Who is your favourite Decepticon Jet?

[GoktimusPrime]

Who was your favourite Decepticon Jet growing up as a child of the 80s? Again we're looking your childhood favourite toy, not necessarily who is your favourite now.

e.g. my childhood favourite Decepticon was Skywarp. Because he was my first Decepticon (Xmas gift, 1984), and I loved that he could teleport. By the time I was in high school though, my preference shifted to Thundercracker (which it is today) because I love the moral ambiguity of the character. But primary school me didn't give a stuff about moron ambulances! Skywarp teleport! Pew pew pew! Although Thundercracker was my 2nd favourite Jet, because damn that metallic blue is beautiful! I never bought Starscream. I received him as a birthday present in 1986. Scourge was my least favourite and the only Jet that I never bought (or even received) as a kid. He just doesn't look like a Jet to me, and before TFTM came out I honestly thought that he was a hovercraft. Then I watched TFTM and discovered that he was a flying hovercraft. But not a jet! I eventually got Scourge for free when I was a uni student because my friends were going through this stage where they decided that they were "too old" for toys (WTH?! ) and just gave them to me for free.

Skywarp, I never had him as a kid but he was still my favourite then, I just loved his colours and even as an adult I still think he is the sexiest Decepticon jet by far.

Dirge - my first ever Transformer! Still have him too

Thundercracker, by a mile.

He and Skids were my first transformers, received at Christmas.
Such a pretty blue and oh so cool. I still now hold him as a favourite for his design and also his character development over the years.

Cyclonus: such a unique design and not as fiddly as the seekers

I also went Cyclonus with Scourge a close 2nd, as I had both of these as a kid. It wasn't until I was a teenager before I got one of the seekers.

If you asked me this 5 years ago my answer would be Cyclonus. Since then Transformers Prime and IDW have convinced me to side with Starscream.

So your answer for this poll should be Cyclonus, as this poll is looking at who your favourite Decepticon Jet is (or was if your preference has changed) from your childhood. e.g. My favourite Decepticon Jet as a kid was Skywarp, but as an adult it's Thundercracker. So I voted "Skywarp" in the poll.

The thing that bugged me about Cyclonus was how the arms could pop off. I also didn't initially realise that the shoulders could lift up for robot mode. I had him mistransformed in robot mode for several months in 1986 before I worked it out.

I was never allowed Transformer toys as a kid but I always loved/wanted Thundercracker. Love his colours, love the interesting side to is personality.

Only reason I don't have him now is because of my space limitations but maybe one day...

Prime starscream has so much character, he's so well acted too, which made his character seem more real and identifiable (actually most of primes voice acting was spot on IMHO).

In the book, "Transformers: Exodus" he's a badass! everything I thought starscream was supposed to be. But the G1 and prime always portrayed him as a snivelling coward looking for the easy usurp, and I hated him then.

My fav is skywarp, but thundercrackers blue always drew me. Sadly he's the only seeker MP I don't have
