    What I like about these is that, as opposed to Bruticus, the individual components actually look like fun toys.

    looks really good...but for me Aerialbots are jets. I love the idea of the WHOLE TEAM flying in in formation. Hell, for this price I could see getting 2 sets and having one set hanging in formation.

    Ill get the chopper...but Ill just get another jet to replace it on the team. No place for a slow ass chopper on my Aerialbots team.

    I'm positive that SOMEONE will give us a Slingshot.


    If not FunPub, then a 3rd party group.

    I find it amusing that TFW will call a Third party figure by the name of the G1 character it is stealing from, in the headline. But when it's an actual Transformer, that G1 name is buried in the article text.

    I really like this guy. Looks like a nice, fun little figure just in its own right, and combining is just a bonus. While I like and have no problem with Dragstrip's "crying blood" head sculpt, I also can't deny that there's something appealing about the traditional, old-school Scramble City head design this guy is sporting.

    And I don't miss Slingshot at all. He was the most boring member of an already boring combiner team... don't let the door hit you on the way out, buddy.

    Weather or not it's supposed to be/replace Slingshot, It still looks like a pretty solid figure.
    Though to be honest the name "Alpha Bravo" sounds like a rejected Jaeger.

    The feet strongly remind me of Universe Astrotrain. Best part of Superion, by far.

    WoHoo! ... Proof!
    NOT.. STICKERS!!
    YES!

    Dragstrip had me worried there!

    No but seriously, he looks good, and who cares about his lack of mouth, a bunch of bots have face plates! PRIME HELLO! My only grip, Is his lack of paint on the combiner port.. Come on! Make them blend in! I mean could be worse.. PowerCores had allspark blue bits!.. but Why!? Whats the point? Since the plug makes up the whole chest, some paint cant be out of the budget?!
