(...) The main reason for the expense is probably the central piece and the arms and legs that hang off of them. (...) Good point. I'd say there are five completely generic parts: a 2x4 plate, a 2x6 plate, a 2x12 plate, a 6x(8 to 12) trapazoidal (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | BTR Transformers Jetfire: Improved Transformation
|
|
Hi all. Well, I've been looking over JetFire, and I've come up with a fairly simple change to make it more of a Transformer. Note that this form isn't as stable as the given transformation is... but on the other hand, it isn't as stupid-looking (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

The new Probuilder Harley Davidson is at Wal-mart. They also had a new set that makes 10 vehicles (I assume not a the same time but could be mistaken) with mostly blue parts.

I particularly like 3 and 4, 5 seems a little unfinished somehow because of the semi-open cockpit space. I'd like to see the other side of 3 and I think 5 would be fairly easy to improve.
