Title:
Jetfire Voyager Jet Mode
Description:
Jetfire (Voyager Class, 2006)
Accessories: Rocket Booster pack, two-piece rifle, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, helmet
Classics Jetfire’s design is an amalgam of the original cartoon/comic model for Jetfire/Skyfire and the original toy. It not only features removable armor like the original toy, but the toy-inspired head can be removed like a helmet to reveal a cartoon/comic-inspired head. The jet mode is primarily based on the F-14 Tomcat (itself the inspiration for the Macross VF-1 Valkyrie design), but with various visual elements taken from Skyfire’s character model, most notably the squared-off nosecone. The toy’s add-on booster packs have flip-out reveal cannons, and it also features arm-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers.
An unexpected level of detail can be found on the black non-firing rifle; when it is assembled, the halves of the gun’s "sight” come together in a way that would be functional on a full-size weapon.
The toy’s design was first featured on the solicited cover to IDW Stormbringer #1. Contrary to popular belief, it was not designed by Don Figueroa.
A "ghost” redeco of this toy, with black plastic and silvery electric paint deco, was shown by Hasbro in a news broadcast about their attempts to cheer up a Rhode Island orphan. Sadly, this version was never released.
This mold was retooled to make the BotCon 2007 version of Dreadwind, and redecoed to make the Universe version of Tread Bolt.
