Hm, the Jetfire/Optimus sounds interesting. But I'm worried that the Megatron will just be a repaint of the current Leader Megs. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[Forgotten]

Please make me a better Leader Megs, please make me a better Leader Megs. They're basically creating a new Jetfire as an armor pack for OP so it's quite possible that they're going to remold/retool Megatron to maybe give him better arms. That's really all I want. Don't let me down TakTomy

[Neurie]

Oth those items are on hobby link japan with s 5% preorder discount

[Blurrz]

Hmmm.. they're milking this combination hard.

[Chaoslock]

No alt. mode for Jetfire... Pass.

[kirbenvost]

So roughly how much are these in USD? I'm interested, but not if they're expensive. Jetfire's robot mode is the part I don't like about him. Although I don't exactly need another movie Prime... I still haven't found a Megatron I'm happy with.

[Convotron]

UA-01 seems very interesting. Jetfire appears to be designed to be more of an accessory and perhaps we'll see a more movie accurate version of Jetpower Optimus Prime.

As far as UD-01 Megatron, if it does indeed have a more movie accurate paint job, I may be interested. If the sculpting of the figure has been updated and improved, I'm definitely interested.

[Alex Jones]

I am also hoping the the alt mode for Megatron is movie accurate *cough* wings *cough*

[Razorclaw0000]

I'm interested. It seems like ROTF is going to drag on for a very long time, though.

Thats exactly what I thought when I read the description.

I imagine they will treat Jetfire the same way that they did Ultra Magnus in RID (authough without a robot mode of course) and have the figure break up as armor pieces that fit on various spots on Prime.

Also I wonder what size classes these new figures will be. Megs seems to be listed at 3,499 yen, where the Prime/Jetfire pack is 5,999. So they're probably smaller than their leader class figures.

I think that Prime is going to be the standard Prime and Jetfire will be a slightly scaled down version so that things don't appear so bulky. With the price listing for it i'm going with they're pricing it the same as a "Perfect Edition", just a Prime with an interactive trailer type module.

[Swiftknife24]

Is there anything to say what scale these figures are? I'm interested anyway, but if they're Leader-Sized, I wonder if they'll be worth getting instead of the current Leaders...(A real seller would be Jetfire's sound chip; I can't stand that pathetic voice on his figure at the moment, it needs to be glorious! Although, considering this new one has no robot mode, it's a slim chance he'll have a voice at all...)

[Jacob P. Galvatron]

Kibble Jetfire?
Hmmm...

Man I hope that isn't going to be the new trend then, where Prime will just start wearing his underlings like in Armada.

[zenosaurus_x]

No robot mode for Jetfire? LAME. It's not even jetfire its...Kibble fire!
If they fix Megatron's face I'll be happy....his face was way too ugly in the new movie and toys.

[UltraPrimal]

I think that Jet-Powered Optimus sounds better than that Asia exclusive 2-pack Prime and Jetfire. And it sounds like Prime might make a decent movie Guiltor. Prime with a giant gun on the back of his truck mode? Yep! Sounds like Guiltor to me.

I think this Megatron will be a new mold.

[Covenant]

Here's to hoping for a better Jet-Prime. I realize many like to go on & on about constraints of various types, but the end all is that Leader Class Prime combined with Leader Class Jetfire was a practical display piece.

[mattyc1007]

So optimus turns into one of these right?



Me likey the sound of this, it sounds very Hybrid Style Formers. If so, and at a good price I will have to look at this.

Hopefully prime wont be as Fat as he was at the end of the film, if so Ive got a new cast for Weird Al's Fat song

[Alex Jones]

...

I think this Megatron will be a new mold.

I hope so.

Is it possible for Hasbro or whomever is making these toys to redo the molds?

[Screamfleet]

No alt. mode for Jetfire... Pass.

His alt mode really isn't that great anyway.

[Dead Metal]

The Prime is the Voyager mold with extra Jetfire armour parts while Megatron is the ROTF Voyager mold with a movie accurate paintjob. We've seen tiny teaser images of them both before.
