Jetwash is an Autobot from the brick-built world of Kre-O.
Somewhere, Harmony Gold is getting a greed-chubby.

Jetwash looks a little strange.

Fiction

Kre-O online comic

After being asked to by Megatron, the Autobots attacked the Decepticon Base and chased away the overzealous guard Vortex. In thanks, Megatron hosted a gathering in the base, which Jetwash attended. A Reliable Warrior!? Vortex the Lookout from Hell

Toys

Kre-O

Add jetwax for $3.00.
  • Jetwash (Micro-Changer, 2014)
    • Bag number: 40551 53
    • Accessories: 2 buildable rifles
Jetwash can be rebuilt from robot mode into a jet. He sports Prowl's helmet and the Starscream wing-backpack.
Several samples of Jetwash had balance problems with the legs's ball-joint holes, causing the figure to fall over if not placed on a display brick.
He was available in the fifth assortment of blind-bagged Kreon Micro-Changers, available only at ToysЯUs stores in the US and Canada.


Notes

  • Jetwash is a character based on Generation 1 Jetfire, given a new name for whatever reason. His appearance in the Kre-O comic predates the reveal of the new name and the toy.
  • Toy-Jetwash uses a chest tampograph based on the original Jetfire toy, but the leg deco is based on the "Skyfire" cartoon model.
  • In a decidedly unusual move, Jetwash in the Japanese Kre-O comic is not based on the actually-in-the-cartoon-that-aired-in-Japan "Skyfire" cartoon model. No, he's based on the didn't-appear-in-the-cartoon-and-never-sold-in-Japan-as-Jetfire-because-it's-from-major-competitor-Bandai original Jetfire toy. His parts in the comic are mostly concealed by his placement in the panel. However, he seems to use the ubiquitous Hound helmet and a similar wing construction to Thrust.
