Time for some Jetfire, because the guys over in the TR thread got me in the mood. I have the Legends version, one of my first Japanese figures, which I received for my birthday a few years back along with MP Ultra Magnus. I haven't played with him in awhile, so...micro-review!
LOVE this jet mode. Love it love it love it. I remember going onto TFWiki and seeing the first pics of the Hasbro version from Toy Fair, and this mode alone sold me on it. My only real complaint is that I wish the wings were ratcheted, so it would be easier to get the wings into that position. (I also forgot he had so many thrusters.
)
Next up, bot mode, in pacifist configuration. Again, love it, but not quite as much as the other configuration. Also, the legs are kinda weird to work with, and the ankles on mine are super tight. But it's not too bad.
Head sculpt is gorgeous, though. Also...
LIGHT PIPING... *Ahem*
Anyway, next up:
Combat mode! For whatever reason, I prefer this over the other configuration. Slight problem with the gun, I wished it could peg in the middle of the backpack boosters to store in either mode. It would've just looked nice.
Battle mask is amazing. Probably wouldn't have bought this without it. It just looks so badass, and I like the slight anime style to it, and to the rest of the toy too. I'll admit, I am kinda biased towards the whole 'visor eyes, mouthplate, antennae' head design that the mask pulls off perfectly, but still.
Also, more light-piping.
I kinda wish they could've had it so somehow the whole visor lit up...but I like this too for some reason.
Lastly, my preferred configuration. I dunno, I just think this looks the coolest.
Overall, I love this toy, and it was a nice bit of nostalgia to pick it up again. He might be hanging out on my desk for awhile...
For all intensive purposes, I am not longer active on Seibertron. If you want to find me, I'm most easily reached on Twitter, @sigma_magnus
SNOW DAY!!!!
