RotF Jetfire Review

[jaydisc]

I just fold the legs over the straps then clip them together. You'll find they'll stay very close to the body of the jet without having to actually attach to anything.

That's perfect! Thanks.

Got Jetfire today. That strap was bloody annoying until I eventually figured out what Fungal did.

The toy is quite the shell-former (panelformer?), but I was expecting that. The toy's not as bad as I thought it would be - I like how the main body isn't one huge massive block like on Megatron - its ability to split impressed me.

I'm having trouble combining Jetfire with Optimus Prime though. The two pegs on Prime's back which are meant to fit into the two holes on Jetfire's chest - they don't seem to line up properly on mine. The weapon and landing gear/cane are so gonna get lost by kids.

Compared to other RotF Leaders, I'd rate Jetfire as being better than Megatron but not as good as Optimus Prime. Overall it's an okay toy, but not spectacular and I don't think it's worth the full $99.99 RRP that I paid for it (unfortunately I couldn't find it on sale anywhere, and the only store that I found it in wouldn't price match). :/

Stomper, in your pic, as well as in the instructions, it says to clip them together:
But it just doesn't seem to have any place to affix to. Am I missing something?

I just did Fungal's method with the strap issue. They are really annoying and required a lot of stretching to get it to that position in alt mode. Especially in bot mode. Nothing to peg the "buckle" part of it neither.

Neither did it on mine. The crotch panel and peg didn't fit properly neither so I just left it off. Ironically the annoying rubber strap/belt is the most useful thing here on holding the two together.
