I can comfirm, as someone who bought this glorious boy when he was new, Jetfire's knees could never hold him up to save his life. Still, oddly enough never minded as I thought it added to the whole "robot granpa" vibe he has going on.

Had only just yesterday put my ROTF Jetfire into storage, now Studio Series Jetfire is in his place on the shelf. A noticeable size difference between the 2, with SS Jetfire being slightly smaller, but having better kibble management and not having issues standing without his stick.

@coffeeinhandproductions32383 ай бұрын
Owning this one from the very beginning, I haven't been too fussed with getting the SS. The knee design though is abysmal, and getting him to stand in any pose is an accomplishment. Always thought the walking cane accessory was hilarious, but he has to be in a very specific pose to use it properly. A more solid connection would've been great. Kibble from the plane can form a secondary gun though if you can get him to hold it properly it just looks like more arm kibble. Think it's more weaponry for the combined mode. Ankle pivot would have been great for stability.

My brother got this figure and I got leader Optimus the Christmas of 2009 and even back in the day we both hated how much of a chore it was to play with this toy. You've already noticed how much the knees and those shoulder pads suck, now try to imagine how fiddley it is to combine this figure with the leader Prime. However nowadays both my brother and I still love this figure and the leader Prime because the challenge was what made it fun and memorable.

Found this guy a while ago at a goodwill without his cane, gun, and missing quite a bit of panels for his plane mode. I also thought his knees were weaker because of where I got him from but turns out it wasn't. But man it still commands attention with just how tall and chunky he is.

Honestly, he used to be a god to me, him with Optimus prime in DOTM 2pack and they are still now. Nowadays, there are more and more modern toys like studio series, LS15. They look better, they feel better, they pose better. But years ago, when I was a boy, I must say these are characters walking out of the screen. They are the real Jetfire, the real Optimus I've seen in the movie. And that's enough for me. I love and remember the feeling of playing with them. Toys are getting better now, but these always have a place in my heart and my showcase of course.

No the knees just suck. I have this and its only really good for the jetpower prime IMO. Its a decent figure but the transformation feels like summoning a demon and I always had to use the walking stick like a tripod. Overall, decent figure but I wouldn't recommend it. The panels also pop off on mine. Normally I just leave it until I need it.
