SKYFIRE! (or Jetfire, call him what you prefer :D)

Cybertronian Scientist: Designation: SKYFIRE

forget what you were tricked into thinking with the character presented in Michael Bay's "Revenge of the Fallen" - Jetfire was never an old black Scottish Blackbird.

For those of us who were fans, The character was alternatively known as Jetfire/Skyfire (in the cartoon he "needed" to be renamed because his original toy was a knockoff of Robotech/Macross' main transforming robot).

He was a Red White and Blue Jumbo jet that crashed into the arctic millions of years ago (uh-oh did I just reveal who's storyline they ripped this off for in Transformers 1? ;P) and was later resurrected by the Decepticons and drafted into their army, seeing as he used to be best friends with Starscream before The Great War started.

Now, after realizing that the Decepticons are generally nasty 'bots, he has joined the cause of Optimus Prime and the Autobots to fight for peace and justice, AND HE'S OUT FOR 'CON'S DIODES!
