Thanks to a post on T.F.N.D, we have our first in-hand look at the much anticipated Combiner Wars Air Raid! Air Raid is set to be released as part of the second wave of Combiner Wars deluxe class figures and also restarts the comic book pack ins we’ve seen in past Generations releases. Make the jump to see some of the key photos from the gallery!

And barring a few, most of those that are critical make mistakes themselves.
On topic: A complete Superion looks stunningly fantastic.

I wish there was something that could be done about the "robot hanging off the bottom of the plane" look, but that was a problem with the originals too.
Sucks that I'm dead broke right now.

That's what I'm saying—Hasbro did it right, but a ton of people think it's wrong.

to me, if silverbolt where white, it would look wrong. They did it right if you ask me. Looking at completed combined mode, the colors are great.

I thought that but if Air Raid has the white gun and a black hand then Slingshot could too.
I'm looking forward to pictures of Air Raid in leg mode in G1 configuration (Cockpits behind the knee) as thats how I want to display my Superion.

It'll probably be black as it seems tied to the hand / foot accessory. Unless he doesn't end up with a black hand / foot accessory.

This guy looks so great. It's making me restless to complete Superion. I like the jet specifically.

Just the gun, shins, tail wings and thighs are shared, Air Raid isn't a repaint, everything else is new parts unique to him.

ERMAGERD, AER REID! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Sorry for the furious nerdgasm, Air Raid is one of my inexplicably favorite Autobots of all time. HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
LegendAntihero
Yay! Now I can complete Superion! Air Raid looks great!

Everyone is a professor in English on the forums. Good job sport
Autovolt 127
Yeah. Thankfully this will be a thing of the past.
Air Raid looks really great.

This is all I can think of when I see that alt mode group shot.

To this day, most people refuse to believe that G1 Silverbolt and the combiner kibble were off-white. (Despite numerous photos of pure-white Fireflight wings being adjacent)
ArmadaSentinel
Im loving that brilliant white but it's annoying that none of the aerialbots match on colours. Hopefully Slingshot will at least match Firefly's white so that they will look good as arms together. I also hope he'll have a white gun like the takara one.
Angelwave
Cannot wait. I have been holding off opening up my Aerialbots until I had all of them (well most of them anyways -Slingshot).
Chaos Incarnate
Silverbolt comes pre-yellowed.
Edgewise
Hence the appropriate expression is: "I couldn't care less"

I hope they make a lot of him, otherwise he's gonna be the hardest one to get.

Yup: if you look at pictures of robot and combined modes you can see the 5mm peg holes under the wings:
