Fiction
Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron
Jetfire was a Seeker who defected from the Decepticons to the Autobots. He spent most of his time in a laboratory trying to further exploit the Autobots' flight capabilities – a scientific dead end, but one Optimus Prime placed great hope in. He was absent when Megatron entered Iacon and stole the Plasma Energy Chamber, but accompanied Optimus with Bumblebee as back-up during the rescue of Sentinel Prime from Kaon. They then moved to rid the Dark Energon from the core of Cybertron. While descending, Jetfire was tempted to try some Dark Energon, but Optimus told him if he did, Prime would have to kill him.
Once at the core, Optimus removed the Chamber and was given the Matrix of Leadership, as well as orders to evacuate the planet as it began repairing itself. Optimus launched Project Generation One, which Jazz dubbed the Ark. Jetfire found the notion suicidal, but agreed to help and gave the Autobots time to complete the Ark by creating a diversion. Aerialbots and Seekers under his guidance gathered every space-worthy ship in the ruins of Six Lasers Over Cybertron, while Jetfire picked the Eight Track for himself to captain.
After drawing out Trypticon, Jetfire evaded the Station's detection system by flying in and out of the Asteroid Belt. He slowly but surely bolted the Eight Track with an ingress tube on to an unguarded part of the Station, allowing the Autobots to enter and blow up the Dark Energon Facility. Jetfire managed to detach the ship in time before Trypticon crashed in the Mithric Sea. However, Trypticon survived and transformed, and Jetfire refused a place on the Ark to distract the monster with the flight-capable Wrecker Springer. Megatron's elite entered Trypticon, who transformed into the Nemesis and flew after the Ark, leaving Jetfire on Cybertron with the Wreckers, Omega Supreme and Alpha Trion to deal with Shockwave's forces.
