Double Amen.
I prefer Alpha Bravo and Offroad to all the other Stunticon/Aerialbot Deluxes.
I can't comment on Rook though as I don't have him.

Also; FREAKIN' DEMOLISHER!!
No need to be harsh on him, as he's not saying no to new characters AND he's advocating teams like Victorion.
His first post is for new characters, and his second post is for not being part of existing teams because people were upset about it replacing an existing member.
That fits both of your points, including the criteria for Victorion, who is all new characters that aren't in a team of existing members.
And please avoid ganging up on newer members people, as the last few posts have all jumped on the bandwagon and would feel like bullying to a new member who may not be as versed in all things Transformers as those doing the recent postings.
You're right, I was overly harsh, and I apologise. I only wanted to point out that there are reasons why we don't get all new teams all the time and that the new members are worthy additions to their respective teams. I should have left it at that and not attacked him for perceived Geewunism, and for that I'm sorry.
Sorry Keidatron, and fwiw at this point welcome to Ozformers.
Demolisher was my very first Armada toy and I seriously loved his alt-mode so got a bit of a soft spot for the maniac and hope he gets the Generations treatment, although I would like to see him get a proper toy resembling his old alt-mode rather than just a reconfiguration of Onslaught.
Not remotely taking sides or trying to kick off a debate, but in regards to the discussion about new characters, I think this is one of the few cases where you CAN please everyone. If you are a stickler to the old rosters, both Hasbro and Tak/Tom have brought out the Stunticons & Aerialbots with their original 5 members and you can stick to that. If you like change then there are two new bots for each group (Alpha Bravo & Powerglide, Off Road & Blackjack) and you can make your team rosters bigger. Everyone no matter their predaliction wins! :)
My personal prediliction is that I like the team rosters expanded. The X-Men started with only 5 warriors and there have been hundreds of the buggers now :p! I reckon a couple of extra new members for teams after 30 years is fine. I may have felt somewhat different if Slingshot/Quickslinger and Wildrider/Brake-Neck had not been available at all.
