    I know I'll never convince you,
    but I think you're splitting hairs.

    The animation underside is not perfectly smooth but lumpy, and has the leg, waist and chest kibble, just not the shoulder kibble.

    I was once that picky... But I almost missed out on some real gems for being that way.

    Animated Rodimus for instance, has a small gap in the back of the car mode. I skipped it...for that. In retrospect, back then I then I had the assumption that quality would always increase...then came the recession. Some of those figures aren't even possible anymore.

    I picked him up years later luckily.

    Anyways just for fun.

    Leader Jetfire

    I didn't like this one because the legs overlapped the wings (It's a space jet ship thing...whatever). Preposed feet and huge hollows...and now I see an exposed head. Good use of shoulders.

    I liked this one, but the arms and hands went nowhere. Good use of shoulders

    I detest this thing. I feel like this is a straight up middle finger to Jetfire and it has the worst undercarriage ever.

    And the studio one must be so bad that no one bothered to take an underside picture.

    I'll take the Siege solution out of all for these. No visible head, arms aren't hanging out, profile is unencumbered by kibble hanging low....and landing gear.

    Do you think Siege Jetfire will yellow over time?

    I wonder if this will end up being $50 come Christmas time? I have a preorder but, part of me wants to wait.

    could you imagine missing out......
    I'll be honest the only way I could possibly get Omega Supreme in my house, as if I said I got it for a crazy discount that I couldn't say no to....otherwise the wife would think I was a loon (which I am). I'm sure Jetfire is going to raise an eyebrow as he's not tiny either.

    I believe he was $70 something. (I may be wrong and that may be a specific store's price.) That may not be much for some people, but its more then I'm willing to pay personally.

    I'm thinking I'll grab a Titan Warrior Starscream to customize.

    Omega is basically a small child, and I can't wait to adopt him.

    I swear it is not a titan class! Look it even says so on the box! It is like a oversized leaderclass. Really!

    Not sure you're serious... If you are, your high horse is a little too high.

    I think they were talking about Jetfire's class. And oh my God I don't remember actually seeing Omega next to other figures, he's even bigger than I thought. That just makes me even more excited!
