| Siege Autobots opened up thus far. (And Jetfire is huge) |
Aloha folks. I noticed lots of people were opening up their Jetfire figure and I wondered what the commotion was all about. Without haste, lets see what the fuss was about and let's get started!
Boxing
So you can see the figure is almost the size of my 32 inch tv. Comes with an array of goodies.
The figure and Macross mode

| Darn it. We need bigger combiners now! |

| Where is thy sting? |
Jetfire is huge as you can see. We seriously need another combiner. Thank God he wasn't bigger than Metroplex but still he is about a third of him. His siege signature battle damage lies mainly in his thighs and lower shin. Its mostly darken that's all though early promo pics of him had those areas more yellow in color. Thank God Hasbro decided to not go with that. It really makes it look as if the toy was yellowing. Joints are tight and his limbs move well. As a goodie, Jetfire can flip his insignia to reveal a Decepticon symbol as a homage to his first appearance "Fire in the sky." Another neat feature is his usage of opening his fingers. However, they can't be opened individually and only as a whole hand. Not bad though.
Jetfire was originally inspired and created by Takatoku toys, who made the Macross series. You can pretty much see the resemblance. His armor houses his face mask. All you have to do is pop the front of the armor open, and voila, take out his face mask. Siege Jetfire also comes with a bunch of fire and afterburn effects. Very nice indeed. Use the effects in anyway you see fit.
Wow. This is his alt mode. Pretty identical to the cartoons. Nice gimmicks as well. The pics will fill you up.
I hesitated at first in picking him up because I already got two other Skyfire/Jetfires. But I decided to pull the trigger seeing that this Jetfire looks and plays more like the G1 figure. For $80 he is well worth it. As of now, Shockwave remains my most favorite Decepticon of the Siege line while Jetfire is my favorite for the Autobot line. Once again, get this guy now!
Next up: Comparing the Jetfires (coming soon).

| Yep his backpack folds up I found out. |
