The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

I guess you wanted to just do Jetfire figures because Classics Starscream does a good Gerwalk mode too.

That Is a Very Cool Thread, If I'd Known About It I Might Not Have Posted Mine. It Does Look Like I'm The Only One To Have G2 Jetfire In Gerwalk Mode Though (But, Hooligan Is Cool Too).
BTW, Am I The Only One Who Has Noticed That Some Of The Cyberjets Have Improper Faction Symbols(Even Though they Are Color Matched Properly To Their Respective Jets, ie:Jetfire And Strafe)?.

Well, since the five minutes are up... Yeah, I've noticed. Jetfire spent a little while as a Decepticon in some continuities, but I'm not sure what Strafe's excuse is.
My guess is they wee originally going to use the redecoes as another set of Decepticons, switched to Autobots at the last minute, and forgot to change the symbols.

You Know , Extending The Line Of Thought I Brought Up, I Wonder Why There Haven't Been Any Re-Issues Or Repaints Of Any Of The Original G2 Designs(Like The Four Small Cars Or The Small Jets). Many Of The Cybertron Trilogy Designs Have Been Redone Many Times Over. Have The G2's Been So Thoroughly Forgotten?

I think G2 may have missed out in terms of re-issues and repaints because it doesn't have as much of the nostalgia that G1 has, but doesn't have the articulation play value of the more modern lines.
P.S. You don't need to capitalise the first letter of every word when you type. It makes it harder to read. The standard method is to capitalise the first letter of each sentence only.

This brings up something I've wondered for a while: What actually is the reasoning behind gerwalk modes? I know the come from Macross/Robotech, but what can they do that cant be done in either jet or robot mode?
In case you cant guess, I've never watched Robotech, so I'm curious

If I Remember Properly, The Gerwalk Mode Combines The Speed And Mobility Of The Jet Mode With The Versatility And Firepower Of The Battloid Mode.

Heh, I just realized, Cybertron MEnasor is pretty much a Gerwalk mode waiting to happen. Looks kinda warhammery this way, actually.

Yeah, that pretty well sums it up. The batteroid (battloid) mode was the most versitile, but also the slowest. The fighter was the fastest, but lacked the high maneuverability of the batteriod (especially in ground combat situations where the batteroid acted like a foot soldier.) The gerwalk (guardian/gladiator depending on the literary reference) sacrificed some of the speed of the fighter and some of the maneuverability/versatility of the batteroid to gain an amount of each.
