I already have it! Sometimes I love living in Australia (well, moreso than usual. ) And it's pretty cool. Quite fun, but the identical nature of the twins makes it a little less exciting. |

Jetfire was used just last year and is going to come back in the movie. Concerning Jetfire, and Prowl, I claim whoring, cause like Bulkhead, both are fine oppertunity to introduce new characters. Now I know who would want a new character... ? To that I just give mention to Cheetor and Hot Shot, ... read more |

I would have to say animated Prowl has some similarity's as G1 Prowl. The crown on his forehead, and his head shape (with an twist), along with being a law enforcement vehicle. This Jetfire however really has nothing tying him to G1 Jetfire other then having a air alt mode. And its not even a J... read more |

Sadly, 'whoring' the name is how they are able to keep the name. If they don't use it after X years, they lose the rights to it and it goes back in the pool. |

I think the issue here is that while Animated Prowl has as much to do with G1 Prowl as animated Jetfire has to do with his G1 counterpart, Prowl's actually pretty cool looking. Jetfire has that G1 "who cares it's close enough" feel to it that really doesn't stand up when compa... read more |

Whoring a name? I think that's a little harsh. It's just one of those "familiar name for a new character" scenarios that's been around forever. I mean, Animated Prowl is in no way connected to or an homage of G1 Prowl, but that's not whoring a name, right? |

I here ya, but for me Classics was a nice nail in the coffin as AEC pretty much did everything possible with the name. I know Jetfire is returning in TF2, but if he combines with Prime as I think he will in toy form, he'll be another Wing Saber on my shelves. Concerning this set, Animated is jus... read more |

I think I'm about the only person ever looking forward to these guys. But the twin jet concept just seems cool to me. Besides, Classics gave me my old school Jetfire/Skyfire homage, so I'm happy with the character going another direction. |
