But to call a movie garbage, a movie that many, many people thought was okay (even if they didn't love it) and that many, many people worked very hard to create, is to be a world class scumbag. You are saying we like garbage. And that's just an arrogant, horrible, sanctimonious thing to say. You are presuming you know what's best for everyone. You do not. And you never, ever will.

Do yourself (and everyone else) a favour and go read the forum rules.

If people want to call a movie garbage, that's their right. They're not breaking any forum rules.

But when YOU turn around and call people "garbage", "simpleton" and "scumbag" just because you don't agree with them, well, you're the one breaking the rules, and it just won't be tolerated.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron users, Nemesis Primal, EvasionModeBumblebee, What's Crackin'? and Dan, we have learned that YouTuber TonTon Reviews has uploaded a new video review of forthcoming Transformers Studio Series Leader Class figure #35 Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire!

One thing to note is that TonTon does not show off the combined form of Voyager 2007 Movie Optimus Prime and Jetfire and it appears as though that will get a video of its own.

We have embedded the video below for your convenience:

What do you think of Jetfire? Will you be adding him to your collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I was bummed when it dawned on me that TonTon wasn't doing the Jetwing Optimus combination...

I like the new Prime, though the big chunks on the back of his arms and the kibble on the inside of his legs aren't great. It could almost pass for an IDW design. Those elbows are really messing with my brain since they bend on the what looks like the wrong axis. I sure hope he's a good figure because I really like the looks of him.

Honestly, that new Studio Series Prime is a nope in a not good direction.

I have not liked the Cybertronian aesthetic since it was revealed, they should have smoothed it out some and made it a separate thing. The difference is too jarring compared to the movie look I have come to love.

Carn is right, the "G1" influence crept into the movie. While it may be a short bit, it still sucks to see them abandon the previous looks, especially since we have gotten many looks at Transformers without Earth modes. And it's now across the board: toys, comics, TV, and now starting to creep into the movie. Let the unique things stay unique. That would be like Prime or Cybertron suddenly shifting into G1 mode, it doesn't look right.

AS was said elsewhere, you can't miss G1 if it won't stop coming back and now taking over the entire industry.

and the G1 look is not good for many of these guys. It's the wrong type of greeble on the characters, and for some reason, a lot of the Cybertron guys have very large thighs and skinny arms and lower legs, it's not a good look. And this figure sadly seems to capture that look.

I really really really wish they would have made the Cybertron aesthetic something else and new instead of in this live action universe. They nailed Dropkick, Shatter, and Blitzwing, why couldn't you have stuck with that?

on a separate note, Jetfire looks good, I can't wait to see the combination with Prime!

1st, no need for this here, and do not google this people.

I'm fully aware that the two live action Flintstones movies are hot garbage and I still like them.

I thought most people liked Garbage, they made one of the best Bond songs of all time.

Don't worry, I won't be googling it :lol:

my confusion was that it came out of nowhere as you said with 2/ unless I'm missing something or Silly knows something about who took the picture.

Nope, not really feeling that new Voyager Prime. I get what they're going for with the shift to the more familiar, but that does result in backlash from those who were used to the original esthetic. The shift does apparetly work in a sense as the movie is a hit with the critics for once it seems, so yeah...

I keep hearing people asking what #31 is in the line, the only one that hasn't been ID'ed yet. Well, there are two contenders that have had listings and product ID's confirmed: Autobot Dino and Autobot Drift.

Ohhhh boy. It's not a good sign when my literal first reaction was to start laughing. The bot mode is fine I guess but that alt is hilarious.

Earlier today, we put up two news articles on the instruction manual and robot mode image of new Studio Series 38 Voyager Class Optimus Prime, from the Bumblebee film. Following that, we have a leaked image of the back of the box of the said toy, thanks to 本-阿弗莱克- on baidu.

It shows us our first look on his alternate mode which, shock of shocks, is very inspired by the truck in the G1 cartoon. Of course, we also get to see the stock render for his robot mode, and his 35 step conversion. We also find out the figure comes with the "San Francisco Bridge" backdrop.

So does this make you more or less excited for the figure? Tell us in the Pub forums down below!

Oooh, that looks good!

Looks good. ;)^

Also a little surprised they even made this to begin with, but then, maybe not that much really.

News Credits: 1 · by **Octobotimus** » Wed Dec 19, 2018 8:53 pm

To be honest i like it, even if the truck looks quite tall, i like it. and from the looks of it, it should have quite a good amount of paint on it.

This is AutoBOUGHT!!! had the movie line looked like this from the getgo, I'd be more inclined to have collected the Bayverse.

This Optimus and MP-44 should both have their molds melted down.

It's an obnoxious half-assed continuity-clashing move that puts Travis Knight in the same category of fan embodied by Shadow from the Insecticomics (albeit not that extreme).

Also, the professional movie critics are worthless brain-dead morons when it comes to Transformers. I haven't seen the movie myself, but I have no faith in their judgement after stupidity regarding the first movie.
