Re: Consumer's Distributing Jetfire With Missiles
Looked into this in 2011 a little bit when I got shown a G1 Jetfire boxed in robot mode that was said to be that consumers distributing variant. Story was it had been recalled due to the missile firing feature.
I chatted about it with Protoman and a couple other esteemed experts. General vibe was, maybe it existed because there were a lot of little differences on different production runs - but the one I snapped a picture of boxed in robot mode was likely a creative swap out with the styrofoam from the robotech version. The styrofoam trays would fit in the Hasbro Jetfire boxes.
Daniel mentioned that some early versions of Jetfire did come with shooting missiles and even Macross decals on the wings, hilighting the varied production runs of the beast.
So maybe, but it could just easily be a folk tale spawned with slivers of truth to it(like the shooting missiles)
