generations leader class Jetfire

hmm, as long as it doesn't have shoulder issues.... Hasbro has been a terrible lately when it comes to designing good shoulders. Just looks at Gen Blitzwing, Gen Perceptor and Bayverse Brawl - the shoulder issues on hthese figures are really terrible considering today's toy design technology. Just ruins a good toy, especially since you can't play with it if it falls apart in just a few shakes. :rolleyes:

too much CAD design, and too little focus on quality. Happens to a lot of toy sadly.

...Masterpiece Lamborghini... :rolleyes: :o

I was concerned that we'd have visible hand syndrome again but it looks the arms fold in to the middle and the hands *might* stow in behind the thrusters. Don't mind that the chest is a cheat.

I'd like to see some photos of the undercarriage.

That's something my missus would say. :p

Looks amazing, please be real.
Will make Classics Jetfire disappear into the shadows in my CHUG collection

I think Classics Jetfire is still an excellent toy. This toy looks a lot more panelformery at the back of the robot mode; possibly because it transforms from "Skyfire" in robot mode to "Jetfire" in jet mode. Classics Jetfire on the other hand does well in incorporating a good amount of the jet mode into the robot. And of course, it's a smaller/cheaper Voyager that came out 7 years ago.

+1 my only gripe with this toy is balance and those lazy feet.

Should this figure see the light of day, I'll be all over it :D; I own the original Classicsverse mold in 2 flavours and that wouldn't deter me from picking this up at all :cool:, but if he indeed comes in a 2-pack with a new Leader Class Megatron (Toted to be the "Definitive" iteration) then it is going to cost a fortune to obtain this figure. :p

I sure hope the AUD improves by the time of this possible release, because you can bet Hasbro AU will drop the ball on offering it locally - They're a stickler for tradition you see. ;)
