That being said, the name doesn't exactly make sense any longer, and it would've been really nice to have gotten vtol wings with missles (especially since the guy said a vtol jet during the presentation) so between all of that and no new head (especially since blstoffs head is so counter to quickslingers) it is starting to feel a tad lazy.
Well technically, he's a Harrier jump-jet, so he IS vtol capable.

I do think you're right about the headsculpt. First Aid's head might have made a better choice:
Wasn't saying he wasn't vtol capable, but there's a certain disconnect between saying it is vtol capable and seeing the fans on the wings; and maybe that wouldn't be 'realistic' but the variety would have been appreciated.
