What's the Best Skyfire Second Impact: Bigger Is Better

[@15oClock]

"He's legends scaled." Wow, I didn't expect him to be small. "So, he's the size of a modern voyager." Ah, I forgot we're dealing in Skyfire, the first Biggest Boy.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Indeed. Though to be fair that's because he's the OSKO, the original IF one was much Smaller, because they were trying to be Truer to him being the scale legends figure, even if it meant he was out of Scale if he was compared to other legends figures. I feel like that was very confusingly worded from me.

THAT NAME, wasnt used in cyberverse even though ITS THE SAME CHARACTER. the name is JETFIRE, adding on to this after I made the point. The name skyfire was used because of copyright or something BACK IN THE 80'S

I am aware that it was used for those reasons? What does it matter, it was the name used. And Jetfire was a Completely Distinct dude. We cant allow hasbro to get lazy and mash the names into each other, because it's cheaper for them from a Copyright perspective.

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up Siege Skyfire coming with his Valkyrie armor. I know toy accuracy isn’t something you usually get excited for but when you can have it without compromising the show accuracy at all I think it’s worth bringing up. Honestly, I think the Siege figure is one of my favorite Transformers of all time. You can just feel the love for the character in every aspect of the toy.

[@RHM087]

It is pretty great that a mainline figure is scoring so high; I was fortunate enough to get my Jet/Skyfire from my local toy collector's convention for high Leader price as opposed to full retail Commander price, and added a third-party antenna headpiece for "super mode."

Maybe someday Skyfire will return to some media in his true image and with his real name. Maybe someone will notice the growth of his popularity in order to bring him back at least somewhere.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Glad to give it to you. And honestly I love most of their transformations. The interesting thing about this Skyfire, is that the plastic doesn't really factor in. It requires none of the Gumminess of the nylon to work properly.

[@ColdTRex]

The fact that the Magic Square version is as good as it is is probably related to the fact that its roughly the size of a Voyager. Although I don’t have any Magic Square figures but from what I could gather they are notorious for making overcomplicated Legends figures trying to make legend sized MP’s

[@KreoSpree]

I really depends from the side of the community. Lots of people think the slightly less complicated than a bayverse studio series figure transformation at this scale is fun, but you also have the side that think legends scale figures should be simpler desk toys that can be QUICKLY transformed. Also, I would say the only overcomplicated MS figure is for sure their megatron

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Here's the thing I think a lot of the time MP figures are over Complicated. They think they need to do more to achieve more, so a smaller figure, even a regular legends scale one can achieve what an MP can, if it goes for complex enough, while still being not too complex.

[@KwakyWacky]

Hi, KO Upscale Siege owner here. While I can't speak on the quality relative to the official cause I don't own it, I can verifiably recommend him, particularly if you like a giant jetfire. He has a light up feature in the eyes but I haven't got the batteries for it, he is also very good quality despite being a KO, some of the tolerances are super tight though. He also comes with a display stand for jetmode, the base of which can attach to the bottom of the jet and complete it if you're in for that. The KO Siege is basically titan class sized figure at somewhere between leader and commander price, I'd personally recommend him.

See, I just love how we live in a sort of renaissance of good Skyfire figures to the point where you have a perfect one regardless of what collection you're going for. Are you a Masterpiece collector? Then get the Masterpiece Skyfire! Are you a CHUG collector? The Siege Commander Class Skyfire is for you! Are you a Legends collector? Then get yourself the Magic Square Skyfire! Also, side note, I'm glad Masterpiece Skyfire found that nice middle ground of being extremely cartoon accurate without having an over-engineered transformation to get to it (MP-44 Optimus/ MP-36 Megatron) or having gimped plastic quality (MP-47 Hound). It just feels like the cartoon accurate style of the newer masterpieces but with the simple yet effective transformations of the older masterpiece figures.

Your Siege Skyfire is absolutely yellowing. The white was always kind of dull, but I can still yellowing at a glance, and that motherfucker is yellowing in a few spots. The shoulders and the flanks of the torso where the shoulders connect have that distinct “not quite bone white” that belays yellowing. There’s probably a couple other spots like that, but it’s hard to tell with the figure moving and KZbin being KZbin. There are a not-insignificant number of figures from the WFC trilogy that NEED a package refresh on the simple fact that stuff released between 2018 and 2020 were made in a bad factory with bad plastic that actively rots when exposed to *air* (this is why most of these figures yellowed, despite not being removed from their boxes or being stored in low/no light)

The Duocon shuttle team repaint also has that same paint, but they're covered in it, I believe with flavor text about it being a protective coating. I have MakeToys' Laser Prime trailer & Quantron. I liked them, but couldn't afford their/ 3rd party prices. RtS G2 Prime needed his trailer, & I managed to get Quantron for about what Legacy Menasor costs (think it was at least $100 off).

Jetfire was leader of the autobots in Europe for a while due to an inverse of the Jetfire debacle in the US where Diaclone already licensed distribution of the "Convoy" figure, so Hasbro didn't want to give a competing company free advertising. Thus, until they worked out a deal to regain distribution rights, Jetfire was leader of the Autobots. In unrelated news, MS-02EX, the "fixed" version of Light of Peace is shipping from their site and seems to have some pretty major upgrades for the $10 price increase. More robust looking plastic (need to confirm this though), better painted matrix, and the addition of his Jetpack to take a steaming dump on MP-44 even more by having a bunch of accessories and still not costing an arm and a leg. In actually related news... the oversized KO's about the same size as fans Toys... is it even that much bigger than the regular siege? On the Show Z store, I'm seeing comments saying that Siege was about 12 inches and the KO will be 13-14. Not exactly a huge jump in scale...

Thundercracker is the dude on the Decepticon side who doesn't like the violence, and thinks it's all gone too far, so Triggerhappy and Blitzwing would not be his friends. Unless we are talking Post, getting kicked out of the Decepticons for working with the Autobots to stop the quintessons Blitzwing. Wait where did you see that? I think you would be pretty happy with either Atrotrain or Perceptor if you got them for a good price, and both of those are good prices. Flip a coin I guess.

TIL that PerspectiveEnd is unaware that the Marvel comic exists.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The Marvel Comics don't coouuuuUUUNT!!!

[@Achieme]

Not trying to be that person but do you happen to have or plan on doing a review for TF generations battalion jetfire? I plan on getting it an amazon but IDK if i should get it. a few questions Do you prefer Skyfire or Jetfire? Do you like Skyfire as a scientist like g1 or being 2nd in command of the autobots like armada?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I didn't even know that thing existed. Is that thing just an Authentics figure? I prefer Skyfire. I like him being a Scientist.

At 12:30 there was a missed opportunity for jet pun

I have no concept for what pun you think should have gone there would be like.

thoughts about the classics voyager from 2006?

I did not. That's weird.

me who absolutely adores my t30 jetfire :(

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It is a cool figure, it's just not close to the best version of him.

@@PerspectiveEnd i’m very biased because i got it for $30 and it’s my first figure of him

Not too bad for a what's the best and yeah I was shocked that #1 was the magic square one was but still was best for all.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, most people expected the MP to win, but I'd been pretty sure for the longest time that I knew which it would be, and it turned out how I expected.

[@danielmedela8725]

I am keeping the IDW Magic Square Voyager-sized as my main Skyfire. If I get a chug, it´ll be when Legacy does the Armada Jetfire. And you just know it´ll happen.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

So you have the OSKO too, or do you have the original IF figure?

[@spencergellsworth]

I'm guessing I am far from the first person to say it, but Jetfire is the name for the Macross-based, faction-switching scientist in the Marvel, Dreamwave & IDW comics.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Jetfire is the name of the guy from the UT. Skyfire is the name of the Faction Swapping guy.

[@madhousestudiosdevious]

Random question, but are there and bay former designs you like. For me I think blackout is a pretty good design tied with the last knight barricade.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I like TLK Barricade. That's just about the only one I actually like.

[@ginjuice_art]

i'd actually love to hear your opinion over the papercraft skyfire (only the macross valkyrie design unfortunately), because for something you print and make yourself, i think its SHOCKINGLY good

Where is this Paper Craft Skyfire? I would love to look into it.

I want the toy version of the Newage, I am a supporter of the Jetfire (because that was the toy name) visor, so it looks good to me.

The "It was the Toy's Name" argument drives me actually crazy on every character it's utilized with. Especially Rumble.

[@taylorman666]

Yeah, but the toy Jetfire is a different guy from the cartoon Skyfire.

tbh generations -jetfire- skyfire is not bad, the others are just MILES better

[@RadioactiveBear]

Now we wait for what's the best omega supreme.

[@JethammerTakeoff]

Correct me if I’m wrong but, isn’t T30 Jetfire’s alt mode going for an F-22 crossed with an F-14 feel because of the Macross Valkyrie and G1 toy being based on an F-14?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

As far as I know it's just an F14.

Would I be able to do a what's the best on the hasbro pulse shattered glass line unless you have one planned I figured I would ask for your permission before making it.

That's like the one I don't have. Well that and the G1. And I'm sure it was cool back in the day, but based on reviews I've seen, it'd probably be the worst one by modern sensibilities.
