Darn, I was really hoping for Autobot Jetfire, it would be nice to see some Armada Homage

I actually like these pretty well, so far TF2 is looking great!

Haha, be pretty hilarious if it is considering the G1 version was a ripoff of the Macross Jet Robot mold.

So im guessing there doing the hole Skyfire is tricked into being a con then joins the bots later on like in G1. Or bay screws thing up again and just slapped a name on a mech again. Springer should've been Obsidian.

I'm really digging the G1 homage legends right now, but these just don't work for me.

Pass.

It seems likely that they'll do the voyager Incinerator repaint. I'm also guessing it's a non movie character, so I wouldn't really mind. Springer's really been getting the Ultra Magnus/Cliffjumper treatment lately. They really need to give him his own mold for Classics 3.0.

I reckon this legend mold is bound to get an Incinerator repaint at some point. It's one of the nicer molds here. Prime is also pretty good, though the paint job looks cheap. Bumblebee isn't bad, but has a boring transformation. Jetfire is an iffy mold, but at least the colours make him look a lot better.

Here's a thought: Maybe they still do. They have a good excuse for a new Bumblebee legend(the old one was the 70s Camaro). What's the reason for redoing Legends Optimus(other than it kinda sucked)?

And check it out - Optimus has a slot(back of his cab).

Jetfire has a plug.

I'll leave the innuendo to all you geniuses out there.

Okay, sure, TFs often have random slots for no reason, and especially when there's a ball joint on the other side. But Jetfire's peg... I'm not sure what other purpose it can serve, besides uglying up the alt mode.

First I've seen of this. Good catch!

Edit: You can see the tab on JetFire's back in Robot mode, I'm thinking JetFire is pants.

Double Edit: I'm now thinking that they will combine just like Armada Prime and Jetfire...Supermode Optimus Prime! In fact...what if the combined mode was The Fallen?

a poster on TFW thought that the shortcomings of the Jetfire mold might be explained as compromises to make a combining gimmick work... So I took another look at the early proto pics.

I dunno if the combining thing is for real, but it looks like it could work. Might be a bit iffy, but it'd certainly go a long way in my eyes to redeeming the mold. Combining legends = awesome.
