I figured they could link as a kid because optimus could powerlink with his trailer. So I figured he’d be able to powerlink with somebody else and well jet fire was so cool
Between some scenes that seem to be lifted from Armada in the first movie as well (Optimus scanning his vehicle form comes to mind), it makes me wonder if they intended to adapt the Armada series more so then the original g1 cartoon.
Was i the only one who thought this was the best fan service transformers series of its age? i loved how he combined with jetfire, and who. else could he combine with?
Well it’s a long story… Energon: A small fire truck, a small helicopter, a small drill and a small submarine, wing saber, omega supreme Cybetron:Wing saber again, Leo breaker, trailer again
@@Firestorm2814Sector I wish they gave him more time to shine in the cartoon....would of been sick if there was some character development for him. Oh well, guess we shall stick with giant mounted cannons on Prime's shoulders ;P !
I loved this transformation! I even had the Optimus Prime and Jet Fire toy to combine them! One of my favorite childhood memories! This show was awesome!
Paul Ramos I saw this on a DVD when I was Three, and it blew my young mind seeing Optimus who I had only previously seen in the movies, combine with jetfire and it was the coolest thing ever
Not the best but it was was a really good Transformers show. It started slow but when the story really took off, it was really good. Too bad energon and Cybertron were not as good.
Optimus's eyes met Jetfire's eyes *Transformers more than meets the eye* Jetfire moves toward Optimus *Transformers robots in disguise* The voice overwhelms the word robots At that moment you know something badass coming.
Optimus and Jetfire linking up like this still tands as one of the best parts of Armada, especially given how Optimus and Jetfire becoming Jet Optimus/Jet Convoy turned the tide plenty of times, like here vs. Starscream and Thrust.
Bruh that was epic. He's like I gotta do something about this and fucking flung himself into space knowing he could die. My man took a leap of faith! x'D !
Man I remember having this toy when I was younger. Got given away in a move along with the rest of my armada collection and other old toys. Really miss that collection.
The most and the best Transformer series that was ever made in the 2000s.. And forever nostalgia for the 90s kids...!!! This definitely needs a remake.
I saw this on an old DVD when I was three, and it blew my young mind watching this, and I literally danced to the soundtrack and pretended to be Optimus and jet fire combined for the next three months. Seriously though, this optimus could totally kick the ass of the one from energon.
It warms my heart to see this properly animated. I loved this series as a kid, but I swear the guys drawing the panels must have been drunk half the time because, all to often, jetconvoy/ jetoptimus would have scenes where he would still have a trailer for his legs or have a red decepticon symbol on instead of his autobot symbol. And it wasn't just prime that got that neglect, others too. Regardless it is still near and dear to my heart and I am happy to see the mistakes corrected.
Yeah, that's cause the American producers didn't get 100% of the cells from the Japanese animators, before it was time to broadcast. Mainly due to impatience. So they had to mismatch to make deadlines.
The Unicron Trilogy had Optimus Prime in so many Transformation & Combination forms. Armada: Super Mode with his Cargo Trailer & Minicon partner Spark-plug, here with Jetfire, Overload for Magna Mode, then later with Jetfire & Overload. Energon: Super Mode with his Prime Force drones, 2 forms with Wingsaber, and with Omega Supreme. Cybertron: His Fire Engine for Super Mode, Savage Claw Mode with Leobreaker formally know as Overhaul, then Sonic Wing Mode with Wingsaber again.
The memories. I would bike at top speed while trying not to end up ether a hood ornament nor having to be surgically peeled off a light post in order to get home before 4:30 pm in order to catch the next episode. How I managed to avoid deaths scythe so many times, I’ll never know. Never once did I crash. BTW, I was the kid wearing elbow pads, wrist guards, knee pads, and shin guards and a literal motorcycle helmet. If mom could, I would have been the kid wearing a bubble suit for protection. What she didn’t know, I was stopping on the corner turning into my street to get the pads and guards on. She’s never found out. This scene was epic. The eye contact between Prime and Jetfire. You could see the communication going on. “We’re doing it.” “IT?” “Yes. It.” “You got it!”
I love this scene from the show, easily one of my favorites. Now that we finally got a modern updated figure of Armada Optimus Prime in the Legacy toyline, as well as the upcoming Tidal Wave who has components to make the combined Megatron mode, I really hope Hasbro and Takara can give us a modern Armada Jetfire that can link up with Optimus.
Optimus' one liner. Starscream falling out of the sky. Megatron wonder wtf is going on and that music in the background. This was perfect xD. One of my all-time favorite Transformers shows.
Am I the only person to realize two things about this scene? 1.) That when Optimus & Jetfire merge, Optimus calls it "Jet Convoy," which is the Japanese name for it. Why wasn't there ever an English translation? Something like "Jet Optimus." 2.) Do you realize that since Optimus's body flips over - with hands coming out of his feet & all - that "Jet Convoy" is technically the literal definition of the term "butt-head"?
Yeah, the thing with Armada is that unlike other Japanese Transformers show, it was aired first in the US and then in Japan (Armada started airing in the US in August 2002 and then in Japan in January 2003), and as such there were frames that werent finished or cleaned-up (which were by the time the series aired in Japan) and script errors that slip through the Dub text, Jet Convoy was one of them, but then in all his other appearances they called him Jet Optimus
Ha refreshed my childhood memories I used to watch this show when I was studying fourth standard now I completed my MBA and doing job in Dubai and going to start my own business in UAE I’m from India
This is honestly one of the o my arcs I remember from any of the transformers shows I watched growing up. If I am not mistaken this is when they fight tidal wave
The single best transformation in the whole series. This is what they should’ve had Optimus and Jetfire’s combination in the Bayverse movies be instead of getting a cannon and jetback.
Being a kid is having the bliss of not noticing this show is mostly still images moving across a screen. The only parts that had actual animation were the transformations
Lot's of people said there is no way for Transformers to use a source material from their anime counterpart, but look at this it's applied on Revenge of The Fallen movie. So every source & concept actually can be in the live action movies.
That silent look between Optimus and Jetfire was such an anime
"Hey, lets do that"
"*That*?"
"Yeah, *THAT*"
moment
Frfr
"You mean the thing where I turn into jet boots for you?"
"Yep"
"....fine. You're the boss"
Maybe the only silent command in anime that worked as they had planned.( Ainz and Demiurge, please take notes).
They were cooking that one in the labs and it was time to roll it out.
Hands down the best moment of the entire series. This combination came out of absolute nowhere.
Amen! This made me love Jetfire! NO ONE saw this coming.
I figured they could link as a kid because optimus could powerlink with his trailer. So I figured he’d be able to powerlink with somebody else and well jet fire was so cool
Much earlier than the movie version.
Loved this more than the movie version, childhood memory
THIS is how upgrading should be done.
Not some rubbish about earning and training for it, it should just come out of nowhere and stun everyone!
I lost my shit when they put this in revenge of the fallen. Taking a scene from my favorite show and making it just as badass, FUCK YES!!!
Pride!Ed BBI/BBR transformers the egypten scene jetfire killed himself to give optimus hes power back
VPT2 this ones soundtrack and background sequence was better though
The movie stick a lot from the Armada show
Between some scenes that seem to be lifted from Armada in the first movie as well (Optimus scanning his vehicle form comes to mind), it makes me wonder if they intended to adapt the Armada series more so then the original g1 cartoon.
I screamed power link when I saw that and tears ran down my eyes.
2:35 "they dont call him Starscream for nothing."
It was that moment I realized optimus had enough of his shit
Dank Starscream Armada Starscream was one of my favourites, and I'm not big on Starscream usually.
TheSpartan117 xD yea

"They dont call you Starscream for nothing."

Lmao😂😂😂
that's a line I never forgot lmfao
My eyebrows flexed on their own when he said that lol

20 years later and it’s still as cool when I first seen this on cartoon network
A remake of this is needed
Nostalgia
I don't know man. With those 3D anime shit they might make it worse these days
@@blamitdszYou know, with everything they got wrong in WFC trilogy, they really nailed the animation.. even a Prime style would work
didn't he and jetfire still have a combo in cybertron?
@immapotato1 nope he linked with wingsaber
Was i the only one who thought this was the best fan service transformers series of its age? i loved how he combined with jetfire, and who. else could he combine with?
He could combine with his trailer and Overload (The red thing that became cannons)
Overload! He didn't talk at all in the series last I remember. I had all three of them :P !
Well it’s a long story…
Energon: A small fire truck, a small helicopter, a small drill and a small submarine, wing saber, omega supreme
Cybetron:Wing saber again, Leo breaker, trailer again

Nagare Ryouma 8 or 9 for me lol
Nagare Ryouma good
Nagare Ryouma 9 or 10 me
I loved this show
Yup same
I like to think that Revenge of the Fallen took cues from this show when combining Optimus and Jetfire.
except jetfire here doesn't have to die
I agree
I was so happy when it happened! I was hoping that they would continue in later movies.
1000%
Revenge of the fallen ruined Jetfire for me.,
I loved this transformation! I even had the Optimus Prime and Jet Fire toy to combine them! One of my favorite childhood memories! This show was awesome!
Paul Ramos overload was fun to add too.
Paul Ramos Me too
Paul Ramos I saw this on a DVD when I was Three, and it blew my young mind seeing Optimus who I had only previously seen in the movies, combine with jetfire and it was the coolest thing ever

@@jonathanwerrell3897Energon was the worst, but while Cybertron wasn’t good as Armada, it was far better than Energon
Now THIS was my transformers show as a kid, man this hits me right in the nostalgia
I still find it funny that Optimus' head comes out of his ass when he does the super mode
HAHAHA
It's so cursed though
Yes, the only time Optimus gets his head out of his ass
The Totally-Not-Suspicious bike was _not_ expecting Optimus to acquire jet-powered rocket pants
To me, power-link was like the fusion (DBZ) for Transformers Armada, only Optimus was in full control
actually transformers did it 1st

At that moment you know something badass coming.
This show had the BEST toys. I love how they transform in the in the same fold out way the toys do

Nobody saw it coming 😎😎😎
Optimus literally free fall from the jump from the base and manage to fall in sequence with jetfire to link up 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My favorite moment in transformers history

The first transformers show I ever saw. Been a fan ever since. God I need to find it and rewatch it.

One Of The Most Epic Moments Of Our Childhood
bruh I spent my childhood watching this rip
diffuse Same
Yep
Watching it after so many years..!! Memories!!
The Unicron Trilogy had Optimus Prime in so many Transformation & Combination forms.
Armada: Super Mode with his Cargo Trailer & Minicon partner Spark-plug, here with Jetfire, Overload for Magna Mode, then later with Jetfire & Overload.
Energon: Super Mode with his Prime Force drones, 2 forms with Wingsaber, and with Omega Supreme.
Cybertron: His Fire Engine for Super Mode, Savage Claw Mode with Leobreaker formally know as Overhaul, then Sonic Wing Mode with Wingsaber again.
All to sell toys
Im 30 years old now and this scene will never not be awesome!!
The memories. I would bike at top speed while trying not to end up ether a hood ornament nor having to be surgically peeled off a light post in order to get home before 4:30 pm in order to catch the next episode.

Replying to the very end, jetfire was also like, oh crap your falling! Lol
2:11 oops looks like the dub script forgot to change the name to jet optimus
to be fair jet convoy sounds cool.
A few times in the show the dub used the Japanese names, the narrator called Tidal Wave ‘Shockwave’ once
I was around 6-8 years old when Armada was actually on. Dude when they first busted out Jet Convoy my brother and I were going ape shit.
This is always going to be the best link-up. Savage claw is cool too, but this was just epic.
Man seeing this makes me wish I would've kept all my transformers from Armada to Cyborton
i like how no one questioned sending him in the middle of the sky to fall like a brick
I love this scene from the show, easily one of my favorites.

One of the ideas US takes from Japanese style Transformers into movie series.

I believe this is the only time they call it Jet Convoy, calling it Jet Optimus in all other instances.
They called it Jet Optimus Supermode in Hindi

My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw this for the first time as a kid. Memories man great memories
Me: So are those ur hands or your feet?
Optimus: *yes*
Man, watching this with the sound muted really makes me appreciate that quality animation!
