Attacking Jetfire again in tank mode, Bludgeon and the other Decepticons were destroyed when Jetfire detonated a store of explosives.

His bio says that Sky Shadow is actually an undercover Jetfire.

The name is a reference to the Beast Wars Predacon Sky Shadow, whose name Jetfire apparently found in the Cybertron Archives — although quite how he would have found information about an individual from a different continuity is puzzling at best ( leading one to believe that the name may actually be a reference to Sky Shadow from Transformers Energon ).

In Spring of 1962 Chevrolet really committed itself to the sporty image they had created for the Corvair by finally introducing a Convertible version and then offering a high performance turbocharged " Spyder " option for Monza coupes and convertibles, making the Corvair the first production automobile to come with a turbocharger as a factory option, with the Oldsmobile F-85 Turbo Jetfire a few weeks later in 1962.

Bigger news was the arrival of the Jetfire model, a Cutlass hardtop with a Garrett turbocharged version of the 215 V8 rated at and, bucket seats and console, unique trim, and a vacuum gauge mounted in the console ( where it was almost invisible ).

The Buick V6 was replaced on base models by an Oldsmobile-badged " Action-Line 6 " version of Chevrolet's " Turbo-Thrift " straight-6 engine, while the Jetfire Rocket V8 continued with power ratings of.

The Autobot Jetfire was repainted from a Macross toy, specifically the VF-1 Valkyrie, and the character was renamed Skyfire in the animated television series program for copyright reasons.

Jetfire is created from the same mold as the VF-1S Super Valkyrie from the Macross series ( see Toys ), including the VF-1S's gunpod, which is described as a laser on Jetfire's technical specifications.

1985, however, saw several figures reused from lines created by Takatoku Toys, of which Jetfire was one — that of the VF-1S Super Valkyrie Fighter from the Macross series.

: Problems over the Jetfire toy began when Bandai absorbed Takatoku Toys, and Macross regained popularity, leading to Bandai's desire to reproduce the Valkyrie toy themselves.

Notable achievements included the introduction of the first turbocharged engine in 1962 ( the Turbo Jetfire ), the first modern front-wheel drive car produced in the United States ( the 1966 Toronado ), the Vista Cruiser station wagon ( noted for its roof glass ), and the upscale 442 muscle car.

Although much faster than a standard F-85, the Jetfire was criticized for having the same soft suspension as its less-powerful brothers, for its lack of a tachometer and other instruments, and for the poor shift quality of both the automatic transmission and the optional four-speed.

The Jetfire and its turbocharged V8 returned, for what would be its final year.

A bigger 400 cu in ( 6. 6 L ) engine was included with the 442 option, based on the newly introduced 425 cu in ( 6. 9 L ) engine from the full-sized Oldsmobiles while the Oddfire Buick V6 and Olds 330 cubic-inch Jetfire Rocket V8 were carried over from the previous year with increased power ratings for the V8 options.

( 1961 – 63 ) included a turbocharged six-cylinder in the rear-engine Corvair Monza Spyder / Corsa ( 1962 – 66 ), turbocharged aluminum V8 on the 1962 – 63 Oldsmobile Cutlass Jetfire and a standard four-cylinder engine mated to a rear transaxle on the 1961 – 63 Pontiac Tempest LeMans in several states of tune, including a four-barrel high-performance option, as well as ( in 1963 ) a large ( for a compact car ) V8 that was optional with up to.

The TV series would also differ wildly from the origins Budiansky had created for the Dinobots, the Decepticon turned Autobot Jetfire ( known as Skyfire on TV ), the Constructicons ( who combine to form Devastator ), and Omega Supreme.

Outside of helping Jetfire through some morale issues on Christmas Eve, the boy was not seen again for some time, until Sparkplug himself fell victim to a trap laid by Decepticon local commander, Ratbat, which Buster foiled by breaking the hypnotic trance he and the other human victims had been placed under.

" Jetfire allies himself with Sam and his group and aids them in their search for the Matrix of Leadership.

He later worked alongside Jetfire in the Dinobot Hunt and learned to trust him despite his Decepticon origins ; and he fought the Constructicons again at a demolition derby while working as a bodyguard for Buster Witwicky.

Jetfire then accompanied Jazz to a Blackrock fuel plant to oversee the creation of more fuel for the Autobots.

Although Jetfire was able to put out a fire at the plant before it exploded, he blamed himself for being slow to react.

In the animated series, Jetfire was called Skyfire, for reasons discussed below.

Jetfire is also in the game Transformers War for Cybertron as a cybertron jet

The duo entered stasis for the lengthly trip, with Jetfire eventually awakening millions of years later as their craft approached Earth.
