Takara Tomy Transformers Studio Series Jetfire Directions Show Combination with Optimus Prime

Okay, so I haven't done one of these in quite a while, but check out some pics of SS 38 Bumblebee Prime and a few of his friends.


I tell ya, I just can't get over how good this figure is. In fact, I honestly feel he only has one real flaw:



That big ass hole in the back of his truck mode is glaring, but ultimately forgivable. Also, unlike the previous two SS Prime's, he has a much cleaner side view:



Here we can see the three SS diorama backgrounds:



Individual shots:







Bot modes, showing how much better than siege they are:





Weapons:



Vehicle modes:









Vehicle mode weapon storage (there may be other ways to do this on these figures, but I'm too tired to look it up):



The movie guys decide they have had enough of Siege's crap:



And they teach him a lesson:





I know a lot of original bayverse fans don't like this version of movie Prime from the Bumblebee movie, but for me, this is everything I've ever wanted in a movie Prime. I don't think I can state enough how much I love it and how awesome it is. Hope you enjoyed another round of my highly amateurish and slightly buzzed photo sessions.

If I'm not wrong, I saw in a couple of reviews that you can storage the gun of Bee movie Optimus between the legs under the truck mode, filling the gap

Thanks to Seibertronian Sabrblade Takara has posted their Instructions for Studio Series Jetfire, and it appears as though there have been some extra parts added to said instructions. The main things to note are the addition of a section showing how to transform Jetfire's torso, arms, and head into the big cannon his combined form with Optimus Prime wields, as well as the addition of a section showing that you can store the Optimus Prime ab section that Jetfire comes with on his back, which is something that so far, no one has reported doing.

Before now, people could only guess how Jetfire formed the gun, but now we have some official instructions to show us how.

Check out the directions by following the link above, and let us know if this helps you form your Powered up Optimus Prime below!

I have a pretty BIG question as someone that's always 'physical copy'-whenever possible. Is anyone cataloging and preserving all of these Digital pieces of Transformers data? Like Instructions, the Siege secret stuff? The RiD scanning thingy?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, we all know if there was something to fill that area in, it'd just end up making his backpack bigger

Also, you're seriously swaying me towards getting this, I take your opinion's seriously in fig's I'm on the fence on, and I think I'll have to get him if I see him in hand

SS38's gun is meant to fill in the gap in truck mode. Don't know how in particular it does, but it does

I was (and still am) extremely on the fence between Siege and SS38 Primes, but in the end, I decided to fill in the one empty spot that was unfilled for all of years of collecting and got Siege Megatron instead (finally filling in the void of a Megatron in my collection, and I don't regret it either)

However, this leaves an empty space for a proper Voyager Prime, so I may just get Siege Prime to go with my Siege Optimus

So your biggest gripe is a back of a cab that isn’t that far from accurate to a real semi truck cab?

Ever seen the back of a cab? They’re pretty gappy, see through and unnatractive. Most bak wheel areas of a cab is just a frame with wheels

Thank you. I was going to say this myself.

Why are you guys trying to ruin Optimus Prime's thigh gap? He worked hard to lose that weight!

If you turn Bumblebee Optimus over and flip up the 2 grey panels next to the fuel tanks, you can fit the rifle in between the gap facing outwards. The 2 posts on the side of the rifle actually fit where the grey flaps lifted up. Once inside, the flaps will close back up, securely holding the rifle in place and filing in the gap. Hope this helps. If I have a chance later, I'll post a pic.

For Cyberverse, though, right?

No, that listing says a Studio Series voyager and leader Megatron, only 2 SS figures on the list too. Wonder if we are set to get another TLK Megatron and a Movie 1 Megatron
