Pfft, forget the jet and make it a triple-changer of A and B.megatronus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:So, it's a Hasbro Asia thing, eh?A!megatronus wrote:"What vehicle does Jetfire transform into?"

You win a gold star
(How awesome would a triple-changing robot-to-jet-to-bus Jetfire be??)

Probably some law in that jurisdiction that makes asking a question to prove it's a contest with some "skill" involved and not completely random "gambling", but no law on how hard the question has to be.
Dumb, but not as dumb as Quebec's contest/giveaway laws apparently. Sheesh.

Do think the chrome is less annoying in person than in pics, but Hasbro did a kinda sloppy job with it that you notice if you get too close.

The guy who said he felt like a KO must be smoking some great stuff because Jetfire feel like a solid and high quality toy. Sure, he don't have the mass nor the level of engeneering of say, HOTD Leader Starscream. However, he feel solid, is perfect looking in both modes and is great fun to transform.
The chrome is not too bad in person and the hollows are a non-issue for me. Unless you love to stare at your TFs inner tighs (you sick perv, you.) or you remove his "null rays", the hollow bits remain hidden and don't take anything away from the overall look.
Was it worth the 60$+taxes I paid for? In my humble opinion, defenitely. I dunno if Jetfire is the first CHUG leader ever, but he's a win and defenitely worth owning.

Yeah, all the way. I mean what the hell? This is a mass retail 50-60$ figure. Not a limited 100-200$ MP or a 200-500$ Maccross Veritech, for crying out loud!

I know it's mistransformed but it looks better like this. Trust me

Swivels so in 'bot mode it becomes a booster pack I guess.

OHHH! Hah. No, I meant the black booster exhausts themselves. They swivel up and down for whatever reason. I knew why the jetpack moved, but it's thrusters move too, for whatever reason.fenrir72 wrote:Autobot032 wrote:His fastpack thrusters swivel. Why? I don't know, but they do.

I personally prefer it left in vehicle mode. When it's swiveled up, it reminds me of IDW Stormbringer Jetfire, which is fine and all for some, but not me. This is G1 Skyfire and the robot mode pulls it off quite well. Those giant thrusters look doofy sticking straight up out of his back. So dumb.
