the instructions doesn't say anything on how to properly combine them so I was wondering how you guys combine them. this is how I set them up.
This is how I do it: I like to think Jetfire's landing gear/walking stick forms JetPrime's gun. It almost pegs into the lower part of Optimus's arm. It doesn't really look much like a gun, and it's too small and it's on the wrong side to be the big gun, but that's how I like to do it anyway. And this is my fan mode.
lol, ...I call that Jet-Powered Convoy mode. I like what you're doing with the shoulder fins. It's not in my pics, but I've been doing something a bit like that since the production design was leaked. By not having Jetfire's legs completely folded up, you can get a similar look to the cg model. It's an attempt to match the way the outside shoulder fins are supported by struts.
^ it's too bad that the fins can't be flipped around. That'd be at least a little bit more accurate. Edit: There.. A merge of a little big of everything Also slanted the wings a little.
These two are my favorites. Galaxy Force'ish Movie Prime Jetfire's head on top mode.. (Prime's head doesn't fold down all the way without them disconnecting) Not really a whole lot of movie accuracy in any of these, but what can you expect?
Folks, this is probably one of my most favorite threads ever here. I love both of these Legends figures (Prime's RotF toy beats out his TFM one by a mile!), and to see them combine in unexpected ways is such a fun surprise. Slightly off-topic, but anyone else going as ga-ga as I am with RotF Legends figures? Man, they are all seriously FUN and well thought-out given the amount of materials and detail Hasbro's crammed into these. Bumblebee this time around is terrific, Sideswipe is nicely done, and Mudflap is incredibly charming. I almost bought the red Ironhide since I loved the original one, but I try not to buy repaints (in general).
That's a great way of posing Jetfire! I always thought his cane was short, but posing him in this manner lets him use it properly -- AND he looks older and more crotchety! Sorry, I have a soft spot for old 'bots; they tend to have good histories (TFA Ratchet especially, though Kup was a favorite of mine as a kid, too).
When I got that pose to work it really improved my opinion on the figure. Even though it's just a tiny legends figure, using the walking stick makes him seem heavy and imposing. And yeah, a little crotchety too. Looks a bit like he's chasing young bots off his lawn.
