Idk Bruticus just appeals to me more than Defensor, but that's probably because I think Combat vehicles are more appealing and badass than emergency vehicles. (Except for Rook, who is basically a combat vehicle in Protectobot colors.)

While I prefer Blast Off as a shuttle myself, I feel I must interject, and point out that NASA is a civilian branch of the government. Yes, many of their pilots may come from the military, making things a bit murky there. But NASA itself is a civilian organization.

OMG THAT'S HILARIOUS! XD

But what does this have to do with Combiner Wars?

I'll tell you:

EVERY GODDAMN THING

Or is that what they want us to believe? dun, Dun, DUN!

Since your on about space shuttles....what do you think of the new Sky Lynx then?

(And he's not a retool of Silverbolt... )

I only don't like him as a space shuttle because it never made sense to me amongst all the vehicles picked as alt modes. I mean, an AA truck? Tough as nails, long range cannons, armored. Army jeep/hummer? Rugged, armored, almost immortal (if it's a jeep), durable, fast. Combat helicopter? Fast, loaded with weapons, armored, maneuverable. Tank? It's a tank, it's inherently badass and freaking invincible. Space Shuttle? Extremely delicate controls, runs risk of not working, NOT built for combat, doesn't carry weapons, fast in a straight line, not very tough against unnatural factors.

I don't know, and I'm not trying to start a argument, I'm just saying that a space shuttle amongst the other vehicles that the Combaticons have chosen doesn't make much sense. I mean you got long range combat (Onslaught), durable and fast scout (Swindle), unstoppable armored cannon (Brawl), fast and agile killing machine (Vortex), and high altitude/space vehicle which in real life could not likely be used in a violent situation (Blast Off). Having him as jet frankly makes this set perfect in my opinion.
