You're thinking of Go-bots.



There were a few jets. My favorite was the rare Autobot Jetfire. GoBots had Leader One, an F-14 Tomcat. Megatron became Galvatron, a big ass Canon. Wow, I really need to grow up..... LOL, naaaaaaaaah.



Jetfire the toy was awesome, because it was stolen from the Robotech/Macross VF-1S, but Skyfire in the cartoon was pretty lame. Leader One in Go-Bots was an F-15, not a Tomcat.

I'm guessing on Megatron being a jet instead of a gun may have been done partially because of the mass-shifting wouldn't fly as well in a live action movie, as well as the new toy tie-ins may be tougher to sell as a handgun with all the legislation around toy guns since the G1 transformers came to market originally.

Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
