When I originally saw the names Jetfire and Jetstorm were to be in Animated, I was happy. After all, the original Jetfire and classics are awesome figures, and Jetstorm was a great character in Beast Machines (with a sadly atrocious toy). My hopes were high.

Sadly, these fail to meet any of my expectations. My opinions are as follows:

-First off, the fact that they combine is a let-down. There's no need or purpose. The only excuse is that maybe they have polar opposite personalities and even out when combined. Prozac works (and looks) better.
-Secondly, these figures are more gimmick than worthwhile. Automorph and sound chips are fine with me (as long as they work, which so far, all of the figures I've purchased with these features have worked), but to make a combiner just for the sake of making a combiner makes this less than appealing.
-Last of all, the names. There is nothing here that says Jetstorm or Jetfire. I guess until they're in the series, there really won't be a noticable tie to their namesakes.

I've felt left-down by Shockwave, and now these. If it weren't for some of the other really great figures from this line taking up the slack, I might re-think some future purchases.
