TF08.net have new images of Leader Class Jetfire from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

These new pictures show off some good detail, size and articulation to the figure. Not to mention our first look at the combined form of Optimus Prime and Jetfire!

Ugh, the combined mode is bad (it will make me feel better to not buy Prime), but the blackbird mode sells it.

Seeing Jetfire properly posed he doesn't look as bad as I thought he would. Not too sure about the combined mode but I will be getting both and displaying them separately.

Ok, I'm really motivated to buy a Transformers with a cane. yeah, real menacing there standing with your cane and mini gun. And the combined mode is a backpack? C'mon.

I'm still wondering what the rasoning is having wheels attached to the bottom of a cane are. The second one puts any weight on them, they slide right out and boom; straight to the hospital

I was already sold on Prime,and this just might have sold me Jetfire. Dependin hs role and action in the movie, his articulation, and everything else, I might get him.

As usual, I'll wait for a video review.

I'm not particularly impressed with the combined mode, and Jetfire's alt mode is equally unimpressive. Pass on Jetfire, maybe Prime if the movie is decent.

Not so much combined as mashed together but I do like the look of Jetfire. I will probably end up getting Prime too even though I have the leader from the first film.

No way. If it was Armada then Jetfire would clearly be the pants.

I'm actually liking the fact that Jetfire is a backpack instead of actually "Powerlinking". I knew Leader Optimus Prime was just too poseable to form some sort of Gestalt with Jetfire, seeing as he doesn't have a hidden head.

First thing I'm going to do with mine is get rid of that stupid cane. As for the combined mode, MEH. I'm sure it will look better on screen and on the key chain.

by **OptimusShr** » Sat May 16, 2009 1:50 pm

I don;t think you can get rid of the cane. Judging by the wheels it could be his landing gear in vehicle mode.

Anyway I love the look of the figure and will pick him up. The combined form doesn't look that great but I hope the nose pieces can be folded downward and out of the way.

I really like the Leader class stuff this time around.

I'm all over these.

I dunno about that man. I mean, have you ever seen an old curmudgeon defending his lawn from pesky kids? Scary stuff.

So jetfire turns into a backpack so Prime can have some thing to carry his spare parts in? Yeah im passing on jetfire. The figure sucks and this combination (if you can even call it that) is worthless. Prime looks good at least. Thats $50 saved.

I'm really not sure what all the fuss is about or why everyone seems to have been expecting the two to combine into some completely new form like Devestator...

It seems fairly apparent that Jetfire becomes Prime's jetPACK to allow him to fly...What more in that does there need to be?

Perhaps people simply expect the combined mode to not look as awful/lazy/etc.

dont care much for, nor surprised by the combined form. Still want jetfire reguardless. hes got to be the single most off the wall transformer ever.

Nothing will beat the Galaxy Force combo of Sonic Convoy. This train wreck looks horrid next to Sonic.

News Credits: 12 · by **robofreak** » Sat May 16, 2009 3:34 pm

Personally, I was hoping for a combination more along the lines of Armada, but after seeing this combination it makes perfect sense.

Think for a moment. Jetfire is a Decepticaon gon Autobot who's been sleeping for who know how many years. Prime may be old, but his body is up to date. It's safe to assume that They needed to figure out how to get Prime airborne quickly so the fact that Jetfire was able to modify himself into a jetpack seems perfectly logical. It's nothing too fancy, but it will get the job done.

So far, I'm very impressed with everything I've seen for the movie. I'm glad I didn't buy very many Animated figures.
