If the character looks anything like the FAB or Legends it'll be crap. ROTF has been very disappointing to me so far. And we're losing Animated. What's next? Movieverse cartoon show? Woopteedoo. The only reason I'm even considering buying Jetfire is because he is a SR-71 Blackbird, and those things friggin rule.

SR-71 Blackbird FTW

Same goes for F-22 Raptors.

Ugh... am i THE ONLY ONE WHO READ THIS FROM TOY FAIR?

 

TRANSFORMERS MOVIE FIGURES

(Approximate retail price: starting from $12.99; Ages: 5 & up; Available: Summer 2009)

For more than 25 years, TRANSFORMERS action figures have been known for their “MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE†play pattern, with robots converting into vehicles, and then back to robots again. In 2009, TRANSFORMERS movie action figures featuring the new film’s most popular characters will be available in three scales: DELUXE, VOYAGER (larger scale), and LEADER (largest scale and includes lights and sounds). DELUXE includes 24 characters, VOYAGER will offer 11 characters, AND LEADER WILL FEATURE THREE, INCLUDING OPTIMUS PRIME AND JETFIRE.

 

 

Apparently so, I missed this. Thanks for saving the trouble of finding it.

 

As for the picture itself, nothing to get too worked up over. I'm just hoping the leader class will better looking than the other toys I've seen of Jetfire.

:shrug So ain't getting any Leaders unless they're £25 ish at the most... Which they're not, so I ain't getting

:shrug So ain't getting any Leaders unless they're �25 ish at the most... Which they're not, so I ain't getting

 

 

why? the leader prime looks incredible.. and it's not like the prices have been raised on the leader class figures. (at least not that i've seen)

 

i'm glad this big chunk has been taken out so that the robot mode has less kibble, i still want to know how he is going to combine with prime (if the figures actually do)

 

and i really wish they would have made starscream a leader figure rather than megatron or jetfire. and seeing the new megatron i would have rather had a leader the fallen.

If you go to the official transformers web site hasbro states the following;

 

DELUXE includes 24 characters, VOYAGER will offer 11 characters, and LEADER will feature three, including OPTIMUS PRIME and JETFIRE.

 

So, there is a leader class jetfire figure. This looks like part of the back body of an SR-71 blackbird and I think it folds over to become a gun like classics optimus's wind vane.

 

also someone posted a video review for the legends jetfire fig on youtube and it clips into the back of legends optimus.

 

 

 

:tflaugh

I thought Jetfire was already confirmed as 1 of the 3 Leader figures. I want to see toy pics of Prime and Jetfire combined...

This is absolute stupidity.

 

I can't even believe we're entertaining this jackass and his stunts.

 

He wouldn't pull this shit if we wouldn't let him.

 

Seriously, a PIECE of a TF? Are you kidding me? WTF?

Imagine paying at least $60 for a Leader class. Cause that's what I go through. And I'm not made of money. So I buy only up to Ultras now. And whatdoyaknow? All the ones that are good are in that price range nowadays...

This is absolute stupidity.

Hey I thought the same thing when I first saw the article, but as we can see the fandom is tolerating it hahahaha....

 

Anyhow, I like transforming planes, if this is done well this might be the first $60 leader figure in my collection....hmmmm
