    Alpha Bravo

    Seems like they were headed for Slingshot with the white body, orange bald-like head etc and then went "Oh bollocks, we don't have the name rights anymore and the Geewuners will have a hissy fit!" so they retooled it into a helicopter and and gave him a faceplate and new name.

    I like this figure, but not as much as the other combiner wars toys I have opened - maybe as I have no sentimental attachment to the character. I also have trouble getting the flap that holds his copter blades to sit flush with the roof in his Helicopter mode. But overall not bad.

    Apart from the lack of landing struts, this is actually my favourite of the Dlx Aerialbots so far, probably because of how streamlined the alt-mode is in comparison to Skydive and Firefly. Sure the arms just hang out the side, but they're covered in missiles, so that can be forgiven.

    The Astrotrain like feet/cockpit gives me hope for Blast Off

    Hopefully, if this is retooled into Blades, they remould his arms to have landing struts...

    Just got mine today. OMG what a looooong Helicopter he is. Wow. Robot mode is pretty nice though, good amount of posability on the little guy and he has a super cool gun! I do wish there was a better way to store his helicopter blades in robot mode. His big feet do give him fantastic balance though.

    A fun robot mode with an odd looking vehicle mode. No sad I bought it
