I can't get over how awesome Prime looks. Can't wait for the Game or the Movie.

When i head there will be a prime and jetfire combo, i was doubtful, but it is absolutely amazing seeing these images, and i am sure will be one of the film highlights!

Man, if it's even half as badass in the movie as the concept art, then it would still be more than adequately badass.

=P~

Any news of a Robot Replica figure of this?

I never really thought about it before, but Prime wearing Jetfire's corpse is pretty morbid. That is something Hannibal Lecter would do.

True but think of the psychological impact of that. Just seeing Prime like that is enough to make any 'Con lube himself but when it FULLY registers that he's encased in a sparkless Jetfire (is that really the case? bummer), that's something even the 'Cons aren't prone to doing. Well, Megatron would in a heartbeat, but the others don't strike me as being that twisted so Prime doing this would just scare the bejeezus out of them. It's worse than the guys in 'Nam stringing earlobes together into a necklace as far as the psyche effect goes.

Actually, it would be something Buffalo Bill would do. He was the one who sewed together dead people's skin and wore it as a bodysuit.

Ed Gein was a sick-o like that too.

Anyway, if that is how the combo is going to look in the movie, then holy crap! Hope it looks half that awesome.

Didn't he wear people's faces?

Well, if the movie styicks to the novel version, it will only be Jetfire's wings and thrusters Ratchet will attach to Prime. Nothing else.

have i understood you right, Prime doesn't combine with Jetfire as such, but he wears his dead body!

Yeah, Jetfire gets killed by a certain Decepticon, and Ratchet uses him for parts, because Prime gets severely damaged as well.

by **skids 2.0** » Fri May 29, 2009 12:21 pm

Ok, interesting choice of parts. I suppose its not rotting flesh when they die, and we scrap and reuse metals so... RECYCLING

As long as at the end Prime goes back to Normal prime. Do you think prime can still transform when hes connected to Jetfire?

MAJOR SPOILER...Description of Jetfire to Prime transition:

Jetfire becomes mortally wounded (by Skorponok). Shortly after Sam revives Prime from stasis lock with the Matrix of leadership (that black "S" shaped dagger thing you see Sam pickup in the trailers), Jetfire hobbles over to him and offers his parts to Prime. Jetfire snuffs out his sputtering spark and Ratchet begins to attach Jetfire's parts to him so he can finish the job against the Fallen's efforts.

Okay...I'm sure someone hates me at this point...gotta go :roll:

That's a good idea, unless someone says this beforehand:

If the first line indicates spoilers, and you don't want spoilers, then you should probably not read the post.

And as for Jet Prime Holy Crap in a stick that is an awesome robot.

It wasn't specified. In the book, the main purpose of this was so Prime could fly.

the Slayer song "Dead Skin Mask" is based on him, so yes I think so.

I still think Jetfire's parts become Prime's trailer.

I think it will be pretty fantastic on the big screen, so I gotta say I am excited, even if it is a bit ghoulish.

have you seen any of the trailers at the cinema? I can assure you, it looks 200 times better that watching it on a computer monitor. So Yer, Prime with Jetfires dead body will look great!!!

For some reason i feel like that should be called Gundam Prime. At least Jetfires not just a backpack like the toy version. So when is Megatron getting Tidal Wave?

Lame.

So what then is going to happen to Jetfire's parts? Is Prime just going to slough them off since he has defeated the Fallen? Will there never be another use for them? I don't think Prime is that short sighted (Michael Bay might be :grin:

). What is all of that kibble going to turn into?

Definitely. Though I think it's the writers' problem, as this happens at the end of the movie it's fine for Bay but if the writers want to write a 3rd film, they'll have to explain if they're keeping Jetfire's parts or not.
