My wish for a Micromaster Countdown has been cursed, because instead of a white micromaster rocket launch base, it comes as a micromaster for Mega Supreme. Damn you Hasbro!
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
Wait for the Takara Guardian repaint. Omega can lend him the red Countdown 😉
I like Impactor, he looks pretty badass
It's not often that we see a purple Autobot. There's also something about his alt-mode that reminds me of Straxus (or Darkmount) from the 2010 Generations line.
Much like how Generations Arcee was a 20 year old fan design, I don't think the base tooling of Jetfire is an original or even new tooling on the figure.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge this has disappeared off the net, so I have no way of producing the pics to verify it, but I recall over 20 years ago, seeing photos of customs that came out of what I thought was Botcon Japan, and that Jetfire looks incredibly close to how I remember a fan scratchbuilt Jetfire (which came complete with a custom Transformers Generation 2 box) looking.
Not sure if anyone else here knows the figure I'm talking about.
Not trying to bring a downer on it at all, because the designers nailed it. I'm just wondering if this is a repeat of the whole Generations Arcee situation with some minor modifications - where a fan's work was so good that Hasbro made it official a couple of decades down the track.
I remember the figure you’re talking about and may have saved images if I look in my archive. But it’s ultra obscure. There’s likely only a few ways to make a screen accurate transforming Skyfire so similarities are likely but coincidental.
