What's funny is I had the Robotech Fighter as a kid and kept it ( still have it in a box someplace ) and it is identical to the transformers except decals basically.
Transforms exactly the same. Was this the first use of China/Taiwan cross breeding identical products with different names that now happens with well, everything?

it all has to do w/ transformers(hasbro) becoming a mega hit and since cartoons don't make money, only toys do, they had to get many new toys ASAP
like g1 tranformers (first year) it was good guys autobots (cars) vs. bad decepticons (planes)
so they just grabbed whatever they could from japan and one of em was, "hey bandai, that valkrye, yea let's license him and we'll call him jetfire"
notice, that was the real macross/robotech valkrye, not this "oops, harmony gold (macross american owners) are gonna copystrike us, lets make this abomination"
the one i had was this one, the original tv version
i think it had more accessories, like the cheap clip on missles for the wing, and you can remove one of the rocket things and attach a dual cannon.
