    In the Gokiverse, Alpha Bravo and Offroad will become the "Nautilator" of their respective teams. #aquaman #greenarrow #sparetyre

    I would think it was a bit of a 'not in disguise' giveaway to see a helicopter keeping formation with jets :-) regardless of the method of propulsion.

    yea, but if everyone is just as fast as each other it gets boring, I prefer to think that characters pick earth modes that suit their capabilities, or at least reflect them.

    AB's rotors are made of special Cybertronian metals that creates reverberations that allows him to somehow move as fast as a jet.

    HaHa, the day there is a metal/solid material that doesn't fatigue harden and fracture/fail with vibration, is the day physics stops

    Unfortunately my brain wont accept assumptions like that, for sub-sonic ballistic trajectories like a golf ball, minor turbulence produced by the dimples actually reduces the drag on the ball by allowing the boundary layer to travel further around the ball before producing a low pressure turbulent flow behind the ball.



    for pretty much any other type of flight turbulence is a bad thing reducing efficiency by either reducing lift and/or creating drag. Any vibration will lead to turbulence, which is earth science.

    but again, I'm a dork about this stuff, please excuse my reality check and go back to enjoying the fantastic wonder that is transformers.

    I completely made it up, it's not true at all. It's just fictional science/physics

    I'm happy with AB (don't have Offroad - yet), but intend to grab these two. I'm a sucker for "new" G1 characters. Crosscut etc were welcome for me, as will AB etc. And as griffin said, they're good toys in their own right anyway.

    $26 each plus shipping isn't too great. I hope they reach retail.

    With shipping it came to $84 AUD. At that point I cancelled the order.
