Is it really 4 billion dollars?
Because this is fucking crazy,does the plane transform to an Optimus prime?
>>32241627
Didn't Boeing's stocks dip after he tweeted this?
>>32241638
Projected to be... which means actually more than that.
>>32241644
it bounced right back
>>32241638
>Because this is fucking crazy,does the plane transform to an Optimus prime?
No, Autobots don't turn into planes
>>32241658
Jetfire will like a word with you
>>32241627
No, he won't. He wants to build more ships and help it along.
>>32241664
He wasn't in any of the movies
>>32241742
"Jetfire appears in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and transforms into a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird."
Unless you mean the animated movies, that's been a while.
>>32241810
He was a Decepticon who switched teams mid-movie! He had their logo and everything.
>>32241627
>All those prices from years ago
Learn 2 inflation.
Also, large development costs spread across only 2 platforms adds up to a high cost per unit.
Jesus, /k/ isn't usually this dumb

>"He is almost always depicted as an Autobot"
Depending on continuity, he's either practically always Autobot or Decepticon-who-turns-Autobot.

4 billion is still way too much for (presumably) a one off.
>>32241830
The USS Ford is 10 billion in today's dollars, numbnuts.
>2 planes
>4 BILLION dollars
I didn't know Boeing had paid shills.
>>32241847
well they didn't, but then they charged in excess of 4 billion for a one-off
We're crashing this plane
>>32241927
Didn't what?
>>32241658
>>32241664
And the Aerialbots
>>32241658
that one autobot from beast wars could turn into a flying manta ray
>>32242185
Goddammit I love transformers

Vector Prime
Springer
Broadside
Omega Supreme
Alpha Trion
Devcon
Sky Lynx
Brain Storm
Highbrow
Jetstorm
Scattershot
Strafe
Skyfall
And Jetfire in Armada could combine with Optimus
>>32242337
Fuck I remember this, I even had the toy of this optimus
>>32241638
It includes R&D. Also, keep in mind the thing has to have an enveloping layer made entirely of gold. Seriously.
>>32242347
I only had a few minibots. To this day I still think about buying the Jetfire I always wanted from ebay.
>>32242376
Didn't Jetfire have an A-10 Warthog figurine? THAT'S the one I'd get
It's essentially an experimental plane you are building from the ground up with the most advanced commo, electronics and ECW suite the military's got.
Most of those billions are going into licenses, R&D and development. That actual physical components and labor is probably less than 100 millions. But realize you are designing and building a completely new machine... to produce 1 part and a few spares... x10,000. Without economies of scale your total price per unit will be astronomical.
>>32242382
If by figurine you mean minicon, there is Steel Wind which was a part of the Clear Skies minicon team.

>Jetfire's been alot of cool planes
>C-130
>SR-71
>VF-1S Valkyrie
>F-14 Tomcat
>F-22
>A fucking space shuttle
>Tfw Boeing is doing the thing for free for publicity.
I think it's great Trump isn't even POTUS yet and he already is showing he can't keep his face shut.
>>32242382
>>32242421
The other A-10 you might be thinking of around that era would be Wing Saber, which I think combines with Optimus in Energon.
>>32242462
No fuck me nevermind, THIS is the one I meant, completely forgot his name
>>32242473
>>32242462
Do want
>>32242475
I had this optimus too fucking hell
Now I remember why I wanted wingsaber so bad, because he connected to him holy shit
>>32242481
Another A-10 to look for is Wingblade, who is a redeco of Wing Saber and came out with the 2007 movie.

It's amazing how far shitposting on Twitter can get you in Today's world.
Imagine if to negotiate a deal with a company that wants to leave the US he just shitposts about them on Twitter so hard their stocks fall through the floor.
