Yeah, I remember seeing it in your collection. It is very nice. The Henkei Skyfire version has an even more G1-based paint job. Looks identical to his G1 version. However the chrome around the thrusters ruins the Henkei version for me. I stuck with this one, and I love it.
Well...... Not Identical.
I hate the front end design on the Henkei one.
Im with you on this one.
They really screwed the look of the cockpit up too..
Its about the only Henkei version that Ive considered to be inferior to the Hasbro version.
I think the Hasbro Jetfire looks more like the G1 toy version colourwise, but with enough resemblance to Cartoon/Comic version physically to pull it off. Have you read the stormbringer comic...?
Cause this version of Jetfire is in that.
*Awaits masterpiece G1 Skyfire.*

Yeah, I know what you mean. I haven't looked at the front end of the cockpit that well. My friend has a Henkei Skyfire and it's high up on his shelf, I noticed the super obvious chrome thrusters and didn't like it. I do love the American Classic one.
I have read Stormbringer, twas awesome. Although I read it in manga style, so the black and white pages didn't do justice for Jetfire's awesomeness, I have to hunt down a copy of that comic in colour.
MP-Jetfire would be great, I can dig that.

tAnd with slight remoulding, they could do their "get two releases from one mold" thing, whilst also having the alternate sets of armour. (If they could get away with it with Macross legalities etc)T'would be "The balls".
That would be cool. I heard rumors that the next MP might be Prowl.

Pure awesome.
Yeah, I'd think so too.
I've always wanted an MP-Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy, or an MP Metroplex you can actually live in.
