The original Jetfire was a toy released in 1985, in the second wave of Transformers. Hasbro decided that the Autobots needed some kind of air support, and went looking for a toy to fill the role. They found what they were looking for in the Super Dimension Fortress Macross toy, the VF-1S Super Valkyrie. Takatoku, the toy's original creators had gone bankrupt, and newcomer (to the Valkyrie scene anyway) Matsushiro bought the rights and molds and stepped up to the plate of producing the toys. To prepare the toy for the American market they removed the missiles and yanked the springs from the (GU-11) gunpod so it couldn't fire them even if they had the missiles, and filed off the nose of the plane so it wasn't quite so pointy. (It's also visibly shorter...) They also modified the colors, adding more red on the body (and nose), coloring the armor red, changing the emblems (stickers and whatnot) and adding to them. The Jetfires by Matsushiro are the "rare" Macross symbol Jetfires... Later on, Matsushiro died somehow and Bandai gobbled up the molds, rights... and contracts. They had to honor the contract with Hasbro and continually supplying the toy, and went on and made their own variations of it. It's not clear whether the hostile economic climate at the time killed Matsushiro and Bandai gobbled their corpse up, or if instead Bandai absorbed the still living Matsushiro for the sake of getting at the Valkyries. Perhaps some day more information will surface. Well, there's always that Matsushiro VF-1J Valkyrie I have... For the American release, a television commercial was made, containing the only exisiting animation of Jetfire (in his true form, the Valkyrie.) For Jetfire to serve in his role as air support for the Autobots, he would need to be more powerful than the Decepticon jets, and for the most part, was.
