A brand new TV Spot for Transformers: The Last Knight has surfaced today (we’ve lost count, honestly) and it features Nitro Zeus in action.
The spot’s primary message is to watch experience the movie in IMAX 3D. Check it out below:
With 98% of Transformers filmed on IMAX cameras, you won’t believe what meets the eye.

I do wish the Nitro toy had the forewings. However, I still really like the look of the figure. I'm not big on the movie TF figures, but Nitro is on my to-buy list.

The toy matches no aircraft in reality. Features of several but no exact match.

Nice old fashion clunkly flip transformations. hot… the CG has a very china movie feel to it. like the models are less detailed, still looks great

so i think we can say that the serviving cons will be megs,barricade and nitro.
it's cool that megs has another flyer as his new second in comand after starscream's death.
maybe he chose nitro because he reminds megs of starscream? he seems to be sad with starscream's death afterall.
cool that atleast some cons will make it out alive !!

Just went and found that Hasbro did make a toy similar to Nitro's alt (DOTM Hatchet) without licensing. Was it really that hard to do that again?
(Or, in second thought, maybe Nitro changes alt-modes in the middle of the film like Prime and Bee often do. It's a possibility…)

The Nitro transformation is pretty cool. Gotta love Jetformers! That said, really wish they had introduced Skywarp and Thundercracker instead, or even the Coneheads. Would've been the perfect opportunity for SW and TC to show up, perhaps as Megatron's elite guard or even KSI clones of Starscream who had adopted some of his more interesting personality traits (a la Animated and how they made the Seeker Clones). Still, hope to see more of Nitro in action!

Trademark didn't stop G1 Dirge… guess it's Radicon time again. Which is a shame because that jet is really cool.
Oh, did I mention that I absolutely love your profile pic? (My fave anime ever, BTW)

More than likely licensing reasons. Saab is a Swedish defense manufacturer, so it could have been too pricy/troublesome for the actual figure. Hence a more "basic" design.
Aside from engines, another clue is in the canards. You can see how Nitro's are resting above the intakes (akin to the Rafale/Gripen), whereas the Typhoon's are more towards the cockpit/nose. The Rafale also has a fixed refueling drogue on the right side, while the Gripen has a retractable one on the left (no drogue is visible in this shot). All 3 are very similar in design, so it's understandable how they're easily mistaken for one another.

Actually you are right! I thought he was a euro fighter Typhoon. But I see the 1 engine now. The Rafale, the latest Dassault Aviation combat aircraft: introduction
The big reason I thought he was a Typhoon at first is because of the 2 engines on his back. Which the Typhoon has.

Because of Nitro\'s bulk (and complicated licensing issues) I think HASBRO wanted more room to play with for transformation, thus the toy is no particular jet. I\'m betting the toy has two thrusters.
II would have been cool with cybertronian jet in his case. Either way looking forward to him.

Yay, proper transformations.

I agree in type of the jet, but Idk why Hasbro don't make the jet more accurate.

Thank Wikipedia–stole 'em from them.

But the bot mode shows 2 trusters on his back..
HoneyPrime
Hmmm, Nitro seems to only have one thruster, so I'm going to go with the Gripen.
Very nice pictures btw so that they can be compared.

Nitro is a JAS-39 Gripen

No, it's Nitro. Hatchet was a Chevrolet Suburban in DOTM and was the first Dread to be killed.

That isn\'t Nitro… thats Hatchet. It has the nose fins.
Hatchet (DOTM) – Transformers Wiki
Nitro\'s alt mode is a different jet altogether, no nose fins;

It's Nitro, people are just comparing him to Starscream.

Nitro is becoming one of my favorite Decepticon\'s now, I just hope the removable head on the toy doesn\'t tell the fate of Nitro. But even if it does the IMAX fan event back in March (I think) had a scene where Megs picks up Screamer\'s head, maybe I fNitro fall Megs will use Screamer\'s head as a way to bring bback Nitro and/or Starscream.
