    Mine is on the way but I'm going to have to do something about the brown. I'm either going to paint it silver or black.

    Well, first transformation and I lost one of the tips of his shoulder cannons. =(

    Then this review has done its job, I know that he was probably the Universe figure that everyone was least likely to buy but I loved the images we saw, so I bought one :) 

    That's how I have him. I also display him in "kickback" mode but when I finally get Skyfire I'll put the wings up

    I wouldn't; It looks awesome as it is.

    That kept on happening to me. Because when I folded down the shoulder cannons I forgot to pull pack the black slides on the backpack

    Hmmm...well, that kinda sucks. I was hoping they'd actually be a nice shade of red. Depending on wether or not some clear-gray paint works on it, I might have to, yet again, change my plans for my custom character kitbash.

    Eh? You know the review threads here aren't owned by the thread starter, they are communal. People wanting their own personal thread is why the moderators are always having to merge the duplicates.

    the brown just kills me and the figure. If the Brown was black and the black blue (aside from the head) he'd look 1000x more cohesive.

    Not really, I'm waiting as I already got the mold.

    Not big on the brown, if I bought this, I'd probably repaint the brown parts black or something.

    Wait...he's an autobot? Man! Now I think I'm going to have to get him. My Autobots need more air support. I'll just have him keep his helmet on (my JF normally stays in Skyfire mode) and keeping his wings down looks awesome in those pics. I figure that should distinguish him enough to buy it.

    Got him Saturday night and I love him. The colors really look better in person, especially how metallic his battle helmet looks.

    For some reason in bot mode I like the look of his backpack armor when it's flipped around (thrusters up top, behind his head)

    Just a really cool looking toy.

    Plus between him and Skyfire I can get 2 planes in Gerwalk mode when I'm feeling the need for some Robotech VF's on my shelf. Can't pass up a VF copy for 19.99

    Very cool toy.

    I agree with Malikon, much better in person. The quality on mine is perfect and he compliments my Jetfire very well.

    Same damn thing happened with me.
    i still haven't found that cannon tip yet.
    so what are yer options if ya can't find it?

    i think i will take the booster off until i can go all CSI on this room.

    i like the Blue Angels look of this figure.
    I just wanted the mold (less expensive than tracking down Classics Jetfire) and i am liking it.

    i have an odd mix of tight (almost extreme) and loose as hell joints/hinges. still, it's a decent mold and a keeper.

    thanks, fellas
