    Why is everyone so negative

    This is miles better than gigawatt, although the colours are a bit too bright, gigawatt had good potential and most of it was good, but the bot mode chest is a turn off, unless you mistransform it on purpose for a different look

    Keep in mind, they redecod ectotron, they may redeco this for xforce to have a black .. blackbird

    What? You're insisting that it's Cyclops' costume, but there are pretty clear differences. I'm sorry if you can't see them. Jim Lee Cyclops doesn't have X shaped belts on his chest, therefore it CANNOT be claimed that the design is the Jim Lee Cyclops

    This is an idea I would have drawn in a notebook in elementary school and I love it. Just unapologetically cheesy in a great way. Keep the collabs coming.

    Love the concept. Hate the name. In my headcanon, his name is “Blackbird”.

    I’m too old for that, but my brother would go nuts for a Pokémon x Beast Wars.

    Ehhh that looks fugly but that’s probably just me. I knew it would be a retool of Jetfire and be the Blackbird though.

    So you admit it's Cyclops's look in every other respect?

    Look, it's maybe 40-50% generic X-Men costume and at least 90% Cyclops' costume. Mathematically it's more Cyclops than not.

    I like it!

    A little busy, but in a very 90s X-men way. A bit Kibble-y but not out of the usual realm for modern toys.

    X-character touches to the design, Visor, Three claws, 90s colors and pouches. But it's not a lame big metal copy of anyone. It's just an X-man-y robot. Which is great.

    The name is "eh." We came up with better things than X-Spanse, but it's not awful.

    I'm in.

    -ZacWilliam, Leader Jetfire is a spectacular toy. I don't like movie designs and I was super impressed with it when I got it as a gift. If this follows suite, awesome.

    Seriously, nice effort but probably a pass from me. Love my X-Men and I like that the incorporate a bit of Scott and Logan into the design without making it Transformers Cyclops or Transformers Wolverine. And other than the claws and visor, if there was a generic X-Robot in the early 90s X-Men, this is what I'd expect it to look like.

    That said it just doesn't thrill me. Better by far than Maverick, but that's a lot of kibble in both modes and the bot just doesn't have any character.

    I mean, I don't hate it. I'm not repulsed by it, but it doesn't excite me like Gigawatt. I just look at it and think "Well, that's there."

    X-force colours would be cool

    Or even black and yellow

    Name sucks, robot mode looks alright except for two big problems: those elbows look god awful and I am not at all a fan of those panel "wings" behind the head, they just look distracting.

    This looks pretty great actually. I was half expecting it to be an ss jetfire but I never thought it would be this reworked. My only major gripe at this point is that the eyes are too big, and if Hasbro just made them a little more stern this would look so much better. In terms of how I\'d rate how it looks, I\'d put it on par with Ectotron just under Gigawatt, if not a little better than Ectotron.

    I agree. Judging by the feet, pouches and "give him all the powers mindset", this is more Liefeld than Lee.

    I knew it! I knew he'd be a Jetfire remold!

    Anyways, I love how this guy looks! I would love to get my hands on him, but it'll probably be like $100 Canadian, and I don't really think that's worth it for me right now

    Yep, you're right. It sure isn't EXACTLY Cyclops' uniform. It's just 98% his uniform missing one strap and the orientation of the X emblem. Sorry I misspoke so egregiously.

    What are you talking about? I can clearly see feet in the product photos.
