I can comfirm, as someone who bought this glorious boy when he was new, Jetfire's knees could never hold him up to save his life. Still, oddly enough never minded as I thought it added to the whole "robot granpa" vibe he has going on.

This thing was flawed, enormously complex, but hell it was awesome. I sold it a while back. Kinda miss it. ROTF gave us some of the most interesting TF thus so far.

It's fascinating how far we got, from this chunky guy to the studio series, tranformations have similarities. I got Studio series Jetfire a few years ago, looks great

Had only just yesterday put my ROTF Jetfire into storage, now Studio Series Jetfire is in his place on the shelf. A noticeable size difference between the 2, with SS Jetfire being slightly smaller, but having better kibble management and not having issues standing without his stick.

God the nostalgia I get when I look at this toy. I got him for my fifth birthday alongside a Bumblebee arm cannon.

Now combine it with ROTF leader Optimus, and that’s gonna make an epic combo

My ROTF Jetfire had the same floppy knees right out of the box. Always had to find clever ways to make him stand. Looks great combined with my hunt for the Decepticons leader prime!

I've always preferred the studio series one and I've also never really liked this Jetfire but studio series Jetfire is WAY TO EXPENSIVE NOW like I can barely find a used one for a decent price let alone a sealed one

One man's generosity is another man's tale to remember.

I got this guy for Christmas in 2009! I remember playing with him!!! He also had light up features.

Since you're going on a Leader collecting journey, I'm really looking forward to you getting the ROTF Optimus. That is imo the greatest movie leader of all time. He's also my substitute mpm optimus prime.

He makes for a pretty great combo, shame about not having the best optimus movie mold. The studio series combo has awful leg nodules.

Noice dude!👍 Oh..his knees failing em? Why does tht sound familiar 2 somrthin?

One of the few TF figures I have displayed in alt mode. His wings have become loose and droopy (I got mine when he first released) but the presence is overwhelming!

Yeah, that ROTF Optimus and Jetfire display is long gone since the last I've been there, which was about 3-4 years ago

2:03 either I'm nuts but ain't this scene a reference to someone back in the day I don't remember his name but I think the scene played with Jetfire saying something and jolt was like "that's pathetic Grandpa!" . Anyways love your vid and your channel , Big W's 👏.

I think this might be my favorite video of yours just because it came out the night before my birthday and I was so excited to watch

Have you looked at Mastermind Creations Assultis? Or their version of swindle. I just like that character, he’s always been my favorite, and I think you might like him

I've had one since 09 and the knee ratchets have always been that weak.

The weak knees add to the realism of his age

Found this guy a while ago at a goodwill without his cane, gun, and missing quite a bit of panels for his plane mode. I also thought his knees were weaker because of where I got him from but turns out it wasn't. But man it still commands attention with just how tall and chunky he is.

My brother got this figure and I got leader Optimus the Christmas of 2009 and even back in the day we both hated how much of a chore it was to play with this toy. You've already noticed how much the knees and those shoulder pads suck, now try to imagine how fiddley it is to combine this figure with the leader Prime. However nowadays both my brother and I still love this figure and the leader Prime because the challenge was what made it fun and memorable.

4:48 it’s gone now :( I remember it too, it was really cool.

I got this for Christmas when I was about 10 years old (maybe younger). He was too complicated for me to transform. When I got a bit older I was able to transform him but I lost a few of the parts over the years.

I got a used, but completely intact and mostly tight Mixmaster figure for like 16 bucks, that’s a steal man.

“Knees are hella weak” considering its jetfire and hes an old man i think its accurate 😂

I bought a customised version, and it’s AWESOME. And yeah, he couldn’t stand to save the universe.

I have a model of an SR71 Blackbird from maybe 20ish years ago, and its the same exact size as Jetfires alt mode.

Honestly, he used to be a god to me, him with Optimus prime in DOTM 2pack and they are still now. Nowadays, there are more and more modern toys like studio series, LS15. They look better, they feel better, they pose better. But years ago, when I was a boy, I must say these are characters walking out of the screen. They are the real Jetfire, the real Optimus I've seen in the movie. And that's enough for me. I love and remember the feeling of playing with them. Toys are getting better now, but these always have a place in my heart and my showcase of course.

I bought the Studio Series Jetfire NIB not long ago on ebay for around $100. I am very happy with it. 14 inches end to end. It is interesting to see in this video what is the same and what is different. Jet mode looks almost exactly the same.

I've only ever have the Movie the best version of this, and I don't know if it's only my copy of the figure, but that version fixed the weak knee joints, overall joints, and had the more accurate paint job.

I didn't even get this one back on 09 due to the bad proportions and kibble, and I was super hype for everything rotf back then.

I saw it irl and saw the Jetfire display too lol

I've had this figure since it came out and I don't have the knee issue. I have a problem with keeping his wings up when he's in robot mode. The joints on those are not good either.

Jetrfire voice: MEH NAM JEFF

I wish I could send you any Leader Prime. (bc I don't have any to give) ;u; I'd loved to see this review with Leader Prime combined. I hope you to get one for yourself soon, and mark my words, you'll feel like a child again while combining these great Leader toys!

Had this as a kid, and wanted optimus so bad. But could never find him 😭

the main thing I remember about this guy was how the sides of the fuselage felt like they would cut me

I have mine boxed up somewhere he’s missing the bits on his shoulders

I actually have the takara one with the gattling gun and the swichable cane.

the issue you have with the toy being too heavy is just movie accuracy. i call him falling over immersion

If you got this for 12 quid I need to see if I can find Optimus Prime. I HAVE this figure, but was never able to get Prime, and was only ever able to combine it when my friend who had him came over to my house. If I had prime I'd display them combined 24/7.

Yesterday was the first day I got the this guy, and I immediately transformed him, and got them and prime into the super mode and I fell in love with them

Would anyone know where to find warbotron or it’s KO version for a fair price?

I bought mine for 40$ but he’s missing his cane and gun and those shoulder pieces that has his name decal :o

The Studio Series version doesn't have Electronics so it's not worth it as far as I'm concerned. Especially since I have that one.

You really dont have a ROFT leader prime ??? thats shocking cause i would think you'd love that toy

Honestly the loose knees fit him well since he is literally an old man

I might get this one someday. I already have the Optimus from this line.

Where combined mode? I'm planning on getting soon, since I have the ROTF Leader Optimus, and I plan to make their combination.

2020 was flooded with ss jetfire, if only we could time travel

I just saw a studio series jetfire last Saturday at a toy show, going for $100+

He’s missing a gimmick, passing parachute 🐘💨

The knees are a gimmick jet fire is so old his legs are broken so he needs a cane. Lol

found out recently about the site you got him at would you do a video showing how the proccess of buying off the site goes? cant figure out shipping costs

"Jetfire is my Man"

No the knees just suck. I have this and its only really good for the jetpower prime IMO. Its a decent figure but the transformation feels like summoning a demon and I always had to use the walking stick like a tripod. Overall, decent figure but I wouldn't recommend it. The panels also pop off on mine. Normally I just leave it until I need it.

1:03 he falls because 2009 toy Or He's Jetfire

Thats insane, what a good buy

well since hes knees on your copy are weak *its just accurate* thats why he needs the cane

The studio series jet fire is awesome but the old jet fire is kinda better

The knees being weak isn't a flaw. They're that bad on every copy of this toy. I have 2 and neither one can stand up like at all.

I got mine with some missing pieces for free with a cake topper bumblebee trade

Cheep” that’s funny

Would some Pledge fix the knees?

sold mine and bought the studio series one.

My copy has very strong ratchets in the knees, dunno what's going on with yours. Might be worth taking a look at the internals.

Jetfire’s his name

You do know the jetfire studio series is small right? I would say just keep that thing but yea studio series jetfire as if i remember its small

Sadly my ss version cracked from the cold and heat :(

I'm still upset we never got a toy where his head actually transforms from the nosecone. Cause like we see that clearly in the movie.

Ok think it scales Well with ss

Isn't that one that can fuse with leader class prime?

I am gonna buy this and ss version and optimus prime

Hey I actually have the studio series jet fire

I have this but the arms are black

why does he sound like TRDQ gavin?

I remember as a kid I never transformed him 💀

who do you think voiced it ?

My grinder has weak legs

this is my favarite transformer and it looks awsome (Edit) Where can i buy this btw

are you going to buy the ss jetfire

my studio series broke

Where ?

When you said you got jetfire in 12 dollars I got ss jetfire in 22 dollars!!!!

he falls apart as is in the movie... so duh , takara did him correctly in my opinion. hahaha :D

I still prefer the original G1 Jetfire

Wow man that's a good deal

you think this is cheap? i just found a rotf leader prime for about 4 pounds

If you thought that was crazy I bought a ROTF leader optimus for 2 dollars

Get Optimus so that they can combine

I got mine for about 20 usd

5:23

I still have this. God damnit.

The weak knees are not a QC issue, it's a feature lmao

True

!2 bucks I buy it for that not in to him only 5 for me but cheap big

Porque lo pasas en camara rapida sos muy muy pelo_ _ _ o

Yo

if anyone knows where i could get transformers like that dm me
