So, being I'm a huge transformers Fan and Collector of the toys since 1985, I'll try and be as neutral as possible to help all those who may not be familiar with the character that is SKYFIRE. I call this toy Skyfire because this toy was completely based from the SKYFIRE Character from the original Transformers Sunbow Cartoon that came out in 1986. However, the name SKYFIRE was taken so HASBRO used the name JETFIRE instead. There was a Toy that also came out in 1986 called JETFIRE. The original toy was based from a Robotech toy that came out arounf the same time that was owned by Harmony Gold. (The Company that had the rights to Robotech at the time) So Hasbro Created SKYFIRE with a new design and it was featured in both the Original 86' Cartoon and the Original Transformers Marvel Comics. For 35 years SKYIFRE was never given a proper toy. Not until NOW. Which finally brings us to my actual review. JETFIRE(SKYFIRE) was given his very own size class for the Transformers War For Cybertron Siege line. and it does not cease to impress. The toy is both fun and intuitive to transform back and forth to each mode. In Jet mode, He is a very impressive size. He the Largest of all Siege toys with the exception of the Upcoming Omega Supreme Titan figure. JETFIRE comes with many accessories that can be displayed in the toy in a wide array of ways. The thing I love is that you can create a little battle Drone using all the Accessories together seperate from the figure itself. I also love the optional armor you can give him as a nod to his original G1 Toy from the 80's. In Robot mode he's also pretty large and imposing. He's also got a cool feature where you can rotate his Faction Symbol to be and Autobot or a Decepticon, which is another nod to his character from both the original Marvel Transformers Comics and The original 1986 G1 Cartoon. In robot mode he's also got a really cool little feature in both his hands which allow a peg hole to appear when the fingers are closed so he can easily holed weapons, or...you can make the peg holes disappear when you keep the hands open. When in Jet mode he's got a couple hidden features that are NOt in the instructions. His backpack can open up to reveal two seats you can sit headmasters or Power core bots from the Combiner Wars/Titans Return/Power of The Primes Toylines inside. or... You can open up the cockpit pop out the engine block piece inside and sit another figure from the Combiner Wars/Titans Return/Power of The Primes Toylines. The figure was a great purchase. I have no regrets at all. The toy itself is really fun to fiddle with.

This thing is amazing.
The best G1 Jetfire toy by Hasbro love handling the guy he's just so fun to mess with. It has some QC problems but it's not that much of a deal breaker for me, get it if you want a G1 Jetfire.

To start: the packaging. It's got beautiful art up-front, and the toy comes attached to a cardboard tray. However, the toy is attached by tab cords like you find on t-shirts. While the tray will catch some of the ends when you cut them, be prepared for any loose ends that fall out.
As a collector, I think it looks great—it looks like Skyfire from the G1 cartoon! The robot mode is near-flawless, especially changing his chest symbol from Decepticon to Autobot like in "Fire in the Sky", and despite some gaps I think the jet mode is cool. The conversion between modes is pretty easy, too. There's a mask and armor accessory that ties into the G1 Jetfire toy and also lets you pile all of the other accessories together, which is nice.
For the price, I got what I wanted, but there's also a few features that bring him above and beyond. First, rolling and stowing landing gear. Usually a feature for more expensive collector-oriented releases, Jetfire includes these, with panels that hide them away and lets you simulate landing or take off. Second, grips for figures on the jet's underside. This lets you carry smaller figures under the jet mode.
Whether you get it at full price or at a discount, Jetfire is a fantastic start to a brand new class for Transformers Generations, and is an excellent centerpiece for any Transformers collection, whether for collectors or kids. Collectors will enjoy a nice rendition of a childhood classic, and I think kids will enjoy a feature-packed Transformer with interaction with their other Transformers, whether it's through Siege's COMBAT system or Jetfire's unique jet-carrying gimmick.

This is one of the best bangs for your buck Transformers wise. Even at full retail price, you can not go wrong with him. Huge amount of detail on the figure that is not distracting from his overall look. Excellent look to him. He captures the G1 cartoon version in all of it's splendor. Nice colors and paints. Sturdy plastic. Very tall and dominating. Stiff joints mostly. The hips and wrists could be tighter, I'm sure someone will find an easy mod to do that sooner or later. Very premium overall at a standard price. Quality.
