    I am afraid the Black version will be a TFCon exclusive.

    Why can't the CHUG Jetfires get the heads right?

    I’d decided I didn’t much like either colourway until I saw this. YES. VERY YES.

    The white version looks good but definitely needs some more red

    I hope not as well, because if yes, I am going to regret not swinging through Chicago next month on my see America trip.

    I wonder whos next in cross dimension after this, galvatron, and rodimus. I mean bee is in the comics...I would be into an apc soundwave, springer, or ironhide. Curious if that ultra magnus is in the works and if he even transforms.

    I don't have Facebook so if there's info there ive missed it

    If they're making rodimus, they might make hot rod....

    It's not 100% clear whether the one they showed was rodimus or hot rod. It had no name on the slide

    As has been said, Black Shadow.

    But if that’s already covered for ya, then consider this fella to be G2 Cyberjet Skyjack, reborn.

    Fansproject has - on occassion - been 'guilty' of releasing lousy promotional pictures and, while theirs is a rather extreme case (their store has in stock items listed with a beta photo) and MT definitely isn't FP on that front, I will just assume that's the case here.

    Seriously, the Jetfire pictures make no sense; no way we're gonna see that shampoo-bottle plastic.

    Well non prime version. The hot rod/rodimus name is interchangeable these days

    Both versions look good. I don't think the black version will be a con exclusive. It might be a limited run like the Nemesis versions they have been doing. Maketoys has been good at making the repaints in this line mostly accessible.

    Your probably right, but at the end I'm eh on the black one. I think the main version will suffice for me. Those promo pics do look horrible for the standard release colors though.

    I'm just glad we are getting a CHUG Skyfire/Jetfire, its not like companies are lining up for the Sky/Jetfire wars.

    Honestly, I prefer the White over the Black. I actually kinda dig the color break-up with the grays.
    But who am I kidding, I'll probably be getting both.
