Jetfire - Transformers Voyager Classic

This toy was a must buy for me because it is Jetfire. The original toy was modelled after a Macross toy. This mold is reminiscent of the original as suggested by the "classic" toy line. My only real complaint is that the arms are very visible in the alt mode. Definitely recommended.

Classics Jetfire is a masterpiece! This toy is the single most details and accessoried figure from this toyline.

The vehicle mode for this figure is superb, it is highly detailed and looks very similar to the cartoon character (also called SkyFire). The vehicle mode has foldout wheels, opening cockpit and the iconic red jetboosters that are this chaactgers distiguishing mark. The characters guns fit neatly into the wings and the characters removeable helmet fits neatly into the fuselage (still on the robots head) with the antennae from the helmet forming seconday guns.

In Robot mode this toy is much more poseable than the original, infact the poseablility of this toy is amazing and it is proably the most poseable figure from the classics line. The figure wears a removeable helmet, which is a nice accessory, he also has 2 arm mounted missile launchers as well as two hand-held guns that can be combined into one larger gun. His jetboosters convert into two shoulder mounted cannons. This character is practically bristling with weapons. When in robot mode the wings fold up (and look a little butterflyish) but stay completely out of the way of the arms which is nice (and not always guaranteed with transformers toys) and the feet, which are formed from the jet engines exhaust cones, provide a stable footing for the figure allowing you to pose it with a good chance it will stay upright.

All in all this toy is almost TOO GOOD to be a Transformers Classics line toy. In a line of toys notable for their quality this one sets a very high bar.

Highly recommended!

Jetfire/Skyfire has always been my favorite, so this one's just great to have. Pretty sturdy as far as construction goes, so heavy play isn't a problem, but trying to stand him up on his own with that jetpack attached requires a little skill. I wish he was a bit bigger, as Jetfire was just enormous in the actual show, but you can't have everything. Probably one of my favorite features on this are the eyes: they're clear blue plastic straight through to the back of the head, so when backlit, the eyes glow. Awesome! Pretty simple to transform back and forth between robot and jet, maybe a little TOO easy for some, but all around this is just an awesome toy.

Jetfire/Skyfire from Transformers is a very calm, intelligent scientist who was around during the Golden Age of Cybertron. I enjoyed his G1 character (Skyfire) and was happy to find a toy that does a good job in representing his cartoon form. He is quite sturdy and is still holding stiff joints after a number of transformations. His face is calm and passive and captures his character well. Adults and children alike can enjoy this product since he holds together well and shouldn't break with normal handling. He looks very nice displayed either in spaceship form or as a robot.
