    The front page listing might want to be fixed. It keeps saying Air Raid instead of Sky Dive.

    Why in the hell would anyone do that? This is Alpha Bravo, Aerialbot and limb of Superion. Coloring him as Vortex would be dumb and irrelevant.

    Why didn't Hasbro do any remolding on Vortex?

    Wellllll, they do look exactly the same... I just thought Vortex in AB's pose might look cool, that's all.

    This. Kind of wished they had remolded the arms of all the Copter bots, at least... it'd go a long way. Vortex is the only one where the Missile arms is warranted. Blades and/or Alpha Bravo having normal skis would work. (Blades being fitting as they practically looked weaponize in some artistic depictions, too.) Least the Victorion twins had the missiles removed.

    This. I'm actually surprised Perfect Effect haven't tried making replacement forearms for Blades.

    At the very least Blades should have gotten some landing skis that attached underneath his helicopter mode. I don't think helicopters are supposed to have the landing skids on the side pontoon thingies. If anyone can provide a pic of an actual helicopter that does this, I/we would know for sure.

    Blades has been a psycho daredevil since 1986. Missiles are perfectly warranted there.

    I don't think skis go beneath the pontoons, either, but I'm okay with no skis only if we got missile-less forearms like the Victorion bots.

    My bot Alpha Bravo is looking good here. Probably better than if he were colored, even. Although I would like to see what these would look like colored in a more animation style coloring. These are the poses from their boxes and cards, right?

    Shapeways. That's what I'm eventually going to do with my Blades.

    I'm here to show Alpha Bravo some love, the Aerialbot whom nobody wanted but was loved in the end.
