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

Nope. The average Supreme class height was about 15 inches tall. This Jetfire being 11 inches puts him roughly a half inch shorter than the likes of the CW/UW/POTP Combiners, Armada Tidal Wave, and Beast Machines Ultra class Nightscream.

See, that sounds perfect for me. He should be just a bit shorter than a combiner! Man, it will be nice to have another figure which is properly big, but isn't a combiner or a titan.

True. I think the best figures to compare would be the old Super class figures of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus from RiD 2001 (Car Robots Super Fire Convoy and God Magnus).

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.

Nah, Thunderwing should just be a repaint of TR skyshadow and maybe give him a deluxe figure to pretend to be his inner/use as a weaponiser. Starsaber already has MP at that scale which still fits the siege/classics toyline as its a bit of an oddity with the more traditional early series G1 MPs. It's only a matter of time for Deathsauras as it looks like every series is getting some representation between Siege and Legends.

Still keeping my cyber battalion jetfire as it fits on my shelves but will definitely get rid of my classics with the new one coming out (who will probably have to stand next to the MPs anyways). I've not the faintest where Omega is going to go.

[Wireless_Phantom]

At this point do we know if Omega is compatible with the base connectors from Titans Return?

I'd argue it'd probably work a little better if they made Star Saber in this size class, then retool Thunderwing out of Star Saber. Plus, it gives a more accessible Star Saber figure that doesn't cost all that much.

If I had to guess, the back of the shelf.

Speaking of figures that I want to buy but can't get because I want to focus on Siege

Not to my knowledge, no

We know their heights, they interacted with characters we have toys of. They would all be leader class or something along that line. Commander class for any would be beyond dumb since they wouldnt be able to interact with other characters we already have. Jetfire and Skylynx are the only ones that work at commander class.

And Galaxy Shuttle. He was a big dude.

Haha, sure but I as being my boring realist self and only naming characters Hasbro would do.

He's a shoe-in with his Micromaster interactivity tho. You reading this, Hasbro?

[Seibertron]

You mean like Skyshadow, the Dinosaur cassettes, Liokaiser, etc.?

[william-james88]

The only one I wouldnt have guessed would be the dinosaur casettes. The rest, sure, its all retools anyway. I feel confident in saying if we do have galaxy shuttle, it wont be commander class. I dont mind being proven wrong though. Of course people can always hope, like they did for a G2 devastator redeco of the titan class toy, and for a redeco of metroplex into metrotitan and for a correct liokaiser that uses the same combiner wars system ect.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Tidal Wave could be a good size match to Jetfire... Just saying

[william-james88]

Ah yes, very much so. Was thiking of G1, but yeah thats good.

I mentioned before, the only "big" G1 Decepticons, along the lines of Jetfire, were the Triple Changers. A Cybertronian Astrotrain would be pretty nice.

I mean, galaxy shuttle looks suspiciously like what a re-imagined armada jetfire could look like, just saying now that we know this is coming...



The web of repaint-ability sprawls even wider

(Now, that's not to say that an armada jetfire is even coming, but they do look similar, and I wouldn't put it past TT at least to repurpose an armada jetfire as galaxy shuttle)

Only problem would be that we're hamstrung by bot mode size, and if I recall right, Blitzwing and Astrotrain aren't much bigger then Megatron. So only way we could get them at commander is if we could condense massive alt modes to voyager sized bots.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Yeah. Other than Gestalts, most of the Big bots (Omega Supreme, Jetfire, Sky Lynx) were purely Autobot. Tidal Wave or Beast Machines Jetstorm are the only real exceptions, yet as noted by Will, they aren't G1.

[Deadput]

What if they repaint/remold Jetfire in colors homaging Cybertron Jetfire's Decepticon alter ego/disguise Sky Shadow as a G1 version of Sky Shadow as an actual Decepticon? With a new head and such resembling Cybertron Jetfire.




Don't know if there are any other remold things they could do to make him look closer but I think it's a neat idea, although I love Cybertron Jetfire's colors they probably wouldn't make much sense as an Autobot

[blackeyedprime]

I think just one of these jetfires will be enough for me but possible redecos could be half orange/blue as Safegaurd (would kind of look G2ish by colour scheme alone) or a seperate repaint each for animateds jetfire/jetstorm. that or another evil/black version with goatee.

[Sabrblade]

Tidal Wave could be a good size match to Jetfire... Just saying

Hehe, amusingly enough, an 11-inch Commander class Tidal Wave would end up still being roughly a half-inch shorter than the original 11.5-inch Armada figure.

[Rodimus Prime]

Tidal Wave needs to be a Titan Class figure. Anything smaller wouldn't do it justice.
