"He's legends scaled." Wow, I didn't expect him to be small. "So, he's the size of a modern voyager." Ah, I forgot we're dealing in Skyfire, the first Biggest Boy.

I honestly want him to film himself transforming a figure with a good transformation for the first time just to see him talk to himself like a crazy person

At this point I think the world is just trolling perspective at how these “moments” keep happen

I think this may be the first WTB that technically has multiple choices for "the best", since it depends on what you what direction you take your collection in

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up Siege Skyfire coming with his Valkyrie armor. I know toy accuracy isn’t something you usually get excited for but when you can have it without compromising the show accuracy at all I think it’s worth bringing up. Honestly, I think the Siege figure is one of my favorite Transformers of all time. You can just feel the love for the character in every aspect of the toy.

It is pretty great that a mainline figure is scoring so high; I was fortunate enough to get my Jet/Skyfire from my local toy collector's convention for high Leader price as opposed to full retail Commander price, and added a third-party antenna headpiece for "super mode."

That thumbnail got me giggling for solid 5 mins and now my cheeks and jaw are stuck and hurting.

He’s only Skyfire if you take any notice of the cartoon, in the comics, which are obviously the one true way of Primus, he’s Jetfire, which is why there’s a the slash between the names ;)

Watching this made me realise how badly I need to track down the Siege one. With my collection being Generations, or anything that fits with them, and that figure is a must and yet I still don’t him. One day I will

I definitely saw the Fanstoys face in the Magic Square figure. I remember having to double check when I first saw it to make sure I wasn't looking at the wrong figure.

Seeing the head of the Maketoys one being exposed on the underside of the jet reminds me of a spy camera.

Buster Skywing does have heels. You have to rotate them down. You have them flat. Also in jet mode his toe area rotates and sits flush and his heels become a landing gear

I think it's fair to say masterpiece is back, and I hope it stays back masterpiece was my favourite action figure line ever

THAT NAME, wasnt used in cyberverse even though ITS THE SAME CHARACTER. the name is JETFIRE, adding on to this after I made the point. The name skyfire was used because of copyright or something BACK IN THE 80'S

It's the fire of the sky, skyfire. Was a con but now a bot, skyfire. Had several legal troubles, Skyyyyyyfire.

I like the fact your headcanon for jetfire is the armada one, glad to know it's not just me and a few others in that area (I mean I do call skyfire jetfire sometimes but not vice versa (like squares and rectangles))

20 whole minutes of PerspectiveEnd, today is a good day.

The fact that the Magic Square version is as good as it is is probably related to the fact that its roughly the size of a Voyager. Although I don’t have any Magic Square figures but from what I could gather they are notorious for making overcomplicated Legends figures trying to make legend sized MP’s

Skyfire: Was I a good boy? PerspectiveEnd: You were the best. I've been waiting for such a video for a long time with a comparison of at least most of the figures of Skyfire. The comparison is quite fair, as are the conclusions. I am pleased with this trend, as a result of which we got quite good figures. Hopefully, there will be no fewer of them in the future. Maybe someday Skyfire will return to some media in his true image and with his real name. Maybe someone will notice the growth of his popularity in order to bring him back at least somewhere. Although it is not much to believe, but hope dies last.

The toys are the backbone of this franchise, so toy naming schemes take priority for me.

Your Siege Skyfire is absolutely yellowing. The white was always kind of dull, but I can still yellowing at a glance, and that motherfucker is yellowing in a few spots. The shoulders and the flanks of the torso where the shoulders connect have that distinct “not quite bone white” that belays yellowing. There’s probably a couple other spots like that, but it’s hard to tell with the figure moving and KZfaq being KZfaq. There are a not-insignificant number of figures from the WFC trilogy that NEED a package refresh on the simple fact that stuff released between 2018 and 2020 were made in a bad factory with bad plastic that actively rots when exposed to *air* (this is why most of these figures yellowed, despite not being removed from their boxes or being stored in low/no light)

Never realized how cool and stylized the Maketoys Jetfire looks to me, I might pick one up one of these days

May I crucify your combiner wars skyfire? I swear I didn't start a cult

honestly didnt even realize there were this many skyfire figures idk why always thought the poor guy had like 2 toys ever

Excellent video. I'm really wanting the magic square version.

"Have no fear, Skyfire is here!"

Hi, KO Upscale Siege owner here. While I can't speak on the quality relative to the official cause I don't own it, I can verifiably recommend him, particularly if you like a giant jetfire. He has a light up feature in the eyes but I haven't got the batteries for it, he is also very good quality despite being a KO, some of the tolerances are super tight though. He also comes with a display stand for jetmode, the base of which can attach to the bottom of the jet and complete it if you're in for that. The KO Siege is basically titan class sized figure at somewhere between leader and commander price, I'd personally recommend him.

I always blame Harmony Gold for the issue but then years later he's now freed from this curse. Skyfire/Jetfire has been like gone for decades, until Siege came and his masterpiece version, loving him!

See, I just love how we live in a sort of renaissance of good Skyfire figures to the point where you have a perfect one regardless of what collection you're going for. Are you a Masterpiece collector? Then get the Masterpiece Skyfire! Are you a CHUG collector? The Siege Commander Class Skyfire is for you! Are you a Legends collector? Then get yourself the Magic Square Skyfire! Also, side note, I'm glad Masterpiece Skyfire found that nice middle ground of being extremely cartoon accurate without having an over-engineered transformation to get to it (MP-44 Optimus/ MP-36 Megatron) or having gimped plastic quality (MP-47 Hound). It just feels like the cartoon accurate style of the newer masterpieces but with the simple yet effective transformations of the older masterpiece figures.

Thank you so much I needed to know which jetfire I should get

Make toys is probably one of my favourite companies, their aesthetic is probably one of my favourite. And that optimus prime and megaton is just 👌🏻

Man, i love jetfire

Hello again, I’m here after watching several of your whats the best and I’m so happy to have “character development” I’m finding myself very much enjoying your content. Congratulations, you’ve earned my admiration and opinion validation. I’m so happy to see that there is figures you genuinely enjoy and love. And also you dislike bomburst so here’s a gold star (I hate that thing) and whilst I like blitzwing, that’s only because I almost never transform him and I didn’t pay for him. I fucking hate the jet and it’s never gone into that mode and never will. You really have shown what you said in our previous conversation. again, good job

And now we're going to read the story of Little Purple Hood. Once upon a time there was a toothless young scag everyone called Little Purple Hood because they wore a sun faded, Grimace themed hoodie. One day their mother assigned the important task of taking Titanium Jetfire to their sick grandmother who lived in a shack by a pound down in the projects. Midway into their journey Little Purple Hood was ambushed by a gang of rabid coyotes who stabbed her and absconded with Titanium Jetfire. The end.

PE you have the same Skyfire and Jetfire philosophy as do I, they are 2 different characters. I just produced a Lego Skyfire and a Lego Jetfire video with some stop motion at the beginning.

I predicted this video back in the masterpiece skyfire review, surely I get a trophy now

Brother asked a very good question

Early IDW Skyfire was based on Classics Jetfire, so in a roundabout way, Iron Factory SF is based on THAT figure

Maketoys Cross Dimensions lines is such a tragedy man, I loved their Optimus and Megatron molds and was so excited for their Shockwave and any other figures they would put it. It’s been several years since those days and I’m sure the line as been abandoned😪

TIL that PerspectiveEnd is unaware that the Marvel comic exists.

ROTF Jetfire has the markings of a Shattered Glass Skyfire. The only thing retained from G1 Skyfire was the fact he went from evil Decepticon to good Autobot.

Did you know that Jetfire was almost called Fireball? Thankfully they changed it.

Maketoys jetfire has his heels become landing geer :)

thank u I alwalys thought that skyfire and jetfire were the same person

Thanks for your perspective! I'm a Magic Square fan despite the common criticisms of their choices in design and plastic (the use of nylon and their transformation scheme engineering facilitate each other), but Newage's EX (toy-inspired) decos are really pretty, especially their Jetfire!

I find it funny how even Hasbro can’t decide whether he is called Skyfire and Jetfire, they just randomly switch it up every other figure 😂

For the longest time, I thought the real name of skyfire from G1, was jetfire. I know it’s embarrassing

Didn't even know there was an MP of the guy lol

It's Thrilling 30's/Generations Skyfire. There was never a Combiner Wars Skyfire. The CW Leader Class Seekers used that mold. Jeebus. 😂

huh, this might be what I hoped for when I wanted to hear PE's reflection on prototype / final product reactions to MP Skyfire

Some Fanstoys figures apparently have a sticker that says they have a 30/100 qc. Fanstoys Rouge had a sticker in Jobbythehong's review

I finally got my siege skyfire so i can finally stoo dreaming about losing it

I think a rule of thumb for ol jetfire: fauxform or have no waist. Not both

I'm guessing I am far from the first person to say it, but Jetfire is the name for the Macross-based, faction-switching scientist in the Marvel, Dreamwave & IDW comics.

this is a real bingler here

Jetfire was leader of the autobots in Europe for a while due to an inverse of the Jetfire debacle in the US where Diaclone already licensed distribution of the "Convoy" figure, so Hasbro didn't want to give a competing company free advertising. Thus, until they worked out a deal to regain distribution rights, Jetfire was leader of the Autobots. In unrelated news, MS-02EX, the "fixed" version of Light of Peace is shipping from their site and seems to have some pretty major upgrades for the $10 price increase. More robust looking plastic (need to confirm this though), better painted matrix, and the addition of his Jetpack to take a steaming dump on MP-44 even more by having a bunch of accessories and still not costing an arm and a leg. In actually related news... the oversized KO's about the same size as fans Toys... is it even that much bigger than the regular siege? On the Show Z store, I'm seeing comments saying that Siege was about 12 inches and the KO will be 13-14. Not exactly a huge jump in scale...

I just love how in the first wtb skyfire you had that long comparison About the siege and the fanstoys and now you just didn't even care and just craped on the fanstoys(not like you were wrong)

When I got the siege skyfire and saw the name Jetfire on the box I took my sharpe and crossed it out and then wrote skyfire next to it

Siege and Magic Square versions really are a bang in the buck, while MP is the Holy Grail for G1 enthusiasts.

I will always call him Jetfire I don't care what the cartoon says

"It's a shame Maketoys never found their audience because they didn't do G1" You would've hit a revelation there, if only one of your criteria for ranking it wasn't how G1 it is.

I always hate when people complain about Skyfire and Starscream not having waist swivels. 1: its not G1 accurate 2: it breaks the sculpt 3: they pose just fine without the waist swivel.

At least the fanstoys one has chromed and light piped eyes so that’s something

looks like that IDW Skyfire the Iron Factory figure was trying to be accurate to was based on the 2006 Classics Jetfire

That 3rd one looks like RID Gigatron and Siege Jetfire had a baby.

The legacy blaster actually has some toe down it's just really tight and it might damage the plastic

Wow I just watched the first Skyfire video a few days ago and now we get this? I am blessed. I don't have a Skyfire (I'm not super into him) but the Newage and Magic Square ones look pretty great.

I am keeping the IDW Magic Square Voyager-sized as my main Skyfire. If I get a chug, it´ll be when Legacy does the Armada Jetfire. And you just know it´ll happen.

Seeing it from all angles in this also showed me how gappy the torso sides are on the FT too, especially around the arm. While a solid back is admirable, it is a bit of a pointless sacrifice if an angle more statistically likely to be on display looks that barely held together. Loving my NewAge, but as a Ride-or-die Skyfire fan, will likely look into getting the MS too, probably on reissue, as none of my trusted shops have it in stock thus far. And not checking TfSource. They are usually the FT of shops, highest priced, but fine to window shop if you're wanting an idea what's in the works with better studios.

i just want to say that your PFP will give me nightmares. it is scary.

I want the masterpiece, but with my funds, I'll settle for the siege

Did you know buster sky wing's heels form the back landing gear and i think it looks cooler in the movie Jetfire deco. And good news, maketoys is making a comeback with highbrow

Not too bad for a what's the best and yeah I was shocked that #1 was the magic square one was but still was best for all.

Now we wait for what's the best omega supreme.

MAGIC SQUARE!!! Please Mr. pend get magic square hound and a version of their menasor. Their ironhide also rocks. But yeah, great video.

I interpret the Siege's paint on the legs, etc. as heatshielding. Commander Sky Lynx has it, too, in a similar color, with similar placement. The vast majority of it is under them in vehicle mode, and what isn't ends up right where you'd expect the re-entry overheating to be. The Duocon shuttle team repaint also has that same paint, but they're covered in it, I believe with flavor text about it being a protective coating. I have MakeToys' Laser Prime trailer & Quantron. I liked them, but couldn't afford their/ 3rd party prices. RtS G2 Prime needed his trailer, & I managed to get Quantron for about what Legacy Menasor costs (think it was at least $100 off). Quantron's a little small, compared to Menasor, but then I remember Grimlock hastily built them out of junk from Unicron, so it can be excused a bit.

If you've never played with a good condition Chunky Monkey before, then you have no business suggesting that it won't rank highly. It's certainly old and flawed, but there are few toys as well built and fun. While as a Skyfire he fails, as part of Skyfire's DNA he is essential.

Umm I have the Ironfactory one… Your missing a lot actually The one I got came with his blaster, 3 different pairs of hands and a cool head sculpt based off the helmet he wore in the Stormbringer comics. While yes it’s everything else is iffy I love it because it’s a cheap and affordable Jetfire based off a design from IDW with decent possability

Been a while since I used my main channel, damn. What's new- HOLY SWEET CONOLY

Any plans on doing a core class catch up? They’re the only figures I collect so I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new ones.

Surprised a lot of these didn't have a walker mode.

BEHOLD THE GLORY OF JETFIR- i mean skyfire

Great video. I only got 3 Skyfires, the Titanium War Within version, the cheap, no articulations Walgreens version and the Siege, which is awesome but way too busy with details.

G1 character's name was jetfire. They just changed it for legal reasons

Where was the Classics figure? I heard it’s pretty cool. Now that I think about it, I’m aware the What’s the Best isn’t the most comprehensive list, but I would’ve liked to see this figure here.

Thrilling 30 may not be the best but it's still my favorite. It is the fun design and re imagination of skyfire

Honestly, for the price, I would say Siege is still the best. Ngl, I didn’t even know Jetfire had a CW figure, it looks pretty cool.

Well, I have been busy with college/univeristy and currently looking for a job. So, I have not been paying attention to the communities...

His name is Jetfire. He's called Skyfire in the cartoon because of trademark/legal probelms but his name has always been Jetfire. The Jetfire from Mini-Con Trilogy has nothing to do with anymore than Armada Optimus Prime has to do with the OG Optimus Prime. So unless you're going to insist we call the original Optimus Prime "Convoy" because Armada Optimus Prime exists - you're just being silly.

I want the toy version of the Newage, I am a supporter of the Jetfire (because that was the toy name) visor, so it looks good to me.

Im thinking about getting the Shattered Glass Magic square one. I like that he's voyager sized. A bit steep on the price though.

Don't know if my mind is slowing with age, but I had to watch this at 0.75 speed to give me time to process everything said. Gotta say, the claim that the Generations figure transforms into a fairly accurate F-14 ground my gears a bit.

0:45-0:52 I get what you're saying, the way I see it this: if it's going for the Robotech look (which I think is what the UT Jetfires were going for anyway), it's Jetfire. If it's going for the cartoon, it's lame😁. Jokes aside, I firmly agree with you on the opinion "face masks will always be cooler", and is how I display my seige Jetfire.

Do you think Siege Thundercracker fits well enough with Blitzwing and Triggerhappy or should I stick with Needlenose for now? After Blitzwing was exiled, two blue Decepticon jets followed him. They had doubted the Decepticon cause for a long time, but snaped when Blitzwing was exiled for fighting off the Quintessons with the help of the Autobots. And that's the Blue Blitz trio. Legacy Leader Sandstorm is probably like Legacy Blitzwing and Siege Astrotrain, it's Leader price because of triple changer engineering. That's how I know he's the G1 version. I saw mainline ROTB Airazor today. Gorgeous. Welp. Time to wait for a year. The new stuff is double the price without a huge discount. Elita is still horribly distributed (with no signs of discount no less), and I haven't seen Skullgrin's price go low enough. Also Armada Starscream's completely absent from retail. Should I buy 86 Perceptor or Siege Astrotrain first? 86 Perceptor is 23 bucks and Siege Astrotrain is 32 bucks.

Honestly I’d love to see Hasbro remake the leader T30 Jetfire design, but this time do what the comics did; ignore the toy’s jet mode entirely and give it the jet mode and transformation of the G1. It!d make for such a cooler toy, and there’s no faux parts I really want a smaller but still big Jetfire. Like the same size as the new skyquake or something

i'd actually love to hear your opinion over the papercraft skyfire (only the macross valkyrie design unfortunately), because for something you print and make yourself, i think its SHOCKINGLY good

Surprised we aren't nicknaming them cult toys

Mmm I wonder if you could call the combinerwars Skyfire, Jetfire considering it is based far more on the toy than the actual Skyfire from G1, you with the alt mode and head clearly designed to have the visor on

The maketoys Jetfire is often considered the single worst Cross Dimensions figure, I don’t own any cross dimensions(or any third party figures for that matter).

Remember? I bought the magic square
