Jetfire: was he just another failed attempt at humour, or the brightest star in the whole damn movie?

Jetfire was fantastic, it was a shame he vanished in the middle only to reappear again at the end.
Why did he vanish??

He was old, so he had to sit and rest for a while. Don't know how he found everyone though. And why did he look like a Blackbird, when he'd been shut down since caveman times?

Jetifre gave the only moments of joy in the movie.

He's almost the only robot character in the film, new or existing, with a decent attempt at characterisation. (I'm guessing therefore not a co-incidence that the toy's a pocket-draining Leader Class.) Plus, cool walking stick!

Heh. I'd forgotten that line. Thank you for reminding me that not all the jokes were bad.

Thank you for reminding me that not all the jokes were bad. The one bit of dialogue in the film that struck me as surely being written by someone other than the main writing team was the very fast blink-and-you'll-miss-it exchange between Sam and two big students after Bumblebee parks in the club's flower bed. Something surreal like: "Did you park your car in our front hedge?" "It belongs to my friend. He went to fetch you a tighter shirt." "There _isn't_ a tighter shirt. We _checked_. I'm gonna ram my boot down your throat." "What shoe size are you?" Probably Shia ad-libbing or somesuch. It didn't sound scripted. Martin |

Ha ha I forgot that line - pure gold. Did Terry Pratchett write Jetfire's lines? I thought he was going to say 'Bugrit, millenium, hand and shrimp' at one point.

Looking back I like Jetfire more and more if only I wasnt imaging Pirates of the Caribean everytime he was on screen I'd have enjoyed him more.

Jetfire was indeed comedy gold. Shame it looks like he won't be in the third.

I'm not sure that Jetfire had actually been shut down for centuries. I suspect that he woke up every so often and got himself a new alt-mode, before dozing off again. He was indeed the best thing in the film by a country mile. Just about every line he had was superb, and he even managed to be entertaining when sitting on a rock delivering info-dump.
