Thanks to an eBay listing by eBay member clamar2120, we now have a few photos of what might be the long rumored Generations Leader Jetfire toy. While the photos are very grainy and look to be altered, the resemblance to Generation One Skyfire/Jetfire is uncanny.
This release was originally leaked via a Hasbro Database error back in October.Stay tuned to TFW2005 as we bring you the latest news as it happens, and stay tuned with us next week as our New York Toy Fair coverage begins!
EDIT: Thanks to a user on 4chan’s /toy/ known only as Hound, we now have a full image of the upcoming toy, featuring his true colors, alternate head/mask gimmick, as well as his full booster pod weaponry set.

No kidding…good price though. Tempted to pull the trigger, but the other online sites shouldn't be too far behind, and he'll get the brick mortar treatment too?
Sciencefriction
Wow, a PO already for a fall release? We're they solicited already??

i think someone just needs to make a body colored cover for the faux cockpit. that'd complete the look for me and perhaps if it could store somewhere or act as a shield in bot mode that would be swell.
i do think this jetfire will sell like hotcakes and that there will be 3rd party accessories galore (g1 jetfire head scuplt anybody? toon accurate booster pack? toy accurate booster pack? toon rifle? etc etc etc. ) its literally a gold mine.
primetime77
that is an awesome optimus design. somebody please make that and do a fantastic job please!! i like that prime has a mecha feel to him again. i have an like orion but he is NOT that.
Rob
The subtle changes could be done to better match up with a (theoretic) toy. I don't think the design is a subtle change, it looks as subtle as Ations/AHM to ongoing.
SPLIT LIP
Yeah, here's hoping. It's a subtle change, not an overt redesign.
Rob
It has to be made, why else would they change the design?
rosewater
That Optimus! Good lord, he'd be perfect. Please, Hasbro, please!
Skrunklemin
I wouldn't worry about that. It seems that this new "leader class" is more comparable to what was previously ultra rather than huge stuff like ROTF Prime for example. If you look at the pics of leader Jetfire near voyager Skybyte, he is bigger, but not monstrously so. Sizing will be pretty great for…leaders
TheSupernova
But will Legends Tailgate actually be as tall as Leader Megatron's knees?
(I'm really hoping that Leader Megatron isn't wildly too big)
Shinobi Rendar
YES and YES please.
These two have got to be my fav IDW renditions of the characters to date. I hope we get Leaders close to these designs.
Fort Max
While that's very nice it's basically just a cybertronised version of his current earthy looking tank form and given that most of the generations classics have had earth modes I would guess the leader megatron toy will be much closer to the current rid design
Rob
Perhaps this will be (hopefully) voyager/leader Optimus
rosewater
Yes, please.

i'm pretty sure this is what we can assume leader megs will look like, more or less (spoilers removed)

Loving this figure. Not as picky as others about the fake cockpit thing. I'm going to find a small guy to ride in there. Hasbro has made last year and this year so much fun to be a Transformers collector.
Rob
Look to Toyworld for that design in a larger scale
King Kaiser
I seriously hope leader Megs is the stealth body plus I am not a fan of his tank body.

The New MP Grimlock has a weird green clear plastic, Im not on board with. I do n't have any room to gripe though. This does mean that an MP-11 Starscream could be a possibility though.
