Pete Sinclair stated at the BotCon 2016 retrospective panel that the two toys he most regretted not being able to produce were a redeco of Thrilling 30 Springer into Shattered Glass Rodimus Prime and a redeco of Thrilling 30 Armada Starscream into Beast Machines Jetstorm (employing a retooled head and legs). [3] The latter concept was eventually illustrated in art for the Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of Jetstorm, as can be seen above. Close to the two fronts we see focused streams of air called conveyor belts, which run up into the atmosphere. Sting jets were only officially recognised after the Great Storm of 1987 (which impacted the UK)- where wind speeds reached 115mph - and have only happened a handful of times since. A sting jet is a small area of very intense winds (often 100mph or more) that can sometimes form inpowerful weather systems crossing the UK.Relative to the size of thestorm, the sting jet is narrow, often 30 miles across, and only lasts 3 to 4 hours. Yellow warnings are usually issued when bad weather is due but the impact on daily life will be relatively small.

This mold was redecoed into the BotCon 2002 exclusive Cyclonus. It was also planned for a Universe redeco of unknown name (see below). While mainstream news outlets – which often use Big Jet TV’s clips – try to contextualise the storm and offer coverage from across the country, Dyer maintains his livestreaming for hours: “Oh, they’ve got a big one coming, oh it’s a freighter. Oh mate, I can hear that coming over the bushes. That was crazy, man.” The film was released in 1959; the only passenger jet aircraft flying for most of the previous three years had been the Tu104. Both the Boeing 707 and the DH Comet IV had been flying transatlantic since October 1958, but portraying either type in a disaster movie would have been a political hot potato; effectively the US and UK aircraft industries were busy duking it out for the long haul jet aircraft market. Choosing the Tu104 to represent a fictional type flying the equally fictional 'Atlantic Queen' service was a neat way out of any controversy that might so be caused. Cold conveyors bring snow and rain, which evaporate and speed up the stream of cold air falling into the storm even more. They are rare and were only formally recognised when one occurred during the Great Storm of October 1987 - when wind speeds reached 115mph and millions of trees were brought down.Jetstorm is in actuality a programmed shell personality given life by the spark of the Maximal Silverbolt.

As one wobbling Air Algiers flight approached the Heathrow runway on Friday morning, Dyer shouted over the wind and made predictions about whether the aircraft would have to abandon its approach and make a “go-around”.A significant part of Big Jet TV’s appeal is its founder and host, Jerry Dyer, who has built up a cult audience online for his unfiltered excitable commentary. Watching the channel is the transport equivalent of tuning into Sky Sports’ longrunning Soccer Saturday programme – except rather than having a retired footballer enthusiastically reporting a goal, viewers are treated to Dyer screeching with delight when a pilot pulls off a challenging landing.
