:''Safeguard is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

When flight schematics stolen from [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] were infused into [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]], '''Safeguard''', their "[[combiner|gestalt]] [[powerlinx|powerlink]]" form, was an unexpected result!

Though Safeguard combines the twins' bodies to further enhance their already-impressive combat capabilities, it does not appear to be a melding of their minds. Instead, both twins work in complete synchronization in this form. Unfortunately, both twins are cocky, brash showoffs who are only sort of in control over their own powers... which makes Safeguard a potentially very dangerous robot to everyone around him.

''While fighting Starscream during a simulated mission, an angered Jetstorm and Jetfire suddenly combined into the mighty Safeguard!  After dodging a blast from Starscream by dividing in two, he (they?) joined into a combined jet mode and melted the simulated Starscream into nothing. {{storylink|Rise of Safeguard}}''

In order to follow [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]] and [[Waspinator (Animated)|Wasp]] to [[Dinobot Island]], the twins combined into Safeguard's jet form and lowered a magnetic grappler with which to carry Sentinel Prime. Unfortunately for Sentinel, they kind of forgot he was there when they reached the island, and ended up dragging him through the water for a few yards.{{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

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

:Safeguard is a symmetrical-style [[combiner]], one of the first instances of such in the ''Transformers'' toy line (though [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] had already used the concept extensively in ''King of [[Brave]]s GaoGaiGar''). Jetfire forms his right half, while Jetstorm forms his left half.

:He has a rather frustrating problem that his crotch won't stay assembled in gestalt form.

==Notes==
[[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.

* In addition to the fire/wind theme, the twins' method of combination is seemingly an intentional 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 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]]. However, this did not appear in the released instructions.
