Wait, what? Exclusive to where?

I just looked back over the description on the front page, it doesn't mention anything about that.

Damnation... I hope this doesn't turn into a problem for me to get.
I think he said it was a fan channel exclusive? Don’t know what that means though. Go back and watch the video when they reveal them.

Fan Channel are some of the easiest exclusives to get.

It just means they're online retailer exclusive... and also GameStop and Books-A-Million for some reason.

Yeah, "Fan Channel" = Hasbro Pulse, Big Bad Toy Store, TFSource, Entertainment Earth, etc. etc.

Looking atthe official promo images. I loled when I saw the one pic with Optimus having the axe equipped and they turned his hand around 180 degrees then stuck the axe haphazardly on it. What even is that?

I'm not even sure what the deal is with his face and eyes. Is this a comic thing? I dig his deco otherwise, very Dramatic Capture.

It's using the Marvel head from that Shockwave comic version release. I think it's painted normally considering his nose is silver too, just that the eyes are deeply recessed and being shadowed.

It's the ER mould and the Centurion accessory pack axe.
That's just how that axe fits into that hand. You need to rotate the hand around 180 degrees and plug the axe into the bottom. It won't fit if you try to plug it into the top of his hand.

What an absolute great figure. One of the first times I am tempted to pick up a second, 1 for bot mode, 1 for super pants mode.

Jetfire was my favorite of the Armada toys. I would come home from work and transform him between shuttle and bot ode almost daily. To me, the Armada toy is still a top 5 favorite figure. The only thing I was was different was if you could use the cargo bay to actually put a minicon in, but he will rarely be in shuttle mode anyway, so no great loss.

I really really really hope they make a Spacewarp, and it's not prohibitively expensive (this one is already riding that line). There are dozens of us who would buy that.
And they could have her combine with Nemesis Prime.

Only real knock I have is the clip that attaches the wing halves together. It stays in place happily most of the time but occasionally randomly disconnects. The clips for the kibble in pants mode are also a bit scary but they seem fine so far.

As long as they use Spacewarp's head along with the colors, they can call it Astrotrain on all sides of the box and papework. I promise to do my best to pretend to be irritated.
