Thank you to one of our channel members, PurpleStuf, for donating this G1 Jetfire toy for restoration!
Thank you so much for taking on my G1 Jetfire restoration and removing all the yellowing! He turned out amazing!
You're very welcome... enjoy! :)
Super! Lots of little pieces.😊
Thanks! It was a fun restoration... :)
Sweet video. Jetfire is an amazing toy.
Thank you! I agree, he's a great toy. I remember getting him for Christmas in 1985... :)

I really look forward to your video uploads Mike, this is fantastic work bud 🙌🏻👍🏻
Thanks Simon, I appreciate that! Hopefully I can get part two up in the near future.
I look forward to them too, he and mr bobot are fantastic.

Congrats on 700 subs! Onward and upward, my dear friends! :) Both of you. ;)
Thanks! We "both" appreciate your support! :) :)
@@MisterBobot 😁
Cant wait to pt 2.
Thank you! It will hopefully be up sooner than later. Just started a new "job", so that's taking up a lot of my time. Thanks for the comment!
@@MisterBobot your welcome. Say hi to your robot buddy for me. Lol. 🤖
@@andrewfuoss5117 Hi did, and Mr. Bobot says, "HELLO" back... :)
@@andrewfuoss5117 His robot buddy is cute. And I think he knows he's cute.
I've done two partial rebuilds on these things. Its surprising how many tiny parts are inside.
The tail fin/backpack section was loose 40 years ago. The only thing that kept them in place in robot mode was the fast pack booster rockets.
You're right, these things got tons of little pieces to keep track of... Let's hope I can put this guy back together for part two! :)
Watching! :)
I find with Jetfire, the paint is more likely to react with retrobrite if the clear coat is worn off
I think you're right... The tape adhesive and the hydrogen peroxide made a really bad combination.
The vertical stabilizers aren’t supposed to stick straight up and down. There’s a nub that LOOKS like a stop… it’s not. Click the stabilizers past it and they stay in place. See the real life F-14 tomcat (or even the VF-1 from Macross) for reference. 😊.
By the way, love this restoration. I just found your channel and will watching more!
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the channel. Yes, I did notice those "nub" things and tried to use them when I first got the toy but everything was so worn that they didn't hold very well at all. Maybe I could try a different type of repair w/ the nubs so the stabilizers have to correct position and look... possibly resin. Thanks. :)

はい！彼は素晴らしいおもちゃだよ！
VF-1 valkyrie
Yep, I believe Hasbro got the rights to make the toy but had to change the way the character looked for the cartoon...
Congrats on 750 subs :) Still want chicken teryaki on them? :)
Thanks! and teriyaki please... :)
@@MisterBobot :) And what will mr bobot have? :)
Heh where'd you get the idea to put an ad in the middle? :p
I really like those old 80's tv commercials! This restoration has a lot of pieces that you have to keep organized, so I thought that Wendy's commercial talking about "pieces parts" was appropriate. :)
@@MisterBobot Appropriate? Haha ok I get it.
Did the paint on the chest feel off and did you repaint the wings?
Yes, some of the paint on the chest came off due to the tape adhesive and hydrogen peroxide combining. The wings were fine b/c I didn't tape anything off on them. So, lesson learned on my part. I'm fixing the paint on the chest and should be completing this restoration soon for part two. Thanks for the comment! :)
@@MisterBobot when you repainted it, did it have a slight raise or did it feel like the original.
@@DrPriiime It felt very close to the original b/c I misted the paint on using my airbrush set on a low PSI.
@@MisterBobot Hey Mr B, you mentioned there about lesson learned: What could you have done differently there to try and fix the yellowing without damaging the colour? I've got a really yellowed R2D2 clock (think it was a PEPSI mail away promotional item when Episode 1 came out), that I've been thinking about trying to restore to it's original colour, but I don't want to end up having to repaint all the blue bits blue.
@@MrThunderwing Hi Thunderwing! The mistake I made was taping off the painted parts on the chest. I believe the adhesive from the tape and the hydrogen peroxide damaged some of the paint, so I had to go back and re-paint everything. For your clock I would recommend not taping and applying the HP very carefully. Maybe do a test spot first to try it out. There's always risks to restorations but go slow and test it out first. For my Jetfire restoration, all the other painted parts on the toy, other than the chest, were not damaged by the retro-brightening b/c I eliminated the tape.
Good video but the robot voice is a bit jarring
Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it! I'll have a talk w/ Mr. Bobot about his voice data banks. We'll see if we can get him an upgrade. :)
@@MisterBobot no bother i enjoy watching teardown and restorations
