One of my co-workers told me that the original version of TFTM he saw in theaters oh so many years ago, had a scene where Skyfire died. I can't seem to remember this in any of the versions of the film I've seen. Can somone back up this claim?

I've never heard this. I can believe he was probably in an original draft of the script, and may very well have died in that draft, but I've never heard of such a scene actually being animated, let alone played in theatres.

Skyfire did NOT die in Transformers: The movie!

He died in 'Dark Awakening'.

I dunno, I'm one of the ones who likes to boast about being in the region that Hasbro doesn't care about.

I LIVE IN BRITAIN!

whoops, there I go again :roll:

...No seriously, why did you think that?

When wouldn't he be? Skyfire didn't even die. We will never really know if that was Skyfire in "Dark Awakening", or just a Cybertronian jet that bore a striking resemblance to him. *shrugs*

It's quite obvious, Meverix, that I am a buffoon.

I quite like Bristol and the surrounding area, whether Hasbro does or not.

And Raymond, don't pretend you don't love it!

I concur with you, Decepticlone.

Dark Awakening? Well, I don't remember that..ok I'm looking that up.

Weel Skyfires last appearence was technically a 5 second cameo in headmasters as one of the guys in the background

Well, the Autobots supposedly mourned his death in the episode "Fire in the Sky" but he came back the next episode. That always bugged the hell out of me.

Gah! It's true!

Yeah, it's decent enough. The West and South West are my favourite parts of England. I loathe the South East.

That's from "Dark Awakening," right? guess I'll have to go back and watch that show again.

Yes. It's the part where the fleet is heading towards the detonator and the Quints open fire.

Alright, cool. Thanks! I'm still having trouble seeing why Skyfire didn't stay dead after Fire in the Sky. I guess it's the same reason Prime's trailer is never seen until he transforms.

He didn't die, he got buried in the ice again and the Autobots couldn't be arsed to dig him out until they needed him again [what good comrades they were].

But the Autobots acted like it was funeral, like he was gone for good. Meh. I guess your theory is good enough, considering he shows right back up in the next episode.

In truth, Harmony Gold was still breathing down Sunbow's neck. Even after Jetfire was changed into Skyfire, they still threatend with lawsuits. Still the character was an interesting one, so they brought him back. But in the end they decided not to include him anymore. The model appeared in Dark Awakening, because the bible for season three was largely incomplete at that time. Missing many footnotes that were entered during production of 1 and 2. Mostly likely the note that the model was not to be used again went missing, or it was just an artist who wanted to do Skyfire one more time, and tried to hide him in the crowd by leaving him all white.

No, they kept telling themselves to remember and bring something to melt the ice next time. They promised him that they shall remember!

and here I keep picturing Jetfire being held by 5 ice cubes and a rampant refrigerator with a TF Cog

I thought Slag was pretty good with the arsen and melting snow cones. :-?

Who did remember to defrost the decepticon traitor?
