Thanks

Convotron wrote:Hmm, I don't think repainting and even some retoolings would make you like RotF Leader Jetfire because its design is centred around the old geezer character concept, which you don't like. That's the thing about the movie fiction...most characters have the names of pre-existing Transformers but aren't very recognizable aside from minor similarities. I mean, look at RotF Sideswipe. It's a robot that changes into a sports car. That's pretty much all that character and its G1 namesake have in common. Now I don't mind that but when I hear "Sideswipe" or "Jetfire", I'm expecting something a bit more recognizable from my exposure to the older toylines and cartoons.


Yeah, that is unfortunate that they use the names, but often make no attempt to have the design resemble the G1 character. But I get used to it in some instances. ROTF Sideswipe is Sideswipe, but only for movie cast purposes... in the larger scheme, ROTF Swerve will be my movieverse Sideswipe.

As for Jetfire, sometimes mistransformations can help things. For example, with the first Movie Seeker repants, I mistransform the legs to be straight, and rearrange the chest/wing kibble to make them resemble their G1 counterparts, if only a little more. But Jetfire could be too far from the G1 design for that, even with a repaint.

Jetfire, Mudflap and Skids are three of my favorite figures from the line, though I do NOT like their characters in the movie. I have a lot of characters that I like the figure of, but not the character, and vice versa.


I certainly do agree about Jetfire's alt mode. The Blackbird is a beautiful jet, and Hasbro did an amazing job. But I can't buy it if I only like one mode. And because G1 homages are so integral to my collection, if it doesn't have that factor, it's got to be really great to warrant a purchase.

I actually do like Mudflap and Skids' designs a lot, except for the heads, and asymmetrical hands. I can't stand the heads. But if they did a repaint & head remold of characters I like, I'd be all over them. I'd really love to see a G1 Skids homage.

I didn't think of mistransformations! Hmm, there could be something to that for Jetfire to at least improve his looks for your tastes.

Same here! I'd like to see them get the Sideswipe/Swerve treatment. A repaint and a retooling of the head sculpt. I plan on only having the HA versions of Skids and Mudflap but I've been thinking about buying one of their Deluxe figures and seeing how Classics Bumblebee's head looks on the figure. If the scale of the replacement head matches the bodies, I'd put them on my list of future custom repaints(once I put my foot down and start learning the craft). I'd love to see how Skids and Mudflap Deluxe figure would look redone as G1 BB and Cliffjumper.

Sure will!

Man, looking through the Jetpower OP gallery is compelling me to take RotF Leader OP and JF out of storage to display again. I did tidy up yesterday so there's a lot of freed up display space...
