Toy Fair 2014: First pic of deluxe Windblade toy (& Jetfire)

I dunno, it's not the best transformation but it's not a deal-breaker for me. I'm finding it more difficult to reconcile the randomly shiny red components.

The shiny red plastic makes me think of a Japanese United release.

I'm reserving judgement until later.

It's Sargent Kabuki Man NYPD!

What has been seen, cannot be unseen. Nooooooooo !!

the whole plane is the backpack!! didn't even think about the transformation because was loving the robot mode but totally agree with you ... might skip this one now

On the up side, i am sure a customiser will come up with a way to use that cockpit as the robot chest.

I agree (and i think the outside of the forearms sans-armour are hollow too so the armour isn't that optional). Surely a Takara version will have better paint.

Jetfire's collarbone region also appears to be a void - are there any good pics of robot Jetfire from above looking down?

It is hard to tell, but Seibertron does have some images that show a bit of it. And they do look quite hollow. Still, to just own a white Jetfire, I'm happy

I normally don't mind faking a few things, but having a fake cockpit on the chest that looks nothing at all like the jet mode cockpit is just weird. Even the colours don't match. I know it's a homage to the toy and the cartoon version, but it still looks wrong. Why can't they just pick a direction to go with Jetfire and stick with it.

I don't mind Wingblade, at least she seems to transform more cleverly than Jetfire.

I've wondered that on a few toys for a while. I guess at the least we can be thankful they're 'trying'

Yeah but they are trying Jetfire again and not making much improvement, I'd rather they try Omega Supreme, Scorponok or Overlord myself.

I would love that, shame they couldn't make something like Planet X Genesis. I was quite happy with Metroplex though, even though his quite different. Still came out alright. I don't own any form of Scorponok at all though, so he would be a fantastic figure to see made in the current day and age. Providing they still kept it somewhat close to the original design.
