Toys

First Transformers

• Airplane (First Transformers, 1986/1987/1993)

• Takara name: Jet-kun
• Takara ID number: C-001

One of three Playskool First Transformers toys released in 1986, the "Airplane" transforms from an adorable round jet into an adorable stumpy robot in just a few short steps. When rolled along in jet mode, the "pilot" in the cockpit bobs up and down.

Takara released all three in Japan without changes the following year, giving the Airplane the moniker "Jet-kun".

Playskool re-released the three in new packaging (a generic box for all three types) in 1993, each with some very minor differences. In the Airplane's case, these were all sticker changes: the pilot's visor was now yellow instead of red (probably to look friendlier), the robot-mode visor-sticker lost all the tech detailing and went with a more plain bordered yellow visor, and the arrow stickers on the shoulders were simplified into a single shape rather than the original's short-tailed arrow with a small bar at the back end.

Notes

• Like most other cameo Kreons, Kre-O Jet-kun utilizes existing Kreon parts. Specifically, he reuses Air Raid's helmet/nosecone piece.
