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.

	* 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.		* Jetfire and Jetstorm's fire/wind theme has its roots in some of the earliest concepts of ''Animated''.

As such, Wyatt said that if he ever did an homage to the original Jetfire's design, he would gladly call the character "[[Skyfire (disambiguation)\|Skyfire]]".		* [[Derrick J.
