ACE PRIDE
It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals
Today (April 6th) is Asexuality Day so to celebrate myself and other people on the asexual spectrum I drew Barbie from the Barbie movie! She’s such an icon :D
Happy ace day!
So that’s why he’s such an underused character in G1 :0 It always made me sad that he appears so rarely and disappears for episodes and episodes at a time. “Only use when necessary” oof.
Anyways glad to see a straightforward explanation of this, I knew there was legal issues but I didn’t know exactly how it changed or why he went from Jetfire to Skyfire to Jetfire again. The toy lines always be messing with the show. Reminds me of Rumble and Frenzy’s mixed up colors thanks to confusion between the show and the toys lol
I’ve always been confused over the whole jetfire/sky fire name situation, and you seem like the kind of person who would know what’s going on with that. Love your art btw
Thank you ! And yes ! Let me explain the Skyfire Jetfire name situation !
So Jetfire’s original toy came from the Macross Super Valkyrie and he looked like this.
Hasbro licensed Jetfire (the toy) to be used in the Transformers line but did not license him to be used in media (the show). When Jetfire appeared in a commercial fighting Shockwave, Macross sued Hasbro over the use of Jetfire, as they had not licensed him to be used as a character in the show and continued to sue them over Jetfire which is why they had to redesign Jetfire and change his name to Skyfire in the Generation 1 Cartoon.
Hasbro avoided using Jetfire/Skyfire in the show too much so that Macross wouldn’t sue them, it’s even stated in the original pitch bible
Things were eventually sorted out legal wise and now Hasbro can use Jetfire’s name without being sued which is why his name is Jetfire and no longer Skyfire
When he’s got his armor on I think it’s a homage to his original Valkyrie design which i find very charming !
BUT YEAH— THATS BASICALLY THE GIST OF IT !
Originally named Jetfire -> name changed to Skyfire in the G1 Cartoon to avoid getting sued by Macross -> Legal issues sorted -> name changed back to Jetfire
His names are kind of used interchangeably now ! But it just depends on whoever you ask !
I recommend watching The Many Toys of Jetfire if you wanna learn some more about it, Ronbondujon goes over it better than I do and also goes over all of Jetfire’s toys !
favorite character from any media BUT it has to be a woman. in the tags now go (pls talk to me about your favorite fictional women pls pls pls pls)
Prowl art dump because he sucks so much he’s such a problematic mess it makes me want to draw him
I don't like ES season 2 and 3 but I can't stop thinking about this episode 😔
