Did you guys know about this already? I mean, I read about it, but I hadn't seen pictures yet.

Pretty crummy looking, in my opinion, and the way the "combine" is pretty lame. I was excited when I heard about this set, but now that I've seen it, I'm disappointed. Boooo Hasbro! The robot legs are way too obvious in alt mode, the bot mode has no hands, and the combined forms... a robot with legs for arms and a jet sandwich? :o)

Well, that's the first piece from the animated line that I think is a complete FAIL!! Yeucch!!

It IS in the most glorious colors of all time (orange and blue...GO Gators!), but it looks terrible.

Terrible, Terrible, Terrible.

Well that's disappointing. Gimmick looks good, but boy have the figures suffered for it.

Well.......... That's a Lovely Piece of Crap!

Not only do they not have hands when seperate, but when combined they have legs for arms

Looks like maybe something from Bandai

Sponsor site Big Bad Toy Store has posted images of the Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm two-pack previously seen here.

Both toys are able to combine in jet and robot mode, and include a DVD with unknown content. Preorder them here, view them there, or by scrolling down.

Well, I was excited....before I seen this. WOW. They blow.

Epic FAIL!

I'm sorry, but this doesn't even look like it deserves to be in a Transformers line. I wish they would take some notes from G1 and make some combinations that might actually work.

This a joke, and I only hope it's not a sign of the decline of the line.

Hey, my first credited news story on Seibertron! Go me, go me. :-B

Maybe these figures were designed by a summer intern or something. I'm kidding, but it seriously seems like an amateur effort. I can't believe an experienced TF designer would come up with such a terrible design.

by **primeoptimus** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 2:48 pm

i think these guys are cool looking.
i can get past the fact that they have no hands,my only complaint is the alt.modes(they look like red and blue colored protoforms wih jet nosecones)

wat the **** is this??? so gay!!!

Cancelled my preorder the second I saw these pics.

The set sounded good in theory... In execution, not so much.

Wonder-Twin Powers Activate!

Form of multi-colored turd!

Great design, poor implementation.

Edit edit: And now I want to make a Broke-back Cybertron joke.

*sighs* Well, there's a preorder to cancel. Those are just awful. They didn't even try with these two. Just pointless filler.

So now...Oil Slick, Jetfire, and Jetstorm are total writeoffs.

Can't win 'em all I guess.

Ignoring the noodle arms, in robot mode I like how they look. I’m thinking those might be gun arms? Anyway, I despise how they look in every other mode though, they just look bad. You combine them by putting one jet beneath another? Fail.

These have to be some of the worst designs I’ve seen in a long time.

This is the first set of Transformers animated toys that I do NOT want...

I am disappointed. I was expecting something cooler than this.

I will not be buying these :-x

Wow Slamdance sucked less cyber nut than these two do.

by **Doubledealer93** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 2:59 pm

i want them!!!! but will never combine them the combined form blows.

by **JesWal** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 3:01 pm

And to think I was actually excited about this pack. I mean wow. That is major crap. I have loved the animated line up to this. This just ruins any expectations I had of these two. I am really disapointed...

Well, now we know what was up with that first piece of TFA concept art that surfaced last year.

by **StryderPrime** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 3:04 pm

Wow...this is really upsetting and Shocking.

Wit all the hype behind these 2 figures i thought it was a sure win......

they look like sumthing you will find at a Dollar store. I am so upset with Hasbro or better yet the moron at Hasblow that acturally pay the ppl that design them and told them good job.
The sad thing here that all the modes pretty much sux golf balls and the alt modes dont even look like a jet or any flying machine i know of, more like Colorful Crocdiles do-do

EPIC Piece of $%1& Here

Glad I'm not collecting the Animated Autobots.

My reaction on seeing the robot mode: OMGWTFROTFLMAO... Wait... This isn't a hoax?

one nobody is being forced to buy them two it is something different . I actually think it is cool think of it the two personalities mixed could be interesting in the show something like Blitzwing
