Vanguard Jetpack no Flames

[Bluecast]

I have a hero with a Vanguard Jetpack and when he flies, there are no flames which turn on like with other jetpacks. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't know if there never were flames or not, but in any respect I think IT SHOULD have flames if it's listed as a jetpack.

To be honest, it doesn't even look like there's a jetpack attached to the character's back ... unlike every other jetpack option.  Makes me wonder if there's "parts missing" for that costume part.

I often pick the Vanguard Jetpack "backpack" piece (sometimes just the vanguard, no jetpack piece), and what I usually do (if I don't have hover/fly) is use the Small Longbow Jetpack with it.  On huge body types, it's often obscured inside the Vanguard Jetpack piece, so I get the flame of that.

 

I wish they'd sell a Vanguard jetpack temp power at the P2W that would fit in as an insert (just slightly smaller so as not to overlay on the colored/tinted costume backpack piece).

 

BTW:  recently (as of 21 Jun 2020 or earlier) the Longbow Jetpacks (normal and small) are all BLACK.  (reveal below):

Unfortunately, the toon I was on did NOT use the vanguard piece, but the tech spine with "bulge thing" but you can see the (normal size) Longbow Jetpack, and the Small Longbow Jetpack):
