# Not Macross. A Go-Bot
They then copied the design for a Transformer called Jetfire. I still have mine on a bookshelf across the room.

It's Macross. go-bots aka Machine Robo had nothing like this in their designs unless you just count a jet that changed into a robot as the same thing. Valkyries had jet, gerwalk and battroid modes, the latter we see above. Takara/Hasbro did use the large VF toy as Jetfire but the colours are wrong, especially the engine/missle pods on the back. The original toys are much nicer (and deadlier) as even the giant SDF-1 had multiple launchers of plastic death while the "robotech" version released under Matchbox was a copy of the same toy sans death launchers :(
