Man, this video was hard to make because I kept on forgetting about Jetfire's dialogue in Issue #1. It is most likely that I got something wrong here, because his backstory is a little confusing with the release of issue #13. We will have to wait and see if it is cleared up or not.
"I cannot move. Everything is... black. *I cannot see the stars anymore.* No, wait! Please! Don't leave. It's so dark. Please..." That line got to me. You end up going to war, only to die the moment you wake up, at the hands of one of your oldest friends, lamenting your failures in your final moments... and when you're brought back, you're brought back in a way that makes you wish you stayed dead. I genuinely hope Jetfire can get some reprieve at some point.
I think it's so funny that Jetfire gets woken up and just leaves. > Asleep for a gazillion years > Wakes up and says "my people need me" > refuses to elaborate > leaves
The "I can't see the stars" moment has got to be one of the most brutal, heart-wrenching things in a Transformers comic full of brutal, heart-wrenching things.
The scientist... The explorer... The wonderer, Jetfire is more than your average airealbot , he truly encompasses the pure awe and overwhelming feeling of war and death.
Nice video! Crash landing on the doorstep of The Nemesis, & being half-paralyzed to boot, is a rough state to be in. Though the Decepticons seem to have an abundance of energon for repairs, so maybe they'll fix him up (not knowing that Starscream shot him, point blank.)
Jetfire has always been one of my favourite cybertronians. His Siege figure is quite a white whale of mine! So glad you're covering him as he's been presented in Skybound.
@InfiniteDeathLoop I'd just store them like how I store all my other surplus accessories - in a tub. If you just mark it as Jet's guns they won't go missing 😁
I hope your able to get the SIEGE figure. I missed out on him back in the day but luckily there has been a few rereleases since and I was finally able to get him. definitely worth the wait and lived up to my internal hype.
This has to be the most tragic version of Jetfire, all he did was in overeager desire to too good by his people. Him getting shot by Starscream probably the biggest gut punch he could get. His "death" in issues 1 was brutal when up at that point was in 2 issues. His revival latter in the series was result of executive meddling, Hasbro didn't want Optimus and the Autobots fly his corpse. So in a way Hasbro made Jetfire life worse.
I really hope they do a twist with in the final arc having jetfire snap and end up being such a threat even though megatron probably only just returned he is forced to team his decepticons up with the Autobots to stop a vengeful jetfire getting everyone else back for the torture they have caused him
I have a feeling Jetfire won’t catch a break until after DWJ is done with the series. He really only brought Jetfire “back” because the story dictated that the Autobots needed a way to get around. That’s really it. It was all for story logistics & in the process Jetfire’s story only became more tragic, not less. I will say though, I do think Jetfire will eventually be fully resurrected…just not in the next year.
I don't think that since the Fall of Cybertron has, the desperation and the moral grayness of the war have been actualized. You analyzed THAT heartbreaking, and I think pivotal, panel so beautifully (I cannot see the stars panel). No one feels like a hero; everyone feels in the wrong.
My head cannon as to how Jetfire knew to call Starscream by his new name is that it probably showed Starscream’s name on Teltran-1 and Jetfire just rolled with it.
I hope that Jetfire will eventually make a comeback one day. Perhaps he would undergo a reformatting to have a new and improved body in form of VF-1S Super Valkyrie.
My introduction to Jetfire was in Revenge of the Fallen although that adaptation of him was far different, my favorite version of him is from the Cybertron games, personally, I like the idea of Jetfire being the Autobot Air Commander in contrast to Starscream
This is a huge nitpick, but i kinda wish Jetfire was still the big dude we saw in G1. Where Optimus only goes up to like his waste. His Characterization in these books has been amazing though. But please Daniel Warren Johnson, what happened to Jetfire after he crashed in issue 9!?
One thing I wonder is if it will ever be acknowledged that Spike and Carly are orphans, since it's clear that they don't have anyone else as well as that they're teenagers which you know, will complicate things for them going forward.
I mean they have graduated high school (there’s even a photo of Carly’s graduation), since they were discussing colleges, so they don’t have to worry about that, but yeah. They have no money for supplies (except at their houses?), so that’s gonna get tough.
@@TandaSandaBanda While they are old enough to go to college (not that they have the money for it) they're still young enough that their parents have to be in their lives in more ways than one. Additionally both of them are in the middle of a war.
Great work as always Delta 👍 I was hoping to do a shoutout to u and your channel on my channel’s next week’s episode, with ur permission of course. So let me know if that’s cool 😎

Jetfire is so tragic man, dude just wanted his friends to wake up
The scientist... The explorer... The wonderer, Jetfire is more than your average airealbot , he truly encompasses the pure awe and overwhelming feeling of war and death.
Do you mean that he "wonders" about things, or that he "wanders" off?

That siege figure is amazing.
My only problem is I have no idea what to do with his other accessories when I want Jetfire show accurate lnao 😂

I heard they're re-releasing next year in a Skybound/Energon deco--might be your chance to get him!
@Dotification Oh? That is intriguing! I'll keep an eye out, thanks for telling me!
“i cannot see the stars anymore” is one of the most heartbreaking lines maybe ever. such a good comic. great breakdown

Jetfire is one of my favorite characters, they cant do my boy like this 😭
"Jetfire, a casualty of war" is a fitting title for a fitting video, luv the vid as always
I really hope they do a twist with in the final arc having jetfire snap and end up being such a threat even though megatron probably only just returned he is forced to team his decepticons up with the Autobots to stop a vengeful jetfire getting everyone else back for the torture they have caused him
Man poor jetfire and knowing that it’s only gonna get worse. Masterful writing as always
If Jetfire is this tragic, I can’t imagine how heartbreaking Gears’ story would be. Maybe he is so grumpy and miserable because of a traumatic past.
I have a feeling Jetfire won’t catch a break until after DWJ is done with the series. He really only brought Jetfire “back” because the story dictated that the Autobots needed a way to get around. That’s really it. It was all for story logistics & in the process Jetfire’s story only became more tragic, not less.

Really excited for this! So happy someone is finally covering this legendary character. Thanks so much Delta!

"MA! THEY MADE 'JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN' WITH ROBOTS!"
I hope that Jetfire will eventually make a comeback one day. Perhaps he would undergo a reformatting to have a new and improved body in form of VF-1S Super Valkyrie.
Oh deary he is in for a ride
💀
I atill believe we will get a Starscream redemption moment where he will be the most important piece to bring back jetfire
Great video , as always !
Can't wait for your next Starscream video !
My introduction to Jetfire was in Revenge of the Fallen although that adaptation of him was far different, my favorite version of him is from the Cybertron games, personally, I like the idea of Jetfire being the Autobot Air Commander in contrast to Starscream
oh this gon be a good one!
yes
Ya

I’m so afraid we’re going to see quite the dark interpretation of a flight mode Optimus prime in this series
I never knew that there was all this additional connected material to Transformers 😅

Bestie wake up delta trion just posted
Hey can you do a thought video of starscream and windblade relationship?
Please go over Thundercracker in the EU comics!! (If he has a lot of moments and contribution in it like Starscream does) 😊
Great work as always Delta 👍 I was hoping to do a shoutout to u and your channel on my channel’s next week’s episode, with ur permission of course. So let me know if that’s cool 😎
