Question: Does Jet-Prime have the ROTF Buster Prime feature of his tanks turning into guns? Or does he have the normal ROTF swords? Or something else entirely?

I really dig this toy as I have two retail versions and love the year of the dragon paint scheme.

Okay, that is crazy. Is Amazon just trolling us now? I can't imagine there's enough market in North America for them to make much off these. Unless it's just leftover stock from Asia...

I am starting to think that this isn't the last of the Amazon exclusives we will be seeing. I figure there is at least one or two more. I figure we will know more when SDCC 2012 starts and news starts coming out.

As for this being an Asia overstock situation, that may very well be the case. If that is the case we may just see something else here soon, like maybe the Jetfire and Buster Optimus 2 pack.

Like I said, we should know more for sure when SDCC news starts.

He is without question BAD ASS. I got mine right when they were up for preorder last year from BBTS.

If they release one for Amazon, I might just get it again so I have one to keep in Alt mode. His Bot, and Alt modes are equally awesome.

It looks like the listing on Amazon has been pulled completely so either they're all out of them, or they let the cat out of the bag earlier than they were supposed to and they're now awaiting the green light from Hasbro to re-list it.

I'm really hoping for the latter as I wasn't able to get a preorder in.

Awesome. They even slapped a G2 Decepticon symbol on him. This might be the first retail product to have a G2 logo since RID, for Decepticons since G2. BotCon and convention figures excluded.

Amazon has updated their listings for their upcoming exclusives Transformers Optimus Prime Jetwing Movie Deco and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron G2 Bruticus. Not only is Jetwing Optimus Prime finally getting a domestic release, but he will have it's own unique deco. The Jetwing components feature G1 Trailer deco and the guns are color matched to his body. He's currently available for pre-order at a price of $104.99.

Though he's not currently available for pre-order we do have an image of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron G2 deco Bruticus. Note the G2 faction symbols!

That's some good Bruticus right there. :APPLAUSE:

And Prime's deco is kind of amazing.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jul 10, 2012 2:51 pm

Wow, I certainly didn't expect Prime to have more paint apps than the Takara version. That's a nice surprise.

Bruticus doesn't look bad either. I think I'll go with this version over the SDCC version.

Tue Jul 10, 2012 2:55 pm

In regards to Prime, this is one of those instances in which I would prefer a domestic version over Takara's. *PRE-ORDERED*...

Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:36 pm

A G-1 re-deco of Jetwing Prime? I say yes!!!! And the G2 Bruticus doesn't look bad either. But I need some reprolabels to cover that G-2 Decepticon mark.

Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:39 pm

That Jetwing Prime deco looks awful, I'm glad I picked up a Takara version.
Bruticus looks awesome!

Knowing me, I'd just cover the G2 Decepticon symbols with shinier G2 Decepticon symbols. :michaelbay:

Ok Prime's jet pack confuses me. I understand the stripes on the wings (his trailer) but are the colors on his gatling guns significant to G1 or something or is it just random paint apps they decided to use. Either way it's weird in my opinion.
