The Energon Pub

Jetfires, Jetfires everywhere...

When I got Energon Jetfire, he seemed cool. For about a week. The flimsy arms and lackluster head soon got to me and he's been in the dark shelf of forgetfulness ever since.

Then came Cybertron, and it was an improvement. Sort of. Could they not have made him balance better? And the wings, why cant they just fold up a little more, so he doesn't have personal space issues with other figures?

I was skeptical when I saw Armada Jetfire. Originally, back when Armada was running, I didn't get one. A couple of weeks ago, I found someone selling him for five bucks. Well, I thought, it's no worse than buying a lotto ticket. So two weeks later, here he is.

MAN OH MAN am I glad I got him. No wing issues, no arm flimsiness. The Alt mode looks like money now that I can hold it. So glad I found this one.

Anyone else think he's the hands-down best of the three?

The armada jetfire is a great mold and his look is much better then the energon or cybertron versions. You should look into getting the transformers collectors club Astrotrain if you like the armada jetfire the club exclusive is a repaint of armada jetfire in decepticon colors with a remolded head great figure and the new head sculpt is awesome.

Plus he comes with 4 minicons! :grin:

And yes, I completely agree that Armada Jetfire ownz Energon or Cybertron Jetfire.

He looks frickin sweet with regular Armada Prime and Energon Ultra Magnus combined. :grin:

My favorite is the Powerlinx color scheme.

Armada Jetfire almost personifies the toy line. Really good concept, several nagging flaws that will keep it from making the TF hall of fame.

I love A-JEtfire, but Club Astrotrain is my favorite version of the mold.

I like Cyb. Jetfire too......no one likes the figures I like.....good for me.

Show the love. how about some pics?

I'm glad to hear you're digging it -- I've got one on the way from a Carbombya purchase and can't wait to check it out. My collecting was on hiatus during Armada and Energon, so this is all brand new to me. Anyone have an opinion on whether the Armada seekers are any good? I love me some Thundercracker and Starscream, but I don't want to get hosed with a crappy figure.

I bought mine when Armada was around, I was very happy with him.

He looks outstanding in both modes. Love him combined with Prime. If only his legs had a bit more articulation, I'd be happy.

Also I'm really sad now cause while transforming his little minicon Partner Commetor into Landing gear mode, I kinda snapped off the legs so now i can't give Jetfire Landing gear.

Love his Lights and Sounds Gun/thruster.

Sorry, I don't have any pics of mine. But you can find him in Seib's Gallery in the Armada Section.

The Armada Seekers are pretty nice, but they do have this large backpack-esque protrusion. I like 'em.
