I think the jet mode kinda turned me off the figure, because it was a repaint and it made her too bulky as well, even if, as you said, the fiction justification was there. If she had had some kind of larger car mode, and perhaps hadn't been a combiner, she would be in my collection. But I understand why she was done that way.Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, to me, the POTP Voyager is still the best-looking of the the Elita-1 figures released so far. She may not be a car anymore, but at least she looks the part the most in robot mode (and was given in-fiction justification as a body upgrade).Rodimus Prime wrote:And I didn't care much for the PoTP voyager, but at least it had a better looking head.
I'm with you on all of that. She just wasn't Elita-1 enough for me. And that jet mold is not great. Very simplistic, with odd proportions for any bot mode, reminded me of those Gobot reboot toys for younger kids.
Also, the colours and size of the bot mode was off. A tall deluxe would be best, as you said, but a voyager would just not work with any of the WFC Optimus molds.
