Transformers Movie 2 Leader Jetfire

Transformers Movie 2 Leader Jetfire JETFIRE grew tired of war a long time ago. The reckless ambition of the DECEPTICONS, and the senseless violence of their war sickened him, and so he left CYBERTRON to go into hiding. The form he eventually chose on Earth seemed appropriate for one who wished to remain unseen. He slumbered in peace for years.

Now, reawakened by the arrival of the war on Earth, he decides once again to enter the fight this time on the side of the AUTOBOTS, and this time to end it for good, whatever the cost. Prepare for battle with this AUTOBOT warrior by your side! In robot mode, this mighty ally features electronic speech and light-up eyes and chest that are sure to discourage enemy attackers! This good guy is ready to take on DECEPTICON forces once and for all! In SR-71 Blackbird jet mode, get in gear with combat and cool conversion sounds that let you know this hero means business! MECH ALIVE gearing reveals moving armor panels and internal gears that let you recreate some of your favorite movie scenes or create your own! Team up with this awesome ally and roll out!

Transformers Movie 2 Leader Jetfire Review

A real treat here, TF fans. This figure is abound w/versatility: w/panels that become prime’s firearm (in jet charged mode: that’s a whole ‘nother story altogether!), multiple accessories and a third mode that combines W/leader Optimus, this figure really delivers @ MSRP of 44.99. Although the robot gears and anatomy are eyesore-inducing (aka the phenomenon of “Kibble” as we collectors refer to it), the functionality of Jetfire is more than enough to compensate for it. Has excellent articulation for an item that undergoes a fair deal of transformation (though, in my opinion, Voyager Mixmaster takes the cake for metamorphosis/articulation ratio). The Mech-Alive gimmick is fairly intricate despite its limited range, and the speech gimmick does the trick (however, I thought Hasbro could’ve strived for more than just a single, eponymous line of dialogue for these leader-class figures).

And lastly, the fusing you can do w/him and optimus is true fun realized: a MASSIVE figure when completed (but more range of motion for the limbs could’ve been taken into account, but hey, this is Transformers we’re dealing with here! We don’t need to focus on details, just the BIG picture!) This figure will really add a sense of gravity to wherever it’s displayed, at the office (if you don’t get into any trouble w/it!), the home, or specifically, in your bedroom or home theater.
Overall, you’re going to have a blast with this figure (especially if you already own Leader Prime!), and it is in my strongest opinion that you snatch him up before you have to wait weeks (maybe months!) before you get a second chance at this triple changer of a transformer! AUTOBOTS, TRANSFORM… AND ROLL OUT!
