I like him also. He really has a Swoop vibe to him imo. The thin build, head crest and shoulder wings all scream Swoop.

Damn repaints :(


Darksteel's awesome actually. Its like sideswipe on steroids. :lol:


I only saw the figure once, at a Target in December. They were having a huge sale on deluxes so i snagged one for my wife. She loves Transformers with unusual colors.

I think air raid is good there was so much hate for him when he first came out but once i had him in hand the negativity droped

hes actually not a bad bot even the mace hand isnt a problem for me.

I like him, but leaning more towards displaying him with my cyberverse / legends as he would be bigger then a lot of the other TF's realistically.
New pics added as I find time.

Okay so based on all the good things posted so far I just saw a video review a second time around and I still think this figure is lame. C'mon just one hand and that crappy gimmick for the other?? But this type of situation always happens when a figure comes along and is shot down by most and favored by few. Example...DOTM HA Reverb I think is a really cool figure and a awesome looking head. He's got a really neat transformation and unlike most who don't like the alt mode, I really dig it. ;)^ :VEHI:

I think Reverb is really cool also, although his alt mode is kinda meh.

I think what draws me to Air Raid is that he looks very G1. Compare him to most of your movie toys and he looks skinny and not all that impressive. Put him next to some G1 toys though and he sorta fits. He's got goofy proportions and a big weird weapon thing going on. He's very gee-wunny. Well, to me anyway.

I agree. I would not have made the design choice to fuse his flail to his hand, but it doesn't ruin the figure for me

If Shockwave can get away with having a gun for a hand, I think it's unfair to attack Air Raid for his flail (which can fold up into an approximate hand, anyways).

Air Raid has a certain Prime look to him, though I group him with Springer and the Sky Shadow-themed Powerglide (mostly because they're all green Autobot aircraft and roughly in-scale with each other):
Image
Fun Fact: In real scale Springer and Powerglide would both be around 45 feet tall, while Air Raid would be around 95.


Hope we get more "themed" bots. Love guys gladiator Air Raid, samurai Bludgeon, WWII aviator Highbrow, etc..

I thought the same thing too, after only having seen him shelfwarming and a few pictures on the wiki. But I subscribe to Peaugh and lo and behold one day he did a review of the weird green gladiator fellow. Now I'm inclined to pick him up if I ever see him again.

Yeah but c'mon SW's cannon looks way better than this! Which makes perfect sense considering that's what most of his past alt modes represent. This poor figure suffered in the engineering process for that gimmick! I really don't know why Takomy chose this but even the Japanese version of Air Raid which is just another repaint (with a cool gatling gun mounted) is waaaay better looking than this Air Raid. I just feel Hasbro could'a done better but it's always a hit and miss with them. :VEHI:
