Those were not stickers in Jetfire. those are painted on tamographs, and also it will be fun since you can flip it with the chest which side you want him to do, but originally he's a in the first place.

Where was this confirmed?

You can very clearly see a gap where the panel flips around between the 2 faction symbols. That and hasbro already said this line has no stickers last toy fair.

They never said that. They said they heard the complaints towards stickers. That doesnt mean we have seen an end to them.

My point about the very noticeable gap still stands.

You talking about the grooves and greeble this entire line is known for having?

Guys... I think that symbol is molded in. As for detecting "gaps", around the symbol one line seems to be deeper than it should be, but the lighting really is making things hard to see.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

You're not crazy... I think I've noticed it on the most recent pictures... it's very flush though.

I'm still amazed his backpack/jet camper shell.... is still a mystery to us all. It can't just be a big hollow lump of plastic... can it?

Also curious about all the panel lines on the back of his legs... that's a *lot* of eluded to missile hatches....

[ilikerobits]

My main question would have to be will we ever see an MP Jetfire or is this supposed to be the closes we'll ever see of such a figure? I'm just scared because it seems as though at the prices that Takara seems determined to set, a real MP Jetfire would be like a thousand dollars or something insane like that....

I'd be ecstatic if they made a Jetfire that is around the same dimensions as MP Ultra Magnus and had a similar price point, but I guess that's wishful thinking.

We have toy fair coming up end of this week, that should settle this debate about Jetfire

Dunno about Takara's future Masterpiece plans. At the moment they seem focused on remaking older figures, and completing the rest of the cars. But they could surprise!

Hasbro stated that Siege Skyfire stands at 11 inches in robot-mode (I assume they measured with the backpack,) that's about MP Ultra Magnus' height.

Jetfire will be amazing but does this mean he will be almost 200$CAN at retail? Holy crap...

[Deadput]

You saying he's more expensive then the size class he's smaller than?

If I remember correctly I heard somewhere that it will be more like 100 cad

Of course he'll be more expensive than a leader. But not priced like a freaking TITAN.

I left my sentence uncompleted before posting, ugh me, sorry about that.

I meant to say something about Jetfire being more expensive than a Titan.

For what it's worth he's like 30-50 dollars less then a Titan I think from where I am in Canada, can't remember if Titans here are 130 or 150 Cad.

[Dannshinigami]

Its clearly a spinning chest faction plate on Jetfire the grooves are there. Its epic. Plus im liking that the commander and titan classes come with their own effect parts cause im not taken on the battle masters.

Much cheaper than that.

That's the button that triggers the gimmick change insignias for and perspectively, but i remember you need to open the cockpit before pressing it, pressing that one will trigger to flip the into or vice versa

Where are you puling any of this crap from? how do you 'remember' anything about a gimmick that's not been shown off or even confirmed to exist? If you actually know something, it should maybe be news'ed, otherwise it's just speculation at best

[ZeroWolf]

What do you mean "I remember"? That gimmick hasn't been shown off, as if it had we wouldn't be talking about its existence as a question.

[Emerje]

Hasbro stated that Siege Skyfire stands at 11 inches in robot-mode (I assume they measured with the backpack,) that's about MP Ultra Magnus' height.

While Takara Tomy has him listed at 300mm or 11.81 inches so I'm thinking Hasbro measured to the top of his head and TT went to the top of the backpack.

We don't even have proof that the cockpit can open, let alone any type of symbol gimmick. Though I do agree with JelZe that the symbols, both the Autobot and Decepticon ones we've seen do look raised and there's definitely a deeper outline around the symbol than the rest of the panel lines.

Is anyone else slightly hesitant to get Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp in this line because, unlike pretty much every other character in the line that normally has an Earth mode, their "Cybertronian" vehicle mode can't so easily pass as an Earth mode? As good as Starscream looks, I'm kinda hoping that in the lines after this the mold gets retooled/this mold's engineering/robotmode sculpt gets reused in a new mold to have an Earth jet mode, and we not only get Thundercracker and Skywarp again, but we also get Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust, and other seekers, because as much as I would like to have Tetrajet seekers, I'm not entirely sure if I can justify having both Tetrajet seekers and Earth jet seekers in my collection if they do end up doing Earth jet seekers later on (more for space/budgetary reasons than for "logic" reasons or anything like that).

Just look at this for instance.
He's the tallest Autobot 2nd to Broadside on the Cartoon.



I do not remember much of this episode but im sure its from The Headmasters. :

Broadside looks pretty small here compared Snarl since everyone is standing on top of each other's feet. I don't really get the sense that's he's incredibly tall in bot mode, he looks like he'd be about Grimlock's height or so.



Also IDW tended to be inconsistent at times with bot sizes. Here's Broadside just a little bigger than Grotusque who's just a little bigger than Hot Spot.

Hasbro can't even transform their renders right!

That sentence makes perfect sense

It's not mistransformed, it's stylistically designed to be that way, and you can't undo that
