Simple... they just dug him up again or something.
Err.. right to try and explain the JetFire/Skyfire thing...
ok for Jetfire (who came first) they wanted a futuristic jet.. so they used a Macross Valkery. But due to licencing issues. Which are more strickt in the west they couldn't use JetFire in the cartoon as they'd probubly have to pay a ton of royaltys as they dont realy own the mold.
So they Created Skyfire... who IS jetfire basicly.. just looks different and has a slightly changed name. Also in the comics Jetfire is still named Jetfire but looks like Skyfire.
There was never a Skyfire toy.... although I beleave there was a custom maid one in very limited numbers at a TF convention.
This is also why Jetfire will most likely never be reissued as he is a Bandi mold

[glow=blue,2,000]Wait a minute, did they have to change the name too? I did always like Skyfire better then Jetfire, Jetfire sounds like it should belong to a Aerialbot anyways.[/glow]]

Skyfire was the name they used in the cartoon to make it seam like he was some one else.
I have to admit I prefer it too. It was all so darn confusing and the thing is the Cartoon Skyfire would have made a pretty funky toy and all... shame they never did it

I think Skyfire's wicked, he can totally kick ass. Although I don't understand why they used Jetfire in Armada if they could of just used Skyfire who's obviously going to be more popular, better known and therefore in theory should generate more toy sales.

Its more than likely that hasbro have lost the licence to the name Skyfire but still have the jetfire one.

but if they had to remove Jetfire from the series that should mean that they don't have the license for him

lol no its his aperance that they dont have the licance for.. the name Skyfire was only used in the cartoon for the first season or whatever where as In the comic he was called Jetfire but had Skyfires look.
So they have the name Jetfire.. and the look of Skyfire... but they cant release the original mold of Jetfire and like said they have probubly lost the licance to the name Skyfire.. Like the did with Jazz and Hotrod. Hence Hotrod being called Rodimus Major.. or Hot Rodimus now.. and Jazz is cleverly called Autobot Jazz but everyone just dropps the autobot bit
