MJRusso45 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Hey folks, major newbie here. I did a lot of searching, but I couldn't quite find the asnwer to this question. I was wondering what scale the Transformers' Jetfire is? 1/48, 1/55, 1/60, other? The reason I am asking is because I am trying to determine what scale to start buying in. I would prefer to keep it all about the same as my hideously yellowed Jetfire. *sob* Quote
Jin_Kune_Do Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Hey MJRusso45 I belive its 1/55, the same scale as the original Takatoku´s Valks released back in the 80s. Bandai also re-released the same models in 1/55 in the 90s. Please correct me guys if i am off track on the information i posted. -Jin Quote
Mechamaniac Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Jetfire is a re-tool of the 1/55 Bandai Valkyrie toys from the 80's. So, he's 1/55, or at least the toy is. Quote
Jin_Kune_Do Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 (edited) Also FYI some members in MW have already done some customising on the Yamato 1/60 Valks in JetFire color. I think a few others are secretly planning in doing a custom work on the 1/48 scale Valks. Its just a matter of time when that will happen. If you ask me....the best line to collect Valkyries in, is the 1/48 line. Since its the most detailed and best transforming toy to date that can live up to the Macross VFs. -Jin Edited June 28, 2004 by Jin_Kune_Do Quote
Nightbat Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 If you ask me....the best line to collect Valkyries in, is the 1/48 line if you want most variants I suggest the 1/60 try getting a M&M/Elint/Ostrich/1D in 1/55 though the 1/48's have the Hikaru 1S they don't have the Elint/Ostrich/1D also the 1/60's have the Q-rau Quote

Kamui 777 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 In terms of Macross toys he's 1/55. In the Transformers World, he's probably not 1/55 like his Valk counterpart. Different universe here. Remember he fit Brawn and Windcharger in his cargo bay with room to spare. Quote

MJRusso45 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Posted June 28, 2004 Any topic relating to Transformers belongs in the Other Anime section.Graham Sorry, I guess the reason I posted in the Macross forum is because I was asking about the comaprison to the Yamato and Toynami scales, since I am a Macross/Robotech fan. I consider Jetfire a "Macross Toy", not really a Transformer. But that's just me. Quote
CF18 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 All TF are non-scale, except may be the BT/alternator series. Quote
EXO Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 All TF are non-scale, except may be the BT/alternator series. I was about to say the same thing... TF and scale don't really mean anything. What scale is the Megatron toy? It's not 1:1... Quote
Skull Leader Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 JETFIRE IS THE SAME SCALE AS MEGATRON AND BUBLE BEE what ARE you talking about??? That comment makes no sense. Quote
Kin Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 JETFIRE IS THE SAME SCALE AS MEGATRON AND BUBLE BEE what ARE you talking about??? That comment makes no sense. uhm... maybe he meant that jetfire has the same "scaling" feature as megatron when changing in modes in the animated series. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 JETFIRE IS THE SAME SCALE AS MEGATRON AND BUBLE BEE what ARE you talking about??? That comment makes no sense. EXACTLY LOL thats why it rocks. LOL he said bubble instead of bumble. BTW skyfire in the cartoon was a big ass plane. man he rocks. Quote
Kin Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Man I love to see all those autobots inside Jetfire when he changes in robot mode... what a horror Not to mention humans in transforming cars.. Quote
MSW Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Man I love to see all those autobots inside Jetfire when he changes in robot mode... what a horror Not to mention humans in transforming cars.. Check out the Clerks animated DVD...in the episode where Jay and Silent Bob sue Dante and Randal...at the very end when the jury is about to announce the verdict...the screen goes black and text pops up saying something to the effect of "Due to an unforseen international shipping accident. The Korean animation studio was asked to animate the ending of this episode, in place of the missing script." It cuts back to the court room, this time everything is drawn in a pseudo anime style...the jury foreman screams out "lets have big American party!!" and all the characters scramble about, decide that they must rescue the animators whom are slaveing away...rush outside the courthouse to find a giant robot, which turns into a car...some of the characters get in...and they race to the animation prison...once there the one car turns back into a robot before the people have time to get out wasn't pretty, but very funny ...Actualy that whole episode ending sequence was great!...it only lasts for a few seconds, but it packs in so many absurd refrences (Axle Foley, complete with theme music, pops by to do the bannana trick ) it's almost worth the price of the DVD set alone Quote
Guppy Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 hahahaha.. It never even crossed my mind what the implications of a 'premature transformation' would be for Spike.. Quote
Akilae Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Check out the Clerks animated DVD...<snip> it's almost worth the price of the DVD set alone DVD set? Of Kevin Smith's New Jersey Trilogy? Always struggled with whether to pick up all five DVDs or to wait for a set... Quote
KingNor Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 guys, skyfire and jetfire are NOT the same. one is a big red white and blue plane from the show, that has a face and is kinda wussy. Jetfire is just a toy if i remember correct, and posibly showed up in the comics a bit. theyr not the same transformer. Quote
