Jetfire (Movie)

The name or term "Jetfire" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, seeJetfire (disambiguation).

Jetfire is aDecepticonand later anAutobotfrom themovie continuity family.

Jetfirewas a living legend both in the air and on the battlefield in his day. Sadly, his day has long since passed. His body went south years back. His bunny is dead on the wheel. He's got rust in places he didn't even know he had. Basically, Jetfire's old! An ancient DecepticonSeeker,Jetfire was around long before the war broke out, and unlike many, came to see his "comrades" for what they were. This caused him to defect to the Autobots, something virtually unheard of. As a consequence, Jetfire never managed to fully obtain the trust of the others back in the day.^[1]

He's still a fine asset, powerful and able to activate aspace bridgeto teleport across great distances. This is slightly offset by the fact he's so old. After years without a proper source of energon, he's practically falling apart. His processor gave up the ghost millennia ago. These days he has a hard enough time remembering his name, and he's lucky if his teleporting puts him on the right planet. It makes him a bit crotchety and also leaves him with the nagging feeling he's forgotten something important.

“	My father,why, he was a wheel! Thefirstwheel! And do you know what he transformed into?Nothing!But he did sowith honor! Dignity, damn it!	”

Revenge of the Fallenfilm

Voice actor:Mark Ryan(English),Kenji Nomura(Japanese),Han Tongsheng(Chinese),Engelbert von Nordhausen(German),Idzi Dutkiewicz Sánchez(Latin American-Spanish),Franco Zucca(Italian),Patrick Béthune(European French),Benoît Rousseau(Canadian French),Márcio Simões(Portuguese),Nüvit Candaner(Turkish)

Jetfire was one of the Seekers dispatched bythe Fallento locate theMatrix of Leadershipafter theDynasty of Primeshid it on Earth. However, Jetfire and the other Seekers were unable to locate theTombthat the Primes had forged. The only clue they could find was a riddle: "When dawn alights the Dagger's tip, Three Kings will reveal the Doorway". Eventually, the Fallen abandoned the Seekers and they were forced to go into stasis lock out of a lack of energon.

For many years, a dormant Jetfire had hidden in his alternate mode at theSmithsonian National Air and Space Museum'sSteven F. Udvar-Hazy Center,untilSeymour Simmons,Sam Witwicky,Mikaela Banes,Leo SpitzandWheeliebroke in with a small fragment of theAllSpark.It was only after the AllSpark shard hit Jetfire that they bothered to check which side he was on. The sight of the Decepticoninsigniasent the humans scrambling for cover, but the surge of energy awoke him. Confused at the "hideous mausoleum" he was held in, Jetfire decided to head outside to get a better handle on where he was. After his attempts at overriding and shooting the doors failed, Jetfire smashed them aside, then wandered about the planes outside, damaging a few. When the humans tried to talk to him, he initially claimed that he couldn't deal with them, as he had a mission, but did ask what planet he was (he wasn't too fond of the name "Earth", feeling it might as well be called "Dirt" ). Jetfire inquired on the state of the civil war, and revealed that he had defected to the Autobots (it's an intensely personal decision). This led the smaller Wheelie to defect to ahuman femalehe dubbed "warrior goddess". After the human Sam asked what he was saying, Jetfire, still confused, pounded the ground and shouted that he had a lot of issues regarding his mother, and that his father was the first wheel, who did not transform but performed his functions with honor and dignity. At which point a parachute stored in him suddenly popped open, bringing him down. Sam then tried to explain what was going on.

When Sam was finished carvingCybertronian symbolson the ground, he mentionedMegatronand the Fallen. Jetfire ranted that the Fallen was the original Decepticon and had left him on Earth to rust. The symbols were a part of Jetfire's mission, and they jogged his memory banks enough to convince him to open aspace bridge,teleporting the entire group (includingBumblebee,thetwins,and Wheelie) toEgypt.Thankful that he had managed to stay on the planet, Jetfire then told them the story of the Dynasty of Primes and the Fallen, Cybertron's first contact with Earth, theStar Harvesterwhich could destroy aSunand convert it to energon, and the Matrix of Leadership needed to activate it, hidden on Earth. He revealed that only aPrimecould defeat the Fallen, but he believed that none were left. Sam told him ofOptimus Prime;this caught the ancient Seeker's interest, revealing eagerness in the Prime's whereabouts, but became distraught to hear of Prime's death. Sam then wondered if the Matrix could restore Optimus to life. Jetfire said it was not the Matrix's intended use, but that the power within was unlike any known. Sadly, this was all Jetfire could do for the group, and after telling them of the riddle, he urged them to hurry off and find theTomb of the Primes.

During the finalbattlearound theGreat Pyramid of Giza(which contained the Star Harvester), Jetfire arrived and attempted to "stick" the landing, which didn't go quite as he planned. He immediately decided to "show how they brought the pain in my day", using his axe to sliceMixmasteracross the chest and decapitate theConstructicon.He was critically wounded by a surprise attack fromScorponokand although he managed to crush the Decepticon's head, the injury was fatal. Fortunately, Jetfire was treated to one last wonder, as Sam Witwicky used the Matrix to resurrect Optimus. Jetfire was overjoyed of the moment, hardly believing that he was seeing a livingPrime.Unfortunately, the Fallen teleported in and attacked, damaging Optimus and stealing the Matrix, placing it in the Star Harvester. As he lay dying, Jetfire, who felt that during his entire life he'd never done a thing worth doing, offered his parts to Optimus Prime, saying that they would give him "a power like you've never known". Telling Optimus to fulfill his destiny, Jetfire ripped out his own spark and died.

Jetfire's sacrifice was not in vain: within moments of his death,RatchetinstructedJoltto begin a full transplant of the rocket thrusters and weapons systems onto Optimus. Now equipped with Jetfire's powerful weapons and engines, Optimus broke through a blockade of debris the Fallen had telekinetically erected around the Pyramid and destroyed the Star Harvester before it could be used against the Earth's Sun. Prime then faced the Fallen and Megatron, using his afterburners to send Megatron flying through some ruins. During the battle, The Fallen pulled off the left afterburner and used it to strike Prime in the face, but Optimus ultimately triumphed and ripped out the Fallen's spark core, finally killing the treacherous Prime. After the battle, Optimus quickly detached Jetfire's parts.Revenge of the Fallen

Immediately after arriving in Egypt, Jetfire was attacked byRansack.Calling Jetfire a traitor, the smaller Seeker fired a single shot which bounced off his target, and Jetfire promptly stomped Ransack to death, muttering how he'd never liked that guy.Revenge of the Fallen (novel)

IDW comics

In the distant past, theAllSparkCube createda raceof powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants ofCybertron.The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers who had the ability to change their shape.

Jetfire was among the very first of these new beings, a "Seeker"with the ability to travel across the vastness of space in search of new suns. Once located, he would lead others and his masters back to it so aharvestercould be constructed to drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark.Defiance #4

Jetfire served directly under thePrimewho would becomeThe Fallen,finding for him various stars to harvest, believing he was serving theDynasty of Primesas a whole, rather than The Fallen's machinations in specific. Over time, The Fallen began to open up to Jetfire, his most loyal and capable Seeker, and told him that the Dynasty no longer served Cybertron's best interests. Jetfire had unwittingly sacrificed a populated star system under The Fallen's misdirection, and became confused.

Still, Jetfire continued to work with The Fallen, despite his doubts. His master and a small army ofConstructicondrones had fashioned a new, secret faction called the Decepticons with the intention of eventually subverting the Dynasty. Jetfire followed them to a desert ona small blue planetto build another star harvester whenprimitivelife made itself known. The Dynasty arrived soon thereafter to put an end to The Fallen's betrayal. Jetfire realized too late that he was on the wrong side, and so The Fallen warped Jetfire and the other "underlings"into orbitso that the Primes could face each other alone. As they fell planetward, Jetfire fought the Constructicons, and was eventually victorious, but with a price. He crashed from orbit into the Earth and laid dormant for thousands of years.Tales of the Fallen #3Tales of the Fallen #4

After he awoke, Jetfire began wandering the EarthTales of the Fallen #3periodically adopting new alternate modes to remain hidden. In1898,while disguised as a portion of theUnited States Navyvessel theUSSMaine,Jetfire sensed energy similar to the Fallen's, and broke away from the wooden housing that formed the rest of his alternate mode (inadvertently leading his human crew to believe they had been attacked, thereby initiating the Spanish-American War) that he might settle the score. Tracking the signal to the Arctic, he instead found a near-comatose robot bearing the Decepticon mark instead. Upon discovering that he wasnotThe Fallen, but someone Jetfire had never heard of namedMegatron,the Seeker just punched him and turned to leave. At this point, Jetfire realized he had an audience: agroup of humanswho had been studying Megatron, and who reacted to Jetfire's presence by shooting at him. Jetfire promptly seizedhis attackerand hurled him to his death, while the other humans used explosives to crack the ice sheets and send Jetfire plummeting into the frigid depths.Original

At the bottom of the ocean, Jetfire discovered a subterranean cave network in which he took refuge. Sensing a familiar energy source somewhere on the planet, the Seeker began to seek... but he was growing progressively low on power, and it took him fifteen years of crawling about underground before he could track the signal to its source. Along the way, he was confronted bystrange, inhuman beaststhat inhabited the caves, and slew all those that dared attack him. Finally, in1913,addled and sluggish from lack of energy, he found the source of the signal: the AllSpark itself, which was in the process of being excavated by the same humans he had met in the Arctic! Fending off another attack on his person, Jetfire reached for the cube, inadvertently triggering a discharge ofEnergonfrom it that broughtseveral surrounding machines to life,and overloaded his systems. To expend the excess energy, Jetfire promptly teleported viaspace bridgeto parts unknown.Irreplaceable

Jetfire next surfaced in1944,in the form of a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, when he was captured byNaziscientists duringWorld War IIand imprisoned in a cryo-chamber inCastle Neuschwanstein.The Nazis studied his body and mind, reverse-engineering transforming tank-mecha from his systems and prising a map of the cave system from his memory. WhenSector Seven—the government organization which had grown out of that original group of humans Jetfire had fought in the Arctic—got wind of the new Nazi technology, they dispatched a unit led byWilliam Simmonsto find and destroy Jetfire. Simmons was the only survivor of the team, and made it into Castle Neuschwanstein before being confronted by the Nazis' ultimate creation, thePanzer-Giganten,which he tried to destroy by throwing a satchel of explosives at it. The explosives instead struck Jetfire's chamber, freeing the Seeker from his confinement, and he proceeded to stop the Panzer-Giganten by tearing out of its human components. Demanding to know how humans could do something so hideous to their own kind, Jetfire was told by Simmons that it was not his doing, and that he believed his bomb would have killed them all, prompting Jetfire to inquire why he valued his life so little. Simmons retorted that he did value his life, but valued freedom more, something that gave Jetfire pause, reminding him of his reasons for turning on The Fallen millennia before. Seeing a kinship in Simmons and in humanity that he had not felt before, he silently destroyed the castle and everyone in it, then flew Simmons to an Allied outpost before disappearing once more.Weapon

Jetfire's experience with Simmons deeply affected him, and he evidently shadowed the man and his organization over the following five years, taking the form of a Lockheed U-2 spy plane. In1954,he was present when sabotage at Sector Seven's Arctic base left Simmons and a small crew trapped with a rapidly-thawing Megatron.Walter Simmonscalled for liquid nitrogen bombs to be dropped on the complex, at which point Jetfire swooped to intervene, transforming and shielding the younger Simmons' wifeAnneandPhilip Nolanfrom the freezing blast. When Jetfire sadly informed Walter that he had been unable to save William, Walter could only ask why he had done anything at all. Jetfire explained that William's nobility had driven him to atone for past sins: before departing, Jetfire told him that he was no longer the creature Walter had met in those caves half a century before... and Walter did not have to be either.FrozenOver the next few years, Jetfire decided to defect to the Autobots, wanting to put his former Decepticon life behind him.

By1964,Jetfire adopted the vehicle mode of aLockheed A-12owned bySector SevenagentHeath Donovan.Remaining in vehicle mode, Jetfire deliveredBumblebeeandP.R.O.G.R.A.M.M.E.agentsDavid ReeveandDiana Luxto a castle used by modern Decepticons as a secret base. En route, Lux had the impression that the jet was alive, only to brush it off as imagination to Jetfire's relief.Energon Is Forever

At some point in the latter half of the twentieth century, Jetfire was wandering in a desert when an SR-71 Blackbird crashed into him and exploded. Amidst the chaos, he took its form.Tales of the Fallen #3

Jetfire harkens from a time when warriors stood by a code of honour. He was first sent to Earth by the Fallen, and believed he was working in the best interests of Cybertron, and so was alittleupset to find the Fallen was actually an evil bastard. After seeing the Fallen imprison theother Primes,Jetfire went into hiding.

• Japanese ID number:EZ-05
• Known designers:Andrew Scribner(deco artist)

LegendsclassRevenge of the FallenJetfire transforms from a tinySR-71 Blackbirdspy plane to a sort of hunchback robot. In a bit of character design accuracy, his left arm has a cane. For some reason, his pair of hands had a 1.5mm compatible holes.

The upper fuselage of the plane mode has a thin rectangular peg to slot into the back ofLegends class Optimus Primeto recreate the powered up mode at the end of the movie. There are no instructions on the packaging making mention of this, but they're hardly needed, as it's as simple as plugging him on and folding his wings backwards.

Apossible variantnearly identical knockoff of the toy has surfaced on several Chinese online shops, so buyers beware! Differences include the red deco on his eyes has changed into a simple dot, the red striping is slightly thicker and more opaque, the scratched Decepticon insignia had smaller scratches and eyes, and the leg joints are the same black plastic color utilized for the Kmart exclusive War for the Skies 4-pack below. It doesn't help that the copyright underneath his upper legs from the genuine mold is retained on this knockoff.

Leader Class toys

• Jetfire(Leader Class, 2009)

• Japanese ID number:RA-13
• Accessories:Front landing gear/walking stick, rotary cannon missile launcher, projectile, back panel/cannon
• Known designers:Takashi Kunihiro(TakaraTomy),Masakatsu Saito(concept artist)

Jetfire transforms into anSR-71 Blackbirdspy plane, quite possibly the largest alternate mode yet for theLeader classprice point. Unfortunately, the vehicle mode he has chosen means that he also has one of the largest amounts of underside robotkibbleever,with his bulky robot mode parts being blatantly visible underneath his sleek jet mode parts.

For accessories, he comes with a spring-loaded,missile-launching rotary cannon which can be mounted underneath his cockpit or onto his left forearm, and his front landing gear becomes a walking stick that he can hold with his jointed hands.

Jetfire features several electronic lights and sounds; in jet mode, pushing the button on his back activates a "swooshing" noise. Pressing the tab on Jetfire's chest turns on the lights in his chest and head, and activates his movingMech Alivegears and head, accompanied by Jetfire announcing: "Jetfire's mah name!". The European version has the clip abbreviated to "Jetfire" (humorously, due to the way that the original clip is trimmed, the end of the word is cut off, so it sounds like "Jetfi-" ). Unlike previous ROTF Leader Class toys, this is not the version sold in the UK. In contrast to the film, where the character speaks with a Yorkshire accent, the toy is positively Scottish.

Despite the back of the package showing two lights within Jetfire's torso, he only has one light, in his left side, while the other socket that would normally house the light is replaced with a button that emits Jetfire's transformation noise when the toy is transformed.

Amusingly, the two jet kibble panels above his head like to pop off theirball jointsockets during transformation. It makes him a little more screen accurate, after all...

The remarkably small text written under the cockpit windows reads, "LT. COL. BRAWLEYWARNING THIS AIRCRAFT CONTAINS A SEAT CONTAINING AN EXPLOSIVE CHARGE SEE MAINTENANCE MANUAL BEFORE REMOVING."

As seen in the movie, he can combine withLeader Class Optimus Primeto form Prime's powered-up mode, albeit at the cost of Optimus Prime's leg articulation. During combination, the (difficult to open) panel on Jetfire's back is removed, revealing on his rear (beside the "swooshing noise" button) a new button that triggers a mechanical stomp sound. The panel itself is transformed and combined with his walking stick to form a skinny-barreled, less slender, and somewhat-inaccurate version of the cannon that Optimus wielded in his combined form.

A few inaccuracies are present in the combination instructions: for instance, while the instructions say to position the cockpit halves behind Prime's shoulders, they actually are meant to sit on top of them (as seen to the left), and feature small grooves into which the small silver triangular prongs lock. In addition, while Optimus' rear cab sections are shown as being folded out like rectangular wings in the instructions, it appears they are intended to sit flat against the sides of the portion of Jetfire that connects to Prime's back. Jetfire has two tabs that sit directly above the panels when folded back which better support the weight of Jetfire. Along with back panels, the struts on which Jetfire's engines are mounted on also pivot back to allow exactly enough space for the folded cab panels to fit.

As with mostTransformerstoy jets, he has a fair bit of undercarriage junk from his robot mode, though not to the extent of the Leader class toy.

• Accessories:Cane, battle axe, Optimus abdominal replacement piece, 2 cannon barrel halves, "Pyramid Desert Battle"backdrop (1st version)
• Known designers:Yūya Ōnishi(TakaraTomy)

Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary ofRevenge of the Fallen,Studio SeriesJetfire is a Leader-sized mold accurate to his appearance inRevenge of the Fallen,transforming into a licensed SR-71 Blackbird. He comes with his cane and battle axe, along with a cardboard backdrop display depictingOperation: Firestorm.The cane doubles as his front landing gear. The axe can store on tabs on his robot back wing kibble, and underneath the jet mode.

He can combine withthe secondStudio SeriesOptimus Prime figureto form "Jetwing Optimus Prime"... althoughthatOptimus figure is based on the character's appearance in the originalTransformersfilm. What's more, Jetfire comes with a duplicate abdominal piece for that same Optimus figure, with a metallic red deco. Presumably, it's meant to be swapped ontoOptimus'Dark of the Moon-based Leader Class figure,allowing him to combine, but it's color-matched toOptimus' first release,an actuallyRevenge of the Fallen-based figure that... lacks the necessary tooling to combine with Jetfire. D'oh!

Unlike the original Leader-class toy, Jetfiresplits into separate componentsto combine with Optimus, just like in the movie! Five of these components form the boots, shoulder pads, and wings for Jetwing Optimus Prime, while Jetfire's upper body forms a big freakin' gun! Two gunmetal pieces used to form the barrel of this cannon are stored on the underside of the wings and plug into the slots where the front of the jet is disconnected from. However, as this gun is roughly a third of Jetfire's mass, it is too heavy for Prime to lift up unassisted. Fortunately, there is a 3 mm port under Jetfire's head, allowing a figure stand (not included) to support the weight of the gun. While the Hasbro release's instructions do not tell you how to form the gun, theTakaraTomy instructionsshow how. The latter's instructions also mention one other feature not shown in Hasbro's instructions: the abdominal replacement piece can be stored in a cavity right behind Jetfire's chest. It should also be noted that the small flip-out tabs on Prime's grill are used to fasten the jet engines to his back securely; this is pointed out but somewhat unclear in the instructions of both versions. Care must be taken when combining him with Optimus, as it can place much stress on the hinges that Prime’s grills are connected to.

In combined mode, the cane folds up and attaches to the large tab on Optimus' left arm, resembling the smaller on-screen gun. The axe can store on the wings/backpack, utilizing the tab used by the gray gun barrel pieces.

A rather severe issue was found on some copies of Jetfire: the pinned hinge connecting the central black strut to Jetfire's chest can break, permanently separating the torso from the rest of the body.

Jetfire's box is noticeably thicker than that of other Studio leaders. The CG renders on the sides of the packaging still use the concept art version of the character, while the one used on the front has a new render with the correct design. The Hasbro instructions amusingly mislabel Jetfire as a Voyager class figure.

Parts of Jetfire's fuselage were reused onCollaborativeUltimate X-Spanse.

"Revenge of the Fallen15th Anniversary "Jetfire is a re-release of the 2019 Jetfire figure, featuring very little, if any deco differences. This release of Jetfire omits the alternate Optimus Prime abdominal piece due to a re-release ofOptimusalso coming in this multi-pack. As to be expected, the two can still combine to form Optimus' super mode fromRevenge of the Fallen's climax.

Alongside the aforementioned Optimus, this version of Jetfire comes in anAmazonexclusive pack alongsideStudio SeriesChromia,Arcee,andElita-1,released in commemoration ofRevenge of the Fallen's 15th anniversary. The set also includes a unique reversible backdrop with the first version of the "Pyramid Desert Battle" scene on one side and the other side featuring the "Shanghai Pursuit" scene.

Notes

• While all the fictions agree that Jetfire was a Decepticon Seeker who defected and has been stuck on Earth for a long time, none agree on when and why he came to Earth, when and why he defected, or how long he snoozed. Random, confused mythos divergence? Nowthat's'80s nostalgia!
• Jetfire's head was redesigned soIndustrial Light & Magiccould animate a smirk on the character. This early, mouthless head was still used for the toy designs and promotional art though.^[2]
• Jetfire's ancient Cybertronian vehicle mode as seen inIDW Publishing'sDefiance#4bears more than a passing similarity to the starshipAxalonfromBeast Wars.
• Jetfire was briefly active during theCuban Missile Crisis,according to one of his comments in theRevenge of the Fallenvideo game.This might explain his current alternate mode in the movie.
• According to an extended bio unlocked on theHunt for the Decepticonswebsite by a code on "The Victory of The Fallen" toy's box, Jetfire's body is filled with mysterious, powerful technology lost to the Autobots for centuries, which explains why it gave Optimus the boost he needed to defeat The Fallen.
• Jetfire's model was tweaked and used for one of the elderly transformers inThe Last Knight,referred to as "Lieutenant"in the credits.
• Jetfire's combination with Optimus Prime is likely a callback totheArmadaversion of the character,and his ability to combine withthe Autobot leader,except this time he's dead and forms armor with a jetpack for Prime, instead of alive and just a pair of trousers with a chestplate.
