New Images of ROTF Legends Jetfire - With Robot Mode!

Face looks really nice but in a bad place.

Thats...ummm...

Creative?

...riiiiiiiight.

Next.

i think its pretty cool... certainly different.. i can imagine at full size he'll be quite menacing

...still, im very curious about the whole tab/slot on him and legends Optimus..

I really hope that the movie versions and the larger toy versions look better than this. His face definitely looks evil. I can hardly imagine him becoming an Autobot ever. Who knows?

these images are MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better

Wow...I was really not expecting that...

So, Laserbeak is a bird-headed hunchback? Then again, I guess it does sorta look like a Chozo statue...

Still looks like a Mini-con. Crap-py. Why can't they make the Movie Legends as good as the new Universe Legends? Is it just that the Movie designs don't lend themselves well to the small scale of Legends?

hmmm, I dread to think what the deluxe version of this toy will look like. Movie Jetfire needs a kneck.

I hope that his larger toy a) will look a whole lot cooler, and b) if he looks that menacing in Robot Mode, he should have a second Autobot Robot Mode for when he joins them (that is, if he does join them).

Kinda like Punch/Counterpunch, Doubledeader, (Double)Clouder, and Shockwave/Longarm (Prime) with having two Robot Modes.

I agree with the alt autobot mode concept there. That would be cool . That would also get rid of this strange looking thing called Jetfire too. He is quite similar to the movie Starscream in a lot of ways too.

He looks like the Terrorcon Blot in anorexic mode- a well hung one at that!

Jetfire is one of my favorite characters. I have no idea who that is, but it's not Jetfire. At least in legends. All i can say for now is, what the ...?

Wow...uhmmm...anyone else thinking Go-Bots when they see this?

It may be a little too early to comment on this but I really honestly do not like what i see.

Great high-quality, close up pictures though.

Is it just me or does he look like a black version of the crested dinosaur from Jurassic Park? Maybe he spits poison too.

Looking this mean, I don't know how he'd be converted to the Autobot cause.

I sure hope the bigger version of him looks better.

I think the character design looks awesome! Like some hulking, menacing, war machine.

Hmmm...very original idea. My first thought is that this is almost an homage to Robotech- the bot mode is almost like a "gerwalk" mode. I like it! Very original, pretty detailed for a legend fig in alt mode. I know people are angry because "OMG it doesn't look like G1 Jetfire!" but that's ok. I look forward to some larger molds with more bot detailing. This has got to be a Voyager or Ultra fig...

looks pretty stupid the larger class better be good.

It will... take some getting used to. I've given up trying to expect respect of what's coming before from the new movies and just enjoy it for being a new take on Transformers. The alien designs have grown on me, and I never thought that would happen. Even STARSCREAM I like now.

We can't really gauge what Jetfire will truly look like in the movie based on a Legends-class figure, but I'm intrigued by the seeming homage to the Robotech gerwalk mode.

Legend class figures are a poor way to judge what a movie character will look like in a larger size, but they do give a general idea of the designs.

IMO Jetfire look very decepticon like with the trademark red eyes and a menacing hunchback body.

Maybe its a disquise,but It reminds me of Dinobot for some reason.

When Dinobot joined the maximals he was basically the same, still ruthless, but with a code of honor and respect that had to grow over time.

This time maybe Jetfire is a natural decepticon, and not a peaceful autobot that happpend to be with starscream like the show.

this makes him joining the Autobots more interesting, becasue he sould still be deception, but with a respect for Prime.

The Go-Bot Snoop was an SR71 Blackbird. It actually had a cooler robot mode.

The Go-Bot Vamp's robot form even looks similar to this one's.

Fuuuuuuuu-gly! If the full sized toy looks anything like this, I'm not buying it...needless to say, I'm not buying a black Jetfire anyway. G1 repaint only, and only if it's way less ugly than Movie Starscream.

It looks like a ZBot

he needs a fin

He looks like Quasimodo.

In other words: yuck.

ummm... hey guys, did anybody catch the Decepticon symbol on the top of his shoulders in that last picture?


So much for being Autobot Jetfire.

Looks like an alien robot you'd see in an old B-movie but worse. Now i remember why i hate the movie look.

Wow! A movie line figure that's freekin hideous! Didn't see that coming...

Whoa...that's just....hmm.

I *still* do not understand why they are giving Generation One names to these things. If they have no resemblance in the slightest way to the namesake, why give them that name? If there's no homage to the original, I would rather them be new characters altogether.

Regardless of the name, this toy looks terrible. Like someone else said, it looks like a little Z-Bot from the 90's.

Why do I get the feeling that "Jetfire" is going to be the roaring, non-talking, dimwitted type?

Jetfire looks worse than I thought he looks like the shark designs on planes if you know what I'm talking about.

Because he might be a rehash of Devestator from the first movie. He will put up a huge fight and get killed before he says more than two whole words. Maybe he will just say something in robot "talk" like they did in the first one. Duh...

So much for the smart scientist element. I can't picture a good natured scientist looking like an anorexic G1 Blot with a long robo penis hanging down. He looks like a Transformer that Gwar would tear up in one of their shows. "HangerCon!" LOL! get it? He looks like a demon possessed clothes hanger and he has a long...

He does not appear to be modeled after the personality of the G1 Jetfire at all. Again, just make up a new name then.

HangerCon or HangingCon, Nosediver, Ichabot Crane or Hemroidicus Burn (instead of JetFire) would be apt names to choose from.

No doubt the one on the big screen will look better. These mini sized things usually don't do the characters much justice.

This is atrocious. I can't imagine him combining with prime ever.his makes me dread the movie partly now, but half of me is still excited.

His face Looks like The Fallen's......

Well, I have to say I'm quite pleased. Very vicious-looking, can't wait to see the larger-class toy. TRANSFORMING BLACKBIRD, HELL YEAH.

I understand the comments about reassigning the cool, collected flying bus scientist Jet/Skyfire name to a hulking menace, but really, this isn't G1. It hasn't been for a solid year and a half now. Why is this such a surprise to everyone?

Exactly my point.

I can accept Optimus Prime, since there are tons of other Optimus incarnations, and because Movie Prime at least has features that identify him.

All of the others have not a single feature or even color remaining that say "I'm _____". I had no idea who they were on sight alone. If not for the name, I would have thought Bumblebee was Hotshot.

I suspect the actual character and full sized toy will look better (hopefully). This is just meant to be a teaser, much like the 'protoform' toys and such for the first movie, and the movie style just doesn't lend very well to Legends size.

Eh, name assignment can just be chalked up to ease of reusing existing trademarks or whatnot. Why file for a new one when there's plenty of ones to pick from?

Besides, Bay probably picked Jetfire because IT'S A JET THAT'S USES FIRE MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

what if he had a flamethrower in his mouth

DO NOT LIKE !!!

If that is his Gerwalk mode, I hope to see his Batroid mode soon.
