    Wouldn't that be some shit? If TF4 Prime is similar but just a tad bit better than the ROTF mold. The way things have gone recently, I doubt it but that would be kinda crazy.

    This is going to be expensive. Arm cannons for Ironhide were $40. I'm so done with the movies... But god damn I love this design. I wanna see it on Buster.

    There was a time when this would have dissuaded many people from even considering a product. Now I read it and I think Oh it's going to have good Plastic and Paint Apps. (OK Takara still knows how to paint at least)

    Oh heck yes. FWI might be the one third party I end up going completionist on. I love the two kits they have out already and this looks awesome. Hopefully it gets some great paint apps.

    I'll finally be able to put Jetfire by himself on my movie display.

    FWI proving again why they are the kings of 3P when it comes to movie figure upgrades.

    2 very solid releases so far from them too. No reason to suspect anything else but pure quality from this next release. Looks great, just waiting on price to see if it's within my budget or not.

    Very impressive. That's a lot of newly molded parts and I kinda dread what the final price of the entire kit will be (probably pushing toward the $75-$100 range, I surmise). Still, I really want this (living up to their name XD) on my Buster Prime but with so much other cool stuff getting released soon, I'm not sure my wallet can swing it. Will wait for final colored photos but looking good so far.

    This is awesome! I never liked combining Buster Prime with Jetfire in fear of something getting damaged. This solves all those problems. Count me in.

    Wow, this thing looks amazing. I have their previous two sets and really like them. I just hope that the price is not insane given that they are bit more established now. This is definitely their best looking and most ambitious set so far and I will gladly dig out one of my movie primes to display it.

    Ok I decided: once available the pre-order, I'll get another aps-01, it's the perfect match !

    1000X this. If they pulled it off, depending on its price, it'd be the first 3rd party piece I'd buy.

    I was thinking the same...

    Holy cats! That looks AWESOME! The original Jetfire/Optimus combination was all wrong from the standpoint of scale, but this looks better and more screen accurate.

    I've never done a pre-order for an unreleased item, but I might have to go for it.

    I love ROTF Prime/Jetfire combo but is this enough for me to sell my ROTF Jetfire?

    All depends on the price for me. It is a lovely set though.
