Courtesy of Autobase Aichi, we have a nice set of stock images of the next Takara Tomy figures for the Siege line: SG-25 Brunt & SG-26 Jetfire.
The new images surfaced via Amazon Japan. SS-25 Brunt listing indicates a pre-order of 3,780 Yen ($34.22). This very first modern rendition of Trypticon’s little partner can’t be more pleasant to the optics. Now a Deluxe Weaponizer, Brunt can split unto multiple parts and weapons for other Siege toys (some images combined with Skytread available). Highlty poseable in robot mode, and with an alt mode that is clearly inspired by his G1 counterpart.
SS-26 Jetfire pre-order goes for 19440 Yen ($175.96 approximately) and the new images reveal a lot of details about this highly expected new rendition of Jetfire. The robot mode is highly inspired by his G1 cartoon design, but the includes about 10 extra weapons, armor and an extra helmet. Combine all these parts on the robot mode to get a new armored Jetfire which resembles his design seen his G1 toy commercial. The Cybertronian jet mode is also based on the G1 cartoon, and you can also combine the 3 plastic flame effects included into 2 big blasts for his turbines! The images show Jetfire sporting a Decepticon insignia rather than the Autobot one seen on the first images. Some fans think this could be a rotating piece on the chest, or an optional sticker. Don’t forget that Jetfire debuted as a Decepticon in the classic G1 cartoon, and then became a heroic Autobot.
Both figures are due to release on July 26, 2019 in Japan. Click on the bar to see all the images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

The long missle bits come apart and become a great shoulder cannon for red alert (have to balance it though

It's like before and after pregnancy

You have to snap the foot assembly out to engage the ankle tilt. They are really, really tightly tabbed in. Ironically, once disengaged, they provide a very, very loose ankle tilt

he does have ankle tilt, its just tight

I broke down and got Jetfire, because I won some Amazon gift cards at work. He's pretty cool. I was hoping I'd be able to do some weird extra armored up version using Sixgun, since they match in color scheme, but alas. Overall, I really dig him. Wish his waist had a better turn radius, and that he had an ankle tilt, something that most other Siege figures have managed really well, but I like him.

What struck me about Jetfire as soon as I picked him up was the lightweight plastic, loose ratchets, and hands that disengage too easily… awesome looking design though.
Problem is, now I'm closer to working my way up to FT Phoenix, which costs a bomb!
Nevermore
I'm not entirely sure, but the "E4824" tampograph might be missing on the Takara version.

Is the only thing different on the SG-26 version the packaging?

Anyone got the SG-26 version in hand? Exactly the same as Hasbro?

Just picked him up at Walmart in Owensboro Kentucky. Completely shocked to see him, it wasn\'t even with the other transformers and I almost didn\'t see him at all.

Anybody got some pics of this megadood next to a CW Devastator or Predaking?
SharkticonX
Well atleast its animation accurate in terms of articulation

Show me in the G1 Cartoon where he had a waist Swivel.
That's because he didn't.
SharkticonX
Really tempted to get this, but still on the fence because of the limited waist swivel range
Darklancer
any bets on when BBTS will get their stock? Quietly sitting on the money with my pre-order while everyone else is starting to get theirs

Awesome review of a great figure. Took Takara long enough to finally give us the proper incarnation just like his G1 counterpart.
kaszal
I'm getting this!
Do you think a 3rd party company could design a shoulder piece that would allow better tabbing? It looks like a rubbery plastic has been used and the arms are popping out easily?

My kid helped me release Skyfire from his box. So I can't play with him right now
