Quote:... Jetfire (anyone notice the similarity with Robotech on this one???) ...There is no similarity. 'Similarity' implies that there is some small degree of differenceâ Jetfire is identical to the Robotech robots. Right down to the gun and the detachable armor/booster suite. You could even transform him part-way just as the Robotech machines did, throwing out their engine nacelles as legs and the arms out to fire the rifle while still bearing a resemblence to a fighter airframe.
Bear in mind that, in the show, the Transformer was known as Skyfire. For odd merchandising reasons, they simply took the Robotech model, slapped some Autobot decals on it, and sold it as Jetfire.
By the by, my Jetfire was one of the few that were spared from the screwdriver.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
