Toy Fair 2014 is over, but we still have a little more for ya. At the show we try to get the pics up to you as quick as possible so we can talk about the stuff in real time. That means we don’t get to mull through our photos and pick out the best, give them a little extra processing love. So, today we present Toy Fair 2014 Redux – Transformers Edition. Attached to this story you will find some of the best shots we took. There is no rhyme or reason, and this post doesn’t fully cover all the important things seen at Toy Fair. Just a selection of good photos based on how the shot came out (for the most part). Read on to check the pics. Enjoy!

Theo only thing with roadbuster is those wheels they seem so off. They could've made those wheels transform as part of the arm and legs rather than looking like they were just slapped on. And the legs seem too small for his frame. But i'm still getting him! LOL.

Right on about Jetfire but I love Roadbuster. Definitely one to keep and eye out for.

And if i remember correctly from the toy leak months ago that they're releasing a leader class Megatron too! I'm picking that one up when it comes out.

I still like the jetfire. Too bad he's not coming out til fall!

PM sent, KFD.

LOL! Can I see that?

You up in #72, amigo. Just thought you might like to know you're being quoted beyond TFW… in fact, I've actually thought your quote would make a good signature-line.
Kungfu Dinobot
The fuck?
Diamondback
Hey, Kungfu, I had to quote you on a politics board… then I added my own riff too.
Kungfu Dinobot
Care to prove me wrong?

As I see it, Generations Jetfire does not have a 'fake' chest. It is composed entirely out of the air intakes and a window on the underside of the plane (be it auxiliary cockpit, bomb sight, recon camera port, or what have you) that, and I can't seem to stress it enough, looks nothing like the top canopy of the jet mode.
I imagine one could say Jetfire is "supposed" to have the jet canopy on the chest, much like he's "supposed" to be either a Harmony Gold lawsuit or a flying cardboard box fort. Whatever guys – I'mma buy it.

Offended?
Really?
Well more for me then I guess……..
Kungfu Dinobot
Being offended gives them a sense of moral superiority.
It does not matter what they're actually offended about.
Mechafire
Are people really still complaining about the fake chest?
Hey, FE Voyager OP, MP-01, and MP-10 all have fake parts as well. They're total shit figures then, right? Better just throw em in the trash.

I don't understand why so many people have a fit about "cheating".. If both modes look cool, then why does it matter if the robot chest didn't come from parts of the actual car or jet or whatever? There's been "cheating" going on as far back as Powermaster Optimus Prime, and I thought he was an awesome toy back in the day.
In fact, since it was "cheating", I wish they had given Nightbeat a new "fake chest" that looks more "Nightbeat-y", but alas, he still looks cool.
LegendAntihero
Skybyte looks almost perfect in Beast Mode and I dig leader class Jetfire's headsculpt
Infosaur
Looks again. *squint*
Damn man, why'd you have to ruin it for me?
I understand they have to/want to simplify things for younger kids and that things kinda apexed with Binaltech/Alts.
But yeah this panel cheating is probably right up there with kibble and shell formers for lame.
I can understand certain limitations. Nightbeat, Windcharger, Gears, Brawn, and quite a few more early TF's had chests that were unrelated to their vehicle form. They didn't try to sculpt headlights and windows into them. There was some DOTM or ROTF toy I was really digging, until I realized that his chest deco was basically the front end of his vehicle mode, even though that was part of his legs.
(EDIT: the bot in question is Movie Firetrap, I'd forgotten why I wanted him, he makes a good modern Brawn)
Cheating's really gotten more flagrant since then and I disapprove. (Prime Smokescreen, Movie Primes, etc.) If you want to make it simpler, look at Animated Jazz, or Cybertron Downshift simple but no cheating.
