I'm still praying someone does do this and posts it. I want to see it for reals

I thought the plan was to buy 4 alpha bravos

Alpha Bravo can be anything.

Wal-Mart couldn't seem to make up their mind as to whether they were in stock or not. I ended up ordering from multiple sites just to be sure I could get one copy of each figure.

That said, and maybe I'm a bit alone on this idea slash concept; but I've been warming towards the idea of Rook and Alpha Bravo being generic drones - this especially helps for me with Sky Reign, where for displays I'd rather not have multiple Hounds, Smokescreens, Trailbreakers and Wheeljacks, but the idea of having Sky Reign instead merge with some generic drones for his combined form helps. Plus it kiiiiiind of harkens back to his original merged form being him and a flat drone thing? Maybe? Sort of? Eh, I just like the idea. Especially when it gives a glorious white-with-accents colour scheme befitting of Sky Lynx.

You could just have sky lynx combine with them anyway, don't see why you would want them to be drones, they are both awesome figures and can be given any personality you want. For example, my alpha bravo is a sniper who stepped in to fill slingshots shoes when he was killed

Vangelus is pretty great, yes.

Personally I kind of like the idea of Rook as a wrecker. Mostly because of his strong body frame and his ridiculous hulk hands of doom. Still... there's something about AB and Rook that seems sort of... droney in vehicle mode; I don't know how to explain it. I'm not saying that they can't have personality or whatever and there's a lot you can attach to them, but personally I kind of like them has Sky Lynx's little drone force. It's a nice compromise to me between his G1 and Combiner self.
