fifbeat Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) You know, the problem with you MacrossWorld custom show-offs is that you do the same crap over and over again. Your customs are fantastic, but lack a certain "nostalgic" something I'm sure EVERYONE in this forum has been wanting to see -- JET FIRE! Afterall, most of us had Jet Fire as our first valk. Time to give it some props. (this post is all-in-fun; but hell, you gotta admit, it would be cool if someone did one). Maybe valkyrie-exchange.com can donate a 1/48 valk (hehe)...

zeo-mare Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 hi i asked for this a while back no one has done one yet, I was planning on doing one for myself and posting the pics. but I have been somewhat short on funds so i can not save up and get the 1/48 i need for it. hopefully we will see one soon, I always thought that this one would make a real nice custom Chris Quote
fansubs2000 Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I went to Bot-Con this past weekend in Pasadena. I saw this custom Jetfire, is it a 1/48? Quote
wolfx Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Someone customed a 1/60 into a Jetfire a long time ago here. It looks very nice and some parts were changed to make it look better. I'm too lazy to dig it up though. Quote
Cyclone Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 WOW! Autobot Spike custom! Kewwwwwt! I mean... nice Jetfire there... yeah... Cyc Quote
VF-0S FAN Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Someone customed a 1/60 into a Jetfire a long time ago here. It looks very nice and some parts were changed to make it look better. I'm too lazy to dig it up though. I remember of this super 1/60 Jetfire custom and now I join you and look forward to see an awesome 1/48 one Quote
Hikuro Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 You know, I always wondered WHY just WHY they called Sky Fire, Jet Fire, and WHY he just looked like a VF-1 rip off? Than I read one of the new comics and walah! 0_o it's armor, thank god it's just armor! Quote
Jawjaw Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Because it would be stupid to take a $200 valkyrie w/ armor and turn it into a cheesy looking knock-off. I know the Jetfire is legit but it's basically a bootleg. I like Jetfire's with the nostalgia and all, but I much rather have the real thing or the type of custom's the pro's are making here. Quote

EXO Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I'm surprised there was none at Botcon. I was almost sure there would be. The 1/60 was by RTH. It's bootleg! Even though it was licensed. Quote

Blaine23 Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I'm sure somebody archived the 1/60 Jetfire by RTH, which was really awesome. Basically we haven't seen any custom 1/48 because there has to be certain filling of requirements in that equation. Someone who digs Jetfire + And is also willing to sacrifice a $200 valk + And who has either the skills or money to make it = 1/48 Jetfire. Until you get those three requirements, it ain't gonna happen. We saw alot more "out there" customs with the 1/55 and 1/60's because they were pretty available and relatively cheap. It seems most of the custom 1/48's have been pretty reserved by comparison. And basically, that's a money issue. The 1/48 is an expensive toy to mess with. Quote

I am already running into issues with my customization of the TV max 1/48. Chest plate is all cracked to hell and the canopy piece crumbled thanks to the ELO I was using to remove the paint. I am ordering parts from Fulcy as I type. Quote

Limbo Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 EXO, did you made this? Sorry, but I want one now... It does look awesome Quote
EXO Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 EXO, did you made this? Sorry, but I want one now... It does look awesome No, Rick the Hunter from the old boards made it. He did a great job. I think many people wanted it when he posted it the first time. It'd be interesting what kind of hysteria a 1/48 would make at the TF2005 boards. Quote

It looks so stock. I remember the first time I saw it my mind had to figure out why Jetfire had gotten so dern poseable. Took my brain a few seconds to realize it was a 1/60... Quote
fifbeat Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 LOL! Exo, thanks for posting. That thing looks cool. Quote
EXO Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Someone else posted it on another thread. I just used the handy dandy Search function. Quote

zeo-mare Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 that 1/60 looks friggan awesome, I would kill for a 1/48 Quote
jasonkimberson Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 now when is someone going to make a 1/48 jetfire? Quote
buddhafabio Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 you can always commission someone to mod one for you Quote
scand Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Does anybody know what episodes of the transformers jetfire appeared in? I'd like to see them just to compare animation styles. If anybody has screen caps please post em up. Quote

Many TFer fans I have met have no idea of the 1/48's existence, so they would probably be convinced they were looking at the proto for a MP Jetfire, which you could argue the 1/48 sorta is Edited June 25, 2004 by GobotFool Quote
promethuem5 Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 well, I dont have any 1/48s, but I did custom up a 1/200 Super VF-1S to be Jetfire.

Opus Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Does anybody know what episodes of the transformers jetfire appeared in? I'd like to see them just to compare animation styles. If anybody has screen caps please post em up. Jetfire never appeared it the show. They used a similar character called Skyfire to get around copyrights, I guess. Quote
Synch Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Are you sure? I thought jetfire was in the first episode where he apeared Quote
