    I'm a little confused. Is this an upgrade to Hasbro JetFire or this is a completely new figure? Why would you have fillers in a new figure.
    From TF-Direct:

    Set Includes:
    - 1 x Sky Crusher Figure
    - 1 x Head Warrior
    - 1 x Cannon
    - 2 x Cannon Connectorthe


    - 2 x Thigh filler
    - 2 x Shank filler
    - 2 x Foot filler
    - 1 x Back filler
    - 1 x Transformable cannon gun

    It's a full, standalone figure.

    Though it seems they can't even match the listing with the contents pictured on their site.

    I don't think I've ever seen any mention of this as being anything but a full figure. It was even teased by X2Toys at Cons long before it was even announced and had nothing remotely resembling the Generations figure to it.

    That product description at TCP is puzzling. The description actually fits X2Toys own Ultra Magnus upgrade. Perhaps a copy and paste :lol 

    Just replace thighs with shins.

    On Tf-direct and TCP both must be wrong thien. After looking at BBTS, I feel better. Must of been the origrinal design to upgrade Generations Skyfire. Definitely waiting for a review on this first... ^O^

    BBTS:
    Sky Crusher is a fully transformable figure switching between a fierce battling robot to a fighter jet. In addition Sky Crusher also has a half transformation mode and a battle turret mode making him a more versatile fighting machine. Included with Sky Crusher is a pilot figure that is able to ride in the cockpit in all four modes.
    Product Features
    • Third party transforming figure
    • Made of plastic
    • 4 Mode transformation
    • LED lights in the eyes
    • Pilot can stay in cockpit during transformation
    • Weapons can be used as a pair of cannons or swords
    Box Contents
    • Sky Crusher figuure
    • Pilot figure
    • 2 Cannon/sword weapons

    While I certainly understand that others feel differently, IMHO, there's only one 3P "masterpiece-style" Skyfire/Jetfire and that is FansToys' Phoenix. He's a bit big and unwieldy. However, the mold, the transformation - heck - everything about him - is just ripped right from the G1 animation cels. I had a G1 Jetfire and while it was a fun toy on it's own, I always wanted something that looked like the cartoon version. It took 30+ years, but I finally got it. There's just no need (in my mind) to even investigate other versions of the figure.

    Yeah this is supposed to go with TR/CHUG collection. But you are correct about FT phoenix....he is the standard to base all other sky fire figs. Cause he be awesome.

    I guess I missed the part where he was more in line with the CHUG style. (To be honest, I really only look at 3P stuff for Masterpiece scale anyway)

    God damn, fuck G1 accuracy. I'm getting sick of seeing "this isn't G1 enough" comments on figures that aren't meant to be G1 figures. Happy with Phoenix? Fantastic! But I'm not. He's too god damn big so I'm sorry if you are somehow offended by a non MP giant Skyfire.... Wait, no, I'm not. No one cares how great Phoenix is in here cause he doesn't fit with our collections.

    Pass on Phoenix. He's too big. I really only collect chug.
    Phoenix is way too Toon accurate.
    I think i'm going to stalk the Phoenix thread with these kind of comments for a while. See you there trolls ;)

    Just a replacement Titan Master away from being my ideal CHUG Skyfire. Articulation and playability are already great.

    I can't wait to get this!
