TF08.net has shared some new images of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire with us by way of 2005 Boards member S250. These new in-hand images show off the robot mode and the jet mode, giving a nice idea of the sheer scale of Jetfire’s jet mode. Also on show is the combined mode with Leader Class Optimus Prime, “Power Up Optimus Prime”, and a scan of the instructions showing how it is formed. Check out all the images by clicking on the title of this story, and then click on discuss to talk about them on our 2005 Boards.

Oh, thanks. I get it now.

Skunkworks is the Advanced Development Project for Lockheed-Martin. LM is the SR-71 Manufacturer.
Scythe
Thanks, but what is that?

The more and more I look at the pictures, the more and more I have to have him. He is so, so, so bought.
The combined mode still looks wonky, no doubt.
After seeing the keychain (which was probably taken directly from a render, and we all know that translating to plastic isn't as easy as we thought…) and the toy itself, I can see it's definitely nowhere close to perfect.
I might skip the combined mode altogether, but Jetfire on his own is pure win.

Note that the Deceptican symbol is scratched. It's all 2+2 from there.

yeah it really looks like those nosecone pieces are supposed to fold down over his shoulders or something..

Kyle Chow
Very good point.

A little comparison…
omnitrix
why do he have decepticon sign on the toy
and autobot on the box?
HybridMaximus

I like the the both Jetfire and Optimus separate and the combined mode is a bonus since it gives Prime an extra carazy weapon when you think about it. I know that when their seen on film those on the fence will be sold just because of the memory of what is on screen.
I'm one of those waiting for the Premium Editions to come out. I must exert patience. I want all three leaders. Hearing rumors of Leader Starscream is a blessing and a curse. The hope is that we'll get a reall neat Starscream, but the downside is the addition $45.00 he'll cost. I'm already thinking about scaling back on figures like Skids and Mudflap, I'm to the point of waiting for them to go on clearance.
Must haves
Leader Class
Optimus Prime
Megatron
Jet Fire
Voyager Class:
Long Haul
Starscream
Deluxe class:
Soundwave
Sideswipe
Sideways
Fort Max
My thoughts exactly, I think I'll wait and see what the future brings regarding sales, repaints or a posisble voyager version.

im back on that fence again lol! these pics have made me want to get him but imo that combined mode sucks and the head sculpt isnt exactly accurate. i think ill have to have a big think about this guy

Tekfreak

And supposedly, the Blackbird in the Smithsonian is Jetfire..I mean, they filmed him in there, right? Yay for accuracy!

To expand on that a bit, Blackbirds #955 and 972 are the best-known for having that logo on their tails (though others did as well). 972 is the one in the Smithsonian, and wears it to this day.
