I like his legs a lot.
His face reminds me of Beast machines Optimus Primal.

His "toes" need to be flipped up 90%.

I don't think this guy is in the film because he looks too "transformery".

If he is in the movie, and that little Prime is to scale, we might have a contender to go against Devastator... Or there is a seen where Prime drives out the back of a cargo jet and hasbro said, "Great! Mold it, that's an easy $500k."

I believe the little Prime is packaged with the Plane, fits too well.

The legs work because they support the character better...hes too top-heavy the way the torso works out. Though I do like seeing robots with more humanoid legs though.

Seriously, the arms are what vexes me. Can't we work out a better paint palette, maybe more military drab?

Is it just me or the new Transformer Movie toys look more and more butt ugly? :-?

In the first one we had a few ones so ... different we didn't even recognized the characters... lets say... Ironhide. But those were somewhat cool in there Michael Bay kind of way. But these guys??? With the exception of Sideswipe and maybe Sideways (still need to see better pictures before making a final opinion about this one) the rest are just so damn! ugly
I don't know how anyone will spend money on this transformers. But I know many will. I know

So this is how OP combines with a jet in the movie. It may not be Jetfire, but let me tell you how it goes. This jet is being picked on by Starscream for being an inferior wussy Autobot version of him that's overweight. The new jet's feelings are hurt so he calls OP. When OP arrives the new jet shoves OP up his drop bay for an added boost. I always knew Michael Bay was a Decepticon Pretender. :twisted:

I don't think that bot mode looks sufficiently movieverse-ish to actually be a part of the film.

AAARRRGGGHHH!

If Hasbro cannot even be arsed to put some EFFORT into their products them they deserve to not to sell any. That thing is UGLY.

Honestly, its like one of those cheap knock offs that you see in the newsagents for £1.99.

I hope that figure is not in the movie, it looks like a cheapass knockoff that you can get for 5 bucks from any hardware store's toy aisle.

i dont think thats jetfire. he's too big to combine with OP.
also, they could have just put legends OP there instead of the crappy one.

Both of these look completely ludicrous....

The Prime looks like a "mini-figure" that is included--kind of like how Blackout came with a little Scorponok to carry around.

If this is Jetfire, Hasbro seriously screwed up the colors and the mould itself.

I'm thnking the plane carries Optimus in the movie, but the plane itself is not a transformer. Hasbro just made it that way like they did to longarm and incinerator in the first movie.

On the other hand, if this bot is in the movie, he's gonna be huge, but Optimus appears to be the same size as that little shuttle on top of the bot, so I don't think optimus comes with him. Unless this is yet another case of terrible disproportionalism.

Also...have we seen the CGI of this? Look at 2:55 of this video:

in that video thats not transformer movie the movie is called the returner a japanese movie where alien vehicals take forms of earth planes & jets complelty differnt from what where loking at here but simaler.

I want to like this... I really do.. but too many things about it dont sit right with me. The head, arms and legs I think really kill the robot mode. I like the concept and the vehicle mode.. but theres just way too much about it that I dont like. The colour scheme seems really uninspired to.

I have to say this is probably the first ROTF I've taken an instant dislike to.

i like him, its like he has a gundum backpack.
he may be sky linx or a reformatted jet fire

looks alright but I'll pass I like the little prime too.

News Credits: 3 · by **Giant Purple Griffin** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 12:42 pm

This is definitely not Jetfire. It looks nothing like the Legends, FAB, "gun piece" or any of the other pictures and rumors that already been posted.

by **Downbeat** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 12:51 pm

Movieverse Last Autobot? Similar scale with Optimus Prime, similar colors and head, and both turn into a jet. I wasn't the first to note this, but I agree with the theory. Considering Fallen's in the film, it's possible.

Who fights devastator? OMEGA SPREEM? Or Crossguard C.S.G.D

If this is a Voyager, that Op looks to be mini-con size, possibly smaller, which explains why they didn't do something about the torso: anything they could do would likely be too breakable.

And he's still the same sizeas the space-shuttle gun, which I forsee people bitching about. This is not a toyline where scale is a major concern, people, and the sooner you get used to that, the happier you'll be.

For some reson, the head reminds me of Rail Racer. For that matter, the chest looks a little bit Rail Racer-y, too. (The train combiner from RiD, in case you need to look it up.

)

The legs? Eh, a little reminiscent of Beas Machines Cheetor, but given that this is a movie-style design, that's par for the course. Not a deal-breaker for me. In general, a nice toy, and it somehow softens the blow of RotF steamrolling the hell out of my beloved Animated toyline and ending the not-as-cool-as-Animated-but-still-pretty-nice Universe line.

(Still, I wish they'd given the shuttle its own robot mode instead of a spring-loaded projectile. I know, I know, budget, but the space shuttle is one of my favorite alt modes.)
