Id say it was more that Rob Liefeld forced them upon us and no-one had the good sense to tell him to stop.

So thats what jetfire looked like in his younger days
This is the first one of these that I have to actively resist myself from committing to. Ectotron and Gigawatt have been interesting curiosities but I haven't felt driven to own them.
I loved the 90's X-men series, and feel this is a great combination of the two properties
Official images and info added to first post.
The size (8.5 inches) is about Leader size, which are usually US$50 in America... so this one is still a bit more than that, priced at US$65.
If it comes here (I haven't been told yet), that would make it about AU$120-150, based on what other exclusive items translate into here.
I think it looks nice.
Comparing it to Studio Series Jetfire, I think the most of the jet part on the top of the jet mode is the same (the panels that make up the jet mode that sit on the back of the robot mode), but the robot bits underneath (and legs/jet engines) are completely different.
"To me, my X-Spanse!"
this looks pretty awesome, i think i will grab it. i loved ectotron, gigawatt seems not bad but for me this is more visually interesting and i also love xmen
