The Autobot Skyfire (who first appears in season one's Transformers: Fire in the Sky (1984)) was based on a Transformers toy named Jetfire, who in turn was a copy of the design of the SDF Macross/Robotech VF-1S Valkyrie jet/robot. Hasbro had bought the rights to produce copies of the Takatoku/Matsushiro/Bandai Valkyrie toy as part of the Transformers line some months before Robotech aired in the US, but the Japanese owners of the Transformers brand, Takara, had no rights to sell the toy in their market, as the Japanese rights belonged to Bandai. As a result, the character's name and design were changed to avoid any legal issues in the Japanese market, and Skyfire was written out of the series after only appearing in a handful of Season 1 episodes. The later seasons avoided all mentions of Skyfire.
