Jetfire Custom Revenge of the Fallen Transformers Figure

I have always been a fan of the military and the “might” that they produce so when I saw that Jetfire was an SR-71 Blackbird I was stoked and Bratimus Customs has paid a great homage to this great warrior with his Custom Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire.  The paint aps on this figure bring out so much of the detail that was lost in the original Hasbro version.  The style of paint really adds depth to the figure and brings the character to life.  I can almost hear Jetfire’s crotchety old voice through this figure.  The blue LED’s are a great addition to the figure!

Ever since Revenge of the Fallen came out of the theaters, this character had me hooked.  He was cranky, old, and most of all fun!  I’ve always been curious as to what Jetfire would look like in his toy version. When he was finally released, I have to say that Jetfire was such a canvas for creativity.We had a blast just trying to add details to the final paint.  We ended up deciding to put details on the gears inside his torso and thighs that we had to sacrifice some of the electronics particularly the sounds that he makes.  Moreover, we had to sacrifice the Decepticon, skunk and Lt. Col. Brawley Insigna to make the jet look like a a sleek blackbird.

To find out what other mods and paint they chose for this great figure, head over to eBay and check out Bratimus Customs’ Custom Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire figure.

Custom Toxic Zombie Jetfire

Halloween brings out another side in customers.  I am used to seeing the Marvel Legends figures done up Zombie style but this is the first Transformers figure I have seen done this way and I have to say I am liking it!  To commemorate Halloween 2009, Frenzy.Rumble has created this one of a kind Custom Toxic Zombie Transformers Jetfire figure.  What you are seeing in the photo above is not an optical illusion but a “special mix of paint and micoscopic beads to create the ‘toxic slime’ effect” that glows in the dark.  This figure looks awesome in robot mode as well so if you want to view more photos, head over to eBay and check out Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom Toxic Zombie Transformers Jetfire figure.

One of my favorite military planes and also a great figure to add to the Revenge of the Fallen line, TK385 has brought this great concept of a figure to life with his Custom Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire figure.  Not only does this figure have an excellent paint job, but it also has a special feature that I have not seen anyone do before.  You can take a look at the effect below (which is not Photoshop):

Here is TK385 to tell you more about this great effect:

“Added are Super Bright 2 colors LED Lights to both jet engines for a realistic jet effect.  Each jet engine can be activated individually. Activation mechanism is build in, nothing external to loose! This modification does not disable its tranformation capability”

A very cool figure to own!  It can be yours by heading over to eBay and bidding on TK385’s Custom Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire figure.

*Spoiler Alert*

Another high point on the Revenge of the Fallen movie was when Sam used the Matrix to bring Optimus back to life and Jetfire sacrificed himself for spare parts so that Prime could fend off and defeat the The Fallen.  Frenzy.Rumble has captured this aspect of the movie in super high detail with his Custom Revenge of the Fallen Power Up Optimus Prime figure, which uses Leader Class Prime and Jetfire figures.  Another favorite figure for me was Jetfire and although I have not spotted any figures in retail stores, I will be keeping my eyes out that one as it looks cool.  The one thing I really love about all of Frenzy.Rumble’s is that he makes excellent choices with repsect to paint apps and modifications.  It seems like the mods are all in the right places and the paint aps are bullet proof.  I can’t possibly write about all of the amazing aspects of this figure so here is Frenzy.Rumble to tell you more about it:

Optimus Prime Modifications and Details
- “Truck Mode” flames were meticulously “traced” on computer using oversized images of the real truck, printed and sized accordingly, then processed and plotted onto high performance vinyl creating perfect stencils. The flames were then air brushed and hand pin-striped.
- Real chrome paint on front grill, bumper, exhausts, rims and other areas. Protected with industrial strength clear coat via air brush.
- Extra accessories fitted; chrome rear view mirrors and exhaust pipes, red and blue wiring on the back of the cab.
- Fully articulated hands with rotation at the wrists (allowing him to hold bonus items to be seen later….)
- Ultra shiny and durable lacquer paints used.

Jetfire Modifications and Details
- Meticulously detailed, every wire, gear, detail…. painted to look like the real deal.
- 5mm ultra-bright blue LED lights added to his jet turbines which are activated through reliable switches.
- Arm “kibble” modified so that it is removable, giving his robot form a much more accurate appearance.
- Articulated fingers and hands with rotation at the wrists. The ”out of box” Jetfire has “fused fingers”
- Ultra matte finish on his alt mode ; SR-71 Blackbird.
- Modified head allowing him to look right and left

Power-Up Prime
- Added jet wings to his lower legs and chest
- Fixed the shoulder pads to better resemble the on-screen and concept art.
- Added parts to his feet to give a more accurate look to the on-screen and concept art.
- Created “alternate” transformation sequence to really make him one-of-kind and more movie accurate.

Head over to eBay and check out this amazing Custom Revenge of the Fallen Power Up Optimus Prime figure from Frenzy.Rumble.

One of the high points in the Revenge of the Fallen Transformers movie was when Jetfire sacrificed himself to lend a hand to Optimus Prime’s fight against The Fallen and the Decepticons.  His Custom Optims Prime Jetfire Combiner figure brings to life the newly resurrected Optimus Prime and he does a great job integrating the SR71 Blackbird parts into this Prime figure.  I thought this was a cool concept and this figure is nicely executed.  For more, head over to eBay!

Taking Jetfire back to his roots, Boggs6ft7 brings us this awesome Jetfire VF-1S Custom Macross Transformers Robotech figure.  From the skull and crossbones to the classic yellow and black paint aps, this figure captures the essence of the original while still retaining the feel of a Jetfire figure.  I love the weathering job that was done and the detailing is just enough for this figure.  I took a look at the original Marcross VF-1S figure and that is loaded with extra detailing, which is a little overkill in my opinion.  If you want an original custom that you will never see anywhere else, head over to eBay and check out Boggs6ft7’s Jetfire VF-1S Custom Macross Transformers Robotech figure.

 What if Jetfire played for the Decepticons? boggs6ft7’s plays this question out with his Custom Transformers Evil Jetfire figure. There are too many cool customs to write about each week but from time to time I look in eBay’s completed items and come across some gems and this is definitely one of them. Although the auction is over, you can still read more about this great figure and see more pictures of this one of a kind Custom Evil Jetfire.

The Generation 1 version of Jetfire has to be one of my favorite 1980’s Transformers. Jin Saotome has revived this Classics Jetfire and made it his own with his Custom Transformers Jetfire Generation 1 style. In his own words, he is “Transformers fan request week” and Jin is delivering some ‘Fan’s Choice’ (Star Wars fans would appreciate the reference) customs. I bought this figure and although the Classics line has done a good job recreating this great figure, Jin has take it to the next level. Here are some details on how Jin paid homage to this G1 icon:

“The entire figure has been repainted with all sorts of shading, washes, highlights, metallic gunmetal effects, and more. He comes with three magnetic hands, one gripping, one open palm (Force effect, hah!) and one “thumbs up” hand to show that he’s landed in one piece yet again.”

Head over to eBay to find more Custom Transformers figures.

(Someone does not belong in this Masterpiece lineup! Can you guess who?)

The Masterpiece line has been a huge hit for Takara and the figure line keeps growing (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Ultra Magnus, Skywarp). What if Takara made a Masterpiece Jetfire? deafinoneear shows you what it might look like with his custom Masterpiece Jetfire from a Yamato VF-1S 1/48.
