Picked up soundwave, *sigh* kind of disappointing

I saw jazz repaint as Smokescreen today, kinda cool may get it...

I did end up picking up Jetfire today. I find it really awesome that they actually have a transformer with a cane! Transformation from robot mode to vehicle mode is a pain in the rear, I'll leave him in robot mode. Combination mode is not that spectacular, but it's still cool.

Jetfire with a cane just makes me sad. He was in my top 3 faves as a kid. never would have interpreted his character like Mikey Bay did. shouldn't have Bay added Kup with a cane if he wanted an "old warrior". would make more sense. although I haven't seen the movie yet so no context to put things in...

do you need to get a new leader class op or will one from the 1st movie work

I'm new to this board, thus why I have no avatar, etc.

Yesterday, I bought the RoTF Optimus Prime, and I thought it would be easy to convert him to truck mode by following the directions, right? Not the case.

Anyone having problems with step 7? The diagram looks like the two front window pieces flip up and over the shoulders, but those pieces can't be moved due to bottom piece is in a track that has no exit for the guide to leave.

So I'm like very disappointed that the instructions does seem to match well with the toy. Is this a design flaw on Hasbro part?

More like standard fare from those guys...
Look up some youtube vids, I've had to resort to that many a time, they're real helpful sometimes.

I know exactly what you're talking about. There is a small clip on each of the window pieces that is attached to the rail. Hasbro fails to mention that you have to disconnect the windows from the chest. Push them towards the middle of the figure, then pull them out.
