He's a Dinobot Bombardier, and his mace kind of looks like a bomb, no? The mace has holes that his feet plug into.

Speaking of the mace, did you know it has an aborted gimmick? Flame were supposed to slide out upon pushing in the chain, but you know, kids and their swallowing habits...

It can be modded into working again. I'm to scared to try it though as it requires cutting the orange bit on the inside of the flail.

Damn it! Now I have to dig him out of whatever box he's in to look at this

@TK415, welcome aboard and I like your Air Raid in Swoop mode.

However, I really want a jet mode for him who will soon become. So I came up with this. Nothing wrong with the original alt mode but just want to have some creativities.

Despite some changes in how it transforms, FOC Soundwave can still do an unofficial boom box mode like WFC Soundwave could



Sorry for the bad pic, only camera I have is a 3DS.

Nice picture, man, the angle and color look good. I like how you set up your Air Raid. The placement of the blade looks good, I have to try that. I had to tape the sword together, it was missing some plastic and wouldn't stay on.

I was real excited to see a Cybertronian Swoop, but using a sword as his head makes his head too thin. And then in robot mode, he doesn't feel like Swoop without the iconic Pteranodon head as his chest. So after a week or so, I too changed him into a jet mode (pics below, I don't have a flickr account yet so attachments are the best I can do right now). I prefer a pointy nose cone but I do like the overall look of him. It is kind of like g1 Scattershot, or kind of like a Warthog plane.

He won't be my classics Swoop. I'm not convinced he is Air Raid, or Fireflight either. I'm still trying to figure out who he is.


Who ever he is, I really like him.

The nose of the jet looks sufficiently animalistic that I'm wondering if an older character with an animal mode might fit the bill.

I'm getting flashes of Snarler, Skullcruncher, Terrorsaur, Cutthroat, maybe Cryotek.

Honestly, though? Wingthing. Or Snapdragon.

Don't know if this has been done before.
