    The upgrade kit and additional paint add so much to the look of the figure! Really loving it! This limited edition comes with the figure and upgrade kit.

    Okay, I'm going to join the chorus. Where does one pick this damn thing up? I see three flavors of post:

    1) Awesome photos.
    2) "This looks great! Where do I get this?"
    3) "Oh man. I got one, but I don't know if it has an upgrade kit."

    C'mon, guys! Where is this thing being sold? Don't hold out on us! :rolleyes:

    I don't mean to start a fight but... um... scale-wise in bot-mode is this Jetfire right compared to Leader Prime?

    So this makes the base figure look better, but you have to parts form to transform? Am I seeing this right? Can someone please clarify?

    While I don't think there's ever been an official scale chart, most people seem to agree that Jetfire is bigger than Prime by quite a bit. I've seen at least one chart that suggests he's 50 feet tall, as opposed to Prime's 30+. That kind of makes sense to me. The point is, anything approaching scale accurate for some of the bigger movie TFs Jetfire will probably be a rarity if you're using Leader Prime/MP Prime as your baseline. You'd probably need something along the lines of the barely extant Supreme Class in order for it to scale right.

    Best bet if you're trying to scale is to keep your Op at Voyager class in order to compensate for the bigger Cons like Brawl, Blackout/Grindor and the Fallen.

    I agree. No way you can use that base figure and get a significant size increase. My custom would make him about Primes height, but even that is too small. Best we can hope for is a new mold or a OS KO

    As an aside, this is a problem I run into a lot. I do like scale accurate stuff, although I'm not a rabid scale hooligan. If you use Voyager as your baseline for Prime, you can easily find bigger bots in scale... but then you get problems as you get to the smaller characters. For example, Mudflap and Skids are supposed to be smaller than Bee... but the only step smaller than the deluxe scale figures are legends class guys which are dinky and there's about zero percent chance anyone's gonna make a Skids/Mudflap that scales right with a deluxe. However, they scale nice with MP Bee. That being said, now we have the previously mentioned issue of Brawl/Grindor/Blackout/The Fallen/etc. being too small.

    At the end of the day, I'd rather have a handful of too small characters as opposed to a large group of characters that are way out of whack scale wise, so I'e been using the MPM line as my base.

    Do you have a link, by chance? All it kept bringing up when I searched was the actual original figure.

    Supreme size would be incredible but I have no space for that. About the height of FT Phoenix would be nice.

    This is going for quite a bargain based on that link. Works out around the same as retail for the original ROTF mold.

    Just gotta figure out if I need it in my collection.
