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

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.

Not if I buy him for my chug, making him a generic voyager 🌚

That could be fun, I should do that more often.

Yeah the universe likes to mess with me.

I never go into accessories in What's the best. I don't really see any accessories as imperative to achieving the best status.

The first WTB jetfire ties between the siege and fanstoys in the same sort of way

Except now I realize that was wrong. The FT doesn't have the right to hold the Siege's Jock.

Yeah this is the first time I think it's really been where the top 3 are all close enough and have such a Spread in role, that even though there is a best one, there is nothing wrong with picking the one that fits your collection most.

And it's cool that in a Competition with figures this good, that a Legends figure can still find the way to be the best one.

I'm glad someone really appreciated all the work I went to for that.

I will annihilate the Comic Scum.

@@PerspectiveEnd you can try, you will fail #rumbleisredfrenzyisbluemiragecan’tturninvisiblehecreatesmirages

They just rereleased him, try Entertainment Earth or Bigbadtoystore.

He was recently rereleased, and there's the OSKO one coming down the pipe too.

It's weird and I don't know why it happened. I almost wonder if the face was the one thing they hadn't finalized yet, so to compete with NA they just rushed it out the door with the other figure's head.

I mean kind of, but like the Dorkiest version of that possible.

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.

@@PerspectiveEnd in cuberverse and siege he was called jetfire. the name of skyfire most likely hasnt been trademarked for years

I mean I remember it always looking dirty in places. I mean I still here tales of new figures yellowing.

@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, that is the figure yellowing in the box. like what happened to so many Netflix Megatrons (turning Bronze) and Shattered Glass Starscreams. man, you don't ever forget the primordial terror of opening a box for the first time and releasing a severely discolored Netflix Soundwave.

It's really fun, I think you'd enjoy it.

There are several good options here, so which are you leaning toward?

@@PerspectiveEnd won’t lie I’m think the MP

That doesn't sound like a Very opposite of me thing to do.

@@PerspectiveEnd I have a grudge against him, this is personal

I've tried rotating them, No matter what Orientation I put them in, he never feels stable.

It does look very cool, I just wish it was more fun to handle.

I disagree on both counts. The Backbone of the franchise is the Media. Without that no one would care about the toys. Look at the Gobots, bad show came out first, no one cared, Transformers had a far better show, and people love it to this day, despite G1 toys being more primitive in a lot of instances than Gobots.

I mean who else would it be?

@@PerspectiveEnd good point, I was probably thinking about ROTF jetfire when I wrote that, but now I'm re-realizing how little (in terms of popularity overall) he is

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

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.

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.

@@PerspectiveEnd I love their transformations too, and nylon feels pretty good (to me). I ended up having to offload most of my MS stuff, so I'll live vicariously through others' reviews, haha

It's not quite 20 minutes, but if you round then yes.

I'm not picking up the tune you are clearly trying to imply.

You did yes. And I wanted to get it out Immediately after that, but Reveals go in the way.

I honestly don't know why other people refuse to accept this take. I wouldn't even call it a take, it's the obvious truth of the matter. They are 2 different people and it doesn't matter what Hasbro Intended, the result is the result.

Happy to have finally provided the video you needed. I do think I covered all the ones that had any hope of being the best.

That's just the "Inspected by" thats the weird one the Cult leaves on because that's just what you do with FT stuff.

It was a big deal like one year ago, but not for very long time.

Skyfire has always been one of my Favorites. And you never saw the first video before now?

@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah I guess I never got around to watching it or maybe it was before I subscribed. I have remedied that mistake!

I did not. That's weird.

@@PerspectiveEnd the name was later used for two other guys.

Your mind is unsound my friend. But I did forget Titanium Skyfire exists yes.

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

I mean Maketoys is just struggling to survive right now.

I can only assume they put all their stock into their Masterpiece line and in the end it just wasn’t competing with the top players, such a shame, I enjoyed a lot of their stuff, from chug to masterpiece

Exactly, it should not be both.

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.

Yeah, that's the problem with 3P Legends, they are fantastic, but it feels like you are buying a MUCH larger figure.

I hope they stay back now.

Oh yeah? How is that?

@@PerspectiveEnd recently (2 weeks ago) left the below comment on the Fanstoys Phoenix review: Kat: "So uhm... how did this vid age with the proper release of the masterpiece?" PE: "Poorly honestly. The Actual MP makes me go "What coolaid was I drinking when I reviewed this." Kat: "@PerspectiveEnd can we get some retrospective of you analyzing changes between the prototype images and in-hand shots of MP Skyfire?"

I do plan to do them soon hopefully.

Crap, I forgot the Titanium one exists. I wouldn't call the Siege one too busy on the details?

@@PerspectiveEnd Well, it is, but it is also in line with the rest of the WFC "aesthetic" so thats that. Either way i like it, though the masterpiece and third party versions kick its ass.

What do you mean he has the Markings.

@@PerspectiveEnd the fact that stuff like the colour, alt mode, accent, design, and size are the exact opposite of G1 Jetfire *insert the clip from the ROTF roast.*

I did yes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G5Nnxu9FW2w.html&ab_channel=PerspectiveEnd

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

You did the lords work that day.

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

I guess you are Technically correct about that, I was getting confused because of the CW Seekers.

@@PerspectiveEnd sorry for busting your balls but I just had to for shitting on ER Cliffjumper..... j/k. Or was i?

The Marvel Comics don't coouuuuUUUNT!!!

Are you talking about the Off White he's painted in? The Heck is Quantron?

Yes, the ugly off-white paint on Siege Skyfire's legs, etc. I always assumed it was heatshielding, & Sky Lynx having it, as literal heatshielding, just confirmed it for me. You didn't know MakeToys made a Computron?

Indeed I believe it was, so in a Weird way I did cover the 06 figure in this.

It's understandable honestly.

@@PerspectiveEnd I guess.

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

Yeah they were supposed to have the same name, but they never wound up being that way. Skyfire was always called Skyfire, and Jetfire was always called Jetfire, so when it came down to actual Reality they were only ever separate guys.

What is this about legacy Blaster? Did I mention him in the video?

And there were still 3 missing from this video.

@@PerspectiveEnd I need a damn skyfire

Feel free to do a What's the Best on what ever you want. I don't have a Copyright.

They are like stuck out to the side for me.

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.

I assume the Chunky Monkey is the 2006 figure? I can assure you that it would wind up really low, on poseability alone it'd be the worst.

It's the Format of this show what can I say. I'm trying to find a specific thing with it. I still appreciate what they do with their stylization, it's just not what this show is trying to locate.

Yeah, I don't know what I was smoking in the original video. I have no idea how I thought it was even close. Like the FT isn't terrible, but it's Ugly, Inaccurate, Over Priced, and the Transformation just isn't as good, plus the altmode messes up the nosecone, in not only being stepped in the front but all it's angles are wrong.

Oh this absolutely came with all that stuff, but if you notice I didn't talk about the Accessories for any of the figures. Accessories is not a Category that I ever consider in What's the Best. I'd say it has better than Decent Poseablity.

And you aren't Short Changed on a one of those. They are all fantastic. Yeah, I'm thrilled that the MP Skyfire didn't wind up a mess. He is the New MP Style of Supreme accuracy above all else done right.

What third one? The Siege one? Because it's both the third one I talked about and the one that took third place.

@@PerspectiveEnd make toys buster Skylink, he looks like Gigatron and Skyfire had a son who stole Deathsaurus' helmet

I can't say that I KNEW that, but I did theorize it, despite the fact that seemed really Improvised. I hope they can stick the landing.

I hear their Prime is better, and I love their Megatron. This things transformation s Cancer.

I have not seen it yet though I want to. And the nose cones have the same general shape, but the step in them is the part that I'm taking issue with.

Well I mean I'm actually one of those guys. While I support there being at least 1 version of Each that doesn't have it for supreme accuracy, I do think that most probably should have it. And honestly like the DS version of Starscream's waist cut isn't even bad at all.

So in a Roundabout way I did cover the classics figure.

What you mean dreaming about losing it? How would having it prevents that? Wouldn't it just increase the dreams?

You are correct, they retooled it to make a set of Seekers in CW and I got confused by that.

@@PerspectiveEnd that’s kinda cool. I’ve seen those Seekers and I’m ashamed to say I never noticed they were retools. It’s pretty clear in retrospect too. T30 Skyfire is a good mold to make Seekers outta. For the time, anyway. I’m happier with the Siege version. I also own some ERs, but they’re disappointing. I hate how Hasbro basically upscaled the classics figure, yet completely failed to make it feel truly modern. How could they not have engineered a waist swivel or wrist rotation? You’d think Hasbro would want their follow ups to the glorious Siege Tetrajet Seekers to be as good, if not better. They shoulda made a new mold entirely. Could you fucking imagine if they used the Classics Jetfire mold as a basis for Siege’s iteration? Wow. That woulda been crap beyond crap. I own Classics Jetfire and I hate it now. It was the first Jetfire I’d ever owned. I was just excited to have him. I didn’t care about articulation or accuracy or anything way back then. My tastes have been refined to the point I can no longer stomach the figure. I regret wasting money on Toyhax decals for it. Thought if the deco was better, I’d like it more. All I did was pretty up a turd some. I do like the head sculpt and helmet though. I’m glad Hasbro imported that little play feature to Siege, more or less. The alt-mode is a fine generic scifi plane, I feel, but a miserable Jetfire. On an aside. I think it would be rad to get a Titan sized Jetfire so he could scale better with CHUG. You an me share the same opinion when it comes to how huge he’s supposed to be. You mentioned an upscaled Siege Jetfire was being made? I’ll bet that’ll be frigging gigantic!

Actually I cant say that I have. Maybe one time before but it doesn't stand out in my head. Id need to think up a criteria for that but I might try.

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

@@PerspectiveEnd should be the first result if you directly google "papercraft jetfire" used to be on a website called paperrobots1999 but the website got taken down a while back unfortunately

​@@PerspectiveEnd RU-vid keeps deleting my reply. It should be the first (or first three) result that pops up if you directly google "papercraft jetfire". It used to be on a website called paperrobots1999 but got shut down unfortunately

That is actually a Facet of the Story I forgot. I'm holding off on buying that right now because I don't know how much better it will be, and what will I do with the old one if it really is a LOT better. Yeah I'm not sure how much bigger it will be. Usually those OSKO sizes are tentative before the figure is released.

@@PerspectiveEnd Perhaps if you got in contact with MS, they might be willing to work out an exchange/deal if you tell them you're a reviewer?

He is just Barely taller than Optimus.

Thundercracker as a character not so much. 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.

The Tf classics line in 2006 brought back Jetfire.

Indeed, it's nice to see Harmony Gold being forced to go home without their ball.

And what does that have to do with anything. So what if that's what he was called for what ever reason. I know a guy who has the wrong name because the Nurse didn't know how to spell what she was told. The fact of the matter is that for what ever reason that is his name. It's Skyfire. And no you are being silly. You are giving a character a name that's not theirs's just because it's what Hasbro intended but never did, meanwhile it's a name directly associated with a character who that name 100% belonged to.

Which figure are you talking about with the Gappyness?

@@PerspectiveEnd Fanstoys. The underarm to chestular region.

I'm pretty sure Maketoys has either Gone Under, or they only do rereleases now and not make ne products any more. So what have you decided to get for your MP Scale Skyfire?

@@PerspectiveEnd I’ll just wait for the ko of mp skyfire,the fanstoys looks really good but way to fucking pricy,ko siege is goood to but I already have the sg so I’ll wait for a ko of mp skyfire

What was the question.

@@PerspectiveEnd "what's the best skyfire" Also, it's a Zakir naik reference

It does have that, and that is cool, it's just too bad that's not more common.

What do you mean he's too big for headmasters?

@@PerspectiveEnd the spaces meantt for headmasters are also oversized and as such tthey fitt loosely and look small.

Oh like the cockpit and backpack.

@@PerspectiveEnd yeah. also the handles on the bottom are too big for anyone to hold. to make up for it there was a stand included that can plug on the bottom in jet mode and act as a gap filler. quite alot of value for 100 bucks.

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

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

It was supposed to be his name yes, but it never ended up getting used that way in a practical sense.

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

@@PerspectiveEnd The one I have is Voyager-class sized, and it´s the one with cool cannon gimmicks and based on IDW Stormbringer design.

I see. That will soak up your time yes.

Sorry to hear that. It's supposed to just look like the Decepticon Logo, though there is a lot more to the story than just that.

But in doing so you are mashing two characters into each other. Jetfire is his own unique Individual. Why not let them both be distinct.

But I don't like Menasor.

@@PerspectiveEnd bad excuse

As do I clearly.

It’s hard for just about everyone to find. Distribution is fucked, making figures rarer than they really ought to be, and therefore much more expensive than they really ought to be.

The Oversized KO of that may prove a bit easier when it finally drops.

I think most of them actually do. I just didn't bring it up because I don't see the point.

I mean it was called Jeftire in the comic.

Oh Hush you.
