For Fireflight, just use an Energon Windrazor.
Then I did Energon Skyshadow for Air Raid.
Skydive was the one I cobbled together from Universe Skydive & Fireflight.
I was able to parts swap with what I had and make him all grey.
If you used the wings from a second E. Skyshadow, it would be even better, but I didn't have one available.

I mean, scale was often mucked up in the cartoon to the extent that while each individual limb of a combiner was in gestalt mode if they were to be in robot mode would have towered over Megatron/Optimus by several feet. Yet, when they were actually in robot mode they were several feet shorter or at least equal in height to bots like Scourge/Cyclonus/Springer/Kup/etc.
I understand the idea that giant combiners should be rather... well... giant. Yet, when comparing what we see in the show to the figures we get in hand I think a little bit of realism is called for, as ridiculous as that may sound.

The part you are leaving out is the fact that size-alteration was always a big part of the TF universe where you kind of had to suspend disbelief to let the show "flow"...
From Soundwave's tape minions (Lazerbeak sitting on Braun's shoulder in tape form, but then Braun being able to ride him in bird mode), to Soundwave himself shrinking. Then there was Megatron, who changed from one of the largest 'Cons to a weapon Starscream could wield, and Astrotrain, being rather small when in bot form, but allowing over a dozen 'Cons to ride inside him when he switched to shuttle mode.
So yeah, the individual team bots being kind of small and then growing to be huge in Gestalt mode is kind of a stretch, but actually fits with the rest of the size issues...could it have been done better in the show? Sure, but with so many different examples of size alteration, I guess they figured one or two more would slip beneath notice.

- G1 cartoon/comics - impossible to match due to bot size/vehicle size/gestalt size inconsistencies (mass shifting, just like Soundwave)
- G1 toy - ridiculous and pointless, just put a G1 Constructicon next to G1 Optimus Prime and you'll see what I mean instantly, the toys were never in scale
- The real world - if this is what you're looking for, then Constructicons and Aerialbots need to be bigger than Stunticons (even moreso than the existing difference between Herc and FP's combiners/Energon combiners)

I'm seeking a happy medium between options 1 and 3. To me, -that- is ideal.
