"Jetfire" review by Megaprime

In "The Transformers," Jetfire was first found in ice by the Decipticons and he and Starscream became good friends ... until Jetfire joined the Autobots (maybe that's why Starscream is so whiny -- but whatever). Originally the toy was a repaint of the Robotech Macross series, I think PaperRobots1999 really outdid themselves with this one. Its features include a robot mode and a jet mode. To transform, lift the tab by his head then put his head through the hole in the chest, then lift up the wings and a jet is starting to form, now take the hands and put them into the holes in the forearms, now fold down the feet and finally fold the arm and legs back. Altogether I love this figure in both modes, but I miss the extras from the real figure and wish they made them. I still give it a good 9/10.
