    Looks...interesting, and extremely kibble-tastic. Though I'm going to wait to see larger and better pictures of it before forming a full opinion just yet. This helps explain the kibbleness of Leader Jetfire (along with the electronics, and thin alt-mode). I was hoping their combined form would have a cool name, but oh well. I'll just have to come up with something on my own. It also looks as though it's misstransformed to a certain degree, so it should look at least a little better once properly formed, and posed. It'll be interesting to see if Jetfire gets a Voyager class figure, and if they're able to also, somehow, include a combining feature with Voyager Prime (extremely doubtful, but I wouldn't rule it out completely yet). On a side note, Devs is looking better the more I see him. There's a good chance I'll be getting both him and all the individual CC's.

    Please be a toy-only feature.

    I do not see how this could be pulled off in the film without looking terrible.

    The keychain is going to have the movie model of the combined mode. I doubt the toy will look exactly like it.

    Wow, fail in my book. Maybe when it's transformed right. Meantime, the BB arm blaster is the standout of the bigger pic. My son will quite enjoy the BB helmet and blaster.

    I like it. Need bigger and better pics, but from what I can see it looks cool IMO.

    Well, uh...I'd be lying if I said that looked like the most elaborate and exciting combination of all time, but I'm hoping that it's either mistransformed or there are some details to it that we can't see in the small picture. If not, then I guess it's some consolation that Leaders Prime and Jetfire both look to be good toys on their own; I'll probably do the combination once for fun and leave it at that. Still, I'd like to see more before I make my mind up...

    Looks like Prime keeps his original head in combined mode then? Tho' it's hard to see if there's anything else there with such a small picture.

    Could the horizontal 'shoulder pads' be another set of wings? Giving Prime 4 in total?

    Whatever it turns out to be tho', i'm sure it'll look good on screen.

    Looking forward to larger pics (with better transformation hopefully). Still, so far I can dig it.

    Though "Power Up Optimus Prime" (a name I'm assuming is solely for the box and not the film) seems, well lazy and lame.

    It just just horrible I really don't like how this thing looks. It has to much kibble the added gun looks horrible just the how thing is bad! I hope that this is mis-transformed because it looks horrible.

    If it's that horrible then you don't have to combine them.

    That can best be summed up as "Oh". I think our expectations may have gotten away with us on this one, though. I shall be buying Leader Optimus Prime and Leader Jetfire and I shall transform them into the awfully-named "Power Up" form. But only once or twice unless it looks a hell of a lot better when it's in my bedroom and study. Devastator has always been a buy! Coolness in the extreme.

    This and it reminds me of Hearts of Steel, but not in a good way.

    Reminds me of the energon combiners. I'm sure they're hard to pull off as a toy.

    After seeing Prime get whopped on so much in the trailers... I bet this combined mode will be some sort of 'rebirth and beat everyone up' sort of thing.
