Seibertron.com member, astrobard, provides a look at the cross sell for a new Transformers ROTF toy package. From the package pic, we get a pretty good look at the combined form of leader class Optimus Prime, and leader class Jetfire called 'Power Up Optimus Prime'.

Long believed to be only a rumor, Jetfire and Optimus Prime combining has been proven in a a few different toy and merchandise pictures that we have seen.

The question now is what part will the combined Jetimus Prime play in the new movie? No movie still leaks of the two bots combined yet, so it looks like the plot point surrounding this dynamic duo working together is still locked up safe in the vault.

You can view two images of package cross sell below, and please feel free to discuss what you think about the toys, the combination or the movie.

Holy cow! That's awesome! And he's even got a BSG (big slaggin' gun) too!

Wait, I'm also looking closely at the names of Devy's components, and I can't tell if the backhoe says "Demolisher", "Scavenger", or whatever. If we can find out, we can probably get a confirmation on his identity.

Power up optimus prime.......thats the funniest thing ive ever heard. What a crappy name. Im going to buy Prime but not jetfire. Not only does the toy it self suck but that "power up" mode is retarded and looks like crap. Theres nothing to it. It just slaps on the back. Well thats $40 saved. And another what ever amount of cash saved on "devastator". Thanks hasbro. On another note has any one been able to make out the names of the dev. vehicles?

The picture is WAYYYYYYYYYY too small to make an honest opinion. Ill wait for decent images, thank you very much.

Also, weve known the Devastator names for awhile. Demolisher, Rampage, Long Haul, Mixmaster, Hightower, Scrapper. We have box art declaring the wheel-bot Demolisher, the name has been flying around nonstop, and lets be honest, the SCVNGR on the model is probably just an homage. The same site that said its Scavenger said there was 7 components to Devastator instead of six. I think the tally is set.

It's safe to assume that it would be transformed correctly in this image, right?

A list of Decepticons on Rotten Tomatoes had Demolisher listed separately from the Constructicons.

wow.

the combined form looks utterly retarded. so basically they 69 and gross out decepticons? haha sorry. but yeah also wouldnt that plane be ridiculously larger than a truck cab? don't even get me started on the complete blasphemy that is the toy versions of the constructicons/devastator. shame on ANYONE who pays for figures called transformers that dont...transform. Hasbro really expects us to buy versions of constructicons that don't combine, AS WELL AS a set of just their vehicle forms to make what doesn't even remotely compare to a real gestault? I'm getting real scared man. The 07 movie was amazing but it seems that this one will just be gimmicks to try and get us to by these half assed figures. If you love transformers...for the love of the cybertron...don't buy these! DONT!

I'm sure it is mistransformed in 1 way or another...

I blame that awesome key chain silhouette for getting my hopes up.

Posted by El Duque on April 20th, 2009 @ 11:05pm CDT

I was planning on getting both figures anyway, if they can combine it's just a bonus. I wait to see larger better quality pics before I form an opinion on the combined mode. There's a good chance it's misstransformed, Hasbro is notorius for that.

Re: 'Power Up Optimus Prime' Combined Leader Toys Image (912932)
Posted by typh0id on April 20th, 2009 @ 11:06pm CDT

Well despite everyone's mundanely predictable bitching, I don't think it looks all bad...Certainly better than previous pics where Prime was just wearing an SR71 on his back...

What exactly do you want it to look like? I'm assuming the whole purpose for them combining is for Prime to have the ability to fly so Jetfire just needs to be his jetpack...And as such, it looks fine to me...Could have been way worse...

The name IS pretty stupid though...I'll give you that...

If the individual Constructicons can't transform into robots themselves, I'm not getting the Devastator set. Save my money for a G1 original instead.

I like Jetfire's robot mode a lot so I will not be displaying them combined. I'm pretty sure that is a bit mistransformed. The wings looks like they can be put into a better formation than they are in the pictures.

Posted by robofreak on April 21st, 2009 @ 3:25am CDT

Hmm... I was hoping for a combination that was more along the lines of the Armada style, but this works.

Now that I think about it, a backpack formation is a logical choice considering how Jetfire is an old timer and probably needed to do some quick mods to himself in order to get Prime airborne. I like how it has a that "neccessity is the mother of invention" feel.

I think I'm going to pick all of these up at Botcon.

Give it a chance. We haven't seen high-res images yet.

There will be 2 sets of Constructicons: One set combines to form Devastator but the individual vehicles don't transform into robots; the other set doesn't combine but the individual vehicles transform into robots and may have 3rd modes.

Well, it's about time they show us their combined form. After seeing these pictures, it made my mind up for me to get these tow ass-kicking robots, to form the biggest, baddest, mother-fucker in the history of transformers

Ha ha ha ha I laugh so hard when I see autobot movie designs(well except for Sideswipe). This just looks like the mythbusters made a styrofoam lawnsmower propelled jetpack for OP. I had hopes for it since I saw the keychain pics first. Now I rust silently from the inside.

This Devastator figure sure looks weird. In the extra footage of ROTF on michaelbay.com, he is quadrapedal. Does anyone think that he is? It would make sense that a robot that big wouldn't be able to walk on two legs. Plus, I think it makes Devastator look better.

Well I am a sucker for Gift Sets so I will be more than likely picking up Deva in its combined glory. The OP combo robot looks intriguing. We'll see how stable it is once it is reviewed.

Re: 'Power Up Optimus Prime' Combined Leader Toys Image (913059)
Posted by rpetras on April 21st, 2009 @ 9:10am CDT

I like the leader class combo. Agreed it is not as cool as the design from the key chain, but still pretty neat.

I'm skipping the Devastator and just getting the individual deluxes.

It still bothers me that the Devastator set vehicles don't have bot modes. Was it that they absolutely couldn't design a complete functional set? Too lazy to? or just a ploy to milk more money from their customers by having us buy multiple sets of the Constructicons?

Something tells me that Jetfire and his siblings all have the ability to merg with the Primes and increase there abilities. To the level of the original 13.

Hasbro is more than likely going to release two sets of Movie Constructicons the first set will be the nontransformer ones that combine into devastor and the second set will be the ones that don't combine but, turn into robots themselves.

All the above is just speculation on my part.

He is gorilla like, so can stand on hind legs, but uses forward limbs for locomotion, and for other things (food gathering, massive destruction, whatever?.

The key chain looks really cool (can't believe I just said that), almost Gundam like, I'm sure it will look good rendered. But with the toy version it just looks like OP is wearing a Jetfire cape, it definitely wasn't worth bastardizing the Jetfire toy just to accomplish the combination.

I love it. The keychain looks better, but very cool either way. It would have been kinda cool if they'd named him Omega Prime, but oh well.

Re: 'Power Up Optimus Prime' Combined Leader Toys Image (913127)
Posted by huffer2009 on April 21st, 2009 @ 12:56pm CDT

Maybe they consulted the video game world to come up with the name:

"In computer and video games, power-ups are objects that instantly benefit or add extra abilities to the game character."

Gives a new weapon, or transforms the player character into a more aggressive form that increases its attack power or makes some enemies vulnerable.

Super Mario Bros. 3: Several new powerups are used. The Raccoon Leaf turns Mario into Raccoon Mario. The Tanooki Suit (that can only be gained in Houses and certain in-level hidden areas) has the same effect as the Leaf but adds the ability to hide as a statue. There is also a Frog Suit (enhances swimming), a Hammer Bros. suit (can throw hammers), and several assorted jewels.

Sales gimmick:

Hasbro: "Why dont you make Jetfire and Optimus Prime combine so we can sell a leader class Optimus to everybody who already bought one from the first movie ?"

Cant tell if the combined form is worth the extra 40 bucks for a third Optimus since I copped both the original leader and the blue one from the first movie. Please provide larger pics...

My theory is that because Devastator vacuums up objects using his mouth, the mouth needs closer to the ground where the TFs and humans are located. If he stood up straight, the distance between the vacuum and objects would be so great that it would be imprecise.

Posted by Giant Purple Griffin on April 21st, 2009 @ 6:36pm CDT

I don't know if this mode is worth two new Leaders. I think this is passable for me and I can just stick with my voyager Prime and hope for a voyager Jetfire to come along whether it combines or not (I doubt it would).

As for Devastator, I think he might walk like a gorilla--all fours, but also bipedal when necessary.

Re: 'Power Up Optimus Prime' Combined Leader Toys Image (913291)
Posted by Overcracker on April 21st, 2009 @ 7:52pm CDT

Very unimpressed by the combination.

Cybertron Prime + Wingsaber pull it of better.

I'll pick up Prime, and wait on Jetfire, see if there's a Voyager version, or when he goes on clearance.

Devastator, looks good. Having seen some if the individual robot modes for the constructicons, I'll likely pickup the combining one, and one or 2 of the non combining robots.

GAHAHAHAahaha..haa.. That was hilarious. In all honesty though, I think it's (the toy's combined mode) a fairly good try, given that the keychain indicates alot of 'meshing' to occur in the combination which if were to happen in the toys might make Jetfire extremely fragile what with all the subsequent thin panels. I don't see why everyone's calling the gun a BFG, it doesn't seem fat and bulky enough (looks more like a rifle/railgun to me).

He's mad hideous compared to the keychain.

Hopefully he's mistransformed.

Posted by darktruth on April 24th, 2009 @ 4:36pm CDT

Hmmm... will hold judgement on the actual figure itself so far, looks mistransformed when compared to the keychain figure. Somebody else said on this forum that maybe by combining they become as strong as the original 13. It would make for a cool scene, "Optifire" and Fallen going one on one while the other Autobots fight Devastator. For some reason that idea reminds me of the exosuit/queen battle from Aliens. (Or the parody of that movie with Joel and Timmy from Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

)
