What's the point of transformers, that don't transform?

Of course this all makes sense... Transformers and G.I. Joe both exist within the same Universe and have had many adventures together in the comics.

So...why not combine both franchises and make one ultimate, bad-ass movie? (yeah yeah...money talks) Especially with the G.I. Joe movies sucking and Transformers being more of a Michael Bay political statement for the pros of the wars in the Middle East. Heck, might as well have had the Joes in the first two since those characters pretty much stole the spotlight.

Oh and why does Jetfire look so much like Rick Hunter's jet fighter/mecha from Robotech? I've wondered this since I was a kid and owned both.

Ah, found it on Wikipedia:

Jetfire (1985)
Accessories: "Photon Missile Launcher", rifle mounting pod, "Turbo Thruster" booster pack, 2 leg guards (left & right), 2 arm guards, 2 fenders

A redeco of the Takatoku Toys Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie, Jetfire features three modes: robot, jet, and an "alternate transformation" (Called "Gerwalk" form in Macross) that deploys his arms and legs in jet mode. Additionally, Jetfire comes with several red pieces of armor and rocket booster backpack that can snap onto his arms, legs, and back in any mode. He has noticeably more articulation than the other Transformers in the line at the time. The VF-1S toy is based on a design by mecha designer Shōji Kawamori.

The shoulder assembly where the jet mode folds in half for robot mode is one of the more commonly broken parts in the early Transformers toy line. The more rigid plastic used on the armor pieces also means that it's not uncommon for their attachment clips to have snapped off. And finally, the small black clip-piece that attaches Jetfire's rifle to his jet mode is possibly one of the most commonly missing accessories on secondhand Jetfires, if not secondhand Transformers all around. The fact that the instructions don't tell you what to do with it doesn't help. The piece is used to hold Jetfire's rifle via the clip attached to the arm, as well as under the jetmode as a belly gun.

There were main two variations of the toy: one featuring the Macross UN Spacy logo on the wings, and one without the logo. The Macross logo was either painted on or came as a sticker. The logo-less variant has a continuous red strip along the length of the wing, whilst both logo versions have a slight gap in the paint apps surrounding the logo.

@BlindJustice

It also helps in this case that this is a G.I.Joe Sky Striker (so basically an F-14) with the Jetfire accessories (and the VAMP jeep here is just that, a VAMP with a Hound paint job).

What are those little colorful rectangular thingies?

LOL @plasticman

in a time long since past, those "colorful retangular thingies" were called cassettes. They predate CDs and used to carry messages to the ears of their owners :-p
