    Eva/Mecha whatever Jetfire is he looks BADASS as a Legends toy. He may be a SMALL figure I'd buy, and I normally get the Deluxe toys.

    Jetfire reminds me of Metal Gear Rex. Not a bad thing. And I have to say, he looks pretty kickass... Shark teeth FTW.

    I know he's not but Jetfire's mask reminds me of the Fallen's faceplate. Kinda all Knight's of the realmish...

    True. I still want one of those though. I actually collect the ones that are most hated for some reason. The more hatred the better... odd

    Right....continuity...hmm...I'm not quite sure what this means but...we must be looking at different pics. I guess I'm still clinging to the the hope of some semblance to G1. My mistake, WHY USE THE SAME NAMES AS G1 CHARACTERS IN THE FIRST PLACE? that's the real question.

    Why complain about that now? They reuse names all the time whether they match to G1 or not. They did it in Armada, Animated, Universe...

    I mean, Jetfire in Armada was never a jet, Inferno the manical flame-throwing fire ant wasn't anything like Inferno the noble fire-dousing fire truck, and don't get me started on the name reuse in the first Universe line...

    Even if some bots are similar to other TF incarnations in name only, I'd rather see stories with an Optimus Prime and a 'Jetfire' than Optimus Prime and a 'Mr Snuffotron'.

    It happens quite alot that names are reused for characters in newer incarnations of TF, but because some people still seem to think the movie continuity is based entirely on G1 (or they think it should be), recycled names for new robots suddenly seems to be a bad thing.

    Yeah, it's not the Jetfire we have known, but let's wait until the movie and see what he does before we make our judgement on the character kthxbai.

    Jetfire is an instant buy. I cant believe how badass that looks, even for a legend!!
    I eagerly await the voyager version, its more than likely gonna be the coolest thing ever

    Thats crazy talk, it's ALWAYS more than just a name. So if megatron and primes names were switched in the first movie this would have been okay? It's just a name right? Not so much. How about switching all autobot with decepticon names and vice versa. Why is this not done? Some folks might just love this idea, and I'm sure some would not give a care. My bet is most would not be very fond of the idea. In my opinion it doesnt make sense to create very different characters and then throw an old name on it, no matter what the continuity is and how often it has been done in the past. This movie clings to earlier incarnations of transformers characters, appearances, and names. I wish now that it didn't.

    I want to know what movie you watched, because I'm sure the build up towards it must have had no complaining from the fans.

    If you want to believe that there was no complaining about the portrayal or design of the movie characters, you go ahead and keep telling yourself that. I'm not trashing the movie, I thought it was a high quality film. I'm just not a fan of the designs, nor reusing names on characters that are reasonably too far off from their predecessors. I think this led to expectations from fans that caused some dissapointment with the movie. I dont think I'm alone in this thinking either.

    maybe to fans who are fools, because anyone who thought that the movie was going to copy G1 perfectly is simply an idiot tbh sorry. i cant see how people get ticked off so much over and over, i dont look at the movies as being live action remakes of any generation, they are simply what any other version is.. ANOTHER VERSION just because its live action and not a cartoon its jsut another take on the idea and like animated its just another design. i for one kinda like the whole starscream bird thing, all the old plane bots and cars all followed similar designs so why shouldn planes or cars have similar traits in this imagining, jetfire looks alreeet to me, the head does kinda nag at me a bit because he cant look around, unless his whole body rotated around which i reckon would actually pretty cool..

    Yep, a bunch of fools getting ticked off over and over. Never said I wanted it to copy G1 exactly, pay attention. I have right to give my opinion without being insulted. I could also say that anyone who likes the whole starscream bird thing is an idiot too. Youre right though this definitely is another version. I just happen to think many of the characters in this version look like heaps of scrap metal.
