who is the best transformers plane

Postby shortround » Fri Jul 20, 2007 12:18 am

I was at my friends house when her five yr old son walked up to me and ask who the best transformer plane of all time was and he said I couldn't say mp starscream, well that stumped me so I thought I would post his question up here and see what kind of answers I got because then I could answer his question.

Hmm, after MP SS, I'd have to go with Classics Thundercracker, or really any of the Classic Seekers with the exception of SS who coulda used a better paint app.

Weapon: Particle Beam Cannon
Either Classics Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker, Classics Jetfire, or original G1 Jetfire. :D

I'd have to say Classics Jetfire at this point in time. The new Dreadwing figure--I could have designed a better robot mode than Hasbro--DRUNK. BTW--in the pic on their website--what's that purple thing between his legs? Have they given homeboy a package or something? What's up w/that??

I'll vote for the underdog and say Movie Starscream. Classic Jetfire is a GREAT jet/figure, but he's a big back heavy. Movie Voyager SS stands very well, and looks really dangerous too. :)

i'd say G1 Jetfire.

What other airplane TF had snap-on-able body armor? AND looked a lot like the Robotech Line? :>

Depends on what you mean by "Best" though. If you want to go by projectile goodness, i would then say G2 Dreadwind and SmokeJumper.

Or perhaps Star/Victory Saber?

The more i think about this the harder it gets. I should quit while i'm ahead.

After MP SS, it's G1 jetfire, no contest, Not only does he look good in all directions, his working landing gear and folding wings are great.

I don't own too many at the moment, so I don't know how good of a judge I can be. However, I do own Classics Jetfire and he is a very solid figure all around. Based on my limited knowledge he'd be my pick.

G1 Jetfire. No doubt about it. Not only does it look like a killer jet (F-14), it has three modes(so therefore the first :BOT: tripple changer), and references the best anime series ever (out of Japan). TF started in America, so there's no conflict of interest here. :grin:

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say G2 Space Case. A better colour scheme has never been seen by human eyes, and I really like the Cyberjets' faces.

G2/RID Dreadwind IMO.
Good looking jet (and the combination with Smokejumper looks good). Nifty multi-shot missile launcher (plus shoulder cannons are cool). Solid and Menacing looking robot (esp. if you give him Smokejumper's missile launchers in his hands too). Even the tank mode doesn't look too bad, so he is a viable triple changer. Yep, gets my vote.

Wow so many answer although the general consense seems to be the orignal g1 jetfire. For me I have always liked the cyclone cycles from macross better than vertech fighter from which the jetfire design comes form.
