Skyfire lives!December 28, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R27L9JR3744T8U Skyfire (Jetfire) is one of the better Transformer toys available today. I got one for my daughter and she loves it. I made this little movie for her to see what he'd look like if he were really transforming.
Awesome TransformerDecember 28, 2007 This is a stong and well made item, not a cheap breakable one. My 10 year old son love it and plays with it al the time.
Great Combination of Skyfire and JetfireSeptember 13, 2007 The really cool thing about this new Jetfire is whoever designed it obviously payed good attention to both the cartoon incarnation (Skyfire) and the toy incarnation (Jetfire) and managed to merge the two. For example, the head of this Jetfire is strongly reminiscent of Skyfire's from the cartoon, but the helmet more closely resembles Jetfire's head. Both the robot and alt form have parts from Skyfire and Jetfire. Personally, I don't think they could have done a better job updating Jetfire. In fact, I think this is the Jetfire we should have had from the beginning...

I always wanted the original old school Jetfire as a kid but never got him and he is very expensive and hard to find now. One day I stopped by Toys R Us and saw this new version and grabbed it right away. I didn't even know there was an updated Jetfire toy until I saw this one. For $20 you can't beat it. Grab it now because they are already out of stock at Hasbro Toy Shop.
jetfire/skyfireAugust 31, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
this is a very good transformer. i remember the scarcity of the original, and how cool he was... the liscensing troubles explained in another reveiw fit, now- but at the time (when i was 12 or so) it just made him mysterious...
i was thrilled when my GF grabbed this one for me, and as with almost all of this generation of transformers, the engineering and complexity is impressive.
my big let-down, and reason for the loss of a star, is that he doesn't transform into the macross mech-style jet body with arms and legs.
it's hard to describe that mode, but those who know what i'm talking about (half jet on top, robot arms and legs below) will be dissapointed that the mode is not available.
but, it is a nice toy that looks great in both modes and has a lot of articulation. it's just that it would appeal mostly to the old-school collectors, and the lack of that in-between mode will bug those same people.

Video Review of City Commander Upgrade Resident Transformer reviewer Peaugh has posted a nice, detailed review of the recently released City Commander upgrade set created for the Classics Universe Ultra Magnus figure.
The video goes in the great step by step detail on how to convert and attach the new addition along with nice video angles showing off the impressive attachments.
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
"Move bots or you'll have to do more transform ups!!!"
