Really curious how they can make Jetfire any better than the commander class figure.

Raiden should be cool, but probably cost a fortune.

Why isn't there an MP Mirage?????????

First let me say I love Siege Jetfire.

However there are definitely some improvements that could be made with a Masterpiece.

Obviously the budget would be bigger, but of course the price would be bigger as well. The engineering would probably be a lot mtore complex to achieve the cartoon accuracy that Masterpiece goes for now.

Skyfire would also be even closer to G1 cartoon accuracy than Siege. Also add in what would probably be some show specific accessories. Then factor in size!!!!! How big will Skyfire be when scaled next to the rest of the Masterpiece line?

Finally the price is probably going to be beyond ridiculous. If Prime and Beast Megs were both north of $400(CDN), then Skyfire will probably come in over $500?

As for Raiden, at least it would be something not done in Masterpiece yet so they may decide not to go full scale with the rest of the G1 masterpiece line. If they do, then hooboy I don't want to see that sticker shock.

If I'm going to buy a Masterpiece Jetfire figure, I'll buy it from Bandai. The Skyfire animation model was always a blocky mess. The main reason why I like my Leader Jetfire as much as I do is that it takes a lot of its cues from the original toy rather than the show.

as far as a masterpiece jet/sky fire I'll stick with my fans toys version , as for raiden it will be a price point given a third party's up and comming version ...
I am not going camping so hasbro can leave the back pack designs at home,cartoon accurate indeed lol

Funny how they're doing Raiden the same time Moon Studios (i.e. Zeta Toys) is doing theirs. It's the Unicron deboggle all over again. Zeta better not use the name Raiden, lol

Siege Jetfire is good enough for me.
Masterpiece Skyfire... I'll possibly consider depending on price.
Whatever scale he comes in, he won't match up with everyone's indvidual idea as to what scale should be. For me, Siege Jetfire fits nicely. From the cartoon, I never got the impression that he was as large as the gesalts. As for alt-mode size, as long as there is Megatron and Soundwave, alt-mode sizing, for me, will have some leeway.

I was not into the Japanese Transformers, but some of the figures do intrigue me. And this Raiden looks interesting. It won't be high on my priority list, but I'll think about it for sure. Will see about the price. That will probably be the determning factor for me.
