    I hope we eventually see that Jetfire armor released in one way or another.

    Nooooooo!!!

    I hope this isn't true. That voyager powered up Optimus looked amazing and I definitely wanted to pick him up. I'm hoping it will still be released here.

    Well, this would suck - but if I get a Voyager Movie Prime it'll be the Battle Blades one coming later, and I already repainted my Voyager Megs the way I like him. They looked to be good, quality figures though, so I hope they make it out eventually.

    Sounds like they realize they've over-saturated the ROTF toy line.

    At least ROTF's "post-movie" lines haven't been as eyesore-ish as "Allspark Power".

    NOooooooooOOOooo!!! I wanted Megatron so bad!!! I hate the crappy green Megatron from Hasbro. I've been waiting for that release specifically to get this improved version of Megs. This better turn out to be just a rumour and nothing more......

    This. In fact, they've been really really good. I expected "post-movie" releases like Mindwipe, Bludgeon, etc to give Hasbro some momentum coming into the release of the next movie line figures.

    Well, you can color me surprised.

    While I didn't have any intention of picking up either figure, I did think they looked good and even was looking forward to some video reviews of them. Sucks for all you who had pre-orders.

    ya, i agree with RA88. it seems like a bit late to cancel. but, since we have finished product pictures, im guessing that means the mold is solid. and we should see it eventually down the line. hope so, that jetfire prime looked awesome.

    Damn. That silver Megs actually looked pretty good, too. I hope they use the new voyager mold for the OP figure.

    i think they want to make a separate jetfire that combines with the new prime mold.

    Really I don't care bout them. I really want Drift though, and Thrust and Dirge. And any more they decide to release.

    Why would Ricochet, a well respected member (and I believe was the first to note when Chrono Label and Device Label Blaster were cancelled) make a joke of this?

    It seems the preorder pages on HLJ.com have disappeared as well. More evidence they might very well be cancelled.
    Total bummer, The Jetpowered Prime set was one of the few Transformers items I was looking forward to this year.

    Edit: Whoops, seems they're still up. My bad.
