He is decked out in garish colors, numerous smiley faces, and lightning bolts, all in homage to the style of Colombian reggaeton singer J. Balvin. For the first time in the long history of this mold, the traditional hand- and shoulder-mounted battery weapons are not included; instead, the set features a redeco of the large double rifle originally included with War for Cybertron: Siege Jetfire. J. Balvintron also comes with two delicious rainbow-colored Fire Blast effects, likewise of the design originally for Siege Jetfire.
