Excellent review. I'm glad you confirmed the existence of a waist joint. This is definitely the most impressive mainline toy I've seen in quite sometime.
Time to look at the cold, hard facts about Siege Commander Class Jetfire and compare him to the Generations leader version to see how well this new (and big) guy matches up!
The Transformers toy makers have never really seemed to know what to do with Jetfire. One of the only G1 toys to be ported over from Robotech, and spend all his subsequent years in legal limbo. They just keep making figures that look nothing like the G1 toy, nor anything like the G1 animation model. Can the Siege line finally do him some justice? Join Death in a full examination of the Autobot 'scientist' who has more guns on him than scanners!
Not only do I get to compare the Generations Jetfire figures, but you can win them as part of my Extra Life fundraising campaign!
