My headcanon for his name: As a Decepticon, his name was Jetfire, but when he joined the Autobots, he changed his name to Skyfire, similar to what Deadlock/Drift did
See the problem is he was only a Decepticon for like an afternoon. He woke up from a Coma he went into long before the war ever started and he joined up with the cons cause they told him they were the good guys. But he basically defected the second he ran across the autobots, and realized they were the good guys.
I was going for flaps instead. They help increase lift when taking off and landing. Ailerons meanwhile control the plane's rolling motion. Speaking of which, some planes like the F-16 instead have flaperons that function as both flaps and ailerons.
I love the idea of the big giant guy that's a scientist. I like that in the IDW comics both Optimus and himself refrain from putting him in combat due to him being more valuable in research-related roles, and because he dislikes combat. Though there's no doubt he's capable in both areas. I hate that they just made him just a big seeker guy in War For Cybertron.
Yeah I like that he's a nerd who could absolutely wreck shop just cause he was made that way, but just want's to be a Scientist. He's a fighter who's not a fighter, and that's cool and unique.
My favorite episode is “Fire on the Mountain” Skyfire’s second episode and it’s thee episode I can almost quote verbatim, why because I love that they pair him with my favorite Minibot duo Windcharger and Brawn the banter they wrote for them is classic especially when Brawn answers Ironhide’s witty comeback “this is what separates the Autobots from the robot chickens” with “ No one calls me a robot chicken”.
He's the perfect intro to the commander class price point, I still think Sky Lynx is an improvement but even getting this guy after sky lynx and he's really good, just a big solid skyfire like I've always wanted
Not counting Sky Lynx, every "Commander" class figure after Jetfire has been a Voyager with extra parts. I think the upcoming Armada Optimus is a return to form as you get two complete robots in one. A cool idea for another true Commander class figure would be an all new quadruple changer Optimal Optimus.
Dude I love this thing & the sheer nostalgic look it gives off , now that’s a chef’s kiss . Ik it ain’t the best when transformered into jet mode on the underside. When clearly the masterpiece is on its way & I can’t help but laughing from pure pain or humiliation.
Someone actually already suggested that, and the problem with it is... It's too good. How am I supposed to make funny joke about coming up with bad name.
I know the backstory of G1 Skyfire. A scientist who was friends with Starscream before the war. They explored earth but Skyfire got lost in a snow storm. And the part where he was founded by the Decepticons years later, he joined them, but later on switched to the Autobot side and etc etc etc. The Siege toy is accurate to G1 cartoon Skyfire. But I'm not really a fan of the guy being bigger then the other Transformers. I grew up during the Transformers Unicron trilogy, it was just some cartoons that just happened to be on TV, not knowing it was so much more then that, where Jetfire was the same size of other Transformers. And I preferred that size scaling ever since. Of course when I got interested in collecting Transformers during the WFC trilogy when Earthrise hit toy shelves. I did eventually get his Siege figure. To be honest, despite the mechanical designs on his body, he looked kind of plain. His weapon pieces and chest armor that can store together to be some kind of drone, not really a fan of that either. Wish it could have been stored in his red backpack when not in use. But since it can all be used for Jetfire's battle mode, with blast effects, I display him weaponized his with his blasters and missiles and armored up with his chest armor and battlemask. He honestly looks better that way to me. So in my headcanon, I gave him the G1 toy commercial backstory. Of the Autobots creating him as the ultimate robot jet to fight the Decepticons in the sky. It also justify his bigger height too.
You know I didn't think of it as a missed opportunity to use his back pack as a back pack until now. As for the other Jetfire stuff. Those are just completely different characters so I think it's fine for them to be different scales.
First all the Siege love, then the Magic Square, and now this. Thank you for continuing to fan the flames of my reinvigorated love for these fun pieces of plastic. My wallet may never forgive me, but my heart certainly does when I look over my Siege/SS86/Kingdom/other collection that I suddenly have.
Man why do Stark White figures get all the best results? Anyways I'm glad I was able to Rekindle a passion of yours. Sorry about the crimes I've caused against your wallet though.
@@PerspectiveEnd Oh definitely don't apologize for that, I know you do your best to not sell people on these figures, but when you ended up gushing over this Skyfire so much despite pointing out all the flaws you could and mentioning the aftermarket price increases, I knew I absolutely had to get him. Helps that I never had the chance to own one despite my own love for the character, so what's a small financial mishap to fulfilling a childhood dream?
This is probably one of my favorite figures. It has some awkwardness, but it just adds to the charm it has for me. When i saw the MP reveal i instantly grabbed this figure from my shelf and hard stared at the difference between the prototype of the MP compared to this figure, and i loved the look of siege so much more
acquired recently the KO oversized one (not sure how much bigger he is, he might be MP scale) and yeah, apqrt from a few joint tolerances that are wonky, some tabs (mainly the wheels and the chest pieces) that are eitheir too tight or don't hold well (the one for the hands). it's a pretty interesting bot. also mine has diecast feets and apqrently some gaps fillers.
welp, you convinced me to get this guy... eventually, eitheir when he gets a reissue or I can find a cheaper KO version, cause I've seen the price he goes for and the 250 euros he goes for is unreasonable even for a commander class (who usually go for 110 where I'm from)
@@PerspectiveEnd good to know. commander class really seems like a big step up from leader but so far alot of them don't interest me or have 1 flaw (Magnus's thighs being restricted) that keep me away from them
I got an online reissue of this guy for retail price and now he's my second favourite commander. My personal ranking is: 1, Ultra magnus (I found him for voyager price) 2, Skyfire (The biggest and most chunky out of the ones I own) 3, Magmatron (Dinosaur orgy) 4, Armada prime (pretty great) 5, Rodimus (pretty good) 6, Motomaster (only good for menasor) I don't own Skylinx or SS86 prime.
DAAAAMN How did you get magnus for Voyager? Sadly I don't even think Motormaster is good for Mensor any more because the last two members of the team suck so bad. Glad you are enjoying Skyfire so much.
Personally I'd keep him the same, if it's supposed to be a new incarnation of the same dude. Weirdly large over built scientist, who accidentally missed out on the whole war and has to come to terms with discovering it happened in his absence.
Animated jetfire: wasn’t trying to be it was a trademark thing, I’m sure a proper version of the character would have appeared in season four, albeit probably named skyfire
@@PerspectiveEnd how you referring to the g1 character as skyfire, and not jetfire because all of the characters claiming to be jetfire are completely different
I am so happy that this thing was reissued. This has been one of my CHUG grails for a long time and I was unbelievably happy when I found out that BBTS was putting him up for pre-order (even happier when I was recently emailed that the order would be processed soon). Also, no rush, but I feel like a top 10 list for both the best and worst figures of the WFC would do really well.
3:51 That statement was flipped on its head in the most hilarious way possible because of, well, y'know. "They agree with me, THEY AGREE WITH ME" *Perspectives then laughs with unrestrained validation*
Hey PE, I’ve been checking out your older vids as I recently found you while looking for Transformers reviewers. I’m glad to hear you have a positive review of this figure. I missed him first go around, and I’m hoping to pick him up upon the coming rerelease
Sorry it took me so long to respond to this one. Normally I get around to stuff like this on the first day, but I've been working on one of the more intensely hard videos in my channels history this last week, so I was a bit held up. Yeah no this thing is great. I love it. You should check out my WTB Skyfire video. He's in that one too.
This figure definitely makes me question why we’re even getting a masterpiece to begin with. I’ve always wanted to get this guy but always been snubbed with each chance I got. I heard he’s going to be in the SG line, he’s going to be the last figure announced apparently, and if that’s the case, that’s probably gonna be the one I get since I already planned to complete the SG line to begin with.
I don't know what they are thinking with the MP, they could have just upscaled this and retooled it a bit to get the MP version. The SG version will be in Skywarp colors to be clear.
9:25 those are called wing flaps, they're used in order to slow down planes when they are getting ready to land or take off or just reduce the wind being blown at them.
Yeah it took me like a day of constant fiddling to figure that out my self I can't remember what tipped me off, but I remember it being a "Holy Shit" moment.
I knew you'd be positive, but this was above and beyond in praise than usual. I sort of have a headcanon at the moment that he used the name Skyfire when he was a Decepticon, but after changing sides he changed his name to Jetfire, matching the look of the Valkyre toy. Just a way to unify the variants of the character.
Problem is in G1 he was only a Con for about an Afternoon. He woke up from being in a Coma since before the war, and the Decepticons were the ones there so he joined up with them, basically the second he ran into the autobot's he realized they were the good guys and joined up with them.
In IDW comics they always called him Jetfire, in the Italian version he was called "Aquila" ("eagle", back in the day they changed almost all names here, sometimes into other english names for whatever reason) so to me it's Jetfire because it's with the IDW comics I reconnected with the character in my adulthood. Regarding the feel of the plastic, one thing I noticed is that often some sturdy plastics aren't the best-feeling plastics. I'm into spacesims and I remember when discussing joysticks many complained that one of the brands that made particularly solid stuff "felt like a toy" while many of the brands that used more premium-feeling plastic instead had a tendency to either break or getting visibly worn-out in a relatively short time.
That makes sense, I guess the Skyfire Debacle wouldn't be a world wide issue since it's all about American Licensing rights. I love the IDW comics, but I never really remember Jetfire being in them much. Why are you bringing up the plastic. I don't remember talking about that in this video... Man you'd think I'd have a better memory considering it's only a couple days old.
I would like to say this harmony gold had nothing do with sky fires name they only changed his name cause takara didn’t want hasbro advertising a competitors, toy so they made the show model look different from the toy and changed the name so it would be unrelated to the jet fire toy so hasbro’s contract with takara could be kept
I've never heard it told that way, but I wouldn't be surprised that you are right. Though I don't know why calling it a different name was required since that has nothing to do with the Valkyrie toy, regardless if it's Hasbro or Harmony Gold that made the call.
You forgot one thing aside from Harmony Gold suing Hasbro for the Macross design. In Japan, it cannot be sold as Transformers toy (G1 Jetfire/Skyfire) because the original Macross toy was made by Takatoku Toys which is sold (or owned) by Bandai, Takara's (now Takara Tomy) rival and competitor.
Yeah but that wouldn't explain the Name change which was what I was going for. I feel like it's been a really long time since I saw you leave a comment.
I wouldn't really say the OG character had a Duality to him. He was only on the Con's side because he was tricked, and it only lasted like an afternoon.
Hey I have to really thank you on this one in particular I originally wasn't going to get this guy if it was re-released (even when the sg one was revealed) but I decided to get to pick one up and godamn I can't put him down so I really thank you!
This guy is fantastic, easily the best of the commanders if you ask me. Siege had tons of good figures but out of all of them this guy is my favourite, he has such a presence on a shelf.
@@PerspectiveEnd Are you going to be picking up the Skyfire MP that comes out in February? It's fairly expensive but as far as MPs go, 270 aint that bad
9:10 Why is Cyclonus hanging underneath Jetfire with Grimlock, Ultra Magnus, and Optimus Prime when he is one of the Decepticons? Could it be a reference to IDW _More than Meets the Eye_ and _Lost Light_ where he was in a relationship with Tailgate due to the war being over at that point?
It might have been, I don't remember. I think he might have just been one of the figures I had close at hand at the time. It's been 3 years so my memory of making this is a little foggy.
i like to look at the name mind-frickery like this: he was called skyfire before he crashed on earth, and then later changed it to jetfire later on when he joined the autobots
@PerspectiveEnd some of the figures don't look too bad with the battle damage . Depending on their colour scheme I think jet fire looks better without it
I feel like a kid the day before Christmas. I was a broke kid starting my second year of College when I got into collecting Transformers, and ER was already out even if I could afford him. Now I have a bit more liquid cash and with the reissue on Entertainment Earth finally hitting, he's finally arriving tomorrow (Wednesday), rather than May like I expected. Fun fact about Jetfire, due to Europe's different licensing deals, Hasbro couldn't sell Optimus Prime toys until another Company's Diaclone license expired. Thus they needed a leader for the Autobots until they could acquire the rights and chose Jetfire.
Glad I could either summarize your thoughts, or explain something you didn't know, it wasn't clear from what you said which is the reason you appreciated this.
The height you gave skyfire is similar to how I interpreted the double zeta gundam's height. Given the double zeta's bulk and muscular build, I thought that he towered over the nu gundam (which in my interpretation the nu gundam only came up to double zeta's underbelly) the ground combat type, Alex, rx-78-2, zeta, Mark-2 aeug, Mark-2 titans, zephyranthes, phylias, stamen, ez-8, guncannon, guntank, gm1, gm2, gm custom, Rick dias, hyaku shiki, Nemo and other early uc aeug and feddie mobile suits from og to char's counterattack.
I never really realized that Zeta's height is supposed to be more than a normal gundam. Based on all the images I've ever seen of it, it seemed about the same size as normal gundams.
In addition with that harmony gold statement, yet it was that and also the fact that takara couldn't sell the toy so even internally hasbro was compelled to change the toy so thst both of them could profit
My series jetfire is gonna be a former seeker like revenge of the fallen (don’t worry that’s the only inspiration from that version he’s not gonna be hunchbacked or anything) he and starscream both tried to takeout megatron because they both agreed he didn’t have a lot of the cons best interests at heart, however he found out starscreams plan for them gaining leadership would sacrifice lives in the process, megatron found out about this plan and tried to execute both of them but the autobots saved jetfire, though afterwords jetfire was teleported to earth in the ice age and was thawed out either but human researchers or global warming
Man, seeing you doing a review on this figure made it look easy, then I did my review, and while I do like the figure, it was really hard to film because of how big he is
I absolutely love this mold once I got it! I preordered it years ago so I got the first wave of figures, and have admired it ever since. I still regret not getting another one when I saw it for $50 on Amazon. But I did get the Shattered Glass version, BUT I've been an SG fan for YEARS, so I know all about the FunPub lore along with the short IDW one. My arm blades make him look soooo complete too though.
Nice. I had the SG version preordered but then Hasbro Pulse had an aneurism and they just slowly canceled all my preorders over the course of several months.
@@PerspectiveEnd OUCH. That's messed up man. Target, Walmart, Pulse, and even Amazon have really been sketchy on their preorders in the last couple years. After Amazon cancelled my medic pack I've been shopping there less. I mean it's bad enough that they sticker up or put our packages through a gang initiation beatdown before delivering it to us, but the cancellations are just BRUTAL :/
Found one of these this year at a eb games for less than msrp, it's amazing, my one problem is the arm transformation feels unfun but other than that its amazing
9:10 i will never understand why the giant tyrannosaur man had the power to fly. That kinda makes Swoop useless, why have a flying pterosaur when the trex guy could drop himself of the clouds like a tactiacal nuke.
I always liked that my self, Swoop didn't need to be special, is Sludge Special, is Snarl, or Slag Special. No they are all as deadly as each other, because they are all built with every weapon Wheeljack could give them.
The armor looks good, wish they just add the antennas on the helmet, I mean they did it for generations so it should be no problem, I also find the visor to be a bit off, I always see his visor as like a wide V shape or arrow shape, kinda like what the toy version of bumblebee was going for, I also heard cyberverse might be in legacy and if any character from that show should be in that line, it's jetfire, I mean they managed to make the skyfire design look cool in my eyes, sure it's not exact but close enough, maybe it could be a retool or maybe a new mold to fit at a scale to fit with the cyberverse deluxes because honestly I would buy a cyberverse deluxe jetfire if I had money and a drivers licence, man wasn't the cyberverse cartoon good from S2 and onwards
I think they weren't going for the actual Valkyrie design, just like that Heavy Pack or what ever it was called, and they really only wanted to be Reminiscent of it.
Given that off-white paint seems to be what's covering Sky Lynx's heatshield & most of Skyfire's (I make that distinction, too) ends up on the bottom of his altmode, I think it's supposed to also be heatshielding for Skyfire.
Just got the shattered glass version and it’s just magnificent, love the gimmicks on it. Also I saw a rodimus prime for $70 and I was wondering if you think that’s a good price?
Idk if they will again, but this past year, Amazon had it on sale for a bit for only $45. If the deal isn't going away any time soon, it might be worth keeping an eye on those sites or even mercari/eBay as that sale led to people selling the figure a lot cheaper due to reduced demand.
When it comes to my version of this character. It's like he has 2 sparks. Giving him 2 personalities. Skyfire (the show character) the scientist and jetfire the warior. Jetfire is a little unhinged and will attack his own team if it means his agenda is filled
just got him today, honestly surprised for this price point how much they used to pack with him. I mean he is my biggest figure now and yet has all this other stuff with him
Sad to say so far they haven't. Skylynx was really cool but his tolerances were terrible, a Rodimus... Well lets not talk about him. I just hope as Commander Combiners become a thing the Knock it out of the park.
I got this guy just the other day. Phenomenal figure, so much fun and a fantastic display piece, I've got Buzzworthy Bumblebee and Spike sitting on his shoulders while pumping a fist in the air and goddamn does he look cool. Even the fanmade combined mode with Optimus is fun. Took me a while to figure out you have to pull his side skirts forward to pop out the handles on his hips. The only reason he doesn't beat out SS86 Grimlock as my favorite of my collection is simply because I love Grimlock that much, but damn, it is a CLOSE race.
@PerspectiveEnd The mishap on the face is theres a little blue dot on the right nose . It is very obvious coz hes got a silver chrome face. Also, the blue paint on his middle head goes beyond to the white helmet/head. Can this be fixed by gundam pen? Or need like Bosnys chrome spray? 🙃
Hi there, this is PE's brother. Gundam pens are good tools, but getting a perfect color match is going to be a matter of luck. The spray is probably a bad idea, they tend to gum up areas with fine detail, including faces. Another thing you can try is gently scraping off the paint. For the face, to avoid damaging the silver, I would try using a sharpened popsicle stick, and you could pretty safely use a metal tool or a blade for the ridge on his helmet, as the underlying color is just the plastic. Either way, the first thing you should do is examine the blue dot to see if it has created a raised area. If it has, you'll still be able to see it even if you paint over it. If its nice and flat, painting over it would be your safest option, if it's raised then you would need to scrape it. In the end you may have to lightly sand the area with a nail buffer, and then apply some metallic paint, either from a Gundam pen or model/mini paint. (If you dont have a nail buffer, you can find them at the dollar store.) Feel free to ask more questions if you don't feel comfortable tackling the project with just this information.
@@PerspectiveEnd What actually happened was bad. I tried to spray paint the nose area coz just to cover the blue dot, and the result was like a thick chrome paint on his nose. I should have waited patiently and did some more research anyways. Thanks for the instructions sir! Do you think i can still remove that chrome paint?
@PE's brother thanks sir for the advice... Just wanna share, . @PerspectiveEnd What actually happened was bad.

Growing up, I just called him Jetfire, I didn't watch the episode of the G1 cartoon he was in where he was referred to as "Skyfire." Plus, most Transformers media just called him Jetfire, even if they were nothing alike. Also, based off your descriptions as a kid of Jetfire/Skyfire being the "biggest thing ever!" Makes me kinda want an MP scaled titan that can fit all of the MP characters and feel like a real base. Impossible, maybe. But, I'd love to see it. His design in Stormbringer is still my favorite to this day.
The one in Stormbringer is a heavily Coolified version of his Classics toy. He was actually called Skyfire for all of G1 not just 1 episode. I've always wondered why no titans fold out like a Mighty Max playset.
My headcanon for his name: As a Decepticon, his name was Jetfire, but when he joined the Autobots, he changed his name to Skyfire, similar to what Deadlock/Drift did

An alternate idea would be for the scientist versions of the character to be called Skyfire while the other ones are Jetfire
@@PerspectiveEnd least drift was somewhat better, least he wasn’t told he was on the wrong side and went “ok, I believe you.”
@@RedFlame796 That works to yes.

The moving parts on the wings are called ailerons, they allow the aircraft to adjust lift and altitude.

I just love that their function is also incorporated into his transformation for a more skyfire profile in bot mode.

Perfect, love every aspect of this figure. This and Skylinx really worth of the Commander Class. Unlike "the choosen one" figure
Indeed. This really set a high standard that they almost immediately failed to live up to.

@@PerspectiveEnd In that case, what about "The week of the Big Boi: Fly Boi".
@@PerspectiveEnd Could go with "Screw Harmony Gold Week"
This figure looks absolutely stunning. It’s just no fun trying to find one for a good price on the aftermarket.
I know. It was hard to find these things in the first place, I can only imagine how difficult it is now that they aren't in stores any more.

It also justify his bigger height too.
You know I didn't think of it as a missed opportunity to use his back pack as a back pack until now. As for the other Jetfire stuff.
Those are just completely different characters so I think it's fine for them to be different scales.
I have had 2 separate dreams about finding this thing, than waking up, and feeling disappointment
Jetfire’s alt mode is what Optimus would chose as his jet mode if he wasn’t a truck driver
I feel like SKYfire's altmode is just the Trucker equivalent of a space shuttle.

@@PerspectiveEnd good to know. commander class really seems like a big step up from leader but so far alot of them don't interest me or have 1 flaw (Magnus's thighs being restricted) that keep me away from them
The week of A Sky, A Jet, and A Firr
A Douglas firr.
6:18 is this a callback to combiner wars Starscream
I mean it's just what I say when talking about light piping.
And hey man where have you been, you haven't commented in like 2 months.
I got an online reissue of this guy for retail price and now he's my second favourite commander.
My personal ranking is:
1, Ultra magnus (I found him for voyager price)
2, Skyfire (The biggest and most chunky out of the ones I own)
3, Magmatron (Dinosaur orgy)
4, Armada prime (pretty great)
5, Rodimus (pretty good)
6, Motomaster (only good for menasor)
I don't own Skylinx or SS86 prime.
DAAAAMN How did you get magnus for Voyager?
Sadly I don't even think Motormaster is good for Mensor any more because the last two members of the team suck so bad.
Glad you are enjoying Skyfire so much.
@@PerspectiveEnd One of my local stores needed to get rid of excess stock after Christmas.
If you were to make an new incarnation of skyfire how would you write him, both in backstory and personality
Personally I'd keep him the same, if it's supposed to be a new incarnation of the same dude. Weirdly large over built scientist, who accidentally missed out on the whole war and has to come to terms with discovering it happened in his absence.
Animated jetfire: wasn’t trying to be it was a trademark thing, I’m sure a proper version of the character would have appeared in season four, albeit probably named skyfire
What is this in response to? It's been so long since I made the video.
@@PerspectiveEnd how you referring to the g1 character as skyfire, and not jetfire because all of the characters claiming to be jetfire are completely different
I am so happy that this thing was reissued. This has been one of my CHUG grails for a long time and I was unbelievably happy when I found out that BBTS was putting him up for pre-order (even happier when I was recently emailed that the order would be processed soon).
Also, no rush, but I feel like a top 10 list for both the best and worst figures of the WFC would do really well.
NICE! Congratulations. I'd not heard the reissue was happening already.
That could be cool yes.
3:51
That statement was flipped on its head in the most hilarious way possible because of, well, y'know.
"They agree with me, THEY AGREE WITH ME"
*Perspectives then laughs with unrestrained validation*
came here after hearing of the reissue of that guy.
I’m so happy there’s a reissue of this figure releasing.
As am I. You guys deserve another chance at it.
Hey PE, I’ve been checking out your older vids as I recently found you while looking for Transformers reviewers.
I’m glad to hear you have a positive review of this figure. I missed him first go around, and I’m hoping to pick him up upon the coming rerelease
Sorry it took me so long to respond to this one. Normally I get around to stuff like this on the first day, but I've been working on one of the more intensely hard videos in my channels history this last week, so I was a bit held up.
Yeah no this thing is great. I love it. You should check out my WTB Skyfire video. He's in that one too.
Cyberverse jetfire: it is I jetfire, you cannot hide your terrible villiany from my justice coward!
Yeah cyberverse jetfire is just silverbolt
Huh... Yeah perhaps a bit.
This figure definitely makes me question why we’re even getting a masterpiece to begin with.
I’ve always wanted to get this guy but always been snubbed with each chance I got. I heard he’s going to be in the SG line, he’s going to be the last figure announced apparently, and if that’s the case, that’s probably gonna be the one I get since I already planned to complete the SG line to begin with.
I don't know what they are thinking with the MP, they could have just upscaled this and retooled it a bit to get the MP version.
The SG version will be in Skywarp colors to be clear.
@@PerspectiveEnd I’m perfectly fine with that, I love skywarp’s colors
9:25 those are called wing flaps, they're used in order to slow down planes when they are getting ready to land or take off or just reduce the wind being blown at them.
Wing flaps are different. These are apparently called Ailerons, and they are what steers the plane up and down.
@@PerspectiveEnd Ahhh, I knew I may have gotten it mixed up, I should have known.
Had this guy for like 2 years. Only now I discover that the long missles can disassemble into 2 separate guns. Thank you my friend!
Yeah it took me like a day of constant fiddling to figure that out my self I can't remember what tipped me off, but I remember it being a "Holy Shit" moment.
I knew you'd be positive, but this was above and beyond in praise than usual. I sort of have a headcanon at the moment that he used the name Skyfire when he was a Decepticon, but after changing sides he changed his name to Jetfire, matching the look of the Valkyre toy. Just a way to unify the variants of the character.
Problem is in G1 he was only a Con for about an Afternoon. He woke up from being in a Coma since before the war, and the Decepticons were the ones there so he joined up with them, basically the second he ran into the autobot's he realized they were the good guys and joined up with them.
In IDW comics they always called him Jetfire, in the Italian version he was called "Aquila" ("eagle", back in the day they changed almost all names here, sometimes into other english names for whatever reason) so to me it's Jetfire because it's with the IDW comics I reconnected with the character in my adulthood.
Regarding the feel of the plastic, one thing I noticed is that often some sturdy plastics aren't the best-feeling plastics. I'm into spacesims and I remember when discussing joysticks many complained that one of the brands that made particularly solid stuff "felt like a toy" while many of the brands that used more premium-feeling plastic instead had a tendency to either break or getting visibly worn-out in a relatively short time.
That makes sense, I guess the Skyfire Debacle wouldn't be a world wide issue since it's all about American Licensing rights.
I love the IDW comics, but I never really remember Jetfire being in them much.
Why are you bringing up the plastic. I don't remember talking about that in this video... Man you'd think I'd have a better memory considering it's only a couple days old.
@@PerspectiveEnd You talked about the plastic used for the shoulders.
What do you think of cyberverses take on jetfire
I never got far enough into Cyberverse to really see him.
Just got the reissue. I fucking love this shit.
Oh? It's out now! Excellent! I'm glad you are so happy with it.
@@PerspectiveEnd and not yellowed, too!
what should his earth mode be
I don't think he should have one honestly. He's too big for them.
I'm hoping to get him or his Shattered Glass version from Comic-Con end of October in London
Best of luck, I think if you can find one you will love it.
I would like to say this harmony gold had nothing do with sky fires name they only changed his name cause takara didn’t want hasbro advertising a competitors, toy so they made the show model look different from the toy and changed the name so it would be unrelated to the jet fire toy so hasbro’s contract with takara could be kept
I've never heard it told that way, but I wouldn't be surprised that you are right. Though I don't know why calling it a different name was required since that has nothing to do with the Valkyrie toy, regardless if it's Hasbro or Harmony Gold that made the call.
You forgot one thing aside from Harmony Gold suing Hasbro for the Macross design.
In Japan, it cannot be sold as Transformers toy (G1 Jetfire/Skyfire) because the original Macross toy was made by Takatoku Toys which is sold (or owned) by Bandai, Takara's (now Takara Tomy) rival and competitor.
Yeah but that wouldn't explain the Name change which was what I was going for.
I feel like it's been a really long time since I saw you leave a comment.
@@PerspectiveEnd
It really was a long time, but I'll always be around checking your stuff anytime.
The flipable insignia is the best part for me, really does a good job showing the duality of the character
I wouldn't really say the OG character had a Duality to him. He was only on the Con's side because he was tricked, and it only lasted like an afternoon.
Hey I have to really thank you on this one in particular I originally wasn't going to get this guy if it was re-released (even when the sg one was revealed) but I decided to get to pick one up and godamn I can't put him down so I really thank you!
I'm stoked to hear that I conviced you to grab this awesome thing. It's so much fun.
This guy is fantastic, easily the best of the commanders if you ask me. Siege had tons of good figures but out of all of them this guy is my favourite, he has such a presence on a shelf.
I agree with everything you just said. Absolutely. He is the best of the Commanders, and my favorite of Siege, which had a ton of absolute stunners.
This guy is getting a reissue in January 2023, one of the best figures Hasbro has ever made
Indeed it is, and I'm happy for all the people getting a fresh chance at him.
@@PerspectiveEnd Are you going to be picking up the Skyfire MP that comes out in February? It's fairly expensive but as far as MPs go, 270 aint that bad
My head cannon for his name is that he doesn't care enough to correct anyone so he just rolls with both because he has more important things to do
The thing is Jetfire is really only Associated with the UT Guy, and Skyfire is Associated with this guy. And they are not the same dude.
9:10 Why is Cyclonus hanging underneath Jetfire with Grimlock, Ultra Magnus, and Optimus Prime when he is one of the Decepticons?
Could it be a reference to IDW _More than Meets the Eye_ and _Lost Light_ where he was in a relationship with Tailgate due to the war being over at that point?
It might have been, I don't remember. I think he might have just been one of the figures I had close at hand at the time. It's been 3 years so my memory of making this is a little foggy.
i like to look at the name mind-frickery like this: he was called skyfire before he crashed on earth, and then later changed it to jetfire later on when he joined the autobots
I don't like doing that, because Jetfire is a name so associated with Armada, it's it's own dude.
Ever noticed that animated starscreams wings are on backwards in vehcile mode
Yep picked up the reissue at Comic-Con is an absolute beast and he doesn't seem to have any of the battle damage from the original
So how do you like the figure without the Battle damage?
@PerspectiveEnd some of the figures don't look too bad with the battle damage . Depending on their colour scheme I think jet fire looks better without it
The way how you briefly fanboyed around Skyfire is the same way how I fan boy over my first transformer toy (Movie Optimus) back on 2009 XD
Glad I could dredge up those memories for you.
I feel like a kid the day before Christmas. I was a broke kid starting my second year of College when I got into collecting Transformers, and ER was already out even if I could afford him. Now I have a bit more liquid cash and with the reissue on Entertainment Earth finally hitting, he's finally arriving tomorrow (Wednesday), rather than May like I expected.
Fun fact about Jetfire, due to Europe's different licensing deals, Hasbro couldn't sell Optimus Prime toys until another Company's Diaclone license expired. Thus they needed a leader for the Autobots until they could acquire the rights and chose Jetfire.
Finally, an intro of why Jetfire and Skyfire are different and not the same. Thank God for you P.E.
Glad I could either summarize your thoughts, or explain something you didn't know, it wasn't clear from what you said which is the reason you appreciated this.
The height you gave skyfire is similar to how I interpreted the double zeta gundam's height. Given the double zeta's bulk and muscular build, I thought that he towered over the nu gundam (which in my interpretation the nu gundam only came up to double zeta's underbelly) the ground combat type, Alex, rx-78-2, zeta, Mark-2 aeug, Mark-2 titans, zephyranthes, phylias, stamen, ez-8, guncannon, guntank, gm1, gm2, gm custom, Rick dias, hyaku shiki, Nemo and other early uc aeug and feddie mobile suits from og to char's counterattack.
I never really realized that Zeta's height is supposed to be more than a normal gundam. Based on all the images I've ever seen of it, it seemed about the same size as normal gundams.
*slaps the alt-mode
this bad boy can fit so much fucking autobot in it
I forgot that meme existed. That was a Good one.
Well now i know who will win in the what's the best of wfc line lol
I mean he's my favorite? Does that make him "The Best"? I do try to not let my biases change the outcome of those.
I mean he's my favorite? Does that make him "The Best"? I do try to not let my biases change the outcome of those.
Well can't blame ya. This figure is just so good
In addition with that harmony gold statement, yet it was that and also the fact that takara couldn't sell the toy so even internally hasbro was compelled to change the toy so thst both of them could profit
My series jetfire is gonna be a former seeker like revenge of the fallen (don’t worry that’s the only inspiration from that version he’s not gonna be hunchbacked or anything) he and starscream both tried to takeout megatron because they both agreed he didn’t have a lot of the cons best interests at heart, however he found out starscreams plan for them gaining leadership would sacrifice lives in the process, megatron found out about this plan and tried to execute both of them but the autobots saved jetfire, though afterwords jetfire was teleported to earth in the ice age and was thawed out either but human researchers or global warming
Well seeker implies that he has the Starscream body type, as seeker isn't just a Decepticon jetformer.
Man, seeing you doing a review on this figure made it look easy, then I did my review, and while I do like the figure, it was really hard to film because of how big he is
Oh believe me it SUCKED working on this, having to reach my arms so much for everything was exhausting, and getting what I needed in frame was a PAIN.
Im pretty sure they’re just called wing flaps
I just looked it up, and apparently they are called ailerons.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh, neat
Pre-order the re-issue of this figure a couple days ago can’t wait to get it
I'm so glad they are doing that for all the people who never got a chance.
Saved up to get this guy by this review! Super excited!
Oh really? Nice. I expect that you will enjoy it quite a bit.
@@PerspectiveEnd As a fellow Siege > ER advocate I feel like your high praises are worth taking. Plus, he just looks awesome. And big!!
I absolutely love this mold once I got it! I preordered it years ago so I got the first wave of figures, and have admired it ever since. I still regret not getting another one when I saw it for $50 on Amazon. But I did get the Shattered Glass version, BUT I've been an SG fan for YEARS, so I know all about the FunPub lore along with the short IDW one. My arm blades make him look soooo complete too though.
Nice. I had the SG version preordered but then Hasbro Pulse had an aneurism and they just slowly canceled all my preorders over the course of several months.
@@PerspectiveEnd OUCH. That's messed up man. Target, Walmart, Pulse, and even Amazon have really been sketchy on their preorders in the last couple years. After Amazon cancelled my medic pack I've been shopping there less. I mean it's bad enough that they sticker up or put our packages through a gang initiation beatdown before delivering it to us, but the cancellations are just BRUTAL :/
The extra armour is a reference to the IDW comics
I don't remember him ever looking like that in IDW?
I feel like in the modern day just to crap on whats left of harmony gold hasbro likes to sneek in valkry esk componets for thier jetfire/skyfire toys
I couldn't get this, I pre-ordered the shattered version, at least...
Its a great figure, it's unfortunate that you couldn't get the original, but I expect you will love the SG version as well.
Found one of these this year at a eb games for less than msrp, it's amazing, my one problem is the arm transformation feels unfun but other than that its amazing
That rocks dude. What don't you like about the arms.
I got the shattered glass one and it has no light pipping in the eyes but it has it for the little head thingy
Interesting, I did not expect them to take away only half of that feature at any point.
9:10 i will never understand why the giant tyrannosaur man had the power to fly. That kinda makes Swoop useless, why have a flying pterosaur when the trex guy could drop himself of the clouds like a tactiacal nuke.
I always liked that my self, Swoop didn't need to be special, is Sludge Special, is Snarl, or Slag Special. No they are all as deadly as each other, because they are all built with every weapon Wheeljack could give them.
If I was to crap on the concept of light piping... I would have to have chipotle for breakfast lunch and dinner.
That's a great quote. Thank you.
Because of what you said about your childhood head canon, I may add Skyfire into my transformers fan fic as a new Autobot Titan.
Feel free. I always loved the idea that Skyfire wasn't just a bit larger than normal.
The armor looks good, wish they just add the antennas on the helmet, I mean they did it for generations so it should be no problem, I also find the visor to be a bit off, I always see his visor as like a wide V shape or arrow shape, kinda like what the toy version of bumblebee was going for, I also heard cyberverse might be in legacy and if any character from that show should be in that line, it's jetfire, I mean they managed to make the skyfire design look cool in my eyes, sure it's not exact but close enough, maybe it could be a retool or maybe a new mold to fit at a scale to fit with the cyberverse deluxes because honestly I would buy a cyberverse deluxe jetfire if I had money and a drivers licence, man wasn't the cyberverse cartoon good from S2 and onwards
I think they weren't going for the actual Valkyrie design, just like that Heavy Pack or what ever it was called, and they really only wanted to be Reminiscent of it.
Given that off-white paint seems to be what's covering Sky Lynx's heatshield & most of Skyfire's (I make that distinction, too) ends up on the bottom of his altmode, I think it's supposed to also be heatshielding for Skyfire.
That could make sense. I still wish he was just a Pristine white.
I’m pretty sure most wide angle lens kits break down into macro lenses too. At least, every wide angle video lens _I’ve_ ever had.
I did not know that. I was planning on buying a Macro on it's own, so this was an awesome treat for me.
@@PerspectiveEnd I had the same pleasant surprise, twice!
The fire in the week
Great video 👌👍🤙🤟✌👏🇲🇽⭐
That's an interesting suggestion.
A 4 foot Fortress Maximus? That is compensating for something. Also, love the Seige skyfire
Yeah, it will be impressive, but I don't see how that's going to be enjoyable to handle in any way.
I may be getting an earthrise Optimus and I love that figure (had it once it broke )
Sorry to hear about your old one, but hey if you love it, I'm just glad you are getting something you know you love.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah
Skyfire just sounds better in general
I think so too.
Just got the shattered glass version and it’s just magnificent, love the gimmicks on it. Also I saw a rodimus prime for $70 and I was wondering if you think that’s a good price?
That's a pretty good price, I usually recommended people grab that for 65 if they can, so 70 is reasonable.
Idk if they will again, but this past year, Amazon had it on sale for a bit for only $45. If the deal isn't going away any time soon, it might be worth keeping an eye on those sites or even mercari/eBay as that sale led to people selling the figure a lot cheaper due to reduced demand.
When it comes to my version of this character. It's like he has 2 sparks. Giving him 2 personalities. Skyfire (the show character) the scientist and jetfire the warior. Jetfire is a little unhinged and will attack his own team if it means his agenda is filled
Or you could just reconcile it as them being two different characters.
@@PerspectiveEnd that too.
I love the history lesson on jetfire I also want this a ton
Happy to educate you.
@@PerspectiveEnd lol
That intro is just so informative!🤔
Glad to hear it, I was worried it'd bore people.
@@PerspectiveEnd nah your style doesn't makes anything in your videos boring!
Skyfire looks amazing almost perfect to me, definitly getting this guy when I can afford him
Hope you can find one when that time comes. It was always hard to get a hold of even when it should have been on shelves.
7 left on amazon... idk if they restock or not
just got him today, honestly surprised for this price point how much they used to pack with him. I mean he is my biggest figure now and yet has all this other stuff with him
I'm glad to hear you are so pleased with it.
After my house burnt down about a month ago and with my leftover insurance I bought this
I'm so sorry about your house. I don't know that a Skyfire is a worth while recompense.
@@PerspectiveEnd he’s something I’m only getting with a little of my money
So glad I was able to get this guy, definitely a good way to kick off commander class. Let's hope the future of the class can live up to this.
Sad to say so far they haven't. Skylynx was really cool but his tolerances were terrible, a Rodimus... Well lets not talk about him.
I just hope as Commander Combiners become a thing the Knock it out of the park.
I really love skyfire’s charcter in G1, but in siege, he just felt like that’s he HAD to be in there.
How do you mean?
@@PerspectiveEnd He means Skyfire/Jetfire is just there for the sake of it not for understandable reason.
@@devilishprime1987 I took the exact opposite meaning. Like the show would be incomplete without him,
@@PerspectiveEnd Oh all right sorry about that.
@@PerspectiveEnd it felt like his character was very forced.
Jetfire’s big rifle vaguely reminds of the twin buster rifle from gundam wing
I got this guy just the other day. Phenomenal figure, so much fun and a fantastic display piece, I've got Buzzworthy Bumblebee and Spike sitting on his shoulders while pumping a fist in the air and goddamn does he look cool. Even the fanmade combined mode with Optimus is fun. Took me a while to figure out you have to pull his side skirts forward to pop out the handles on his hips. The only reason he doesn't beat out SS86 Grimlock as my favorite of my collection is simply because I love Grimlock that much, but damn, it is a CLOSE race.
That's how good he is, he requires some other FANTASTIC figure to be your favorite to lose.
9:08 Eeexcuse me while I just ruin this for everyone. Achem...
*_Fortshite glider._*
Ahh, I kind of get it.
I want to see them recolor this into jetstorm. I know he looks nothing like beast machines jetstorm, but they share a body design in animated
@PerspectiveEnd The mishap on the face is theres a little blue dot on the right nose . It is very obvious coz hes got a silver chrome face. Also, the blue paint on his middle head goes beyond to the white helmet/head. Can this be fixed by gundam pen? Or need like Bosnys chrome spray? 🙃
Hi there, this is PE's brother. Gundam pens are good tools, but getting a perfect color match is going to be a matter of luck. The spray is probably a bad idea, they tend to gum up areas with fine detail, including faces.
Another thing you can try is gently scraping off the paint. For the face, to avoid damaging the silver, I would try using a sharpened popsicle stick, and you could pretty safely use a metal tool or a blade for the ridge on his helmet, as the underlying color is just the plastic.
Either way, the first thing you should do is examine the blue dot to see if it has created a raised area. If it has, you'll still be able to see it even if you paint over it. If its nice and flat, painting over it would be your safest option, if it's raised then you would need to scrape it.
In the end you may have to lightly sand the area with a nail buffer, and then apply some metallic paint, either from a Gundam pen or model/mini paint. (If you dont have a nail buffer, you can find them at the dollar store.)
Feel free to ask more questions if you don't feel comfortable tackling the project with just this information.
@@PerspectiveEnd What actually happened was bad. I tried to spray paint the nose area coz just to cover the blue dot, and the result was like a thick chrome paint on his nose. I should have waited patiently and did some more research anyways. Thanks for the instructions sir! Do you think i can still remove that chrome paint?
@PE's brother thanks sir for the advice... Just wanna share, .

When Commander Class was amazing
Indeed it was.
I swear I'd seen this video before but maybe it was only the best of skyfire. Either way I never knew he had a waist swivel and I've had him for years
Happy to have revealed this waist technology to you.
Growing up, I just called him Jetfire, I didn't watch the episode of the G1 cartoon he was in where he was referred to as "Skyfire." Plus, most Transformers media just called him Jetfire, even if they were nothing alike.
Also, based off your descriptions as a kid of Jetfire/Skyfire being the "biggest thing ever!" Makes me kinda want an MP scaled titan that can fit all of the MP characters and feel like a real base. Impossible, maybe. But, I'd love to see it.
His design in Stormbringer is still my favorite to this day.
The one in Stormbringer is a heavily Coolified version of his Classics toy.
He was actually called Skyfire for all of G1 not just 1 episode.
I've always wondered why no titans fold out like a Mighty Max playset.
All my homies hate Harmony Gold
This figure was my Second siege, figure
First, being siege, Optimus
Those are two great firsts.
All I can think about now is skyfire absolutely _chucking_ a tiny omega supreme fastball special style across a battle field
Lmfao
I read that as Cucking tiny Omega Supreme, and had my self a good laugh.
