Starscream turned on Sunstorm, who fell into the liquid, which reacted with his own powers and destroyed both him and Jetfire.

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.

Attacked by his own deranged clone, Sunstorm, Starscream recovered Jetfire and thawed him out in order to recruit his and the Autobots ’ help, only to then turn on them.

Jetfire then visited Buster Witwicky on Christmas Eve and tell him of his troubles of not fitting in with the Cybertronian-made Autobots.

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.

The SR-71 that is on display in the museum was used as Jetfire, a Decepticon who switches sides to become an Autobot, in the film.

Ransack appears in the movie novelazation where he confronts Jetfire and is killed by Jetfire stepping on and crushing him.

Oldsmobile and Pontiac also used the all-aluminum 215 on its mid-sized cars, the Oldsmobile F-85, Cutlass and Jetfire, and Pontiac Tempest and LeMans.

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.

Jetfire was constructed by Shockwave on Earth to be one of his new Decepticon troops, given life through the powers of the Creation Matrix, tapped from the captive Autobot leader, Optimus Prime.

Jetfire went on to perform few significant actions in the future ( although he did serve as the Autobots ' acting leader against Galvatron in the Target: 2006 storyline ), but was clearly thoroughly accepted into the Autobots, as his was one of the small number of voices heard when a new Autobot leader had to be chosen, and Dinobot leader Grimlock was elected.

Jetfire then visited Buster Witwicky on Christmas Eve and tell him of his troubles of not fitting in with the Cybertronian-made Autobots.

When a lead emerged in the form of a beacon from the Sol system was detected, Jetfire and Omega split off from the team ( who went on to investigate Decepticon attacks on other planets ) and headed off after the signal.

Although an animation model had been created for Jetfire based on the appearance of the toy ( which could be seen in the original toy commercial advertising the figure ), this was quickly scrapped and completely redesigned so as to no longer resemble the Valkyrie.

: Released in the second wave of the die-cast metal Transformers: Titanium line, this 6 " version of Jetfire is based on his Cybertronian mode from Dreamwave's War Within comic book series.

When Optimus Prime led a small force to Earth to investigate the Mini-Con signal emanating from that world, Jetfire was left in charge on Cybertron, but eventually later departed the planet to join his commander on Earth.

The appearance of Timelines Shattered Glass Astrotrain is almost entirely identical to the Transformers: Armada " Jetfire " toy and very close to that of the Timelines Unicron Trilogy Astrotrain, however the toy was sold as the later.

Primus then transmitted the entirety of his energy across the gulf of space, enhancing the armor and power of Hot Shot, Jetfire, Ironhide, Cliffjumper and Landmine, and allowing Optimus Supreme to grow to a colossal height, to battle and best Unicron one-on-one.

He was among the team of Autobots led by Jetfire who investigated mysterious Space Bridge activity at the Decepticon Headquarters — unaware it had been taken over by the Heralds of Unicron. Bludgeon was still present and stalked Jetfire's team.

When the resurrected Unicron came under the control of Megatron, Primus used his powers to permanently super-charge some of the Autobots, Jetfire included, recoloring their armor.

In order to recuperate after the stresses of the final battle against Unicron, Jetfire ( Dreadrock in Japan, a new character there, not the same as the Jetfire from Superlink ) took some time out to vacation of the planet of Nebulos, where he inadvertently picked up the local accent ( resembling Earthen Australian ).

Abducting Transformers that he identified as possessing " genetic potential " within their sparks-Grimlock, Blitzwing, Jetfire and Hot Spot-the Fallen planned to use their energies to awaken Primus from his self-imposed slumber, thereby alerting Unicron to his location, allowing the world-eater to renew hostilities with his old enemy.

Immediately after this — in the UK's sister Transformers comic series, which interspliced its own original material between reprints of the US Marvel title — Jetfire participated in the " Dinobot Hunt ," helping to track down the rogue Dinobots, who were running wild across America.

: 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.

This led to problems for Takara when they imported the Transformers toyline — although Hasbro was able to market the Jetfire toy in their markets, Takara was not, nor could they promote it via the animated series, since the mold was owned by their main competitor.

When Thrust arranged the next Decepticon attack on the Autobots, Jetfire once again proved to be the monkey wrench in his plan when he and Optimus Prime revealed their ability to combine together, once again foiling the villain's schemes.

When Optimus Prime dies at the hands of the Decepticon super-weapon, the Hydra Cannon, Jetfire steps down to allow Hot Shot to assume command, retaining his secondary position even when Prime was returned to life by the power of the Mini-Cons.

Unicron's threat, however, had not been ended, as was proven when the Terrorcons ; dissident Decepticons given new powers through Unicron's intermediary agent, Alpha Quintesson ; attacked the AlterEnergy research facility on Earth and Jetfire, now equipped with the Spark of Combination, joined the other Autobots in defending it and its human occupants.

However, when the other Primes confronted the Fallen on Earth, Jetfire realized his mistake, and was teleported to an unknown location.

After a misunderstanding when the humans saw his Decepticon insignia, Jetfire activates a Space Bridge to teleport Sam and his friends to Egypt, explaining to them the origin of the Primes ( who he seems to have a certain type of respect for ) and the Matrix of Leadership.
