I grew up watching Transformers and Robotech and my favorite alt mode is probably a jet. I'm just wondering what everyone's favorite jetformer is. I'd probably say Movie a Leader Starscream - looks good in both modes, and no ROJS (Robot Under Jet Syndrome). What's your favorite?
Currently: Beast Machines deluxe Jetstorm ROTF Mindwipe FE Starscream ROTF Breakaway/Thrust Classics Seeker mold
I bounce between the original mp3 mold Japanese Skywarp, movie Terradive, and this Macross toy I have that looks like the most amazing MP Jetfire ever.
All the G2 cyber jets are pretty cool little figures. I also really like the space case mold (not 100% sure what line he is).
I love the jet alt modes. I'll always have a spot in my heart for the original seekers. Beast Machines Jetstorm is another one I really like, and Generations Jetfire. I like the F22 for movie Starscream, but I personally don't like the robot mode at all. Oh, and even though it's not TF, the Veritech from Robotech is just awesome.
In terms of mold, I'd say the Animated Activator Seeker mold. I'm also fond of the Prime Cyberverse Commander Dreadwing. Despite not liking the movie aesthetic at all, I actually like the Deluxe Seeker mold as well. But my favorite? I honestly don't know. I'll have to think about it and get back to you. EDIT: Thinking it over, the answer should've been obvious MP Star Saber.
Does Generations Scourge count? That figure pulls off a great jet/bomber mode with a fabulous robot mode to go with it.
I've always found The engineering on the Movie-series Space Case/Terradive to be pretty amazing. Would love to have seen some of the innovations there on the CW jets
Also quite good, which reminds me, the aforementioned G2 Laserjets were ahead of their time and the G2 Dreadwing/Smokescreen Megatron/Starscream BW2 BB/Starscrem (was that the misspelling?) molds were sweet. I've also always had a soft spot for the Energon Starscream and Slugslinger molds.
There's so many I have in mind... HFTD Starscream The MP-11 mold FOC Seeker mold Classics Seeker mold Prime Dreadwing
Original G1 Jetfire and all the associated Macross Valks. Present day I like CW Air Raid and Slingshot too.
Top is MP3 'Greenscream', best jet mode of any Transformer ever. Next is Energon/Superlink Starscream/Nightscream. Last... eh not sure. I think it's probably RotF Voyager Starscream, who still has one of the most mind boggling transformations ever. And honourable mentions go to Beast Machines Spystreak... Beast Machines Obsidian... Legends Starscream (Animated) RotF Breakaway. Those are the ones who spring to mind.
animated starscream mold is my favorite jetformer I only wish we got thundercracker and a g1 deco starscream version
MP-3 Skywarp (I like pretending that the MP-3 mold was required for his "teleporting tech" when standing with my MP-11s) G1 Slugslinger BM Ultra Jetstorm
