    Gotta say... I'm not feeling this. Maybe the final product will change my mind. The biggest problem I have is that they didn't give him his height boost. The Jetfire feet should be like stilts but here they are just shells that cover his original feet. The details are also lacking.

    They went with the Prime1 Studio look (note also The Fallen's staff), instead of the concept art.
    I think the thrusters are too big and so the rest looks too small.
    Also I really don't like how low hangs the left arm cannon.

    Looks ridiculous without the hight extension. Doubt I’ll waist money on it without him gaining any height.

    Based on P1S, I think the design is pretty spot on and quite accurate on the foot except the back design. And I don't see if anyone complain on P1S renders.

    Except look at how small prime is inside there. The legs are proportionally way longer than on the new kit, because he’s actually gotten a height increase rather than just normal prime standing inside of shoes.


    The normal MPM prime got a better kit than this guy :(

    We have a different taste :D 

    Jet Armored OP should be bulky, like the one on P1S The old kit looks elongated and lack the bulkiness feel to it. Anyway holding my PO until we see the nfinal outcome

    That chunkiness is good, though only the heels, if they can just make height more appealing to the the concept art images - 2021-03-01T111847.932.jpeg

    Yeah agreed. I think the bulk works to the figure's disadvantage here because BA Prime is already a bit too bulky in the torso and so his head is completely getting lost in all the stuff. And the height thing for sure, I was surprised when I saw the comparison to LT02.
    Yeah agreed. Ah well, I probably wasn't going to get another kit for this figure anyways. I've already spent a lot of upgrades!

    No idea what ya'll are on about. I get PREFERRING the height boost from the concept art, but this one is more objectively more accurate in every way to what we saw on screen. Which is the entire point of this prime figure to begin with.

    It’s not a preference, he gained height in the movie.

    I mean he clearly didn't, the prime1 statues are direct translations of the CG model, and there's a side by side further up the thread showing that this kit is based on it. If he did get taller in the film, sounds like some CG shenanigans.

    Edit: ok looking again, it does appear that the in film armor was bigger in relation to prime than this set, lending him a bit of a height increase, but nothing close to the concept version of this design.

    The kit gives a little height boost: look close and you can see that Prime feet are not completely transformed and while the sole is horizontal and touching the ground, the top half is almost vertical.

    I also think that they should include a Jetpower head, considering that not only the default head is too little for the base bot, but that in combined mode it should have additional details (like the chin spike)

    This seems to be a $150-200 kit :) 
    Imagining the bigger leafage head on this one, it will be much better and so close to the P1S'!
    So I hope they can also make a bigger head for this kit. The sculpt and height look good to me, as looking close to the feet, he does appear to be few cm higher.

    The designer responded to the comment on the foot design. In summary, he took a long time to adjust the design without sacrificing accuracy, stability and pose-ability. Even though many don't mind on removing parts, but to avoid the possibility of damaging the figure, the idea of removing parts has been scrapped. Picture 1 is after putting on the kit while Picture 2 shows that before adding the kit, the foot has placed slightly backward to slightly increase the height

    Huh, so height is added. Couple cm, but still at least some was added and enough to make em look like a threat next to OS megatrons. May get this after all. Just wondering how expensive it’s going to be....

    This is such an interesting combo, just because there are so many versions of this duo and helping to bump BA Prime ;) . But we have Iron Warrior, BMB/Aoyi, and whoever else may join the fray, aside from the statues and other non transformables. I'm hoping and holding out for 3a/0 addition.
