Transformers Movie Air Raid Target Exclusive Scout 2007 Review

Air Raid Target Scout Review




Vehicle Mode:
Pretty sweet-looking Marine-style jet if you ask me. Looks like he’s ready to roam the jungle and battle the intercepting Dreadwing. Not sure why he has jungle-camo if he can’t even fly low enough. Alt mode is filled with lots of jungle green (obviously), some black on the cockpit/pixels, some yellowish brown pixels, gray on his cannons/thrusters/vents, and some red accents on each wing. There are two Autobot emblems; one on each wing as well as a new Sector-7 logo smack dabbed in the middle of his alt mode. A well deserved A for vehicle mode.









Robot Mode:
More gray than expected. His arms, legs, and feet are comprised with gray as well as his robot mode face. Red eyes on an Autobot is definitely strange. But it looks very intimidating. His robot mode head reminds me of Megatron for some odd reason.

Moving on. There is mostly forest green on the shell of his robot mode head, arm-wings, chest, and lower legs. Once again, there are two Autobot emblems visible on his arm-wings as well as the Sector-7 logo on his lower abdomen. Not as attractive-looking as the alt mode. This mode receives a B- from me.









Transformation:
It has the same transformation as the Energon and Movie Skyblast.

Automorph:
Energon characters have Automorph?! I know it’s true though. It’s very simple. But to work his automorph technology, just turn the knob-like thing on the upper part of the jet after you have moved all the pieces out of the way. The face then turns inward for robot mode while the cockpit is folded off in the back.

Weapons:
He comes with an Energon sword and an Energon crystal that snaps into his chest. Both repainted black. Nothing new I know. Wonder why they still included it? O well more weapons.



Overall:
This is a pretty nice figure. The digital camouflage is very nice. It’s not the best but it could be a lot worse. I, personally, like it. I like Air Raid from G2 but this figure just personifies him as an actual movie character. Instead of calling him Skyblast 2, Hasbro decided to make him a whole different character (which is better). I know it’s just a redeco Energon/Movie Skyblast figure but the camo made it look all that better. This little guy earns an 8.5/10 for me. I definitely recommend him if you’re a completist. Even if you’re not, give the guy a chance anyway if you don’t like him that is. Recommended!!

Cool, thanks for sharing! Did you actually find this at Target already (if so, that would be news), or was it an eBay special?

Any chance of a larger pic of the bio?

Skyblast was always one of my favorite Energon molds. Too bad I'm such a sucker for repaints...... :-P

Very nice, thanks for the pics and thoughts. I think this is the first detailed look we've had at him so I've frontpaged this. Too bad the Autobot logos got painted ovr and not remolded out altogether - then again, it's also too bad these guys didn't get the new weapons originally planned.

I never got the E-Skyblast version. I'll probably pick this guy and Skyblast up just to bolster the Bot army. Glad to see he's out and about.

AHH! I KNEW there was a repaint of Arcee as Elita 1! I thought I saw it once at a Target but blew it off - after reading the new Timelines comic (which actually has Elita 1 repainted on Galaxy Force Chromia's mold) I went back to look for it but it wasn't there. Then, when I did an internet search, I found nothing on it.

Even though I already have Energon Arcee, I'll get Elita 1 since it's the first real toy of her.
