves like Dropkick

Sorry for my incompetence, but Dropkick was repacked? Does that help explain his shelfwarming?
