Yes! Jetwing prime will be a partsformer combination!
Which reminds me... where's Jolt?
Hm. I forgot all about Jolt. I remember being disappointed with his toy when it came out, but recently I’ve been going back and transforming some of my figures that I first found underwhelming. Turns out Jolt isn’t as bad as I remembered. And he does have some nice sculpting.

I still love my RotF Jolt for what he is, especially since I just got to make up what he was like since he showed no personality in the movie, but I really do want a new retail version of him that isn't so easy to transform and is actually accurate to what he looked like. I really just want all the underused and wasted potential characters in the movies to get SS figures. That's part of why I was so glad Stinger was in Wave 1, now he finally gets to do stuff.
Agreed. There’s so many solid designs that got maybe 7 or 8 seconds of screen time, and then we’re blown up. Designs that took multiple artists and hundreds of hours of labor, from concept, through thumbnails, revision after revision, and then on to final renders. All to be introduced and executed in the same scene.
This thought just crossed my mind, since it seems like there’s potentially a real precedent for it, rather than just a one off; if DotM Megatron does come with an Igor (which I hope he does), that makes two bot mini figs we’ll have gotten so far. First Scorponok with Leader Blackout, and now Igor Leader Megatron. Do you guys think we may get more minibot figs? Even that new VW ‘Bee set comes with a Charlie minifig. I realize the scale would be way off, but I think it would be great if we got a tiny Insecticon with a Constructicon, or a Scalpel with someone. The scale would still be substantially off, but it would be the closest things we’ve ever gotten for those two, since the Insecticon was a Scout, and Scalpel was a Deluxe.
It really does open the door for the smaller characters like Wheelie, Brains, that horrifying Pretender, even Squeeks.
