Thanks to HK-TF and ACToys user we get some new looks at the Cybertron Con 2013 Exclusive Henkei Jetfire. This version features more white, metallic paint, and both Decepticon and Autobot faction symbols.

Meh. Neat idea, not sure a minor variant on this guy is something I wanna do.

I like him, and I would like to own him for the sake of owning a Classics Jetfire in his colors (I only own Universe Tread Bolt), but it's the Decepticon logos on the wings that kill me. I understand that they're trying to recreate his brief time as an unwilling Decepticon, but I just don't like it, especially when there's an Autobot logo smack on the canopy.

This is one of those figures that just came out about 2 years too late. I ended up buying the Jetfire and Grimlock 2 pack because I couldn't find a reasonably priced Henkei Skyfire. But now with the 2 3rd party Skyfires coming out, this seems pointless especially with the faction symbols different in each mode.

A Henkei! Henkei! figure with English text and a new name (the original toy was named "Skyfire").

A "Japan Edition" as it were, instead of a "USA Edition"

The shiny paint is a bit catchy but I'm content with my Henkei. :VEHI:

I... would really like to see comparison shots with Henkei/Classics Jetfire.

The comparison with Dark Skyfire just seems moot.

Also, anyone else think the metallic red paint on the boosters looks a bit gaudy?

From what I can see besides the Decepticon logos on the wing, the boosters have metallic paint here as the original Henkei version has metallic paint on the thruster/exhaust on the boosters.

Fixed.
