Transformers SIEGE Jetfire Chefatron Review

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

This IS technically a Masterpiece Class figure minus the over-complicated transformation and the excessive price tag, he's just too beautiful! Btw, if I'm not mistaken you can flip his insignia on his chest from Autobot to Decepticon.

[@kairiley8520]

Yes u can

[@Rodimus75]

There is nothing "Masterpiece Class" about this figure, whatsoever!

Woah this figure looks so nice! Can’t wait for it to be released over here! Good review! Have you decided if you will get MPM-08 yet?

[@Vic_Rattlehead_]

Can't believe you forgot to flip that logo haha. Great review.

[@DMSL2007]

1:02 You know you have hahaha. Awesome review, this figure is perfect. I thought they did a great job with the previous Jetfire, but i will have to sell that one now, cause it is never coming out of the box again.

[@rondavis5012]

I should have ordered mine from Amazon like a lot of people cuz they already got theirs. I ordered mine through BigBadToyStore and I'm still waiting for it. Nice review!

[@KUYA12]

Also something to note is that you can also attach a few deluxe siege figures, or any tf with a 5mm fist hole, on the underbelly like he's dropping troops onto the field.

[@floydrivera9639]

nice review sir franz.. i think you forgot to show the autobot insignia can also be change to decepticon...

[@brentsimard977]

what!!!

[@stevenpeven258]

Brent Simard yep, it’s a callback to the g1 cartoon/lore, he was a decepticon that defected to the Autobots

[@kaizen209]

Excellent! I've been looking for an excuse to give Hasbro money! This "studio" line is getting better and better!

[@lyokomajor]

2 points. 1: The blast effects can attach to the smaller black guns. 2: The backpack collapses up to be smaller.

[@tchallaomoro8281]

Awesome review, bro! I have said that this figure is the mainline equivalent of FansToys Phoenix, meaning that it’s the best version of the character HASBRO has ever done in the mainline. When I first saw images of him I knew I wanted him in my collection definitely. I cannot wait to see the review for OMEGA SUPREME! Be looking for you to do that too, my dude!

[@Zudon99]

A very awesome toy from Hasbro and Takara. Thanks a lot for reviewing! Hope he can make it to your 100% liking list to keep. :) As for me, i had grown up with the CHUG figures and their sizes. And grown to love the Takara Legends Leader Class Jetfire design and size. So Siege Jetfire is not necessary for me.

[@KiLDELTA]

Love the hand mechanism... great engineering

[@SirJustice316]

Great review, I kind of expected for Jetfire to be huge but as tall as a combiner it’s really huge. Mine is arrive next week with Springer from Pulse. I hope I’ll bump in to you when I visit Greenhills.

[@BlackhandPL]

Thx for proper comparision (with something big :D). I thought he'll be CW leader size, but he is much larger :). His only flaw is price - there's 0% chance I'd be able to spend $80 + shipping costs (+customs fees?) on him :(.

[@adambishop5739]

Hey man, I didn't read all your comments, so I'm not sure if somebody already mentioned it yet but the episode you are talking about in the G1 cartoon based in Peru, is called "Fire on the Mountain" The Polar Ice Cap episode is called "Fire in the Sky" (I think you already knew that though...lol). I just got my figure today...how long did us G1 kids have to wait for an official release Skyfire worthy of the name? Man.....can you imagine if this guy came out back in the day?? I would love to go back in a time machine to the 1980's and show this guy to my pals...I think everyone would be my friend!! You've serviced the Transformers community with your review mate....I tip my hat to you.

[@chefatron]

yes, thanks bro! oh definitely. how i wished the toys back in the day looked like the toys of today! thanks bro, i really appreciate the affirmation. really gives me strength to keep going on despite all that's happening to YT.

[@privateprivate31337]

So torn on this. I really like it, but at the same time I am also pretty happy with the last Jetfire we got even if his alt mode isn't as G1 accurate. "Fire in the sky" was one of my favorite episodes, mainly due to nostalgia because it was one of the few episodes I had on tape so I watched it a million times as a kid. Lastly, your review can also be a drinking game. Everyone needs to take a shot when you inadvertently say a sexual innuendo.

[@thenate5367]

I've noticed that you've mistransformed him a bit in robot mode. the backpack is supposed to have the lower section raise on a hinge and cover up the cockpit on the upper section.

[@steveevans938]

@@radioactivsmurf don't know it was just gone

[@DragoonMS]

Yeah, those upgrades do make the CW type Combiners a little taller. Otherwise, Jetfire is pretty much the same height. (TMan978 did a review of this figure, one of his size comparisons was Victorion...same height, and that's WITH her unique feet) I would guess that the regular craptastic hand/foot/guns as feet would make them slightly shorter, since they're flatter feet, and the Prime Armor feet would have the same height as the Victorion feet. Of course, a certain CW mold could give a little extra height - the Off-road mold as a leg; the port is designed oddly, so the peg of the hand/foot/gun can't go in all the way. Result: a slightly taller leg. It affects Off-road, First Aid, Ironhide, Trailbreaker, Ruckus, Zombie War Breakdown (from Takara's Grand Galvatron, it's the Unite Warriors version of Transformers Prime Breakdown), & Ratchet...so it's best to have two of that mold as legs. (Takara's Lynxmaster/Sky Reign actually does this: Trailbreaker & Ratchet are the legs) So looking forward to trying to get my mitts on this next month. Oh, those pegs on the underside are meant for other figures to hold onto and "be carried into battle". Funny how Jetfire dwarfs Cyclonus...and the CW Silverbolt mold (for Silverbolt, Cyclonus, & Scattershot) makes a pretty HUGE jet. Ehhh. I'd still wanna hunt down the old Classics Voyager version, just because it's also a rockin' figure (something that fugly Generations Leader class one was NOT).

[@chefatron]

indeed. i wish i had victorion. she went for $100 out here and i passed on her. after watching the Machinima series, i wanted to get here but she was sold out everywhere. thanks for the info on those pegs. reminds me of old mech-tech ports, just reversed in this version. yeah, the classics/henkei jetfire was really cool back in the day. with the helmet and all. small, and squat, but it was jetfire :-) thanks, bro, as always, much appreciated :-)

Nice review. 25:35 Btw his cockpit is meant for Titan and Prime Masters to sit in it, too. And I heard that even in the upper cockpit, the one in the red backpack part, there are two spots for two more Masters figures. It would be nice if you could do an update video on this especially as I've seen NO other reviewer showing this so far.

Had to buy mine for full price ($70), because I just switched from Masterpiece to Siege/Earthrise, but he is definitely worth it. Really reminds me of my old MP figures, but at a more reasonable price, and a scale that is more manageable as well.

[@chefatron]

awesome bro, that's actually a pretty good price. that's how much it retailed out here in Manila before it completely sold out. not hobby shops are selling it for $85. glad you made the shift bro, i had to quit the MP line because the prices were just becoming crazy. the WFC trilogy really gives fans that whole G1 experience

[@Cent_Reviews]

His armored form’s mask reminds me a bit of biker and Walter from winspector

[@Hektols]

It is a homage for the original toy, that didn't look like his cartoon incarnation at all.

[@Bt3615]

So far Siege figures are following the Sunbow size chart which was part of the bible of the original series. It's actually the only viable resource to put the G1 Transformers in scale with each other considering how inconsistent the actual cartoon is.

[@BaronOfHell666]

In the very start of the video when you have the robot posed the backpack is in the wrong position or maybe you wanted it that way but if not the lower part of the backpack can be raised up and placed over part of the top making it half the size. That will put the peg holds for the guns in the position they have on the box. You have the guns connected to the wings which is ok but the box have them connected to the backpack. Looks fine either way.

[@chefatron]

i do correct it later in the video when i transform the figure

For anyone hunting for him at Walmart, he’s with the Godzilla Toys, every Walmart I’ve been to has him in that location

I NEVER liked the name "Jetfire"! It always conjured up images of a jet plane engulfed in flames to me. I never liked how spindly the original G1 toy was or how it looked nothing like the character that was introduced in the original cartoon. Heck, even the Marvel comics used the cartoon model! So for me, this figure will be known as "Skyfire"! All of the ugly armor attachments will be relegated to a parts bin. The blast effects are nice, as they can work as both jet thruster or weapon discharge visuals! As far as your references to the cartoon episode "Fire in the Sky" which showcased Skyfire's first appearance, history with Starscream, and an eventual crisis of faith that led him to reject the Decepticon cause and defect to the Autobot cause...well, you succeeded in rekindling my love for the cartoon character. When Skyfire was initially recovered from his icy imprisonment in the Arctic ice and repaired by the Decepticons, there was nothing that was removed from his structure. Thundercracker mentioned that "whatever it is, being on ice kept it fresh". Skywarp chimed in saying that his impulse center was down and removed what appeared to be a piece of armor on his kneecap to show something similar to an EKG readout. Starscream ordered that he be given 50,000 volts to activate his memory monitor. Soundwave noted that his cyber-motor relays were useless, but still transmitted what appeared to be a massive burst of electricity. Starscream ordered the amperage increased to a million volts, at which point Megatron noted Starscream's concern for this creature. Then, the aforementioned memory monitor activated and visually replayed his last memory on a screen contained on his forehead beneath the blue square on his helmet's ridge.
