    Sorry, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

    Flipping out the fists and the fire and ice wings (didn't you all hate Voyager Megs for this same reason?) isn't going to change a whole lot :p

    Good greif people get over it.

    I'm on the "lets see some properly transformed pics" before i say anything about the design. I agree that a repaint wouldnt be bad at all on these two, the colors clash far too much.

    Id like to know how they play out in the show, but it seems animated is going far too much in the cheezy cartoon direction for me to care much about the series now. This is sorta proof.

    and if it hasnt been said already "WONDER TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE!!!":tongue:

    whiile I'm still down on the Jetfire/Jetstorm figure, I'm WAY inspired that Derrick keeps up and responds to the fandom so quickly. Very, very cool.

    while I'm still not sure I actually WANT these figures, the revalation about the hands vastly improves my opinion of them!

    I'm glad that we've gotten a clarification on these guys. I was worried that they wouldn't pass the same level of awesome that most of the rest of Animated has been.

    yeah, but their names aren't Mini-personal-Cybertronian-shuttle-fire and Mini-personal-Cybertronian-shuttle-storm.

    i remember the bio. i had the box for 22 years. with that in mind though does jetstorm ice up and fall like a rock?

    i dont care if it all refers back to something. the end result is nothing i can relate to. leader class megatron,voyager starscream, and even jazz made me think that there was a lot of potential for a great animated jetfire. according to my personal taste i was very wrong.

    ...like a hailstone ... from a storm ... GEDDIT!?!? :D 

    just guesses mostly, but I can see a few ways things could be improved, at least on the combined robot end of things. First off, the 'heels' of the feet look like they could easily double as hands, which seems to be supported by the box art. Turn the arms sideways so the feet are on the outside, and the hands are on the inside. It also looks like it may be possible to raise the shoulders up farther than shown in the photo, as well as closer to the body. That would help a bit on the gorilla proportion goin' on. (even more if the arms can be shortened without losing the elbow joint.)

    Blah. I hate to be the sinical guy, but it'll take a lot more than a set of hands to make these things worth my money.

    There is nothing what so ever I like about the design or concept. They just look bad in every way.

    Bumblebee isn't a bumblebee either and I've never seen Sentinel Prime do guard duty.

    Found these comic pics on 4chan. They look kind of cool here, and they have hands lol. Maybe someone can add these to the first post? You don't need to credit me or anything.

    I don't think you should be posting those here...


    Unless someone official said it was ok.


    edit: Nevermind, I saw the thread in the animated forum.

    By that reasoning, Frenzy should be an abstract state of being, not a cassette.

    TF names don't always have to compliment their alt mode. Some just reference their abilities or attributes. It's not like they're Go-Bots.

    I don't get the obsession with the lack of wings myself. Me I keeping them with out wings out in jet mode. To me with out the wings they look like some sort of Sci-Fi/BSG type fighter craft.. If they were f18 style jets with wings off or missing I can understand. But they are space jets. Space jets don't really need wings in space.

    I agree, but it a bit of ashame you can clearly see the legs... on the other hand... If I am honest and I take a look at my animated voyager prime I can also clearly see legs. And I reaally like voyager Prime
