    Damn, I did expect it but had some hope it would be stable, like the ROTF leader combination and smaller BFG. Ah well.

    Benscollectibles has an English review of Jetfire up, if you’re interested.

    Man that’s weird. Could it work anyway with the previous studio prime? It looks like the same weird shade of red used on that figure.

    Ahh that’s shame. Can he prop it up like a staff at least just on its end?

    I don't know if it's just the lighting, but the second set of tabs above the bottom ones on the right piece are fully hollow and carved out for something to slot into, but on the original one on the left they look like simple sculpted indents. Is that just a trick of the lighting?

    I have a theory about the extra part, I think it’s for the upcoming rumoured DOTM release. I’ve thought for a while how easy it is for them to just swap that part out and put the abs there and it will make the dotm release compatible with Jetfire

    So I think it’s fair to assume DotM prime will be the new mold. Since it can combine with wings or a trailer. That’s an interesting theory. Could very much be a different part. Given how the dotm one also have different abs. That’d be a neat feature. Heck maybe then you could swap and give the jetfire prime the trailer wings. I do hope they make a DotM prime though. Since I will most likely buy that.

    Hey, thank you for uploading this! :) 

    Now.. is the dark metallic blue plastic, the new abb piece is molded in, from Jetfire's mold? Or is this an entirely new color of plastic?

    To justify my interest in this: could be possible that if not from Jetfire the plastic used is actually from the future DotM Optimus. It's very unlikely but I'd be happy to have confirmation that the plastic belongs to Jetfire and the red color to DotM Optimus

    Finally someone who's had the same idea! I'm almost 100% certain that you're right. Are you the same PrimeVsPrime from YouTube? If so it makes sense your intellect came up with this theory. Your YouTube videos do seem "brighter" than some of the competition.

    I can forgive hastak for not foreseeing the possibility for them to make a jetpower prime at the time of SS-05's release

    but now it seems likely they plan out the future of the line more thorough. Remember how we got Megatron and Optimus before Blitzwing and octane in the Titans Return line? I think this is something like that

    And I already like the paint on that abdomen piece. DotM prime will look amazing and not like a shining tomato (SS-32) :D 


    I have a question though...

    Is it possible to relieve that massive gun of weight? Like for example, can you rip Jetfire's arms off or something? The thing is awesome but kinda way too large.. ^^

    That is such a good figure!:rock 
    If you decide to open Megs please take a picture with SS Prime and the previous RotF Megatron for comparison.

    I think of third parties as companies that make all new molds (Like Unique Toys with Peru Kill and Challenger) while forth party companies make improved knock offs (Like Black Mamba and Nitrogen Ares).

    Nice. How tall is he when you extend his legs to less chicken style?
    I see. I’d like to check a proper definition of what a fourth party is. They’re still knockoffs from my viewpoint.

    see, in this video Megs legs look like garbage but they are straight, if they were angled like the RotF one they would look a lot better, a soft digitigrade stance might go a long way.

    still, my problem with this is that it's too massive, waay out of scale with any SS Prime...

    I think we may actually be OK in the scale department - he only looks to be a smidge taller than ROTF Megatron. Plus the new Prime is a decent amount taller than the first version

    uhm, maybe that bend in the legs could fix both scale and look after all!
