    Sweetness. Maybe I'll finally invest in their stuff.

    I don't understand why no 3rd party is making power up prime or even a jet wing prime for HFTD Optimus. It is an awesome mold for it, and gives people something we don't technically already have.

    Bomb news here !!!! If projected and made like Primus wants, this could be one of the best selling 3rd party product of all time !!

    If the result will be visually near to this beast, I'll cry.....

    I already have both of those, so it really doesn't matter to me.

    Frankly I don't think jet fire even came close to capturing how great that looked in the movie. The combo is a weird cumbersome mess (even the fan transformation- which is an improvement over the official version)

    I have seen a couple customs where jet fire was hacked to pieces that seemed pretty good.

    If they actually get this right (which is far from certain), this would be very interesting. I'd probably get it.

    This is relevant to my interests.

    If this add-on is as big as that, the cost will probably be pretty ridiculous.

    Which one are you going to get? :) 

    This looks interesting, and I have the Ironhide cannons so I can say that the quality on those is quite good. If FWI can keep the quality up, then this newest set may be worth getting.

    Hopefully this fits all versions of the leader optimus mold. I liked their Ironhide add ons, but the instructions were a bit lacking.

    Nice idea, I would rather some one went the whole way and made a parts forming jetfire that become the jetpack and weapons etc but unless they went with a smaller prime the cost would be insane.

    I also, would prefer to this for the HFTD Voyager Prime but would LOVE a good Jetfire-pack Prime accessory kit period that doesn't look like Jetfire's corpse stuck to his back!

    Looking forward to updates!

    There is that. :( 

    I have to agree that if they actually intend to do this right (which is the only way I'd bother with it- I already have has/tak's half assed power up)- it might have been smarter to work with a good voyager Prime.

    The real shame of all of this is that so far the only GOOD power up Prime that's been produced is that little keychain one.

    But, if they get this right, I'll think very hard about purchasing it (even if it is pricey).

    The really sad thing is this made me want to dig out my Prime/Jetfire combo- until I dug out some pictures to remind me...

    Last time I built it, I threw it in the closet shortly after. I would have had to make space for it to display and the result just wasn't worth it.

    This is a nice idea. :) 

    However if they somehow make replacement arms for the ROTF Leader Megatron that would be a god send.

    Awesome, and ambitious, I hope it works out well.

    Maybe because HFTD voyager scales with the better decepticon figures and has buster guns and a matrix.

    Color me interested. The combo with the Jetfire figure has grown stale to me.
