    Man, so whoever LoserBroadside was talking to I guess deleted his posts, because now it's just post after post of just LoserBroadside seemingly arguing with himself. :lol 

    In earnest? Not since I was a teenanger. And even if I did, that doesn't make it right now does it?

    And "disgrace" doesn't even make sense, since if it's "disgracing" anything it's the original Broadside, who's jet mode wasn't particularly better.

    "I think it looks awful" would've been a far more rational thing to say.

    The sad thing is that I WASN'T arguing with anyone! Just venting my considerable spleen over my crushing disappointment with what was my most-anticipated figure of the line.

    Oh.

    Well then, maybe taking a little breather would help? You sextuple posted, which I've actually never seen before.

    I don't think any toy warrants that level of frustration.

    I'll be buying this because I'm DETERMINED to fan-mode a decent jet out of this. But at the very least, he'll look good in robot mode standing with the rest of my wreckers.

    Off topic a little, but did you ever pick up the Fansproject version a few years back?

    that jet mode is mistransformed. just wait till we see official pics then form a better opinion. my opinion is it looks great in all modes. like the jet mode because its different and once it gets fixed right it will be nicer (I hope).

    I like the jet mode. It reminds me of animated Starscream and I'm a freak who likes her jets to have forward swept wings and giant rocket packs.
    I guess I don't understand why the legs are folded up at that odd angle instead of sticking straight out, which would make more sense.

    Honestly with how thick the legs are I think having them stick straight out would look even worse, but that's just my opinion. You can expect a lot of people to fiddle around with them once he's released.

    Really if the lower legs could retract CW Rook-style I think the jet mode would improve drastically.

    Is he an extensive retool of alpha trion? The legs seems to be the same. Specifically the feet.

    What a garbage jet mode. This is a slap in the face of every fan of the original, near perfect G1 fi-

    Honestly, if you took the front of this broadside and glued the back half of the original to it, you'd have a jet mode that looked half decent.
