The uniqueness of American [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] Transformers commercials helped the line become a cultural phenomenon in the U.S. By contrast, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s G1 commercials, or "'''CM'''"s, were considerably more generic. Commercials for ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' and ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010]]'' have a distinctive Gregorian style "Trans-for-mer" chant at the end of them, but there was not much else to set them apart from other mecha toy commercials. They made use of the same type of stop motion animation that was used not only in commercials for Takara's Transformers predecessors ''[[Micro Change]]'' and ''[[Diaclone]]'' but for various other mecha toys including [[wikipedia:Gundam|''Gundam'']], [[wikipedia:Voltron|''GoLion'']], and even as far back as 1975 for [[wikipedia:Himitsu Sentai Goranger|''Himitsu Sentai Goranger'']]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toyline. The stop motion style of commercial is still used by TakaraTomy as evidenced by the advertising for [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Transformers Animated'']].

Curiously, Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers and Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 commercials (even some of those not re-using US commercial footage) made use of several variations of the US [[theme song]]s, despite the fact that said theme songs were not used for the Japanese dubs of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]]. A few variants were even recorded specifically for the Japanese commercials, such as the one used in the first Airbots and Stuntrons ad. Later on, ''[[Beast Wars (Japanese franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Beast Wars Metals (franchise)|Beast Wars Metals]]'' ads would also make use of the theme song from their American counterpart.

Historically, Takara's advertising strategy has been to cover the entire toyline in some way, shape or form. This has resulted in some commercials where the toys get the bum's rush, staying on screen just long enough to show off both modes. The Beast Era has several egregious examples, in particular one ad that covers Scuba, Tasmania Kid, Big Horn, Apache, Dirge, Thrust, Starscream, BB, Megastorm and all four Autorollers for a grand total of thirteen toys! The whole line philosophy has been maintained as recently as the [[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|''Car Robots'']] line.

In addition to toy commercials, Takara has also advertised via promotional videos, which occasionally offered as magazine or DVD extras, that tease an upcoming series or give supplemental information. Commercials for [[Japanese themes|music singles and soundtracks]] for the various series have also aired on TV, possibly as early as [[Beast Wars (Japanese franchise)|''Beast Wars'']]. And of course there's the commercials for ''Beast Wars'' [[Beast Wars II Sausage|sausages]]. [[Beast Wars Neo Sausage|Really]]. We wouldn't lie to you.

* '''Toyline''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI8ef1qDdWA]
: ''Toy segment:'' A presumably crystal castle of unknown location and origin, holding [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Convoy]] trapped within, dissolves into thin air. Somewhere else, the [[Autobot|Cybertron]] forces spread apart to reveal a rising and not-dissolved Convoy. The [[Decepticon|Destron]] forces do the same for [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. [[Skywarp (G1)|Warp]] and [[Jazz (G1)|Meister]] fire shots which collide in a midair explosion.

: ''Notes:'' This commercial is the [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave/Laserwave]] segments of the U.S. "Jetfire & Shockwave" ad dubbed over. Naturally, the [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] segments were dropped due to Takara's legal inability to sell the [[Bandai]]-owned Jetfire mold in the Japanese market. Includes an end tag for the [[Devastator (G1)|Devastor giftset]].

* '''Soundwave''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUkh79OA78k]

[[Fireflight (G1)|Firebolt]] and [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Rider]] disconnect, rotate diagonally around [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]'s torso, and then reconnect as his right arm and left leg, respectively. Meanwhile, the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stuntrons]] have been driving in the desert below. They too transform to robot mode before combining into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Stripe]] disconnect and rotate around Menasor's torso to become his left and right arm, respectively.

Silverbolt takes off from Magnus's trailer, prompting Galvatron to transform to robot mode. Ultra Magnus transforms just in time to receive a REALLY ineffective flying clothesline from Galvatron.
: ''Notes:'' This is the same desert in which the previous commercial took place. Whatever celestial body this desert is on, it's in very close proximity to a ringed planet. Galvatron's cannon blasts are marked by explosions occurring near Magnus, accompanied by laser blast sounds from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]]. There's also a lighting effect that seems to have an external source, rather than Galvatron's own light-up gimmick. Ultra Magnus's eyes light up red despite the toy not having that ability.

* '''Scramble City line''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiSmm2gENOM]
: ''Toy segment:'' Metroflex rises up from somewhere to join Slammer, Scamper and Six-Gun. Cut to a shot where we pan up to see [[Trypticon (G1)|Dinosaurer]] sitting in city mode on a plateau. After cuts to shots of Dinosaurer's dinosaur and mobile battle station modes, we see Ultra Magnus's eyes glowing red. Galvatron transforms and performs a weak flying clothesline. Superion and Menasor face off, then Bruticus and [[Defensor (G1)|Guardian]] demonstrate their Scramble Power. Menasor and Bruticus go to meet up somewhere before returning to take on Superion and Guardian. The Cybertron forces stand in a row to face off against the Destrons, who are also standing in a line, as [[Laserbeak (G1)|Condor]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] swoop overhead. The whole scene is rather surreal, as the toys stand there statically while explosions go off all around them.

Jetfire (WFC)

2011-09-30T08:15:18Z

Ultla-bot:

{{faction|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Jetfire}}
:''Jetfire is an Autobot from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:WFCJetfire.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
'''Jetfire''' is a dedicated scientist whose personal upgrades to his chassis have made him the fastest Autobot on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He has a strong moral compass, which led to his falling-out with his friend [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and does not believe in gray areas when making major decisions.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus''===
Jetfire wasn't the first [[Autobot]] [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]], but he was the first to defect from the [[Decepticon]]s. He spent most of his time in a laboratory trying to further exploit the Autobots' flight capabilities – a scientific dead end, but one [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] placed great hope in. He was absent when [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] entered [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and stole the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], but accompanied Optimus with [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] as back-up during the rescue of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]]. They then moved to rid the [[Dark Energon]] from the [[core]] of Cybertron. While descending, Jetfire was tempted to try some Dark Energon, but Optimus told him if he did, Prime would have to kill him.

Once at the core, Optimus removed the Chamber and was given the [[Matrix of Leadership]], as well as orders to evacuate the planet as it began repairing itself. Optimus launched Project Generation One, which [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] dubbed the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Jetfire found the notion suicidal, but agreed to help and gave the Autobots time to complete the ''Ark'' by creating a diversion. [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]]s under his guidance gathered every space-worthy ship in the ruins of [[Six Lasers Over Cybertron]], while Jetfire picked the ''[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]'' for himself to captain.

After drawing out [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], Jetfire evaded the Station's detection system by flying in and out of the Asteroid Belt. He slowly but surely bolted the ''Eight Track'' with an ingress tube on to an unguarded part of the Station, allowing the Autobots to enter and blow up the Dark Energon Facility. Jetfire managed to detach the ship in time before Trypticon crashed in the [[Mithril Sea|Mithric Sea]]. However, Trypticon survived and transformed, and Jetfire refused a place on the ''Ark'' to distract the monster with the flight-capable [[Wrecker]] [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]]. Megatron's elite entered Trypticon, who transformed into the ''Nemesis'' and flew after the ''Ark'', leaving Jetfire on Cybertron with the Wreckers, [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] and [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] to deal with [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]'s forces. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus}}

==Games==
===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (360/PS3/PC)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Troy Baker]] (English), [[Gabriele Calindri]] (Italian)
When Megatron attacked Starscream's station, Jetfire confronted him during a lull in the fighting, noting he did not want to fight and that Dark Energon was too dangerous to use, Jetfire himself having seen what it can do. When Megatron declared his intent to take it anyway, Jetfire proclaimed that the Decepticon would destroy them all. Megatron mused, as Jetfire flew away, "You say that as if it were a bad thing."

Later, when Megatron had attained Dark Energon and demonstrated his control over it, Starscream offered to serve him and make more. Jetfire was aghast, and quickly escaped the station. Megatron decided to let him go, as he wanted the Autobots to feel dread at his approach.

During Megatron's siege of Iacon, Jetfire and the other Aerialbots were outnumbered and lacked surface-to-air support, causing significant losses. When Optimus took command, Jetfire specifically requested that the planetary guns be reactivated, which Optimus and his team promptly achieved. With that taken care of, he proceeded to feed tactical data and warnings whenever the still-overmatched Aerialbots could not stop all the incoming Decepticon Seekers, as well as recommendations on key targets of opportunity, including at least one Decepticon warship.

After Optimus assumed the mantle of Prime and kickstarted the Core of Cybertron's self-purging, he declared that the Autobots would have to leave their homeworld, as it would be rendered uninhabitable. However, as the transports began to leave, a powerful orbital weapon, part of Trypticon station, blasted apart every ship it could target. Prime sent Silverbolt, Air Raid, and Jetfire to take it out. Jetfire provided key knowledge during the assault, including weak points of machinery and barriers, as well as their main target of the plasma cooling system that prevented the orbital weapon from overloading. He made sure the Aerialbots stayed until the mechanism was destroyed (when the system reached 110% capacity and Air Raid was surprised it "went that high", Jetfire pointed out it didn't, and that was the point).

Megatron noted with some amusement that the Aerialbots apparently hadn't considered the possibility of backup systems, and ordered "Trypticon" to resume firing. He also entered Optimus Prime's coordinates and told it to bear on him. When Trypticon responded, Jetfire realized that the station, or at least the primary weapon, was a Cybertronian...shortly after which the team realized that they should be able to destroy its transformation systems and force it back into its normal form, which, whatever it was, had to be better than a killsat.

They found to their shock that this placed them inside Trypticon's mouth, and just barely managed to escape through the gaps between its teeth before it closed its jaws on them; it then headed for the surface, a massive jet pack controlling its descent. The Aerialbots managed to blast the pack apart, causing it to fall to Cybertron's surface like a meteor.

As Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ironhide battled the brute, which had survived the assault, the Aerialbots managed to find them and set about providing air support. However, Trypticon was much faster than they expected, taking out all three—not quite killing them, but putting them out of the fight.

Some time after Trypticon's defeat, they were at least back on their feet, and appeared with Optimus Prime as he surveyed the Ark. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===
:''Voice actor:'' Troy Baker (English), Gabriele Calindri (Italian)
[[Image:WFCDS Jetfire.jpg|thumb|right|121px]]
With an attack to obtain the Omega Key from Megatron imminent, Zeta Prime ordered Jetfire and Optimus to take the majority of their forces to protect a library while Zeta hid the Omega Key. However, the Decepticons only attacked faster and harder, and it was in this battle Zeta Prime eventually fell.

Jetfire was among the few Autobots who stood to assist Omega Supreme in the total annihilation of the Decepticons in Iacon. However, Megatron arrived with his strike team, and after defeating Cliffjumper, chased Jetfire through the ravaged city. Jetfire finally decided enough was enough, and faced the Decepticons down. However, the former scientist failed, and could only watch as Megatron advanced and defeated Omega Supreme.

Jetfire recovered and rejoined the Autobots. He was often their intel agent, and helped take back Iacon, and locate Zeta Prime. However, their leader died shortly after his rescue. Optimus was declared Optimus Prime, the new leader of the Autobots by the Autobot High Council. Jetfire helped his new leader reach Cybertron's core to save it from the Dark Energon. It was made clear that the recovering Core couldn't sustain the Autobot population, so a mass evacuation was ordered by Optimus. However, Trypticon Space Station began attacking the fleeing Autobot masses, and Jetfire followed Optimus to destroy it. On Cybertron's surface, the crashed station transformed into a monstrous city-sized Decepticon, Trypticon. Upon Trypticon's defeat, Jetfire stayed with Optimus on Cybertron to further battle Megatron.

==Notes==
*Unlike his [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire counterpart]], Jetfire always sided with the Autobots and [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was his friend until he betrayed Jetfire. In G1, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] was always a Decepticon and Skyfire betrayed him.
*In an interesting (and confusing) decision, Optimus decided that ''Silverbolt'' should lead the attack on Trypticon Station, despite the fact that Jetfire had worked there for some amount of time and would have known exactly how to take out the station. It's possible that Optimus ''didn't know'' about Jetfire's past, but this is unlikely seeing as how he had always been allied to the Autobots. It is more likely that Jetfire was the planetary Air Commander (as seen in Defend Iacon), and that Silverbolt was already orbital Air Commander.
