    Its easy to get excited at first glance! but when I had a good look it just seems like a new version of the original classics version, agreeing with some previous posts. The robot looks great, but the jet just doesn't appeal to me so much. I really am looking forward to a cartoon accurate version one day. A
    3rd party will beat Hasbro, this is a missed opportunity. Its great for someone who doesn't yet own the classics version can now pick this one up.

    Looks good so far. I like the fact they've improved the feet since the Classics Voyager. The faux-cockpit chest suggests a significantly different transformation to the previous version, too. Hopefully he won't be too back-heavy.

    On the jet design: On the one hand, I get that people would want a more screen-accurate version of the character (Skyfire), but on the other hand, I understand that the Classics line is about updated versions of the toys. The previous version seemed to be a good compromise between the two: the Tomcat body with a squared-off cockpit and nose. I personally think a 'fully' screen-accurate version would have been better, but this design is nonetheless good-looking.

    Can we expect a lot of second-hand Classics Jetfires in the next few months?

    This is a surprise, coming among all the movie/comic toys.

    I hope the alt mode is good, and doesn't have robot arms dangling along the side like the Generations one. There's not enough shown to tell how much kibble is on the underside. The side view of the alt mode looks reminiscent of Voyager Dreadwing.

    This is a rare case where I don't want screen accuracy. I never did like Skyfire the flying sci-fi box-thing.

    Looks like my Voyager Jetfire will be relegated to being a fan-mode combiner with my Voyager Prime.

    I'm happy with my Voyager. Would have been excited for a classics Leader Shockwave.

    Fan-bloody-tastic. Hope it's legit, doesn't get cost-cut to mediocrity and hits our local shelves.

    Now i'm all out of bloody wishes

    Probably the one millionth iteration of Bumblebee.

    This robot is not looking like valkyrie they cannot bring them to court. There is no gerwalk mode And colours do not match any harmony gold.

    I do not dig the plane Mode as that's not the plane I know but the robot mode is great.

    Be very interesting to see if a masterpiece of this guy.
