Some RoTF toys news - new combiner...

Staff edit: Optimus Prime to Combine with Jetfire in TF2 - Transformers News

This better not be a case of HE TELL ME.

There may be no peace for the wicked, but the righteous can damn well get a piece whenever they feel like it.

Google translation:

Assuming this is legit...

...Jetfire combining with Optimus is weird.

I do like the sound of being able to see inner gears and so forth moving when you transform a toy. Should be neato.

..

Sounds plausible...

Sounds plausible, but I'm not sure I like the idea JetFire Optimus. Armada was enough, but this kinda hits a whole new level of weird in the live action movie. I guess this gives us the armada nod in ROTF for the 25th annie, along with the already rumored pretenders as an old school reference too.

On a personal note though, I kinda wish Orci and Bay wouldn't listen to some fans about ideas. I was looking forward to this serious war unfolding. =/ This reeks of Fanboyisms now more than needed. Kinda takes the oomph and importance off of gestalts too. =/

Also helps suggest that scorponok reviving megs is even more likely, if Prime can merge, why can't megatron. I'm not sure I like the direction this may entail, and I was an avid movie 1 supporter. I guess I'll wait and see how it's handled first, but honestly this the first time I'm praying something is disinformation, or a toy only gimmick. Cause Bay, seriously, Prime combining does not more Prime make him. That was an EHHHH type idea even back then. The aww and shock only works for the first time it's done. =/

What's next? Energon Prime trailer in movie 3? Prime and Co become the protectobots? Why did we have to beg for power armor and trailers. >_<
Prime was fine as is. Let's not overcomplicate him with gimmicks and power ups. He's Prime, he leads and inspires troops. I guess Jetfire is better than seeing the RID power armor again though, or PowerMaster Trailer. I'm sorry as much as fans want to see it, powerups like this are just weird on the big screen in a realistic battle. Jetfire or the Apex sentient armor make more sense since they can join of their mind when needed, but even then that reduces troop amounts that could be needed. =/

I'm having a hard time seeing as how this one will really work in movie without seeming corny, or breaking believability. IE, why wasn't this an option in the first movie? Why does jetfire start out as a decepticon then? This story better cover some whys with what's going on, or eventually we're going to end up with one giant mass of transformers making a robot to fight unicron in planet size. This is just so WTF, I'm not sure I can wrap my head around it. This story better be good.

Optimus combines with Jetfire??!! NO!!! I am not a fan of combiners, and in the movie format where individuality is important, having one character lose his identity just for a gimmick is less than appealing.

I just hope we don't see Prime turning into a giant pair of pants, and that Jetfire doesn't turn into a shirt.

I wonder if the idea of Optimus and Jetfire toys combining is a spoiler for the film, or just a gimmick to add play value to the toys.

Scout toys, eh?

How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end

I welcome the addition of scouts back =D

Hope it translates to Universe soon too for various bots.

But I still can't wrap my head around the movie armada jet convoy crap. This is just so wtf, and wrong. Just wow. And I don't think I've said one bad thing about the movie yet. So just wow, wtf. Armada reference ftl. If it had to be done, couldn't they just write hot rod out and make him hot shot? Instead of making jet convoy appear?

TOTALLY UN , so not cool.
Come on man, stop trying to appease fanboys and go back to making this serious vision unfold.

PLEASE GOD be a toy only gimmick. I'm not buying another movie Prime. Unless it's epic win. They have to release photos now, or this may be a case of 'ruined forever' beyond repair. Please god, don't be in the movie. Please PRIMUS, don't let this gimmick sully the movie.
