An auction has appeared for what is claimed to be the upcoming BotCon repaint of Cybertron Starscream as Jetfire!

Check it out here!

Wow! Nice! I wasn't expecting a Skyfire deco. Glad I ordered my set. :grin:

I dont even wanna know how a Botcon exclusive for a Botcon that hasnt happened yet got out, in HK.

But it does look good.

When does JetFire ever look like that? It's more like a Cybertron re-paint of Starscream that is "Jetfire Inspired."

It might as well just be called "White with Red Seeker" repaint.

I'll believe it when I see the official posting from the Botcon website (and I am a member).

That's what 90% of the BotCon figures are. And actually, JetFire did look similar to that in his Cybertronian form.

If it's legit, it looks very bootleggish. The paint, the Decepticon logos...my guess is it's a bootleg.

I would expect the Decepticon insignia to be red just as the Autobot insignia is purple this time. Its a shame there are 4 autobots and only 1 decepticon in the Shattered Glass set. I would hope for more balance in the set up.

Thats pretty cool, a touch of grey (a very light touch)in the face would be nice to break it up alittle though.

I like it. I don't think it's final product yet though. The face seems unfinished.
Hmm, I wonder what Megatron will look like?

Whatever it is, I like it.

I still regret never picking up the GalaxyForce version of Starscream.

I’m really liking this one and since I missed out on the voyager version it might be worth a small sum. I was hoping for a supreme repaint to go along with supreme Starscream though.

Doesn't it seem more likely that this is the "heroic" Starscream that is supposed to come in the boxset, rather some version of Jetfire?

Sweet, I knew it! I hope this isn't fake because that's the first figure I really like in this set.

I'd be suspicious about someone selling an exclusive item before the botcon. I say this cos I've already been burned :sad:

that looks pretty cool.

Not fair i cant go and i really want to figure. :sad:

Well at least i can see it

by **Defcon!** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 8:05 pm

It looks pretty cool if it's the real deal and not bulls**t! I like it. ;)^

That's no bootleg people.

We're getting Decepticon JetFire! WooT!

Rumors of this mold being in the set have been fairly consistant.

Really, really nice...

I can't wait to see leaked Megatron pics now. :grin:

That Jetfire looks good. Makes me wish it was possible for me to attend the BotCon

I have high hopes, but I'll reserve final judgement for after we get some better photos.

It seemed like a good Idea, seeing as how they were friend in G1, and both have jet modes, but it just dosen't look right to me, pass

News Credits: 3 · by **Hyper-Chicken** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:26 pm

It looks a'ight. Not cool enough for me to spend the $ on the whole set though.

He looks good, but I was really hoping they would use the energon Starscream mold. Either way anything is better than the Cybertron Thunderchracker mold...

I like how they went for the Jetfire colors, works pretty well for the heroic Starscream.

by **fairplaythings** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:25 pm

It's not Starscream though. If it is real, and I'm inclined to think it is, it really is a "heroic" Jetfire.

Why? Because SOMEONE had to break the mold of "good is evil and evil is good simplicity."

Why else? Because the box set comes with a mini-con called Razorclaw. And the general consensus is that it means we're getting a repainted ARMADA Starscream with a repainted Swindle.

It's Jetfire and it's an add-on. Let the hue and cry begin.
