    It's Jetfire. The lighting does make it look like there's some blue on it though!

    Awesome pics! Can't wait to have all the Wreckers together.

    Thank you! And I totally agree. He's so avian and interesting. His design makes so much more sense than most other starscream designs. I'm glad everyone seems to like my night shots too! They don't get nearly as much attention on instagram.
    They said not including the random background cons, which makes it a shorter list.

    Where’d you read about the issue, and what causes it? I didn’t know it was a problem till you posted this. My Jetfire has been in storage for about a year but prior to that I never noticed any issues.

    I actually kept that in mind and deleted quite a few stuff from the list before posting. :eek:  Like, I know guys like Devcon and Junkheap are literal background characters, but they got distinct robot and alt modes and clear concept art floating around, and "Deep Desert Brawl" already has a mold ready to go. I don't think they are completely out of the question.

    Going hunting for Leadfoot! Wish me luck! If not a ROTF Soundwave would be good.

    Right here: Studio Series #35 Jetfire (& Jetpower Optimus Prime)

    The first mention is on page 11 but it continues on the following pages. It seems to be a case of weak plastic; some are broken out of the box while others take longer or just don't at all. Mine did after just a few transformations.

    I was surprised to even find Roadbuster. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him in stores.

    Awesome! Gosh, I hope I can find Leadfoot. Hopefully I can go looking for him later this week.
    Whoa, is this a problem on Rampage too? That really sucks, I'm sorry.

    His arm is a bit tricky to transform. You have to rotate the smaller black tread piece that's connected to the dark gray / yellow 2 pronged claw piece. Then you can do the rotation of the larger black tread piece.

    Edit with pics:
    The tread top half will not rotate due to a locking tab.

    Move this smaller piece up first. The locking tab is circled.
    sj2.jpg

    Move the other yellow pieces out of the way. Now the tread half can rotate.
