We have received in package images of the first set of four Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Legends class toys. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee represent the returning cast with all new molds. Representing the new additions to the cast are Decepticon Jetfire[/b] – yes, you heard it confirmed here first, Jetfire in Revenge of the Fallen will indeed be a Decepticon! We are also pleased to reveal that the Autobots will be gaining some air support in the shape of the one and only Autobot Springer!

Returning rudeness when it is called for does not make one a jerk: rudeness was called for. I subscribe to a classical-Greek notion of morality, not a "turn the other cheek" view.
Back on topic, I really dig the new images of the Jetfire legends toy–his face is much clearer in those shots. I'm still not quite shaken from that hypothesis i entertained and everyone scoffed at the other day.

EWWW I hate TF legends class. I can imagine that Jetfire was wayy suppose to be a voyegeur.

Are any Ospreys actually painted green in real life?
Now you're sounding like a jerk.

As someone here already said, though, in some sense Springer *is* a triple changer if he's an Osprey, since the Osprey design is both a propeller-plane and a helicopter.
Wheeljack_Prime
Triple changers aren't coming until TF3.
Angelic Knight
Indeed. Definitely not gonna count on it. Would still be darn nice though.

i doubt sptinger will be a triple-changer – they don't necessarily retain a G1 namesakes gimmicks for the movie.
just think of how many movie characters are completely different to their namesakes in G1.
Optimus Prime is a long nosed truck with flames.
Ironhide is a black truck
Ratchet is a neon-green rescue vehicle.
Jazz is silver
Bumblebee is a racing car

I usually shadow here, but might as well finally get to posting.
Only echoing what's already been said, but the pics look interesting.
Curious, however — I wonder if there's any chance of Springer, if he even appears in the movie, being an actual triple-changer? Looks unlikely judging by the figure. And of course, if they were to introduce the Wreckers (also unlikely), that would add some pure win.

The only one I don't really care for is Jetfire. I mean, come on, man. Bay did the same thing to Jetfire that Roland Emmerich did to Godzilla. Made him look like a heroine junkie.

Hmm. Interesting. I think you're on to something, and I hope you're correct.

does anyone have the pic of the prototype of what we now to be Springer?
Apriorion
I get it, and I got it the first time 'round as well. Seems you didn't understand how rude you were being. Man, you are really condescending.
edit: I have never put an under-50 post newbie on ignore before. It feels good.

I wasn't specically talking about you. (A trend with the fandom, not a trend with YOU, get it?) It seems every thread with a new character or toy gets gets at least a few guesses of The Fallen or Soundwave. (The only exception being a toy pictured with Soundwave. Then, of course, it just had to be Laserbeak. Because he's with Soundwave…)
And often nothing more to support the guess than "We can't really get a good look at that figure's face (it's too dark & there's a bit too much reflection on the packaging), but I wonder if maybe his face looks like the face on the packaging." as 'evidence.'
Apriorion
Ok, y'all win. Those conjectures were speculative, anyway. It's not as though I placed bets or anything. I guess we will find out soon enough. But Crombiecon, my arguments aren't that silly–you pulled a straw man with those comparisons.

We already had confirmation from IDW that the titular Fallen is based upon the Fallen created by Simon Furman for the Dreamwave comics.
This information was yanked after Michael Bay and Paramount were made aware of the interviews.
Crombiecron
Maybe Bumblebee is the fallen because he is yellow and thats the colour of fire.. or maybe ratchet is the fallen because in the first film he fell over in sams garden, or maybe its ironhide because he got knocked down by an exploding furby truck..
from what i read of your arguments which is just "stretches and rumours" all of these theories are just as plausible, not hating on you or nothing just saying that it seems as every character comes out people are like maybe he is the fallen omg!!
Rattrap Primal
I hope Springer gets a better, larger mold, and maybe a couple more Wreckers appear. Maybe in the movie Springer's line would be like this
" The Fallen eh? Never did want to live forever"
" I have better things to do tonight then die.:
Wheeljack_Prime
You know, on second glance, I'm not sure that Springer will necessarily be a repaint of incinerator. The hands of incinerator have three blade rotors, and the Springer legend has 4 blade rotors. Not exactly a change that as to be made to make the legends figure simpler.
Just saying it's possible.
Bgrngod
Well, damn that's pretty darn blatant. If they aren't intentionally designed to combine, I am sure we can all figure out a way to make it work anyways.
Jetfire's alt-mode, does indeed look like crap. Unless that image is mistransformed….
Optimus Prime
Interesting…this adds even more credibility to the Optimus/Jetfire combining rumor. Plus, Legends that can combine would be pretty cool. I wonder if they'll do a Legends Devastator like that old Universe one.
