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

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.

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

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

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”.

Perfect, love every aspect of this figure. This and Skylinx really worth of the Commander Class. Unlike "the choosen one" figure

Here's an idea for the title: The Week Of Fire In The Sky.

This figure looks absolutely stunning. It’s just no fun trying to find one for a good price on the aftermarket.

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.

I have already said it thing is a literal masterpiece!!!!

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.

Hasblow should be proud of this guy. One of the best things to come out of Seige/Earthrise/whatever.

2 days into the week and I already know which Skyfire is going to win the What's the best.

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

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.

Cyberverse jetfire: it is I jetfire, you cannot hide your terrible villiany from my justice coward! Yeah cyberverse jetfire is just silverbolt

I have had 2 separate dreams about finding this thing, than waking up, and feeling disappointment

I am so glad this dude is getting reissued because I started collecting during legacy and missed my favorite character

The week of A Sky, A Jet, and A Firr

I’m so happy there’s a reissue of this figure releasing.

This guy is getting a reissue in January 2023, one of the best figures Hasbro has ever made

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

Yoooo congrats on the new setup and awesome review

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!

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*

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

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

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 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.

Finally, an intro of why Jetfire and Skyfire are different and not the same. Thank God for you P.E.

Saved up to get this guy by this review! Super excited!

The fire in the week Great video 👌👍🤙🤟✌👏🇲🇽⭐

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

That intro is just so informative!🤔

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.

The flipable insignia is the best part for me, really does a good job showing the duality of the character

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

Because of what you said about your childhood head canon, I may add Skyfire into my transformers fan fic as a new Autobot Titan.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

After my house burnt down about a month ago and with my leftover insurance I bought this

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 just got my copy of this guy from China and I didn't get scammed! I've played around with him for a while and I can safely say that he is my favourite figure from War For Cybertron too! (I now have every commander class figure and can't wait to get the rumored 86 Commander Ultra Magnus if he is real!)

If I was to crap on the concept of light piping... I would have to have chipotle for breakfast lunch and dinner.

You are the only reviewer on KZfaq who has shown the opening back cockpit. At this point I thought he didn’t have 1

came here after hearing of the reissue of that guy.

I love the history lesson on jetfire I also want this a ton

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

I think this a good basis for Optimus if he had a cybertronions plane alt mode, because of how big and square it is

I can’t wait for the “what’s the best: Jetfire/Skyfire” video.

Im pretty sure they’re just called wing flaps

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

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

I though you already did a video on this. Edit:nvm that was the siege retrospective

Skyfire looks amazing almost perfect to me, definitly getting this guy when I can afford him

danger zone from top gun increasses

Happy Birthday Critical Boi!

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.

Well now i know who will win in the what's the best of wfc line lol

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.

A 4 foot Fortress Maximus? That is compensating for something. Also, love the Seige skyfire

The extra armour is a reference to the IDW comics

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

Still a good name for a week of vids Edit: love the new background and new lense

When Commander Class was amazing

Pre-order the re-issue of this figure a couple days ago can’t wait to get it

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.

I love this thing I am flying out thanks for doing this review. The only problem with mine is the shoulder peg is loose but not a big problem. Also do you buy figures off of Amazon also somehow you get your logo behind the wings of most reviews

Now harmony gold can't do shit to hasbro anymore. No more spiting, no more sueing.

9:08 Eeexcuse me while I just ruin this for everyone. Achem... *_Fortshite glider._*

I’m glad you got your dream toy :)

The return of the king ( remember me......*ominous music starts playing*......also another great video man also could you just say "boof" in a video of yours and just kinda throw it in there :) )

Great video

About jetfire always having different designs, animated jetfire isn’t actually meant to be a new incarnation of him, it was just to keep the trademark, and if David j wayet ever wanted to have an actual jetfire like character he would be fine with him being named skyfire

Thank you I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw skyfire and jetfire as different characters. Not a fan of movie verse that thrust looking good though then again I'm a sucker for that green

Skyfire just sounds better in general

I love this guy! I saw 3 in a comic shop 1 year ago, and Christmas I decided to check if they were still there. 2 were left, I picked one up without hesitation. 2020 and it was still normal, list price. It's one of my better reviews.

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

When I got this it made me so excited for the future of commander class because it’s so amazingly good It was a very nice reminder for me to never get too hopeful with hasbro

Those things are called flaps because they flap

All I can think about now is skyfire absolutely _chucking_ a tiny omega supreme fastball special style across a battle field Lmfao

Skyfire being the astrotrain for the autobots just makes to much sense now

Te his figure is really great and y really like all of the details

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)

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.

I just ordered one of these from ebay for 100 bucks which isnt that bad on the secondary market and i absolutely cant wait to get my hands on him!

*slaps the alt-mode this bad boy can fit so much fucking autobot in it

I have been waiting for this review for a bit and I’m interested to see what the third skyfire will be

Got a video on favorite siege fig on my b day lesss goooo

I really love skyfire’s charcter in G1, but in siege, he just felt like that’s he HAD to be in there.

And The shattered glass painted The eyes

Just got the reissue. I fucking love this shit.

This figure was my Second siege, figure

He's definitely second for me being Beat by galvatron

to quote beast wars megs: *yeeeeesss*

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.

6:18 is this a callback to combiner wars Starscream
