I'd be shocked if he was smaller!

Jetfire Leader
Silverbolt Ultra

Sizes may have shrunk but not that much

 

Wrong thread. This is for Jetfire.  

 

anyone knows the different between the hasbro and the takara's ones ?

 

Takara has some more paint and no chrome.

 

Chest paint stripes extend farther, some small black paint apps on the shins/knee area, and red stripes along the edge above his foot. Red plastic weapons/thrusters instead of chrome.

 

many thanks guys..

decided to get the takara's ones..

 

@Ricky and Rockdown.

Guys! Thanks so much for those comparison pics (and to Cheebs for the brightening  ). I was also actually curious about how he stood next to the ultras. Looks perfect! That was my only qualm about Classics Jetfire.

Really hope that one day Astrotrain will also be revisited an get a larger figure too.

 

Leader AstroTrain would be incredible in this size..but I would hope he would still be a Steam Locomotive in a way.

If you’re familiar with the Classics toy, this guy seems to be specifically designed to one-up it. There’s just too many little things that seem to be arbitrary, unless you take that into account.

From the hips and lower body in general, to tolerances and where stuff tabs in during transformation and even to how the arms are inverted into the body rather than left hanging in vehicle mode, Leader Jetfire feels very much like the designer is specifically targeting all the pet peeves of the Classics Voyager version.

 

man, what happened to you, man? you used to be all about supah cleah. ITS LIKE FLUFFY POTATO NEVER EXISTED, MAN.

 

edit: oops, i just realized that isnt even your own pic, rather an edit of someone elses. MY BAD.

nuthin to see here, just a buncha group pics:

 

whoa, the original jetfire was huge!

 

Yeah, I don't know... Something's off there. I had a G1 Jetfire as a kid and he WAS huge... But not THAT huge.

??

 

Nope, he's just that big. Here's another side-by-side shot:

 

^^^Yeah, I have one sitting on my desk here at work. He is about the same size as MP-10.

 

Aaahhhhh...G1 Jetfire....

When I think of kick ass 80's toys...THAT'S one that pops in my head

 

No shit! Well that's just bananas! Usually as we grow bigger the toys we had as kids we thought were ginormous, but they weren't after all... I guess this is a strange case of the opposite for me! I remember him being big, but not that big! Assuming LC Jetfire is at least as big as the current movie leaders? I don't have MP-10 to compare to.

 

he's ultra sized^ same as the aoe leaders

 

i was surprised too between JF, whirl and RB, they were all consistently smaller (slightly) than their old version. i think its just the modern practice of keeping toys to a compact size for packaging and display purposes. keep in mind that these are all packaged in robot mode, whereas the old version came in in their alt mode.

 

Well, he's not. There's been numerous photos of him with Ultra Class Silverbolt, and he's not only taller, but has more kibble and bulk.

 

Yeah, Rockdowns post#373 shows he's clearly bigger.
