It appears as though BigPhill of TFW2005 has gotten his hands on the previously reported TRU exclusives seen here and taken some pics to share with us! To see the images please click here.

Jetstorm looks great even with the drab color scheme. The purple highlights in his bot mode are nice. Sort of Astrotrain-ish.

Wingblade, sadly, looks awful in robot mode. Which is a shame, because I actually love the Wing Saber mold, and not just because he can combine with Prime. With those colors, he would look ghastly combined any version of the C-Prime mold, anyway. Looks like a Big Lots knockoff.

As far as I know, no. But I’m thinking Spring since they have some TRU exclusive GIJoes coming out then and they usually come out with some new TF stuff at the same time.

these dont even look close to the movie line formers wouldnt even look right on the shelf next to all my movie stuff, and since i sold all my cybertron formers i will have to skip these and wait for animated.

I skipped both of them the first time I saw them, and it looks like I am gonna skip 'em a second time.

The colors just dont work, should have been darker grey or maybe black

Look how baly the autoboy symbol is painted on wingblade.

Those are really weak. Indeed, they look like KO's

Well at least Jetstorm can be transformed into 8 different unofficial modes...

Eeewww!

Their colour palettes are just all wrong, aweful.

I caught that too!

hmmmm might get both if i see them, my toys r us aint huge, but hopefully they'll have them. any ideas on uk release???

Jetstorm's vehicle mode looks fantastic! His robot mode looks cool too. Wingblade is very well done in both modes. But I'm still not gonna get either for two reasons. One, they weren't in the film. Two, I can't get to a TRU or purchase them online.

I actually kinda like the way they look...
But not enough.
Check please!!!!

I would have hoped that with the drab paint job they would have come off looking 'realistic'. Instead, they just kind of look unfinished. Jetstorm would have done better with Movie Dreadwing's camo scheme.

And Wingblade has apirations of being Wolverine?

News Credits: 1 · by **Sgt.Schnitzel** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 4:01 pm

Man that colour scheme is dull, realistic but still very dull, definite pass for me.

Sweet.. can't wait for this either!

Just couldn't host the images could ya!

Well, I'm gonna go check these out now. From what I've seen already the white blan Jetfire is a maybe cause it seems to work. The Wing Saber redeco was too until I saw the bot mode(Liege don't like green).

Well here I go, lets see if all these links will change my mind

The bio on new Jetfire is dam good, and again the color scheme real works here too. He'll be one of the few redecos I shell out this much for.

On to Wing Saber, who should be worried about Wolverine suing for copyright infringment with that Bio.

As JetFire's redeco works wonders, sadly the same concept doen't aply to this figure, I'll stick with my Cybertron version.

HOWEVER, if you missed him the first time around, even if you don't have Cybertron/Galaxy Force Prime, this figure is still awesome and the mold is realy recomended anyway!

Drinking since noon with only 1 day off, Liege.

I'd definitely like to get Wingblade if I see it. I'm not sure about Jetstorm though. I guess it will depend on how much spare cash I have when I see these.

I did not get the cybertron versions of these, and I wasn't sure about how much these were going to be. I hope not too much, especially for Wingblade. I have to agree that I might get Jetstorm if I have enough spare cash.

Sorry, it was more than my job was worth to go through all 50+ images, save them all, upload them and wrap the image tags around each one. Even with just the URLs, this story took me 20 minutes to post.

People need to remember I don't get paid to do this... and I don't mean that in a bad way, I enjoy what I do. But when you're as busy as I am, and you spend most of your board time posting news and telling users that "I'm sorry we didn't credit you but the board setup won't allow us to post news from an existing thread" - well, it kind of takes the fun out of the hobby. I don't even get to comment on the news anymore, I just post it and I don't have time to even express my opinion about it, and that's the reason I came to these boards in the first place.

Hell, I don't even think I can call Transformers a hobby anymore. It's starting to become a pain in the ass more than anything.
