    Don't think so because the ROTF OP mold & this Jetwing mold is slightly different.

    All I want to know is that will this be compatible with the Jetwings Prime Backpack cause I really think Takara is just yanking our chains if they don't make it so.

    The jetwing prime is compatible with the buster version of the leader prime mold. This is NOT that mold. You can tell by the fuel tanks

    I really want this but I am not sure if I will pull the trigger on it. I wish it had a Buster paint job in which case I would have already ordered it.

    I'm sick for 4 days and BBTS sells out of it yesterday! Darn.

    I hope they get more in beyond the pre-orders, but whichever store is selling Prime WITH the swords will be the one to get my cash. None of this accessory price-gouging bullshit.

    I don't have Jetwing Optimus, but found some pics here. The Jetwing backpack attaches with a slot on Jetwing Optimus' back that Buster doesn't have. Jetwing Optimus also has recessed clips under the forearms to hold the BFGs. Question is, does Striker have these too? Is Striker a retool of Buster or further retooling of Jetwing Optimus?

    I think the issue with the different gas tanks is because Striker does not come with the Buster gas tank gun and Jetwing does.

    Thx

    I think Striker OP has this slot because it is the same mold as of the Jetwing OP.But Buster OP definitely does not has this "slot" that you are refering to.
