I fricken love Armada Jetfire. His design is unique and the figure feels solid (like the majority of the Armada figures). I guess it's just preference. Also, for the gun's battery, there is a small door with a single screw holding it in place, that, when removed, will give you access to the battery.
I used to have the powerlinx version of this guy, he was my favorite and the 2nd figure I ever owned, sadly he got brutally broken by another kid back then.
It did for the transformation into jet convoy. It worked as a mini jet engine so that optimus could fly during the transformation. Then he can fly after forming Jet convoy
The first time this combination happens in the cartoon, he is called "Jet Convoy." The one and only time he is named so in the cartoon. Thanks for the review. Keep them up.
I picked up the Powerlinx redeco a few years ago (he didn't have the minicon or missiles, but I don't mind). He's definitely fat and clunky, you can't do much with him, but I absolutely love the way he looks in both modes. I clicked on this video because he's been sitting in his vehicle mode for over a year and I forgot how to transform him.
+Ironhidecity 17 yeah! Jetfire has both name & vehicle mode related to spaceship. Comettor has name related to a comet & vehicle resemble to a moon buggy of sort!
Most complex power link would be RiD/CarRobots Optimus and Ultra Magnus. But the link series did get the true first kick from this guy and Prime. One of my favorite combos out there,
This was my first complete pickup as far as a retro transformer is concerned. I even got the sticker that came in the box, definitely a worthy transformer.
I wonder if the value of these older lines will increase given they don't actually make chunky filled-in parts like this anymore. There is something to be said about the heft and quality of these older lines.
I'm sad that you couldn't demonstrate the light and sound gimmick on yours, having my own i really enjoy having the pew pew noise from G1 stored in that. for battery replacement you do NOT need to take out all those screws. The batteries are stored behind the gun handle and unscrewing that single screw at the bottom of the gun will reveal the 3 small circular batteries it requires and a surprising little piece of fabric that helps in removing them. (my apologies if you already covered this in earlier comments, but i felt like an update video would do this toy justice. Also i hope you can get your batteries replaced since the pew pew noise is great)
Do you even read instructions? I actually just recently pulled this guy out of storage, (was in storage for 12-13 years) and I had to put batteries in so I could hear all the sound effects, without looking at the instructions I was able to unscrew one screw and pull off the battery cover and put batteries in (I always remove batteries before storing). I only needed to look at the instructions to make sure I had the arms in the correct orientation to use as legs for Prime (Still don't get the point of the peg/hole on the side of each arm).
This was my favorite toy growing up...omg I was OBSESSED with jetfire. Once I saw him powerlink with Optimus Prime I wanted him SOOO bad haha, he was a bit of a chunky bot but he still has a special place in my heart :) !
Armada Jetfire in my opinion not too bad toy at all and kinda cool looking, I like his look in the show btw, he just need more paint and details on his body, and have some pretty good features, like his combination with Prime and with big guy Overload! But his minicon Comettor I don't practically like, I prefer for myself Crumpleson and Blackout, I really like this guys.
Pantsformers, you should coin that term. Jet Optimus (Jet Convoy) dosen't look too bad in that mode, I guess he sticks to Jetfire a lot better then he's exploding trailer. :D
I like your reveiws, but this is one in which I think you are wrong. I think Armada Jetfire is the best Figure of the Aramada Line. Now you changed my mind about the Jet-Optimus Combination, I hated him, and I realized I was doing something wrong when combining them. They are really cool tougether thanks!!!
I know it is his opinion, but I like Jetfire a lot!!! Now you are right, maybe I exagerated, the best Armada Figure, by far, is Unicron. The Predecesor mold of most of Unicrons we have today.
I totatly recomend you get one!!! It's really cool!!! Well At least fot me that my Transformers are Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave , and Jetfire. For me this figure is a "must have" .
it's not that the Super mode shoulders of your Prime were assembled wrong. it's more that there is a complicated joint in the shoulder. because that joint is made to form Prime's legs in his regular robot mode and his shoulders in his super mode, there is a swivel inside there that turns a hinge joint. it can be extremely finnicky to move, from the experience with my Prime, due to the fact that he has a swivel joint at the hinge joints that attach it to the Super Mode forearm. Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem here.
the missiles peg on his wings and one actually have to put a minicon on the wing ports to....drop them(yeah, not the best gimmick) the legs could have had a bit more articulation, believe me, they could, but why would they give this figure the articulation that could have make it better?, i do prefer the energon mold, though i do like the armada version shuttle mode better(in its powerlinx colors XD)
Do you have Armado Overload he can combine with prime and you can atatch him to the back oh him in Jetfire combination. I like Jetfire but Energon one was better in my book but thats just my opinoin
Joshua Yong nobody cares what you think if he thinks then he thinks that and you think what you think of it after all they are his anyway so stay out of his business
hey matrix I noticed you don't have a hotshot you should pick him up I think you would like him quite a bit. exept for 1 or 2 minor hiccups. lol and of course a cheesy mini-con

I remember buying the powerlinx version, the one with the blue,and black lines....oh goddamn the memories, man I give anything to go back to '03😭.
in the show, Jetfires gun connected to Primes back
It did for the transformation into jet convoy. It worked as a mini jet engine so that optimus could fly during the transformation. Then he can fly after forming Jet convoy
In his butt crack?
Jet Convoy Optimus Prime
The first time this combination happens in the cartoon, he is called "Jet Convoy." The one and only time he is named so in the cartoon. Thanks for the review. Keep them up.
i remember having this guy as a seven year old. i still remember the day i realised that the boosters on the feet could flip out. good times
I picked up the Powerlinx redeco a few years ago (he didn't have the minicon or missiles, but I don't mind). He's definitely fat and clunky, you can't do much with him, but I absolutely love the way he looks in both modes.

The minicon partners name is comettor
+Ironhidecity 17 yeah! Jetfire has both name & vehicle mode related to spaceship. Comettor has name related to a comet & vehicle resemble to a moon buggy of sort!
@@deanwolf1998 isn't Comettor supposed to fit in the "loading" bay of Jetfire in Buggy mode as well?
Primes combined mode with wing saber in cybertron was pretty good.
I just picked up this guy in 2023!
I look at this figure and think of the yugioh card armoroid
bro it look like it the same mech🗿
the astrotrain repaint was cool
Praying for Legacy Armada Jetfire to come out in Wave 5 or smthn
Most complex power link would be RiD/CarRobots Optimus and Ultra Magnus. But the link series did get the true first kick from this guy and Prime. One of my favorite combos out there,
This was my first complete pickup as far as a retro transformer is concerned. I even got the sticker that came in the box, definitely a worthy transformer.
I've always wondered how the toys I never bought transformed.
Huh, I only realize now that Balt was completely wrong about how to replace the batteries in the gun...
Comettor was his Mini-Con I believe
Love him never hade him only the cybertron version
I wonder if the value of these older lines will increase given they don't actually make chunky filled-in parts like this anymore. There is something to be said about the heft and quality of these older lines.
Actually most of these figures have doubled in price on Ebay (if in good condition). A MISB Jetfire goes for like $130-150 USD.
This was my first transformer and will always be my fav =3
OK. One I can agree with. That head definitely weirds me out too.
The mini on is Commetor.
+theBuilder10000 the hell? now jetfire is the bad guy? lol

I think the robot mode is actually pretty cool
Do you even read instructions?

Interesting minicon and cool really cool

Can he launch off of overload
+Ian Ng Sadly No, dude. Overload can only carry Jetfire in vehicle mode!
Ian Ng if you use your hands then yes
This was one of my most fave toy amd transformer ever
I love Jetfire
nicely done
Thanks for the great Review. Greetings from frankonia!
Jet fire has an interesting transformations
Armada jetfire is a awesome figure
Fantastic!! 😊👍
lol i wanted him when i was little
Technically the Multiforce were the first "Pants-Mode" Transformers. but awesome video keep up the great work.
He does have another repaint was the powerlinx jetfire.
@baltmatrix the astrotrain repaint actually couldn't have come out then because it came with repainted cybertron minicons
@baltmatrix wut is that minicon called again? i have it but the arm broke off :P the firetruck minicon i mean
my favorite jetfire
I like this especially the combined mode
Pantsformers, you should coin that term. Jet Optimus (Jet Convoy) dosen't look too bad in that mode, I guess he sticks to Jetfire a lot better then he's exploding trailer. :D
I used to have this this guy!
Armada Jetfire's minicon is Comettor
@baltmatrix wut is that minicon called again? i have it but the arm broke off :P
I think the Jetfire is cool
I had jetfire when I was a kid and he had lights and sound
I don’t know why these extra wings are reversed. That can cause aerodynamic issues in-flight
I am missing the gun and shield and minicon and I’m sad about it because I want to have the full toy
I like your reveiws, but this is one in which I think you are wrong. I think Armada Jetfire is the best Figure of the Aramada Line. Now you changed my mind about the Jet-Optimus Combination, I hated him, and I realized I was doing something wrong when combining them. They are really cool tougether thanks!!!
Its his opinion and they cant be wrong. Personally I like Armada Jetfire but he isn't the best.
I know it is his opinion, but I like Jetfire a lot!!! Now you are right, maybe I exagerated, the best Armada Figure, by far, is Unicron. The Predecesor mold of most of Unicrons we have today.
Jetfire is a good toy even thoughi don't own it. I messed around with it though
I totatly recomend you get one!!! It's really cool!!! Well At least fot me that my Transformers are Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave , and Jetfire. For me this figure is a "must have"
.
Are you doing an Overload review? Or do you not want to divulge any info from Spada HQ?
the mini-con is Comettor
it's not that the Super mode shoulders of your Prime were assembled wrong. it's more that there is a complicated joint in the shoulder. because that joint is made to form Prime's legs in his regular robot mode and his shoulders in his super mode, there is a swivel inside there that turns a hinge joint. it can be extremely finnicky to move, from the experience with my Prime, due to the fact that he has a swivel joint at the hinge joints that attach it to the Super Mode forearm. Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem here.
silvermoon551 This, and one of the arms (that left one he was messing with I believe too) has wiring for light for his omega blaster.
Yeah. Your Prime does appear to have that arm put together wrong, sadly.
His mini-con is comettor.
the repaint was my first ever Autobot.
Balt, technically Powelinxing started with the Multiforce in a way- but this if the first offical usage of the name.
FansHobby 2024, LET'S GOOO!!!
I never could combine my Optimus with my Jetfire for some reason.
the missiles peg on his wings and one actually have to put a minicon on the wing ports to....drop them(yeah, not the best gimmick) the legs could have had a bit more articulation, believe me, they could, but why would they give this figure the articulation that could have make it better?, i do prefer the energon mold, though i do like the armada version shuttle mode better(in its powerlinx colors XD)
what happen to munitinure and the other guy video
the mini con is called commetter
I imagine a shuttle Jetfire looking allot more like the konig monster.
Do you have Armado Overload he can combine with prime and you can atatch him to the back oh him in Jetfire combination. I like Jetfire but Energon one was better in my book but thats just my opinoin
jetfire was not the first version of powerlinking. the g1 multiforce was.
just saying.
It's called Optimus prime jet convoy
Not his pants mode, it's his torso mode!
You should do ROTF Jetfire and Jetimus Prime.
hey i think i had those landing gear minicons... awh unfortunatelly it was scrapped and got damaged, poor me
Cometor also has a buggy mode.
I like Cybertron Jetfire more
Political King I kinda like him except for the fact that he is an Australian stereotype.........
Didgeridoo
@@darkstar5081 Still salty they replaced his VA for no reason despite his old VA actually being Australian.
All hope for a commander jetfire has gone now that the commanders for the next couple of yrs are for combiners
His wing looks like giant shoes for beast machines buzzsaw
actually, jetfire gun has a light and sound gimmick
The missiles attach to the shield
STOP JUDGING ALL THE ARMADA ROBOTS ON HOW THEY LOOK. THATS THE WAY THEY ARE IN THE CARTOON. IF I HAD THEM I WOULD BE GRAETFUL!
Joshua Yong just cause they look like that in the show means they're free of any criticism
yeah ok
Joshua Yong Just because they're accurate doesn't mean they're good.
Joshua Yong nobody cares what you think if he thinks then he thinks that and you think what you think of it after all they are his anyway so stay out of his business
Joshua Yong vhu4
Joshua Yong "GRAETFUL" LoL
@baltmatrix Will you do Energon Optimus Prime please?
i believe jetfires minicons name is "commetor"
Heyyy I got a knock-off of that minicon in a gashapon machine at the mall for a dollar o.o I never knew he could "fold" in that way.
one thing i like to do is to have jetfire's legs extended when hes combined with optimus
could you do grimzilla next?
The combined mode is Jet Optimus!!!
Where can you get these for under 50 bucks?
i got this one at a garage sale 3 years ago for a buck. it had all its parts to =D
my eyes! the missiles do nothing!
1:53 that sounds awsome
Baltmatrix, you forgot to throw the shield!
hey matrix I noticed you don't have a hotshot you should pick him up I think you would like him quite a bit. exept for 1 or 2 minor hiccups. lol and of course a cheesy mini-con
he does have it
Andrew McAdam i know that now, as yuo can see that comment is quite old
this figure remind me of zeta gundam.
The shoulder on my Optimus prime do rotate. Your must have some really stiff joints.
i love Jetfire i wish he didnt break :"( my primes arms rotate just fine
It's optimus prime's jet mode!
It’s jet optimus.
First question: Cybertron. Second question: Astrotrain.
Now a days these toys cost an ARMada and a leg
@gessnesse no cuz my rotates fine and still works
i have the powerlinx version of this guy, and a darker version of prime
He’s the pants of the relationship
But Prime's wearing the pants 😂
