The name or term "Jetfire" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Jetfire (disambiguation).

Jetfire is an Autobot from the Cyberverse continuity family.

Jetfire is an Autobot with flight capabilities who everyone thought had exploded in a plume of jet smoke while battling his nemesis, Sky-Byte. Luckily for the Autobots he lived to fight (and fight, and fight) another day. He never gives up, and he never gives in. Just don't get in his way when he's in the middle of combat. He has a habit of destroying everything in his path to clinch a win.

Battle Class Jetfire is a brand new mold transforming into a red and white jet fighter while being roughly the size of previous Scout/Legends/Basic class figures. (But larger than contemporary Cyberverse Scout Class figures. Confused yet?). He comes with the "Tank Cannon" Spark Armor, a tank that splits into his battle armor and attaches via multiple 5 mm connections.

• Jetfire (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2019)
  • Series: 1
  • Bag code: E

Part of the first Series of Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers, Jetfire is a soft-plastic robot who transforms into a tiny Cybertronian superjet.

This mold was used to make Silverbolt.

• Jetfire (Warrior Class, 2019)
  • Action Attack: "Sky Surge"

Part of the fifth wave of Cyberverse Warrior Class toys, Jetfire transforms from Cybertronian superjet and back. His "Sky Surge" action attack has his rocket pack flip over his shoulders to form cannons and popping out blue effect parts. It can also be activated in vehicle mode by pressing the switches on the bottom of the boosters, though the ends of the blaster barrels may be blocked by the swing arm hinge; lifting the boosters up slightly allows them to flip all the way out.

Like many later Jetfire toys, it combines elements of both the original Jetfire toy and the Skyfire design used in the G1 cartoon, namely the two separate boosters of the former and the more angular design and simpler head of the latter. It's Sky Surge attack gimmick is somewhat reminiscent of the Classics Jetfire's spring-loaded flip out blasters.

Due to the toy's conversion scheme, it can be transformed halfway into a Gerwalk configuration, though with forward swept wings. There are molded-in thruster ports on his heels, exposed in vehicle mode. Despite initial appearances, they are slightly too large to hold 5mm accessories or C.O.M.B.A.T. System fire effects.

Notes

• As with the rest of the Cyberverse cast, Jetfire uses an evergreen design inspired by his Generation 1 counterpart.
• His bio noting that he's willing to destroy anything in his path to clinch a win along with his own admission in "Infinite Vendetta" that his battles with Sky-Byte left "numerous star systems devoid of life" does make one wonder about just what went on in those battles...
