Third party company Magic Square Toys have updated their Weibo account with images of the color prototype of their new MS-B47 Meteorite (G1 Skyfire).
This is a new cartoon-accurate Jetfire mold for the competitive Legends scale market. The images show off the poseability and accessories in robot mode and a clear look at the alt mode. This a good alternative for a Legends scale Skyfire following Newage Toys H45 Firefox.
See all the mirrored images after the break and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Here my review of Dark Knight! Check it out!

The silver MS faces are a real pain to photograph properly, especially G2 Devastator but I actually really like the way Jetfire turned out.

I’ve also encountered a real QC problem that is quite unexpected. The peg that connects his tail fins to his booster pack, and screws in his exhausts was completely sheared off. I thought the screw was just loose but it just fell right off. Fortunately he can still transform in both forms without it due to convenient pegs.

i had some qualms about the silver painted face on SG from other photos posted. but your's doesn't look as bad as i initially thought. it looks fairly decent in fact and close to equal to the original grey face.

NA Skywarp just happens to be one of the few NA figures I've bought. I wasn't happy with the MS Seekers to I picked up one NA one to try them out, but felt that was enough.

Fair point.
My MS Skywarp is in perpetual storage as he really doesn’t match with recent releases. Here’s a pic with NA to make up for it though.

To be a little more clear, the tolerances were initially looser out of the box but after I tightened some screws and applied a bit of Kiki's, he's just about perfect.

For black repaint group shots don't forget the original black repaint, Skywarp.

I am waiting on "Jetfire", ie toy version, before making the move… hopefully white will be ok, and tolerances too, but it is disapointing to hear the black repaint is worst then original, so maybe i have to wait for in hand review.

The tolerances were like that with Ratchet too, at least on my copy. The tolerances are perfect on Ironhide, who came out first, but Ratchet had a very loose thigh swivel. It’s too bad that they still can’t nail them all the time, because they’ve gotten so much better overall. The majority of their newer V2 figures have perfect tolerances, including the original Skyfire.

Got my SG Jetfire in today. I loved the G1 version and I feel the same about this one. The black plastic looks great – no qualms about mismatching plastic. The silver painted face may be off putting to some however. My biggest issue is that he has much looser tolerances which is surprising as MS usually improves in that area on their repaints.
I also would have loved if they included repaints of the Magnus armor cannons to add some variety.

In total I’ve owned three versions of SG Jetfire now – Iron Factory, Newage, and now Magic Square, though never at the same time. As with the toon version, I prefer the proportions, headsculpt, and articulation on this figure over NA but they are both fantastic figures.
I’ll likely pick up the MK version as they have indicated they will KO the NA SG version as well but the MS will likely remain as my main SG Jetfire

Haha! Yes, we may seek couples counseling for it…
PrimusMaximus04
I’m in no way qualified to give love life advice, however…. If they aren’t into SG Jetfire….
WhiteMocha
Haha, one spouse! Who is weirdly indifferent to SG Jetfires, I don’t get it…

How many spouses and/or significant others do you have? If the answer is 1, you are doing fine with life choices.

As someone who owns and likes NewAge SG Jetfire… I think this one looks better. The brighter accent colors, green square on the helmet, and clear green backpack window are all really nice. I also like how the wing stripe is silver instead of white.
Dang, counting the old Iron Factory one I’m gonna end up with three different Legends-scale SG Jetfires. :/ I feel like that should be some sort of red flag about my life choices…
PrimusMaximus04
Okay I’m no longer disappointed in you. but everyone else, my judgement stays the same.
