'''Jetstorm''' and his [[twin]] [[brother]] [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] are part of a risky Autobot [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] experiment in duplicating the flight and combat abilities of the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. While the experiment gave them incredible new powers, it did absolutely nothing to blunt their hyperactive, act-without-thinking natures. Jetstorm is capable of attacking with incredible bursts of wind in both robot and jet modes, creating focused cyclones with devastating force (if somewhat questionable accuracy). Luckily, he's one of the few bots who actually listens to [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], and stops his attack once his commander barks out his order to do so... though usually by that time, the damage has already been done.

The twins also have the ability to combine into a superjet ''and'' the powerful robot [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]]. Both modes greatly enhance their combat effectiveness... but not their wits, unfortunately.

''Jetstorm was a simple repair bot who, along with his brother Jetfire, nearly died in an on-site accident. Viewed by the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] as completely expendable, Jetstorm and his brother were chosen to have [[Decepticon]] coding (acquired from [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] during his time in custody) grafted onto their Autobot shells in hopes that the pair would gain the Decepticons' flight abilities. [[Wheeljack (Animated)|Wheeljack]], [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] and [[Red Alert (Animated)|Red Alert]] did the necessary calculations and programming needed. After this, the pair's combat abilities were tested against [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]], whom they easily defeated.''

[[Image:Jetstormdoesnotswing.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Boot" is a sound effect?]]

''To try their combat skills against a Decepticon, Starscream's programming was scanned into a combat simulator. However, Starscream's programming overpowered the training system, and the battle became real. Starscream's strength and cunning were more than they expected; Jetfire briefly lost control of his flame throwers and began to burn up, only to be saved when Jetstorm's wind turbines put out the flames. With newfound determination, the two combined into Safeguard for the first time and destroyed the virtual Decepticon. After this performance, Jetstorm and his brother were inducted into the Elite Guard. {{storylink|First (and Second) in Flight}}''

Later, Jetstorm, along with his brother, Jazz, and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], were sent by [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] to chase after the supposed Decepticon spy [[Wasp]]. The twins soon found a Wasp-disguised [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], whom Wasp intended to frame by swapping paint jobs, helmets and voices, but Jetstorm accidentally (and literally) blew Bumblebee away. They then were confronted by [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who mistook them for Decepticons due to their ability to fly. After a one-on-one battle with Optimus & Ratchet (with Jetstorm facing Optimus and Jetfire facing Ratchet, respectively), the two combined into Safeguard to try and gain the upper hand, only to have the brawl end when Sentinel and Jazz arrived and cleared up the misunderstanding. Then, under Sentinel's orders, the twins set out to find Wasp once more.

They later found him with [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]], who tried to convince them that Wasp had swapped places with Bumblebee, but to no avail. The twins assumed all three to be traitors and attacked them. The long battle was once again broken up by the others, who had become at least partly convinced of Bumblebee's true identity. The group quickly headed back to the Autobots' base to try and sort out the matter. During the fighting, however, Wasp had hacked into the Autobots' files on Bumblebee, allowing Wasp to know everything about him. Bulkhead decided to settle it with a game of ''Ninja Gladiator'' to determine the real Bumblebee. Jetfire and Jetstorm were so delighted by the concept of video games that they both shouted that they would play the winner. This would not happen, as Wasp revealed his true identity under the pressure. He swapped the paint jobs back and was able to escape. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

[[Image:Jetstormpose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Say cheeeeeese!]]
Later on, they were just as out of the loop as Jazz and Optimus when Sentinel was tracking down Decepticons, although they were considerably less cynical about the captures than the others. They did however combine to fight [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]] when Sentinel's stupid ego-trip backfired on him.{{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

Jetstorm, along with Jetfire, later proceeded to assist Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee in capturing Wasp, and when Wasp escaped, and was captured, Jetstorm, along with Jetfire, was tasked with carrying Sentinel all the way to [[Dinobot Island (Animated) |Dinobot Island]]. Once on Dinobot Island, Jetstorm and Jetfire were assigned with the task of diverting the Dinobots away from the entrance to [[Blackarachnia (Animated) |Blackarachnia]]'s lab. Jetstorm proceeded to distract [[Grimlock (Animated) |Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (Animated) |Snarl]], while Jetfire handled [[Swoop (Animated) |Swoop]]. Just after they had defeated the Dinobots, [[Wasp|Waspinator]] and Blackarachnia suddenly emerged from the lab, and they (Jetfire & Jetstorm) helped Sentinel get to a safe distance, before Waspinator blew up.
{{Storylink|Predacons Rising}}

While on the return trip to Cybertron, Sentinel decided to take the ship through a storm cloud, with Jetstorm ordered to "Maintain this heading". Unfortunately though, the electricity from the storm awakened [[Swindle (Animated) |Swindle]], who, in turn, freed the rest of the captive Decepticons. Jetstorm and Jetfire eventually ended up contained in a bubble from Swindle's "Stasis-Suspension Ray", and left in a prison-cell on the ''[[Steelhaven (Animated)|Steelhaven]]'' to rot. However, Sentinel sent out a message to Optimus Prime for back-up, who managed to transwarp to the ship, and free all of the Autobots. Just then [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] managed to [[Punch of Kill Everything|P.O.K.E]] a hole in the ship, causing everyone (except Jazz) to be sucked into space. Jetstorm and Jetfire then proceeded to combine into Safeguard's jet mode, and take on Lugnut. After Sentinel was captured by [[Blitzwing (Animated) |Blitzwing]], they, along with Optimus Prime, surrendered. They were put into the decontamination chamber (which Optimus ordered Jazz to turn into a freezing unit), and as the Decepticons were about to freeze them, it was revealed that Jazz had set it so that anything outside the chamber would be frozen, and in this case, that was the Decepticons. The Elite Guard then proceeded to drop Optimus off on Earth, and Jetstorm and Jetfire witnessed Sentinel's Magnus inauguration parade.{{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

Jetstorm was later present when Sentinel Prime attempted to scold Ratchet and [[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]] for seemingly breaking Cybertronian curfew (Man, Sentinel's strict) and using a Space Bridge. He then, along with Jetfire, assisted in bringing Ratchet back to the [[Metroplex (Animated) |Metroplex]]. Jetstorm was later ordered to divert all energon to [[Fortress Maximus (Animated) |Fortress Maximus]], to be used as a weapon against the Decepticon-controlled [[Omega Supreme (Animated) |Omega Supreme]]. They did actually fire the weapon after [[Shockwave (Animated) |Shockwave]] boarded the vessel with his hostage, [[Arcee (Animated) |Arcee]], but the giant Autobot transwarped away.{{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

Together with Jetfire, Jetstorm pursued the Decepticon [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] all the way to the [[Earth]] city of [[Detroit]]. Enthusiastic (and posing very, er, ''effeminately''), Jetstorm proceeded to attack Blackout in robot-mode, amused that the hulking brute was too big to fight back against such small, quick opponents. Jetstorm then combined with Jetfire into [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]] and proceeded to fight Blackout bruiser-to-bruiser. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 4}}

Jetstorm later hooked back up with the rest of the Elite Guard and joined in their inquiry as to why Optimus Prime and his crew had yet to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 5}}

Back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Jetstorm and his brother joined Sentinel and a throng of Autobots in welcoming the victorious Optimus Prime and his crew home. {{storylink|The Cool Episode Final}}

*'''Jetfire and Jetstorm''' (Entertainment Pack, 2008)

: Available only in a two-pack with his brother Jetfire, Jetstorm transforms into a blue, wedge-shaped Cybertronic jet. He features pop-up "wind blades" in his robot mode armor. He can combine with his brother in both modes; in vehicle mode, they form an odd super-jet simply by docking together along their undercarriages (Yes, yes, har har, very droll), while Jetstorm's robot mode forms the left half of the super robot Safeguard.

:In a clever touch, both feet are sculpted on the back to look like fists (to make the toy more symmetrical), but only one leg actually can become an arm.

: Both Jetfire and Jetstorm can flip open their cockpits. Nice. Pointless, but nice.

: The set comes with a bonus comic book, "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]", which details the creation of the twins. For some reason, the comic included ''in'' the box contradicts their [[bio]] printed ''on'' the box.

* Both twins speak with a pronounced Russian [[Accents|accent]].<ref>[http://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/statuses/2212733768 Twitter post by Derrick Wyatt]</ref>

* Jetstorm's design, revealed at [[BotCon 2008]], contains numerous [[homage]]s to the ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Vehicon general]] [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]], particularly his helmet.

* Jetfire and Jetstorm's fire/wind theme has its roots in some of the earliest concepts of ''Animated''. [[Sean Galloway]], who had been commissioned to do early concept work for the series, revealed several pieces of this concept art long before the "final" [[Derrick J.

* The twins' method of combination is seemingly an intentional homage to Hyoryū and Enryū/Chōryūjin from the final installment of Takara's [[Brave (franchise)|Brave]] Series, ''King of Braves GaoGaiGar''.

* In the early stages of the toy's development, the end of the twins' combined vehicle mode was supposed to split apart and wings were supposed to slide out of the shins, so that the combined mode resembled an [[Luke Skywalker|X-wing fighter]].<ref>http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2008/09/hey-everybody-its-prowl.html</ref> However, this did not appear in the released instructions.

* Perceptor's dialogue in the "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]" comic implies that the twins were split from one [[protoform]], possibly indicating that Safeguard is their true form.

He also said this was due to their working in the industrial sector. [1]

'''Jetfire''' and his [[twin]] [[brother]] [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] are part of a risky Autobot [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] experiment in duplicating the flight and combat abilities of the [[Decepticon]]s. What the Autobots got were two incredibly rambunctious, cocky, and oddly naive robots with devastating combat power and acrobatic skill. Jetfire, true to his name, has the ability to create massive bursts of flame in both robot and jet modes. However, his accuracy and judgment as to when to use this power are questionable at best. Thankfully, he actually listens to [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]'s orders to throttle down once they get on his nerves (which is often).

The twins also have the ability to combine into a superjet, or into the robot [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]]... modes that makes them even more physically powerful, but no less prone to acting without thinking.

Later, Jetfire, along with his brother, Jazz, and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], were sent by [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] to chase after the supposed Decepticon spy [[Wasp]]. Pursuing their quarry to Earth, the twins soon found a Wasp-disguised [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], whom Wasp intended to frame by swapping paint jobs, helmets and voices, and Jetfire was able to make at least one fireball attack before Jetstorm accidentally (and literally) blew Bumblebee away. They then were confronted by [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who mistook them for Decepticons due to their ability to fly.

This would not happen, as Wasp revealed his true identity under the pressure. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

Later, Jetfire was asked by his brother to take a picture of him in front of the captured [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] for the "Femme-bots back home". Sentinel Prime then asked them to work on their ship's "sub-space guidance gyro-stabilizer", but they could not get it to work, and they discovered the replacement part was missing. They later witnessed Sentinel give Prowl a telling-off for accusing him of working with someone else to capture fugitive Decepticons, which Sentinel denied. That night, Prowl followed Sentinel to the Tigatron Stadium, and Jazz brought Jetfire, Jetstorm, and Optimus Prime as backup. When Sentinel was captured by [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]], Jetfire & Jetstorm combined into Safeguard in order to help get their commander back from Decepticon clutches. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

Shortly afterward, Wasp went on a psycho-rampage through the city, so Jetfire, along with Jetstorm, Sentinel, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee, went after him. During the pursuit, Jetfire and his brother tried unsuccessfully to prevent Wasp being abducted by [[Swoop (Animated) |Swoop]]. Sentinel then commanded them to launch an electromagnetic grapple, with which they hauled their commander all the way to Dinobot Island. Upon arriving (and dropping Sentinel head-first into the sand), Jetfire and Jetstorm were assigned to distract the Dinobots so Sentinel could gain entrance to [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s base. While Jetstorm dealt with [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]], Jetfire took on Swoop, engulfing the Dinobot in flames. When Waspinator was overloading with transwarp energy, Jetfire & Jetstorm helped get a weakened Sentinel Prime to safety. Later, Jetfire and his brother taunted Sentinel about his hatred of both Earth and organics, only to be ordered back aboard their ship. {{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

En route home, the Elite Guard flagship was about to head through a highly charged cloud of space debris, so Jetfire was commanded to watch the ship's energon readings to make sure the ship didn't run out of power. When the Decepticons managed to break into the bridge of the ship, [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]] easily managed to capture the twins in an energy bubble using a stasis-suspension ray. Thankfully, Optimus managed to transwarp onto the ship after getting an encrypted message from Sentinel, and he freed Jetfire and the rest of the Elite Guard from the stasis-cuffs the Decepticons had slapped on them. Later, after Lugnut managed to [[Punch of Kill Everything|P.O.K.E.]] a hole in the ship, Jetfire & Jetstorm combined into Safeguard's jet-mode in order to combat the Decepticons in space. Once Blitzwing had managed to capture Sentinel, Optimus convinced both Jetfire and Jetstorm to surrender, assuring them that things would be okay. The Decepticons placed Jetfire and the others into the ship's decontamination chamber to be frozen. It turned out that Optimus had secretly commanded Jazz to rewire the chamber so everyone OUTside it was frozen. Thus the Decepticons were re-captured and Jetfire was spared an icy incarceration. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

When Ratchet and Fanzone were transwarped to Cybertron, Jetfire and the rest of the Elite Guard found them outside of [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]]. Then a Decepticon-controlled [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] appeared over Cybertron, and Sentinel ordered that Ratchet and Fanzone be brought back to the [[Metroplex (Animated)|Metroplex]], so Jetfire and his brother proceeded to apprehend Ratchet. When Ratchet threatened Sentinel for suggesting firing on Omega Supreme, Jetfire and Jetstorm were ordered to arrest both Ratchet and Fanzone, but Fanzone's sneeze scared them so badly that Ratchet was able to knock them aside. Jetfire and Jetstorm were then ordered to divert all energon to [[Fortress Maximus (Animated)|Fortress Maximus]], in case Megatron attacked. When Shockwave got away with [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] and boarded Omega Supreme, Jetfire and his brother were ordered to fire on the giant Autobot, but Omega Supreme transwarped away. Jetfire and Jetstorm later witnessed Sentinel get a telling-off from [[Alpha Trion (Animated)|Alpha Trion]] and saw Ratchet and Fanzone commit "intergalactic grand theft" by taking the Magnus Hammer back to Earth with them. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

* [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] had no input over Jetfire's name, as the twins were largely the work of [[Eric Siebenaler]]; Wyatt only did a "once-over" of their aesthetics to match the rest of the series near the end of their development cycle. That's the reason why ''Animated'' Jetfire does not have a more "traditional" [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] design. As such, Wyatt says that if he ever does an homage to the original Jetfire's design, he would gladly call the character "[[Skyfire (disambiguation)|Skyfire]]". (Of course, that [[trademark]] isn't actually available to [[Hasbro]] for toys, but that doesn't matter for a TV show.)

* Perceptor's dialogue in the "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]" comic implies that Jetfire and Jetstorm were split from one protoform, possibly making Safeguard their true form. Such a theory is supported by Safeguard's being unnaturally intelligent for a combiner, and his possessing of his own alternate mode.

* In a conversation with one of his fan's on a piece of fan art on his Deviantart page, The Boo, who worked on the first half of the "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]" comic, revealed that Jetfire and Jetstorm's original vehicle modes were similar to ATV's instead of cycles or other types of vehicles.

'''Jetstorm''' and his [[twin]] [[brother]] [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] are part of a risky Autobot [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] experiment in duplicating the flight and combat abilities of the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. While the experiment gave them incredible new powers, it did absolutely nothing to blunt their hyperactive, act-without-thinking natures. Jetstorm is capable of attacking with incredible bursts of wind in both robot and jet modes, creating focused cyclones with devastating force (if somewhat questionable accuracy). Luckily, he's one of the few bots who actually listens to [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], and stops his attack once his commander barks out his order to do so... though usually by that time, the damage has already been done.

The twins also have the ability to combine into a superjet ''and'' the powerful robot [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]]. Both modes greatly enhance their combat effectiveness... but not their wits, unfortunately.

The twins soon found a Wasp-disguised [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], whom Wasp intended to frame by swapping paint jobs, helmets and voices, but Jetstorm accidentally (and literally) blew Bumblebee away. They then were confronted by [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who mistook them for Decepticons due to their ability to fly. After a one-on-one battle with Optimus & Ratchet (with Jetstorm facing Optimus and Jetfire facing Ratchet, respectively), the two combined into Safeguard to try and gain the upper hand, only to have the brawl end when Sentinel and Jazz arrived and cleared up the misunderstanding. Then, under Sentinel's orders, the twins set out to find Wasp once more.

They later found him with [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]], who tried to convince them that Wasp had swapped places with Bumblebee, but to no avail. The twins assumed all three to be traitors and attacked them. The long battle was once again broken up by the others, who had become at least partly convinced of Bumblebee's true identity. The group quickly headed back to the Autobots' base to try and sort out the matter. During the fighting, however, Wasp had hacked into the Autobots' files on Bumblebee, allowing Wasp to know everything about him. Bulkhead decided to settle it with a game of ''Ninja Gladiator'' to determine the real Bumblebee. Jetfire and Jetstorm were so delighted by the concept of video games that they both shouted that they would play the winner. This would not happen, as Wasp revealed his true identity under the pressure. He swapped the paint jobs back and was able to escape. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

[[Image:Jetstormpose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Say cheeeeeese!]]
Later on, they were just as out of the loop as Jazz and Optimus when Sentinel was tracking down Decepticons, although they were considerably less cynical about the captures than the others. They did however combine to fight [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]] when Sentinel's stupid ego-trip backfired on him.{{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

Jetstorm, along with Jetfire, later proceeded to assist Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee in capturing Wasp, and when Wasp escaped, and was captured, Jetstorm, along with Jetfire, was tasked with carrying Sentinel all the way to [[Dinobot Island (Animated) |Dinobot Island]]. Once on Dinobot Island, Jetstorm and Jetfire were assigned with the task of diverting the Dinobots away from the entrance to [[Blackarachnia (Animated) |Blackarachnia]]'s lab. Jetstorm proceeded to distract [[Grimlock (Animated) |Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (Animated) |Snarl]], while Jetfire handled [[Swoop (Animated) |Swoop]]. Just after they had defeated the Dinobots, [[Wasp|Waspinator]] and Blackarachnia suddenly emerged from the lab, and they (Jetfire & Jetstorm) helped Sentinel get to a safe distance, before Waspinator blew up.
{{Storylink|Predacons Rising}}

While on the return trip to Cybertron, Sentinel decided to take the ship through a storm cloud, with Jetstorm ordered to "Maintain this heading". Unfortunately though, the electricity from the storm awakened [[Swindle (Animated) |Swindle]], who, in turn, freed the rest of the captive Decepticons. Jetstorm and Jetfire eventually ended up contained in a bubble from Swindle's "Stasis-Suspension Ray", and left in a prison-cell on the ''[[Steelhaven (Animated)|Steelhaven]]'' to rot. However, Sentinel sent out a message to Optimus Prime for back-up, who managed to transwarp to the ship, and free all of the Autobots. Just then [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] managed to [[Punch of Kill Everything|P.O.K.E]] a hole in the ship, causing everyone (except Jazz) to be sucked into space. Jetstorm and Jetfire then proceeded to combine into Safeguard's jet mode, and take on Lugnut. After Sentinel was captured by [[Blitzwing (Animated) |Blitzwing]], they, along with Optimus Prime, surrendered. They were put into the decontamination chamber (which Optimus ordered Jazz to turn into a freezing unit), and as the Decepticons were about to freeze them, it was revealed that Jazz had set it so that anything outside the chamber would be frozen, and in this case, that was the Decepticons. The Elite Guard then proceeded to drop Optimus off on Earth, and Jetstorm and Jetfire witnessed Sentinel's Magnus inauguration parade.{{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

Jetstorm was later present when Sentinel Prime attempted to scold Ratchet and [[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]] for seemingly breaking Cybertronian curfew (Man, Sentinel's strict) and using a Space Bridge. He then, along with Jetfire, assisted in bringing Ratchet back to the [[Metroplex (Animated) |Metroplex]]. Jetstorm was later ordered to divert all energon to [[Fortress Maximus (Animated) |Fortress Maximus]], to be used as a weapon against the Decepticon-controlled [[Omega Supreme (Animated) |Omega Supreme]]. They did actually fire the weapon after [[Shockwave (Animated) |Shockwave]] boarded the vessel with his hostage, [[Arcee (Animated) |Arcee]], but the giant Autobot transwarped away.{{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

Together with Jetfire, Jetstorm pursued the Decepticon [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] all the way to the [[Earth]] city of [[Detroit]]. Enthusiastic (and posing very, er, ''effeminately''), Jetstorm proceeded to attack Blackout in robot-mode, amused that the hulking brute was too big to fight back against such small, quick opponents. Jetstorm then combined with Jetfire into [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]] and proceeded to fight Blackout bruiser-to-bruiser. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 4}}

Jetstorm later hooked back up with the rest of the Elite Guard and joined in their inquiry as to why Optimus Prime and his crew had yet to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 5}}

Back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Jetstorm and his brother joined Sentinel and a throng of Autobots in welcoming the victorious Optimus Prime and his crew home. {{storylink|The Cool Episode Final}}

*'''Jetfire and Jetstorm''' (Entertainment Pack, 2008)

: Available only in a two-pack with his brother Jetfire, Jetstorm transforms into a blue, wedge-shaped Cybertronic jet. He features pop-up "wind blades" in his robot mode armor. He can combine with his brother in both modes; in vehicle mode, they form an odd super-jet simply by docking together along their undercarriages (Yes, yes, har har, very droll), while Jetstorm's robot mode forms the left half of the super robot Safeguard.

:In a clever touch, both feet are sculpted on the back to look like fists (to make the toy more symmetrical), but only one leg actually can become an arm.

: Both Jetfire and Jetstorm can flip open their cockpits. Nice. Pointless, but nice.

: The set comes with a bonus comic book, "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]", which details the creation of the twins. For some reason, the comic included ''in'' the box contradicts their [[bio]] printed ''on'' the box.

* Jetstorm's design, revealed at [[BotCon 2008]], contains numerous [[homage]]s to the ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Vehicon general]] [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]], particularly his helmet.

* Jetfire and Jetstorm's fire/wind theme has its roots in some of the earliest concepts of ''Animated''. [[Sean Galloway]], who had been commissioned to do early concept work for the series, revealed several pieces of this concept art long before the "final" [[Derrick J.

He also said this was due to their working in the industrial sector.

[[Image:Jetfireanimatedboxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Ready, Ronald?"<br>"Ready when you are, Professor Stein."]]

'''Jetfire''' and his [[twin]] [[brother]] [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] are part of a risky Autobot [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] experiment in duplicating the flight and combat abilities of the [[Decepticon]]s. What the Autobots got were two incredibly rambunctious, cocky, and oddly naive robots with devastating combat power and acrobatic skill. Jetfire, true to his name, has the ability to create massive bursts of flame in both robot and jet modes. However, his accuracy and judgment as to when to use this power are questionable at best. Thankfully, he actually listens to [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]'s orders to throttle down once they get on his nerves (which is often).

The twins also have the ability to combine into a superjet, or into the robot [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]]... modes that makes them even more physically powerful, but no less prone to acting without thinking.

[[Image:Jetfirejetstormzackly.jpg|left|200px|thumb|He probably thinks the "henbotway" joke is funny too.]]

''Jetfire was a simple repair bot who, along with his brother Jetstorm, nearly died in an on-site accident. Viewed by the Elite Guard as completely expendable, Jetfire and his brother were chosen to have [[Decepticon]] coding (acquired from [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] during his time in custody) grafted onto their Autobot shells in hopes that the pair would gain the Decepticons' flight abilities. [[Wheeljack (Animated)|Wheeljack]], [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] and [[Red Alert (Animated)|Red Alert]] did the necessary calculations and programming needed. After this, the pair's combat abilities were tested against [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]], whom they easily defeated.''

[[Image:Jetfirewilldestroyusall.jpg|right|200px|thumb|My goggles, they do nothing!]]

''To try their combat skills against a Decepticon, Starscream's programming was scanned into a combat simulator. However, Starscream's programming overpowered the training system, and the battle became real. Starscream's strength and cunning were more than they expected; Jetfire briefly lost control of his flame throwers and began to burn up, only to be saved when Jetstorm's wind turbines put out the flames. With newfound determination, the two combined into Safeguard for the first time and destroyed the virtual Decepticon. After this performance, Jetfire and his brother were inducted into the Elite Guard. {{storylink|First (and Second) in Flight}}''

Later, Jetfire, along with his brother, Jazz, and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], were sent by [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] to chase after the supposed Decepticon spy [[Wasp]]. Pursuing their quarry to Earth, the twins soon found a Wasp-disguised [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], whom Wasp intended to frame by swapping paint jobs, helmets and voices, and Jetfire was able to make at least one fireball attack before Jetstorm accidentally (and literally) blew Bumblebee away. They then were confronted by [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who mistook them for Decepticons due to their ability to fly. After a set of one-on-one battles with Optimus & Ratchet (with Jetstorm facing Optimus and Jetfire facing Ratchet, respectively), the two combined into Safeguard to try and gain the upper hand, only to have the brawl end when Sentinel and Jazz arrived and cleared up the misunderstanding.

This would not happen, as Wasp revealed his true identity under the pressure. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

Later, Jetfire was asked by his brother to take a picture of him in front of the captured [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] for the "Femme-bots back home". Sentinel Prime then asked them to work on their ship's "sub-space guidance gyro-stabilizer", but they could not get it to work, and they discovered the replacement part was missing. They later witnessed Sentinel give Prowl a telling-off for accusing him of working with someone else to capture fugitive Decepticons, which Sentinel denied. That night, Prowl followed Sentinel to the Tigatron Stadium, and Jazz brought Jetfire, Jetstorm, and Optimus Prime as backup. When Sentinel was captured by [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]], Jetfire & Jetstorm combined into Safeguard in order to help get their commander back from Decepticon clutches. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

Shortly afterward, Wasp went on a psycho-rampage through the city, so Jetfire, along with Jetstorm, Sentinel, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee, went after him. During the pursuit, Jetfire and his brother tried unsuccessfully to prevent Wasp being abducted by [[Swoop (Animated) |Swoop]]. Sentinel then commanded them to launch an electromagnetic grapple, with which they hauled their commander all the way to Dinobot Island. Upon arriving (and dropping Sentinel head-first into the sand), Jetfire and Jetstorm were assigned to distract the Dinobots so Sentinel could gain entrance to [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s base. While Jetstorm dealt with [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]], Jetfire took on Swoop, engulfing the Dinobot in flames. When Waspinator was overloading with transwarp energy, Jetfire & Jetstorm helped get a weakened Sentinel Prime to safety. Later, Jetfire and his brother taunted Sentinel about his hatred of both Earth and organics, only to be ordered back aboard their ship. {{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

En route home, the Elite Guard flagship was about to head through a highly charged cloud of space debris, so Jetfire was commanded to watch the ship's energon readings to make sure the ship didn't run out of power. When the Decepticons managed to break into the bridge of the ship, [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]] easily managed to capture the twins in an energy bubble using a stasis-suspension ray. Thankfully, Optimus managed to transwarp onto the ship after getting an encrypted message from Sentinel, and he freed Jetfire and the rest of the Elite Guard from the stasis-cuffs the Decepticons had slapped on them. Later, after Lugnut managed to [[Punch of Kill Everything|P.O.K.E.]] a hole in the ship, Jetfire & Jetstorm combined into Safeguard's jet-mode in order to combat the Decepticons in space. Once Blitzwing had managed to capture Sentinel, Optimus convinced both Jetfire and Jetstorm to surrender, assuring them that things would be okay. The Decepticons placed Jetfire and the others into the ship's decontamination chamber to be frozen. It turned out that Optimus had secretly commanded Jazz to rewire the chamber so everyone OUTside it was frozen. Thus the Decepticons were re-captured and Jetfire was spared an icy incarceration. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

When Ratchet and Fanzone were transwarped to Cybertron, Jetfire and the rest of the Elite Guard found them outside of [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]]. Then a Decepticon-controlled [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] appeared over Cybertron, and Sentinel ordered that Ratchet and Fanzone be brought back to the [[Metroplex (Animated)|Metroplex]], so Jetfire and his brother proceeded to apprehend Ratchet. When Ratchet threatened Sentinel for suggesting firing on Omega Supreme, Jetfire and Jetstorm were ordered to arrest both Ratchet and Fanzone, but Fanzone's sneeze scared them so badly that Ratchet was able to knock them aside. Jetfire and Jetstorm were then ordered to divert all energon to [[Fortress Maximus (Animated)|Fortress Maximus]], in case Megatron attacked. When Shockwave got away with [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] and boarded Omega Supreme, Jetfire and his brother were ordered to fire on the giant Autobot, but Omega Supreme transwarped away. Jetfire and Jetstorm later witnessed Sentinel get a telling-off from [[Alpha Trion (Animated)|Alpha Trion]] and saw Ratchet and Fanzone commit "intergalactic grand theft" by taking the Magnus Hammer back to Earth with them. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

* [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] had no input over Jetfire's name, as the twins were largely the work of [[Eric Siebenaler]]; Wyatt only did a "once-over" of their aesthetics to match the rest of the series near the end of their development cycle. That's the reason why ''Animated'' Jetfire does not have a more "traditional" [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] design. As such, Wyatt says that if he ever does an homage to the original Jetfire's design, he would gladly call the character "[[Skyfire (disambiguation)|Skyfire]]". (Of course, that [[trademark]] isn't actually available to [[Hasbro]] for toys, but that doesn't matter for a TV show.)

* Perceptor's dialogue in the "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]" comic implies that Jetfire and Jetstorm were split from one protoform, possibly making Safeguard their true form. Such a theory is supported by Safeguard's being unnaturally intelligent for a combiner, and his possessing of his own alternate mode.

* In a conversation with one of his fan's on a pieve of fan art on his Deviantart page, The Boo, who worked on the first half of the "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]" comic, revealed that Jetfire and Jetstorm's original vehicle modes were similar to ATV's instead of cycles or other types of vehicles.

Later, Jetfire and his brother taunted Sentinel about his hatred of both Earth and organics, only to be ordered back aboard their ship. {{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

En route home, the Elite Guard flagship was about to head through a highly charged cloud of space debris, so Jetfire was commanded to watch the ship's energon readings to make sure the ship didn't run out of power. When the Decepticons managed to break into the bridge of the ship, [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]] easily managed to capture the twins in an energy bubble using a stasis-suspension ray. Thankfully, Optimus managed to transwarp onto the ship after getting an encrypted message from Sentinel, and he freed Jetfire and the rest of the Elite Guard from the stasis-cuffs the Decepticons had slapped on them. Later, after Lugnut managed to [[Punch of Kill Everything|P.O.K.E.]] a hole in the ship, Jetfire & Jetstorm combined into Safeguard's jet-mode in order to combat the Decepticons in space. Once Blitzwing had managed to capture Sentinel, Optimus convinced both Jetfire and Jetstorm to surrender, assuring them that things would be okay. The Decepticons placed Jetfire and the others into the ship's decontamination chamber to be frozen. It turned out that Optimus had secretly commanded Jazz to rewire the chamber so everyone OUTside it was frozen. Thus the Decepticons were re-captured and Jetfire was spared an icy incarceration. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

When Ratchet and Fanzone were transwarped to Cybertron, Jetfire and the rest of the Elite Guard found them outside of [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]]. Then a Decepticon-controlled [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] appeared over Cybertron, and Sentinel ordered that Ratchet and Fanzone be brought back to the [[Metroplex (Animated)|Metroplex]], so Jetfire and his brother proceeded to apprehend Ratchet. When Ratchet threatened Sentinel for suggesting firing on Omega Supreme, Jetfire and Jetstorm were ordered to arrest both Ratchet and Fanzone, but Fanzone's sneeze scared them so badly that Ratchet was able to knock them aside. Jetfire and Jetstorm were then ordered to divert all energon to [[Fortress Maximus (Animated)|Fortress Maximus]], in case Megatron attacked. When Shockwave got away with [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] and boarded Omega Supreme, Jetfire and his brother were ordered to fire on the giant Autobot, but Omega Supreme transwarped away. Jetfire and Jetstorm later witnessed Sentinel get a telling-off from [[Alpha Trion (Animated)|Alpha Trion]] and saw Ratchet and Fanzone commit "intergalactic grand theft" by taking the Magnus Hammer back to Earth with them. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

Together with Jetstorm, Jetfire pursued the Decepticon [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] all the way to the [[Earth]] city of [[Detroit]]. Enthusiastic (and posing like he was in a rap video), Jetfire proceeded to attack Blackout in robot-mode, amused that the hulking brute was too big to fight back against such small, quick opponents. Jetfire then combined with Jetstorm into [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]] and proceeded to fight Blackout bruiser-to-bruiser. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 4}}

Jetfire then hooked back up with the rest of the Elite Guard and joined in their inquiry of Optimus Prime as to why he and his crew were still on Earth. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 5}}

Back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Jetfire and his brother joined Sentinel and a throng of Autobots in welcoming the victorious Optimus Prime and his crew home. {{storylink|The Cool Episode Final}}

*'''Jetfire and Jetstorm''' (Entertainment Pack, 2008)

: Available only in a twin-pack with his brother Jetstorm, Jetfire transforms into a white and orange Cybertronic wedge-shaped jet. He features pop-up "fire blades" in his robot mode armor. He can combine with his brother in both modes; in vehicle mode, they form an odd super-jet simply by docking together along their undercarriages (Yes, yes, har har, very droll), while Jetfire's robot mode forms the right half of the super robot Safeguard.

:In a clever touch, both feet are sculpted on the back to look like fists (to make the toy more symmetrical), but only one of them actually can become an arm.

:Both Jetfire and Jetstorm can flip open their cockpits. Nice. Pointless, but nice.

: The set comes with a bonus comic book, "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]", which details the creation of the twins. For some reason, the comic included ''in'' the box contradicts their [[bio]] printed ''on'' the box.

==Notes==
* Both twins speak with a thick Russian [[Accents|accent]].<ref>[http://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/statuses/2212733768 Twitter post by Derrick Wyatt]</ref>

[[Image:TFA Jetfire Jetstorm concept.jpg|right|200px|thumb|CHEEKS!]]
* Jetfire and Jetstorm's fire/wind theme has its roots in some of the earliest concepts of ''Animated''. [[Sean Galloway]], who had been commissioned to do early concept work for the series, revealed several pieces of this concept art long before the "final" [[Derrick J. Wyatt|Derrick Wyatt]]-designed characters were shown. Among these images were a pair of "fire and wind" robots who have a few features that made it into the jet-twins' final designs.

* The twins' method of combination is seemingly an homage to Hyōryū and Enryū/Chōryūjin from the final installment of Takara's [[Brave]] Series, ''King of Braves GaoGaiGar''.

* In the early stages of the toy's development, the end of the twins' combined vehicle mode is supposed to split apart and wings are supposed to slide out of the shins, so that the combined mode resembles an [[Luke Skywalker|X-wing fighter]].<ref>[http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2008/09/hey-everybody-its-prowl.html Derrick Wyatt blog post (read comments below)]</ref>

* [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] had no input over Jetfire's name, as the twins were largely the work of [[Eric Siebenaler]]; Wyatt only did a "once-over" of their aesthetics to match the rest of the series near the end of their development cycle. That's the reason why ''Animated'' Jetfire does not have a more "traditional" [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] design. As such, Wyatt says that if he ever does an homage to the original Jetfire's design, he would gladly call the character "[[Skyfire (disambiguation)|Skyfire]]". (Of course, that [[trademark]] isn't actually available to [[Hasbro]] for toys, but that doesn't matter for a TV show.)

* Perceptor's dialogue in the "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]" comic implies that Jetfire and Jetstorm were split from one protoform, possibly making Safeguard their true form. Such a theory is supported by Safeguard's being unnaturally intelligent for a combiner, and his possessing of his own alternate mode.

* In a conversation with one of his fan's on a pieve of fan art on his Deviantart page, The Boo, who worked on the first half of the "[[First (and Second) in Flight|Rise of Safeguard]]" comic, revealed that Jetfire and Jetstorm's original vehicle modes were similar to ATV's instead of cycles or other types of vehicles. He also said this was due to their working in the industrial sector.

:''Jetstorm is a [[Autobot|comrade]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Jetstormanimatedboxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Still got the air superiority complex?]]

'''Jetstorm''' and his [[twin]] [[brother]] [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] are part of a risky Autobot [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] experiment in duplicating the flight and combat abilities of the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. While the experiment gave them incredible new powers, it did absolutely nothing to blunt their hyperactive, act-without-thinking natures. Jetstorm is capable of attacking with incredible bursts of wind in both robot and jet modes, creating focused cyclones with devastating force (if somewhat questionable accuracy). Luckily, he's one of the few bots who actually listens to [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], and stops his attack once his commander barks out his order to do so... though usually by that time, the damage has already been done.

The twins also have the ability to combine into a superjet ''and'' the powerful robot [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]]. Both modes greatly enhance their combat effectiveness... but not their wits, unfortunately.

''Jetstorm was a simple repair bot who, along with his brother Jetfire, nearly died in an on-site accident. Viewed by the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] as completely expendable, Jetstorm and his brother were chosen to have [[Decepticon]] coding (acquired from [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] during his time in custody) grafted onto their Autobot shells in hopes that the pair would gain the Decepticons' flight abilities. [[Wheeljack (Animated)|Wheeljack]], [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] and [[Red Alert (Animated)|Red Alert]] did the necessary calculations and programming needed. After this, the pair's combat abilities were tested against [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]], whom they easily defeated.''

[[Image:Jetstormdoesnotswing.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Boot" is a sound effect?]]

''To try their combat skills against a Decepticon, Starscream's programming was scanned into a combat simulator. However, Starscream's programming overpowered the training system, and the battle became real. Starscream's strength and cunning were more than they expected; Jetfire briefly lost control of his flame throwers and began to burn up, only to be saved when Jetstorm's wind turbines put out the flames. With newfound determination, the two combined into Safeguard for the first time and destroyed the virtual Decepticon. After this performance, Jetstorm and his brother were inducted into the Elite Guard. {{storylink|First (and Second) in Flight}}''

Later, Jetstorm, along with his brother, Jazz, and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], were sent by [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] to chase after the supposed Decepticon spy [[Wasp]]. The twins soon found a Wasp-disguised [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], whom Wasp intended to frame by swapping paint jobs, helmets and voices, but Jetstorm accidentally (and literally) blew Bumblebee away. They then were confronted by [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who mistook them for Decepticons due to their ability to fly. After a one-on-one battle with Optimus & Ratchet (with Jetstorm facing Optimus and Jetfire facing Ratchet, respectively), the two combined into Safeguard to try and gain the upper hand, only to have the brawl end when Sentinel and Jazz arrived and cleared up the misunderstanding. Then, under Sentinel's orders, the twins set out to find Wasp once more.

They later found him with [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]], who tried to convince them that Wasp had swapped places with Bumblebee, but to no avail. The twins assumed all three to be traitors and attacked them. The long battle was once again broken up by the others, who had become at least partly convinced of Bumblebee's true identity. The group quickly headed back to the Autobots' base to try and sort out the matter. During the fighting, however, Wasp had hacked into the Autobots' files on Bumblebee, allowing Wasp to know everything about him. Bulkhead decided to settle it with a game of ''Ninja Gladiator'' to determine the real Bumblebee. Jetfire and Jetstorm were so delighted by the concept of video games that they both shouted that they would play the winner. This would not happen, as Wasp revealed his true identity under the pressure. He swapped the paint jobs back and was able to escape. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

[[Image:Jetstormpose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Say cheeeeeese!]]
Later on, they were just as out of the loop as Jazz and Optimus when Sentinel was tracking down Decepticons, although they were considerably less cynical about the captures than the others. They did however combine to fight [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]] when Sentinel's stupid ego-trip backfired on him.{{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

Jetstorm, along with Jetfire, later proceeded to assist Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee in capturing Wasp, and when Wasp escaped, and was captured, Jetstorm, along with Jetfire, was tasked with carrying Sentinel all the way to [[Dinobot Island (Animated) |Dinobot Island]]. Once on Dinobot Island, Jetstorm and Jetfire were assigned with the task of diverting the Dinobots away from the entrance to [[Blackarachnia (Animated) |Blackarachnia]]'s lab. Jetstorm proceeded to distract [[Grimlock (Animated) |Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (Animated) |Snarl]], while Jetfire handled [[Swoop (Animated) |Swoop]]. Just after they had defeated the Dinobots, [[Wasp|Waspinator]] and Blackarachnia suddenly emerged from the lab, and they (Jetfire & Jetstorm) helped Sentinel get to a safe distance, before Waspinator blew up.
{{Storylink|Predacons Rising}}

While on the return trip to Cybertron, Sentinel decided to take the ship through a storm cloud, with Jetstorm ordered to "Maintain this heading". Unfortunately though, the electricity from the storm awakened [[Swindle (Animated) |Swindle]], who, in turn, freed the rest of the captive Decepticons. Jetstorm and Jetfire eventually ended up contained in a bubble from Swindle's "Stasis-Suspension Ray", and left in a prison-cell on the ''[[Steelhaven (Animated)|Steelhaven]]'' to rot. However, Sentinel sent out a message to Optimus Prime for back-up, who managed to transwarp to the ship, and free all of the Autobots. Just then [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] managed to [[Punch of Kill Everything|P.O.K.E]] a hole in the ship, causing everyone (except Jazz) to be sucked into space. Jetstorm and Jetfire then proceeded to combine into Safeguard's jet mode, and take on Lugnut. After Sentinel was captured by [[Blitzwing (Animated) |Blitzwing]], they, along with Optimus Prime, surrendered. They were put into the decontamination chamber (which Optimus ordered Jazz to turn into a freezing unit), and as the Decepticons were about to freeze them, it was revealed that Jazz had set it so that anything outside the chamber would be frozen, and in this case, that was the Decepticons. The Elite Guard then proceeded to drop Optimus off on Earth, and Jetstorm and Jetfire witnessed Sentinel's Magnus inauguration parade.{{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

Jetstorm was later present when Sentinel Prime attempted to scold Ratchet and [[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]] for seemingly breaking Cybertronian curfew (Man, Sentinel's strict) and using a Space Bridge. He then, along with Jetfire, assisted in bringing Ratchet back to the [[Metroplex (Animated) |Metroplex]]. Jetstorm was later ordered to divert all energon to [[Fortress Maximus (Animated) |Fortress Maximus]], to be used as a weapon against the Decepticon-controlled [[Omega Supreme (Animated) |Omega Supreme]]. They did actually fire the weapon after [[Shockwave (Animated) |Shockwave]] boarded the vessel with his hostage, [[Arcee (Animated) |Arcee]], but the giant Autobot transwarped away.{{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}
