In either mode, his many many C.O.M.B.A.T. System weapons can be mounted on him in a variety of ways. His twin rifles can be combined into a single double-barreled gun vaguely similar to the original animation model's double-barreled cannon. In this configuration they form the core of a massive pile of weapons and armor that goes on top of his jet mode (as if he wasn't anti-aerodynamic enough). Jetfire's two twin-barreled cannons are two-part weapons that can be pulled apart for even more versatility. Jetfire features a large number of 3 mm "blast effect" hardpoints all over his body and on the tips of his weapons. Jetfire features 6 different "Fire Blast effects" as opposed to his heroic counterpart's two three-part effects. In Primax 096.0 Beta, Jetfire was a member of General Optimus Prime's newly reconstituted Firestormer Squadron. At the final battle of the third Cybertronian war on Mirtonia, the General led the Autobots to victory over the Decepticon Star Empire, though this ended with the General and Sergeant Hound being blasted away by an energon explosion into Nexus 208.0 Epsilon. General Optimus Prime's profile card 2006 IDW Beast Wars continuity Depending on the toy and their intended placement, these effect parts can be specifically shaped around a corresponding weapon, or have a more universal 3 mm port and/or 5 mm post. Effect parts can be layered to form extra-large simulated fires, explosions, etc., and toys at higher pricepoints may include a half-dozen or more. Some, like Siege Lionizer's, can be creatively used to represent speed from a Micromaster-sized vehicle. They have the power to create powerful whirlwinds in both robot and jet modes. Jetfire has the ability to combine with Jetstorm, forming Safeguard. In their combined vehicle mode they resemble an X-wing fighter from Star Wars. The two are enthusiastic young fighters, but do tend to rush into things. He speaks with both the twins' voices simultaneously. [42]

When the Ark finally launched a few days later, Jetfire led the Aerialbots in the battle against the Nemesis. Jetfire was able to destroy several tow cables that the Decepticons were boarding the Ark with, and subsequently helped treat some of the wounded. When Jazz went up against the titan combiner Bruticus, Jetfire assisted him by leaving EMP grenades for him to lure Bruticus into, stunning the combiner. Jetfire and the Aerialbots then were able to defeat Bruticus with Jazz's help, before both the Ark and the Nemesis were flung into the space bridge portal to parts unknown.

At one point, Megatron kidnapped the Autobot Laser Rod, Electro. While Megatron attempted to persuade Electro into joining the Decepticons, Jetfire infiltrated the headquarters. Busting-in at full-force, Jetfire took the Decepticons by surprise and managed to successfully rescue his fellow Autobot. G-2 #16 Jetfire was among the few Autobots who stood to assist Omega Supreme in the total annihilation of the Decepticons in Iacon. However, Megatron arrived with his strike team, and after defeating Cliffjumper, chased Jetfire through the ravaged city. Jetfire finally decided enough was enough, and faced the Decepticons down. However, the former scientist failed, and could only watch as Megatron advanced and defeated Omega Supreme.

The evidence of Robotech influencing Jetfire-related decisions is murky. That show began airing in syndication in March 1985, whereas "Fire in the Sky", the first episode with Skyfire, aired December 8, 1984—and would have had to have been written and animated much before then. Statements indicate that it took nine months to edit Robotech together, placing the start of production somewhere around July 1984. So… who knows. All that's certain is that Hasbro licensing the Super Valkyrie seemingly did prevent the use of that toy in Matchbox's Robotech toyline. When Optimus Prime and Prowl were lost in Limbo and Galvatron assumed command of the Decepticons, Jetfire became acting leader. His headstrong tactics got the Autobots defeated several times, and out of desperation he even formed an alliance with Megatron and Soundwave. He also mistrusted Ultra Magnus, thinking his arrival too convenient. However, after seeing Magnus be beaten half to death trying to stop Galvatron, Jetfire realised he was wrong and came to his aid. When the future Decepticon was driven off, Jetfire thanked Magnus for all he'd done. Target: 2006Brereton, Erin (2006). Transformers: The Fantasy, The Fun, The Future. Triumph Books. p. 22. ISBN 1-57243-983-1. Conversely, it is possible that licensing issues played into the decisions to change Jetfire to Skyfire; the story bible for Generation 1 writers mentions how Jetfire had been "transformed" into Skyfire for "legal reasons".

Part of the sixth series of BotBots, Pew Pew Pew transforms from a tiny robot into a blaster pistol/ light gun with G1 Megatron theming. He comes with a tiny little pink blast effect in a similar shape to the one that comes with Siege Blowpipe, which can plug into his gunbarrel or be held in one of his little hands. The attachment peg is 3mm wide, which makes it compatible with many other toys.

On Cybertron before the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, Skyfire was a scientist and explorer working with Starscream. Together, they investigated an uncharted planet, actually a prehistoric Earth, where they failed to find any signs of intelligent life. Skyfire wished to scrutinize the planet further, and moving in close enough to the planet, a polar wind storm swept him up and buried him beneath the Arctic ice. Starscream searched for his friend, but was unable to locate him [2] and returned to Cybertron alone. His allegiance to the cause is matched only by his devotion to science, but his fellow Autobots distrust him as he was formerly a Decepticon. Jetfire bio As the theory goes, the Jetfire animation model was adjusted to look less like the toy as a compromise to Takara. However—perhaps because it now failed to look like the product it was supposed to be advertising—the character became "Skyfire". Jetfire" is listed as a "Special Guest Star from Cybertron" on the Sunbow Productions cast list entry for "Fire in the Sky". Later, on the cast list entry for "Fire on the Mountain", "Skyfire" is typewritten as part of the main cast list, but a drawn dash pointing to (or from) it leads to the handwritten name "Jetfire". From there on out, Skyfire is referred to as Jetfire in the listings. Skyfire was scouting the Kalahari Desert, on the lookout for the many humans to have been abducted by the Decepticons. He found one of the humans, lying unconscious on the desert floor. Patching the information to Optimus and Prowl at Autobot headquarters, he continued his search.Pete Sinclair( w),Evan Gauntt( p),Jesse Wittenrich( let),Pete Sinclair( ed)."At Fight's End" Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club The Official Magazine,vol.1,no.30(December 2009/January 2010).Fun Publications.

Subsequently, in the US title, he underwent the Rite of Autobrand and was branded with the Autobot insignia at last.

The cold and calculating Jetfire originally wanted to become a scientist, but Cybertron’s reigning doctrine of functionalist meant that he was required to serve in Cybertron’s air defense forces. As energon ran low, Jetfire spent more and more time in shutdown, and spent most of his active hours studying the stars in search of new energy sources. Eventually, Jetfire discovered Earth, a planet with abundant energon sources; realizing that Megatron would simply burn the world and everything on it to cinders, Jetfire defected to the Autobots instead and alerted Prime to the existence of this new world. As an Autobot, Jetfire’s penchant for applying his theoretical sciences in real-world scenarios made him a skilled aerial combatant. Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook Commercial appearances Another blue and white Jetfire redeco, this time of the Energon toy. Released in Japan as "Skyfire S" (the "S" stands for "Sonic"), it represents the character in his upgraded form from the animated series. The toy was also released in Hasbro markets, but as a different character named Overcast, Jetfire's brother. As Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ironhide battled the brute, which had survived the assault, the Aerialbots managed to find them and set about providing air support. However, Trypticon was much faster than they expected, taking out all three—not quite killing them, but putting them out of the fight. He later joined the Autobots in battling the Decepticon forces in Egypt, killing the Decepticon weapons expert Mixmaster, before being badly injured by Scorponok. In a final act of sacrifice, he took his own life to enable Optimus to use his parts for an upgrade for his battle with the Fallen. The Energon Omnicon Skyblast was created as an homage to Skyfire. He would have been given the name "Skyfire" as well, but the trademark had been secured (and registered) by Hasbro rival Mattel. Also on the homage front, Robotmasters R-Blade features a very Jetfirey deco.Transformers: Generation 1 - S1 - Ep7 - Fire In The Sky - (4/4), archived from the original on 2021-09-06 , retrieved 2021-09-06
