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 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
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.
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.
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,
+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!
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).
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
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 :) !
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
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)
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.
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
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" .
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😭.
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
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

Huh, I only realize now that Balt was completely wrong about how to replace the batteries in the gun...
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.
Primes combined mode with wing saber in cybertron was pretty good.
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,
I've always wondered how the toys I never bought transformed.
the astrotrain repaint was cool
I look at this figure and think of the yugioh card armoroid
bro it look like it the same mech🗿
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?
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.
I just picked up this guy in 2023!
Comettor was his Mini-Con I believe
Praying for Legacy Armada Jetfire to come out in Wave 5 or smthn
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.

Interesting minicon and cool really cool

@baltmatrix wut is that minicon called again? i have it but the arm broke off :P the firetruck minicon i mean
I think the robot mode is actually pretty cool
Love him never hade him only the cybertron version
Thanks for the great Review. Greetings from frankonia!
@baltmatrix wut is that minicon called again? i have it but the arm broke off :P

Technically the Multiforce were the first "Pants-Mode" Transformers. but awesome video keep up the great work.
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
@baltmatrix the astrotrain repaint actually couldn't have come out then because it came with repainted cybertron minicons
The mini on is Commetor.
+theBuilder10000 the hell? now jetfire is the bad guy? lol
Fantastic!! 😊👍
This was one of my most fave toy amd transformer ever
Armada jetfire is a awesome figure
Are you doing an Overload review? Or do you not want to divulge any info from Spada HQ?
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 don’t know why these extra wings are reversed. That can cause aerodynamic issues in-flight
nicely done
I love Jetfire
lol i wanted him when i was little
Jet fire has an interesting transformations
He does have another repaint was the powerlinx jetfire.
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 :) !
my favorite jetfire
Yeah. Your Prime does appear to have that arm put together wrong, sadly.
Armada Jetfire's minicon is Comettor
Balt, technically Powelinxing started with the Multiforce in a way- but this if the first offical usage of the name.
You should do ROTF Jetfire and Jetimus Prime.
@baltmatrix Will you do Energon Optimus Prime please?
what happen to munitinure and the other guy video
could you do grimzilla next?
I never could combine my Optimus with my Jetfire for some reason.
I am missing the gun and shield and minicon and I’m sad about it because I want to have the full toy
the mini-con is Comettor
I like this especially the combined mode
Where can you get these for under 50 bucks?
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
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)

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.
hey i think i had those landing gear minicons... awh unfortunatelly it was scrapped and got damaged, poor me
jetfire was not the first version of powerlinking. the g1 multiforce was.
just saying.
I used to have this this guy!
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
the mini con is called commetter
the repaint was my first ever Autobot.
i believe jetfires minicons name is "commetor"
I think the Jetfire is cool
Not his pants mode, it's his torso mode!
FansHobby 2024, LET'S GOOO!!!
Cometor also has a buggy mode.
actually, jetfire gun has a light and sound gimmick
@gessnesse no cuz my rotates fine and still works
The missiles attach to the shield
The shoulder on my Optimus prime do rotate. Your must have some really stiff joints.
I imagine a shuttle Jetfire looking allot more like the konig monster.
I had jetfire when I was a kid and he had lights and sound
The combined mode is Jet Optimus!!!
one thing i like to do is to have jetfire's legs extended when hes combined with optimus
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"
.
His mini-con is comettor.
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
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.
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.
It's called Optimus prime jet convoy
this figure remind me of zeta gundam.
His wing looks like giant shoes for beast machines buzzsaw
my eyes! the missiles do nothing!
Baltmatrix, you forgot to throw the shield!
All hope for a commander jetfire has gone now that the commanders for the next couple of yrs are for combiners
1:53 that sounds awsome
cometor is his name
First question: Cybertron. Second question: Astrotrain.
i got this one at a garage sale 3 years ago for a buck. it had all its parts to =D
It’s jet optimus.
i love Jetfire i wish he didnt break :"( my primes arms rotate just fine
Why does a space shuttle need landing gear? They're literally designed not to have them!
So the mini-con can have something to do is my guess.
i have the powerlinx version of this guy, and a darker version of prime
your optimus prime super ode robot arrm is messed up because it is surpose to turn all the way up
