- Motto: "Earthrise restock or riot"
A Jetfire that combined with Optimus would NOT be a valued addition to the MPM line because it would be impossible to do one that was up to Masterpiece standards.
Jetfire's "combination" with Optimus isn't just partsforming, it's bits of his body being taken apart and rebuilt differently, in ways where certain parts are arranged at odds with each other. Take the engines - the way they'd need to transform for the Jetpower armor is at odds with the way they need to transform to form Jefire's legs - this is why the ROTF Leader Jefire ends up with a kibble backpack. And then there's the leg extensions - it's impossible to have those look anything like they did in the movie while still transforming into parts of an accurate Jetfire. The paldrons, made from the nose of the Blackbird split down the middle, are also a problem - on Jetfire that's his head and part of his back! Doing an ROTF Jefire that combines with Optimus is impossible without some substantial compromises to both Jefire himself and the look of the Jetpower armor. Partsforming would make it more functional, but it wouldn't really help too much with the accuracy.
I would want to see a Jetfire in both the MPM and Studio Series lines that was purely devoted to being Jetfire, with his legs actually forming the engines and the cockpit on his head actually being integrated with the jet mode, stuff like that. And of course a landing gear cane that actually becomes an axe like in the movie. I would also want to see an MPM version of ROTF Megatron, MPM and Studio Series Leader-class The Fallen, and a reissue of MPM Optimus that includes a 2nd gun.
