Toy Images of Takara Buster Prime & Jetfire 2 Pack

While Jetfire's new color scheme may look nice, can we really call it more movie-accurate than his normal figure? I mean, was Jetfire really that brown in the film? (he looked more like a "rusty-black" to me, rather than this "dead leaf brown")

looks nice. but I could never justify importing these guys

I do hope hasbro conciders picking up atleast buster prime as I don't have an rotf prime and won't get one unless I find one o these good lookin leaders.

Looks awesome! Will gladly buy those if they come to the US.

Wow, Jetfire looks great in the photos. I passed on Buster OP...I don't know if I can pass on this set.

Both? That is exactly what I am asking myself. I got Buster Prime for Christmas from the wifey. I really like the head without the mask, as a majority of time Prime was without it in the movies. The paint job is AWESOME! But he wore his facemask sometimes and looked really bad ass...what is wrong with having two?

Too bad Takara does not sell Buster Prime with a removable facemask. Is it so complicated???
And why this Jetfire repaint is not available separately? I already have Buster and I 've planned to get Jetfire soon. I would get this version but I can't buy another Buster Prime. I think there are a lot of fan like me who get Buster some weeks ago, now we should have the opportunity to get Jetfire alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same happened with the Shangai attack Demolishor sold in bundle with the twins. I already have the ice-cream twins, how can I get the white demolishor with muddy tracks and loader without getting the twins again???

I know Hasbro said "no premium figures" but this is something that they'd be stupid to pass up. Release this 2-pack in North America and for an added bonus that would make our TF bros and sis' in the East drool (much like they did for our version of MP Starscream), make Prime's head interchangeable (give BOTH in the pack). Ooh! Ooh! Even BETTER, make 3! No face plate, face plate, powered up sphinx like head (where he had that little curly goatee lookin' thing). AND fix Jetfire's voice. We want Mark Ryan "Behold the GLORY of Jetfire!", not Shrek! I mean how come only Japan gets the cool special figs? Doesn't Hasbro know how much us North American fans SPEND on getting our bot lovin' hands on those import figs????

If a 3rd party takes my idea for the sphinx head I want royalties! Seriously. I will be pissed if someone does and I don't get anything.

Well after seeing Human Alliance Barricade, we now know Hasbro/Takara had a crap-load of this turd brown paint and they need to get rid of it somehow. It actually looks decent on Jetfire because it resembles rust. However, he wasnt that rusty. Finally they got enough complaints about the mouth and gave Prime a face plate. Proof that they do listen to fans that speak up on forums. I do see Hasbro coming out with this set to cash in at the price of maybe $70.00 so I would never buy it online.

You forgot a very important one. In addition to:

1) No faceplate
2) Faceplate
3) Goatee faceplate

we also need:

4) 1/2 of a faceplate

The right side of the faceplate is broken off as a result of being kicked in the face by Megatron. This version of buster prime would have all sorts of battle damage painted over those beautiful pin stripes!

I call royalties on that one!!!

I'm so torn on this. If I could get it for maybe $120 shipped, I'd pick it up. But RK and BBTS end up nearly the same after shipping, and I just don't know if I want it at that price. Here's hoping for a BBTS sale.
