wait...... the heel spurs are the middle fingers and they are basically the same mold from the waist down (robot mode wise).... you can make him flip someone off!!
I NEED these guys in a modern build. They're just so unique and I'm shocked more divide combiners haven't been done this way. They toys are very good, but may suffer from CPS, so a modernized incarnation, third party or not, I would LOVE.
I wish hasbro would revamp these guys for generations into the idw line these guys would have been perfect for combiner wars imagine a revamp with a more G1 esthetic there primary color being a grayish white with blue/orange accents and to avoid confusion there names would be jetburst and jetstorm there altmodes could be a bit more refined and could combine into a x wing type jet with the mets forming the wings...SOMEONE TELL THIS TO THE WINDBLADE WRITERS
This was my favourite toy when I was little! Just got it out of my old transformers box and started messing around with it. I find that it looks great beside sentinel prime.
i find it kinda amazing that jetfire has _two_ different shades of translucent plastic. typically, most modern tfs can only afford 1 color, leading to cancelled lightpiping in cases where the plastic doesnt match up with the eye color.
Similar cases from different transforming robot series is Luckypunch in Hello Carbot, but have only one vehicle mode, like reflector (but camera). In robot mode, Luckypunch is divided into two different robot, such as Lucky (Cyan) and Punch (Orange). Like Safeguard, Luckypunch can become united again with another form as Dokkaebi mode, which Lucky as lower part and Punch as higher part. So, Lucky like Jetstorm and Punch like Jetfire.
This is one of my top five figures that I want to get but never found and can't afford now. I really love the look of the robot modes and of Safeguard, and I dig how unique they are. Great review.
You didn't finish that sentence. They were the first Autobots capable of transforming INTO FLYING VEHICLES. Jetfire and Jetstorm are far too young to be the first transforming Autobots since obviously characters like Ratchet had alt modes long before they were ever created. Though there is still a continuity error with that as technically Omega Supreme existed before they did as well but that could probably be explained away as he wasn't rebuilt into a ship until after the war.
technically they were the first ones capable of flight also the only problem i had with this set was my jetstorm's arm broke on the ball joint thirdly, im surprized there isnt a gekiryugin recolor of this guy for botcon or TFCC
I have this set. I was trying to transform Jetstorm, and his leg snapped off. luckily I got two. I can't remember why. It is a good thing, as I can fix my Jetstorm, unlike my ROTF Scavenger, who lirteraly broke in half. but he is fixable. Jetstorm is my favourite twin
but, do they have "heels" on his combiner hands? because they still could use those in their individual robot modes they always were a pretty cool idea, i even though a better vehicle mode
👋☺️😎👍 yeah I have these two twins fresh in the Box I also have most of the Transformer animated I think I'm missing about eight or ten from the whole series ✌️😉😋👍
do you think their could be a market for some third party or 3d printed non-transparent replacement parts for needlessly/stress bearing transparent pieces in older toys like these?
Great review, TJ! :) And did you say "theme week"? I love theme weeks! Hm, there aren't that much TF toys that can't be apart. The only toys I can think of are the pink Skids and Mudflap who combine into an ice cream truck. But surprise us! You're good at that. :)
Very nice review. You mentioned at one point how hard it is to get four modes out of one toy, which made me think of another animated toy who attempted just that- Shockwave. I know that opinions are divided on him, but I can't be the only person who would be interested in yours, if you had the time.
oh I know it will be great and I just can't wait to see the bot you are together if you give it a chance(because you can!), because you are a giant robot!
i wonder if can Lego one of these guys... not the biggest fan of safeguard's desgn but indivdually these where probably my favorite characters from the series!
I wonder of anyone had considered or tried replacement opaque plastic parts for the critical translucent joints in this guy(s). There's a possibility of a 2017 re-release but that's pure guesswork on my part. It would make sense though, as Takara and Hasbro basically did that for the BW anniversary, but petitioning and DVD sales wouldn't hurt. ;) Also would have loved a more G1 color scheme to Jetfire, which could have worked with Jetstorm in Beast Machines deco, as both palettes contain a similar shade of red... ...though that would have lost the charm of their individual pallettes when separate. Ah well.
Hi Tj. I enjoyed this one it's a neat pair. While we are on the subject of combiners I was wondering if you could help me out with something. See I'm a big fan of the Fuzor/Mutant line. I recently discovered Magmatron. I really love what I've seen of him and would like to own him but I hear he is worth a pretty penny. If memory serves me in one of your videos I saw him in the background. Do you still have him? If so would you mind reviewing him so I can see if he is worth the effort in hunting me down? It would help me a lot. Thanks for reading. -Xenos

Its less as necessary to use as much as Killbison needs a articulated hand for flipping people off you have to get the joke
"They were the first autobots capable of transforming"
i laughed my ass off
I think he meant "the first Autobots that can fly"
I NEED these guys in a modern build.
They're just so unique and I'm shocked more divide combiners haven't been done this way.
They toys are very good, but may suffer from CPS, so a modernized incarnation, third party or not, I would LOVE.
Symmetrical Docking needs to be in Transformers more often.

Here’s some punctuation, looks like you could use it.
...,,,...,,,...,,,
Or Skyfire and Skystorm
I concur, a tfa masterpiece line would fill a void in this world. These dorks deserve better than obscurity
You meant 'first Autobot to transform into flying alt modes' right?
I hope he ment that XD
I hope you meant to say “meant” instead of “ment”
What about Powerglide?
I think so, Optimus immediately attacked them because at this point in the series, flying bot means Decepticon.
In animated, maybe. That title could go to scattershot in all of transformer history. Maybe one of the micro masters.
a piece of the Safeguard hands folds out and creates heel spurs.
Wait for it...
Watch the video

This was definitely some designer's pet project, the vibes are different from the rest of the line
I like the fact that the heel spurs are the middle fingers. It's like they're swearing at you for missing it XD

Madre mía MICRO qué haces aquí compañero
Googled "symmetrical docking" to see what you were talking about and got something totally different from what I was expecting in Google images.
Make sure to search takara brave symmetrical docking...
Don Juan cannot unsee
Finally someone who is on the same page as I am. 😅
Man I remember having these guys. They were awesome.
they still are :D
they were the first aircraft autobots not the first transforming transformers, that and jetstorm is lightning themed not ice themed
Yeah besides the first cybertronian to transform was amalgamas prime
This is one of my top five figures that I want to get but never found and can't afford now. I really love the look of the robot modes and of Safeguard, and I dig how unique they are. Great review.
I always thought they where a homage to bullet hell spaceships. The Kikaider part is obvious at least
I can't believe not too many people have referenced this...
*Now, count up your crimes!*
ZeroTaku OMG yes they totally remind me of double(W)
Heat! Trigger!
The alt mode(s) remind me of Battlestar Galactica and something from the Wipeout games...aaaaand Titans Return Galvatron's jet mode.
I wish it was jetfire and skyfire but jetstorm is more understanding
Kieran JSL Jetstorm was from Beast Machines but he was actually Silverbolt which was a character from Beast Wars
I could totally see them doing the fusion dance to combine. The movements line up almost perfectly lol
“Blue and gold work so well”
*happy Wolverine noises*
You didn't finish that sentence. They were the first Autobots capable of transforming INTO FLYING VEHICLES.

prob because the autobots beside a few didn't consider teh omega sentinals to be actual cybertronians just weapons
I think these 2 were inspired by the symmetrical brothers of gaogaigar.
19:19 You forgot Ultra Raker from Yuusha Exkaiser (Brave Exkaiser)
this combined looks like the mech from the Playstation one game omega boost.
they have flip out heel spurs
20:25 is it just me or is the right side of the face slightly higher than the left side
Toys not to be reviewed apart? Runabout and Runamuck perhaps?
technically they were the first ones capable of flight
also the only problem i had with this set was my jetstorm's arm broke on the ball joint
thirdly, im surprized there isnt a gekiryugin recolor of this guy for botcon or TFCC
I have this set. I was trying to transform Jetstorm, and his leg snapped off. luckily I got two. I can't remember why. It is a good thing, as I can fix my Jetstorm, unlike my ROTF Scavenger, who lirteraly broke in half. but he is fixable. Jetstorm is my favourite twin
19:01 Also, yes, Batman fans, it IS Two-Face...
but, do they have "heels" on his combiner hands? because they still could use those in their individual robot modes
they always were a pretty cool idea, i even though a better vehicle mode
I remember as a child I saw the commercial for this and wanted it but never got it I hope they make a new affordable version of them
The legs remind me of a gundam transformation
👋☺️😎👍 yeah I have these two twins fresh in the Box I also have most of the Transformer animated I think I'm missing about eight or ten from the whole series ✌️😉😋👍
I loved that toy as a kid it was my favorite animated toy
there are heels.there in the big fists
I like how the design of animated Jetstorm is a Montague of Beast Machines Jetstorm
do you think their could be a market for some third party or 3d printed non-transparent replacement parts for needlessly/stress bearing transparent pieces in older toys like these?
Great review, TJ! :)
And did you say "theme week"? I love theme weeks! Hm, there aren't that much TF toys that can't be apart. The only toys I can think of are the pink Skids and Mudflap who combine into an ice cream truck. But surprise us! You're good at that. :)
How many autobots from the animated line were able to turn into none-land vehicles?
Very nice review. You mentioned at one point how hard it is to get four modes out of one toy, which made me think of another animated toy who attempted just that- Shockwave. I know that opinions are divided on him, but I can't be the only person who would be interested in yours, if you had the time.
Whoops! My bad, thank you for the correction.
In the case of Transformers Animated, the characters were designed before the toys, and that is the reason they were allowed to look so cartoonish.
So VR Troopers got mention but not Metal Hero series that it was adapted from?
Actually it's more like Kikaider 01. Kikaider is blue on the right and red on the left.
All I wanna do is see you turn into a giant robot (a giant robot)! All I wanna be is someone who gets to see a giant robot.
No then you want to see tjomega go into an another robot like king exkaised
Exkaiser*
Steven universe reference
? Brave exkaiser isn't related to steven universe...
oh I know it will be great and I just can't wait to see the bot you are together if you give it a chance(because you can!), because you are a giant robot!
their vehicle modes looked like AG Systems and FEISAR from WipEout
Have these two got them in Florida lol long story but they’re awesome!
i wonder if can Lego one of these guys...
not the biggest fan of safeguard's desgn but indivdually these where probably my favorite characters from the series!
Do you have any iteration of the G2 Smokescreen/Dreadwing moulds? They'd be interesting to review together.
I wonder of anyone had considered or tried replacement opaque plastic parts for the critical translucent joints in this guy(s).

Wondering if you know Biklonz Cross Attacker
No gerwalk mode?
Time for a Headmaster? ' w'
No-one will convince me Jetstorm's vehicle mode isn't the Blue Falcon.
You should meet his friend, CaseProtector.
by god he can kick punch kicking while the same time munching he is my hero know
"HEY! no autobot is meant to fly" (like you know where that phrase came from)
Looks like a pair of badly Kit-Bashed X-Wings, with robot parts just glued-on..
Jetfire's alt-mode reminds me of a Y-wing bomber.
It could work if the twin engines were more pronounced

They were the first to have flying alt modes, not the first to transform
They do have heel spurs
Symmetrical Docking! Choryujin!
Does this qualify as a 4 changer?
I had this toy when I was little
These two were inspired by houryu and enryu from King of Braves GaoGaiGar
Kikaidor while always be forgotten.
What was really sad about the combined vehicule mode was that we saw it more oftenly than the combined robot mode in the show.
Oftenly?
@@mechanwhal6590 Is that not how it is supposed to be written? I don't know, I'm french
why do I get slight Ikaruga vibes with that combined vehicle mode....
Someone needs to do repaints/remolds of these two for each of the Kamen Rider W forms.
did he ever get a repaint ?
Idk why but this version of Jetstorm always reminded me of Jazz

Wait hold on that was Jetfire! How did I not know!?!
is it on for sale
TJ, do you have the comic that these two came with?
So just to get this clear, the individual Jettwins are about Scout size while the combined Safeguard is about Voyager size?
The individual figures are Deluxe size.
These two were like the foreign blond guys from family guy in the show.
I would've loved these two (Or at least still have them) If they didn't go so crazy with the painted over translucent plastic.
SYMMETRICAL DOCKING!
Tj : I wish I wish
Me : this was a Gia memory??? You wish what buddy ?
It's Go-On Wings and GokaiChristmas from Gokaiger
22:55 lol
it would be pretty sweet if you could reveiw rid (2001) prowl
or even the rid autobot brothers
Hey look! Safeguard is one color on his left side, and another color on his right side! It's just like Gokai Christmas!
((What? It was the one half-half toku hero he never mentioned))
Yeah, but he mentioned Kamen Rider W in the video. He did not mention Gokai Christmas however. That was the joke.
Kikaider always forgotten.
TJ Mentioned Kikaider. He didn't bring up Gokai Christmas.That was the joke.
+TheZero759 don't forget gokai silver's go-on wings fusion
I went with Gokai Christmas as it is more obscure.
ok.
in case you didn't know, the super forms' fists have two fingers that fold out for a heel spur.
+The King The video did say to wait for it at that point, I caught it later.
sorry, got annoyed.
My fault. Please ignore now.
+The King watch the video before commenting
I did. But ran out of patience. Calm down.
IMO, I think they should've named Jetfire, Skyfire and have the combined mode be named Jetfire.
no they were the first autobots to change into flying vehicles.*
it sucks i broke one of jetstorms sholders the day i got him and jetfire
The actual Two-Face of the series. Well, except for Energon SlugSlinger cuz he doesn't appeared on TV
For me i use them as Braun strowman play mates of being destroyed i just let my Braun strowman figure the double running powerslam through the table
Imagine if they could also have given safeguard a vehicle mode.
jetfire plus jetstorm equals firestorm. just saying.
That name is owned by DC Comics
wait...you've already reviewed Cybertron downshift?
Jetstorm's head reminds me of Beast Machines Jetstorm's head, might be the chin doing that
Do you talk while fighting, or implement speech after? Cause when you said the plastic : "Held up well for the review"It brought question
