It's not a bad representation of the IDW design, but deluxe would have been better to go with Starscream I think.

It would seem a little silly releasing 2 figures of the same character in the same line from the same base mold only a year apart. Both the Classics and Generations versions of him are pretty close to the cartoon version of him. Really, the main thing either of them would need is a different thruster pack. Jetfire's head without the battle mask is an almost perfect representation of Skyfire. Jetfire even has that weird window that was on the bottom of Skyfire's jet mode. Sure an MP Skyfire would be nice but it would have to be HUGE.

You mean like this?
Doubtful since the Legends mold is 100% Seeker while the remolded Leader mold is only about 60-70% Seeker. They'd be better making a new mold for a Legends Jetfire.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I did not realize just how close the Legends figure was to Leader Thundercracker, it looks really good. Maybe we'll see the Legends mold retooled into Jetfire?

I think they could get away with it if they use a new head and maybe, maybe, replace the null rays with a booster pack. Jetfire has been a repaint of quite a few Decepticons over the years.

Except the Classics voyager scales nicely with the new Legends class... Is a Legends Jetfire really needed? After 4 uses of the Seeker mold for Seekers, a retool seems unnecessary.

I have a thing for small Transformers. I don't have a problem with the same characters being released across different size classes.

I don't have s problem with that either... But tiny Jetfire is weird,
Then again, if Powerglide could get an ultra class fig...

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

That there has been a tiny Jetfire before.
