    I'm pretty sure you have to sell the who shebang. I'm not sure if the upgrade pieces would actually work on a regular Jetfire or not. The jet engines on this version are removable, which might provide clearance for some of the parts.

    Just seeing this for the first time today, will this work on the regular Hasbro leader version as well?

    It will not. After toying around with it last night, I found that some of the add-on pieces need to plug into the spaces left by removing the original's kibble.

    Overall, pretty neat looking. Paint work is top-notch. My only issue is that the pieces that plug into his arms don't stay in well, but that's nothing some glue couldn't fix, by thickening up the pegs.

    Just for kicks, I threw some AA batteries into mine last night and, lo and behold, he has a working voice chip that says the same "Jetfire's muh name" as the original toy. This makes me wonder if these are even KO's at all or just straight-up customs of the existing figures.

    This looks amazing. I just bought one from Show.Z. Should fit nicely with the MPMs and Peru Kill.
