I got the Jetfire repaint, Tread bolt over the weekend. He's a beautifully designed figure but it seems the jetfire mold is suffering from some wear. Heres some things I noticed.
-The hole which is meant to hold the engine panel of the aircraft to Tread bolt's back in robot mode isn't big enough for the peg.
-The clips which hold the booster pack are molded poorly so the pack sags to the front a couple of mm.
-The fist holes for the half guns are really tight making it difficult to put guns in. the combined gun peg is fine.
-The pegs which hold the engine panel of the aircraft in alt mode seem loosish
-The piece behind the cockpit doesn't fit into place near the air brake naturally. You need to purposefully fit it.
On the plus side
-I dont have to line up the springs for the missile launchers in order to put them in like I have to do with Jetfire (tho i did get him second hand)
-Beautiful paint apps
-The brown doesn't look as horrible as the 'enhanced' Hasbro pics make it out to be
-The bruticus helmet is super cool 
-Tread bolt's booster back is rather bland compared to jetfire but I display him in his blue angels glory anyway.
Overall great looking figure with good detailing (by universe standards) but seems to be suffering from some issues due to what I think is mold wear.
