    Yeah, it looks pretty good, but I'd be a whole lot more impressed if it actually transformed into something worth a damn.

    Exactly. It's a real shame. Were TakTom left out of the loop about the new Voyager prime when they developed this? It's like they're reduced to being one of those third-party fan-companies.

    The Fallen is a lot bigger than Prime, but quite a bit smaller than JetPrime.

    It would be impossible to do this as a toy, but Jetfire's parts bulk up Prime's central body CONSIDERABLY. You can tell because his arms stay about the same size...oh, and because he's manhandling both Megatron and the Fallen, who are usually ten feet taller than him.

    I do understand why they are using the older Prime mold. That huge backpack gives the parts some decent support. It's probably very back-heavy, but there's likely no way around that. I'll also give them points for cleverness for integrating the blade into a toy that lacked it.

    What pricepoint is this guy anyway? He's definitely a Voyager + more. Selling him alongside a Voyager Megatron repaint is slightly odd.

    This is how the voyager prime should have been painted in the first place. The combined mode is just sexy. Dang-looks like They just got me to buy the voyager prime mold for the fourth time!

    This OP and jetfire look GOOD like this but I have to wonder HOW much it would be though. I wouldn't mind getting this cause I still haven't even transformed my jetfire and Optimus into the large mode yet and I have had them for quit some time.

    If I buy this, I'd keep it in the JetPrime mode...FOREVER. Meh, It's going to be Rs. 48000/- or something here in Sri Lanka. That's like US$ 450/- (Same price as the Movie Devastator) :cry 
    So Unfair... Kids/Teens/Adults have to pay Shipping charges, Import Tax, Electronics Tax and various other Taxes just to buy a toy. :banghead:

    The left overs of Jetfire's body really do improve Voyager Movie Optimus. Tobad Forrest Battle Optimus Prime won't be able to use this addon.

    I really hope the New Voyager Prime seen in toyfare will work with this Jetfire.

    And if it doesn't Im gonna bash it till it does!

    I'm torn, this looks really cool but I already have mkI voyager Prime and I don't want another. I do however want the mkII voyager Prime, if either those were packaged together or the jetfire suit is sold seperately it'd be an instabuy. :D 

    Can't belive they went ahead with this when another guy in the same office was working on the new voyager prime, don't they tak to each other!

    Given the repainted voayger megs I wonder if hasbro will release an epic 3 way final battle pack featuring this, shiny megs and another voyager fallen.
