    Ah, one-shot custom, gotcha. The comment about it being unpainted like a resin kit kinda threw me off.

    I was just about to start a custom Jetfire that would parts-form into armor for Optimus. Now I can put that project on hold until I see what this is!

    Took them this long to come up with a 3rd party Jetfire-Optimus link-up add-on?

    That said, I'm still very interested in this. If it comes near what the concept designs look like, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

    The arms are a giveaway that it is the leader. The voyager figure's arm panels don't fold like that.

    It definitely gets the point across. XD

    Seeing how the first two sets were for the most part unpainted (save for a little black and silver used very sparingly here and there), I'm guessing these will be molded in black plastic with very minimal paint apps. Wonder what the parts count will be; just the winged fuselage or will it include more?

    I was thinking about the pricing... If this is just the backpack, the boosters and wings shown are about the same size as the cannons and swords they made for iron hide. That set was about thirty bucks before shipping. They could probably add armor and keep it under a hundred dollars.

    I hope it's less than $50, I really don't want to pay more for an upgrade then I did for the actual figure.

    Yeah if they plan on selling it in three sections... Look at the Ironhide and Starscream upgrades they released. Those are $30 each and look how much you get.

    All this time I was focused on the backpack, I finally realized that the black that goes over Prime's shoulder is for Jetfire's cockpit...
