This is probably one of my favorite figures from the third wave of deluxes. I have FoC Shockwave and already knew how fun this mold is and the extra weapon possibilities will definitely make it worth it. A friend of mine picked up a case and I bought it from him. Too bad this guy is one per case like Kickback though.

 

Only one from this wave I'm after, now if I could just find one, retail or online...

 

I don't care what anyone says, this guy is totally G1 Rewind imo  

 

Sold! Totally kicks the shit out of Shockwave.

 

Wicked cool!  

 

Paint his eyes blue and faceplate red and then bam all done!

 

Employee 1: Say, I have idea, let's give the people one of the Aerialbots

Employee 2: How about Jetfire?

Employee 3: How about Airraid?

*Employees 1 and 2 agree*

Employee 1: So, I guess we should start drawing up plans for this son of a mother.

Employee 3: Or, because his design is based off a video game and we're passing this off as "Fall of Cybertron", we can retool Shockwave.

Employee 2: C'mon, that idea isn't good.

Employee 1: Bobs right man, that idea is AWESOME!

*Employees 1 and 3 brofist*

Just and other day at Hasbro HQ.

 

I can't get shockwave out of him in my eyes.

I would of preferred the air raid or silverbolt from the game

 

I'm not sure why, but this figure soooo reminds me of Cybertron Sideways! I like this retool and repaint a lot better than Shockwave

 

Every one of these galleries makes me want these guys more, especially him. His weapon is SO cool.

 

it would make a decent Thunderblast, it has the proper breastplate.

 

Except it wasn't really meant to be Air Raid in the first place. Hasbro had it labelled as Fireflight for awhile there. The name change is recent, probably due to copyright issues.

 

This to me really doesn't say Airraid. I think I'm gonna pass on this one unless I can think of a way to change it and make it look more like he did in the 1st game.
