    That's pretty much what forth party means. I believe ShowZ uses that terminology.

    That’s the third time someone has mentioned Show Z to me on a different board. Weird.

    Well, I caved and decided to give Megatron a shot. Have to admit, he's much better than I thought he'd be. The cloth cape really works wonders.

    Even though the transformation is rather simple and panel ridden, I'm actually impressed how they managed to get that long truck into such a bulky bot mode. Also, they actually managed to get all the wheels in the right places. Credit where credit is due.

    Looking great!
    Is the hip articulation really as bad as people say it is?

    given how much Megatron let himself go in this iteration, are we sure this isn't just patented extra Studio Series accuracy?

    He won't. The new Optimus has a bunch of addition tabs and slots that allow the combination. Jetfire has nowhere to attach to with the original figure.

    Thank you. Really just wanted to know if that was an option.

    I am getting Jetfire for sure. But now I will just keep Jetfire as Jetfire in bot/jet mode. He looks amazing in Chefatron's youtube review.

    I don't need to tear a cool looking robot apart and attach him to an Optimus. Will be passing on the second SS Optimus for sure.

    So, I’m totally loving these two. Detaching jetfires legs for combined mode terrified me the first time but that combined mode looks stunning!

    So I picked up Jetfire and I gotta say, I'm glad I never picked up the first one.
    I think the only thing that bothers me about him is his eyes.
    I just can't not see 4 eyes with that black piece in the middle of the red.
    Like what kind of expression are his eyes making?
    Just looks weird to me.

    Looks so much more cohesive that the original version.
