    It's this real? It's got 'class action suit' written on all over it if Harmony Gold gets wind of it?

    I hope it's real as it looks awesome and nicely redeems official toys by telling us that Hasbro can indeed make something fans (and kids) want.

    ...Having said that, I do see weird things like false cockpit chest and possible 'robot with plane backpack that folds in' engineering like Universe Silverbolt - That is a bit concerning.

    If it's real, it's amazing, but I wonder why they bother making it look so Valkyrieish - would it not make sense to make it as animation-model accurate as possible in vehicle mode, thus eliminating the potential fallout?

    The Harmony Gold v Hasbro case was "Dismissed with Prejudice", which basically means it's over & that Harmony Gold cannot take the same matter to court over & over.

    I'd assume to attempt to please both camps; consequently probably pleasing no-one

    To me it looks like a tribute of sorts....to the 30 year complication for hasbro that was skyfire

    When this showed up on the list of leaked figures I said "great Classicsverse Leader Jetfire". Then some punk said "No it's going to be a reissue of ROTF Leader Jetfire". Well guess who got the last laugh.

    Just looking over the pictures again, he appears to share a lot of transformation similarities with his Classis predecessor

    Very interesting, it looks quite nice, though it still seems to be stuck between the cartoon version and the toy.

    I wouldn't have said we needed a new CHUG Jetfire, though he does look nice.

    In that case, I wonder if the Veritech^Valkyrie design was done as an "in yer face!" to Harmony Gold. Although I also do wonder if this might create issues for TakaraTOMY to release this toy in Japan.
