Did anyone notice that one reason for the neck or cockpit area on the SR-71 being too long is form the wheel that the alt mode has.
My nerd-rage over this stupid combining idea is great and powerful and burns with the intensity of a thousand suns, and my disappointment in the movie will be embarrassingly vocal if it happens in the theater. Armada's fail!Jetfire is not something that needs a homage in live action form, IMO. :| Prime clinging to Jetfire's hull for dear life in battle and/or flying up on him to fight the Fallen? Now THAT would be awesome.
I'm sure on the larger toys, I'm sure Jetfire's just gonna break apart to form battle armor for Prime. I guess this is all they could do considering the scale of the Legends firgures. The only Legends figure that ever caught my eye was Scorponok from the first movie. Unless they can make a Legends figure for my taste, then I won't be getting any of them. I'm the type who gets all the movie characters (in respective sizes) then possibly a few that look nice. Quality > Quantity.
Yeah b/c if you think about it that combination would not even come close to working in full scale, prime is like the size of 1 wing of an SR-71 that would just look stupid
This just looks like the owner of these toys disassembled Prime's arms and replaced them with Jetfire's. Basically a fan-mode combination and not indicative of an actual film based joining of these two.
You know, if you sit, very, very carefully on that part of Jetfire that sticks up, it'll give you a cheap thrill.
Interesting, because in the film, presumably the vehicles will be in scale, and they don't mass shift in the Bay films. So I can't see how the combination would work in the film, unless Jetfire origamis into himself big time. Similarly, the toy versions of these characters won't reflect scale so accurately, otherwise Jetfire would be USS Flagg sized. So either the transformation/combination will be different to the film or it just isn't happening in the film in the context people are anticipating. Perhaps this is just a combing gimmick this line of toys has, perhaps as I saw mentioned previously they can all combine with one-another, micromaster combiner stylee?
Seeing as how they couldn't even transform Prime right I'm thinking there might be something more to it than this.
I don't know what to think of this i am going to wait till we get CGI designs from the movie or if we see larger toy size class combined till I make up my mind if I like it.
this image makes the "Plane with lots of trucks on it" on look really ******ed. I know the Sr-71 is HUGE but picturing someone in that cockpit, and then picturing the Optimus truck around them.. I dunno the difference doesn't seem as big as in the first diagram. Plus in the movie Prime's mass is cheated upwards like all the Autobots, so I'm sure they can cheat the plane downwards
The big big version better combine with the original optimus prime leader class toy, cuz I aint buying a new one just to combine them! im curious to see how they fit a giant blackbird on the back of prime in the movie, he must compress like hell!
There is virtually no chance the original Leader figure will combine. It wasn't designed with combining in mind, and it has a ton of little bits off it that makes no amount of engineering able to make a Jetfire that can attach to him.
As I said back in the original combining topic, it's backpack style. =p But eh, I'm still having a hard time warming up to this idea.
I'm not sure...But I do not believe this is a full scale Blackbird in this pic..The actual aircraft is quite a bit larger than this...how they will accomplish this will be interesting... I hope that just part of Jetfire compines with Prime otherwise Prime will be miniscule compared to his big'ol jet pack.
Here's a good size comparison pic (or at least the best I could find) I think that's a Peterbilt... one towing the forward section fuselage of a SR-71, and the other, one of the, er, thrusters from the wing. Maybe the earlier comparison pic was slightly out, but not by too much. And just to show the effect of perspective, and how it made that other plane on display look smaller than it should, here's the opposite Now I'm going to go watch D.A.R.Y.L.
How are the two figures even combined? Isn't it possible that someone just glued Jetfire on to Optimus Prime for the sake of feeding this discussion?
