Classics Skyfire/Jetfire?

Postby Kanyon » Thu Aug 23, 2007 10:23 pm

In your opinion to homage to Skyfire/Jetfire, should he have been a Leader or Supreme class? I may just be wishing he was larger like he was huge in G1. I'm probably just making another "wish" thread =\

Supreme is always my choice on a great character. He should have been huge with removable armor. You could always bash and repaint Cybertron Starscream and call him Jetfire.

Hmmm, I think leader size at most. But I am happy with him as is. He is definitely one of THE best Transformers toys ever produced.

Classics Jetfire is just awesome!!! I wouldn't change a thing about him. The classics series toys don't look like much when still in the box, but when you get 'em out ... good lord!!!

They are a fantastic line of toys. I urge any new (movie inspired) collectors to start picking up what they can.

He would be great as a Leader, even if they just 2up'd his existing sculpt

I think he fantastic as a Voyager. but I guess in leader size he could have maybe gotten another swivel joint in his thighs. and hideaway fists.

Other than that Voyager size fits him just fine.

Ohh yeah that too, although, by the way he transforms i don't know how that would be possible.

QFT!! :D
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

The Voyager incarnation is superlative and on a par, IMHO, with the original (which I own MIB). :D

I'd say an Ultra Jetfire would be perfect, so that he would be on scale with G1 Jetfire. The Voyager one is a little too small to be a perfect Jetfire to me.

Also, he needs to be able to fold his wings DOWN all the way in robot mode, and smoked clear plastic, not blue, and red eyes.

What is people's obsession with the larger classes?!

I'm more than happy with Jetfire being a voyager. No silly electronics or other gimicks to spoil him, just sculpted detail and articulation.

No, I don't think he'dve been better as a larger figure.

No, I don't want to have to pay more than twice what I did to have him blown up to twice(ish) the size, where he would then look undetailed.

Thing is Jetfire/Skyfire was always depicted as being very tall, at leats a head and shoulders over Prime. Now he's the same size. I like him being the oversized Autobot. HE got shrunk.

I honestly never thought we would ever see a semi-G1 anime accurate Skyfire(sorry, I just can't call him Jetfire).
To me the Classics release is like a dream come true. After 22 long years Hasbro has given us a figure that I thought would never in a million years see the light of day except maybe in a kitbash.

I think Classics Skyfire is one of the best TF releases EVER. Period.

His eyes were Blue in the show weren't they??? So they corrected his colors...

I too think that he should have been bigger though!! Would have paid more to get a bigger size!

I'm not really interested in the TV show Skyfire guy - he was just a stay-puffed pansy. I like the toy Jetfire and wanted an updated version of him.
