I am in actual awe at the size of this lad. He's huge, has semi posable fingers, awesomely detailed and painted. As long as he's not hollow then there's no doubt in my mind he's worth $80. Amazing start for the commander class.

i would like to know if jet fire has the ability to hold a couple micromasters inside like how he transported other autobots in the show :-?

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that this Jetfire beats out the third party options in both modes? Probably not just aesthetically, but the articulation might also be on par if he has a waist swivel and ankle tilt. Heck, his hands open and I didn't even need it. The armor just seals the deal. This is like when Hasbro made a Sixshot in TR that was superior to the third party options. For this Jetfire, 80$ is a steal

well, skyfire looks better than he did in the 3D renders. Lack of antennas on the helmet bothers me less on the actual toy than it does on the render. still didn't stop me from wanting it upon first seeing the renders though.
Also speaking of the backpack there do appear to be what seems to be a pair doors seen behind the head and what looks like another hinge above that (could just be me looking at the greebling funny for all I know).

So far I love everything about this figure though I'm hoping that there isn't an issue with the tabbing on the nose cone.

Jetfire is an absolute beast and Soundwave has some nice light piping.

If there was any one true way to indicate how poopy that one third party perceptor is, this is it.

Holy crap, Jetfire looks nice. I was on the fence before, but this just sealed the deal. Not a fan of the big size of him, but if he can carry micromasters in him, I'll gladly have that. And thank god they toned down the battle damage on Soundwave's chest door

Slammer could totally exist as a reshell of Brunt if Hasbro ever felt like doing him. Alternatively there is Impactor if they don't want to make him a regular figure and not a weaponizer for some reason.

Pretty cool! So does that size correspond roughly to supreme class?

That Jetfire looks really good but chances of a UK appearance are slim to none

online it'll have to be then, as he looks fantastic.

Looks impressive. Now this explains why Hasbro announced the figures before toyfair... didn’t want the wonderfest reveals to steal their thunder which might’ve happened in the past.

I've still got a feeling those black guns on the wing tips can double as the helmet antennae. They're probably not showing that off to further distances themselves from the whole mess over Hasbro's problematic use of a Macross toy in G1.

Well, nothing can compare to the toyfair when hasbro revealed their devestator the same weekend TT revealed their vastly superior one :lol:

Brunt then:

Brunt NOW:

He got beefcake'd by 20 years of hiatus :shock:

I thought of parting ways with my LG Jetfire but I think I'll keep him as sort of a counterpart to this amazing Skyfire. I always kept Jetfire with his visor off but NOW the visor will remain...yeah this will work, 'nuff said! ;)^

That's a sticker like the one across his chest. I guess the Autobot insignia is just to show that it's a Transformer same like with the live action movies. And I guess it's just for the team who installs the display.

That Jetfire is way too tall.... Why Hasbro didn't release a Commander class Deathsaurus, Thunderwing or even Star Saber who was that height is anyone's guess. But I would've bought them in a heartbeat.

Anyway, Starscream, Soundwave and Brunt are all day one purchases. Can't wait for'em.

Jetfire is the right height according to charts

He was in the G1 cartoon which is the aesthetic their going with here.

We already have shorter Jetfires like the classics and Thrilling 30 figures but we dont really have tall Jetfire figures.

There is your why

In a line that has been lambasted for figures being too small, now there’s one that’s too big? :BANG_HEAD:

Jetfire/Skyfire is supposed to be this big. Bigger depending what episode of G1 you are looking at.

Hound and Spike exit from his crotch in one episode.
Ratchet and Huffer climb on his jet mode in another.

He's supposed to be quite large.
