Jet

This article is about the Generation 1 Autobot. For the First Transformers Cybertron Jr, see Jet-kun.

Jet is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

From his first cigarette to his last dying day.

Jet (ジェット Jetto) flies! He forms the torso of Gaiacross, so he might be the team's leader. Then again, he might not.

Toys

Gaiacross

• Jet (Candy toy, 2011)
  • ID number: 1

Jet is a snap-together candy toy model kit produced by Kabaya, coming in an individual box packed with a stick of (nasty) gum. He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter via quite a fair amount of "partforming".

He can also combine with any of his teammates to form the upper or lower body of a two-robot combination. His instructions show his upper-half configuration as part of "Jetflame", while Launcher's instructions show how to put Jet into lower-half form as part of "Launcherjet". He can also form any part of the six-part super-robot Gaiacross, though his nominal placement is as the upper torso.

Due to the softer, waxier plastic used by candy-kit toys, all of the Gaiacross robots can be a bit on the floppy side, and can come apart pretty easily. You might consider (lightly) gluing together some of the non-moving parts, like his torso-halves.

Notes

• Jet looks to be the evolved form of the Multiforce commander Wing from Victory. The two have a similar alt-mode, and form the same part of their teams' super-robot modes.
