And this is why Alpha Bravo was the best Aerialbot!




:-s

Why the face? You're completely right in every respect ;)^


I definitely agree, though I would point out he still has the other problem that almost every flying type figure has had recently with his arms just sitting there on the side. Though the helicopter bots at least cover them with missiles (water rockets for Blades?) so they kind of fit in.

Both iterations of wind blade fit this bill, and I'm surprised neither were on the list. The first I don't regret as much since it was the only version of a new character. That RiD one though.... buyers remorse...


For the Generations Windblade my main problem wasn't the undercarriage, but rather, what was above her-what are blatantly her lower legs, colored in red in comparison to her black colored jet mode.
Collects Bayformers Toys and whatever else I think that looks cool regardless of line
Too poor for 3P or MP lines :D

Hmm. I'm disappointed ROTF_ Leader-Class Jetfire isn't number one. Yet, number one is pretty damned bad all-around. As long as Jetfire's on the list, it's good.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

BAH! AMATEURS!

Here's the TRUE #1.

G1 Mega Pretender Crossblades

The pretender shell is human, with clothes and armor bits:

Image

How can you hide that for the vehicle mode?
Well, you don't. Not even from the side, with hands and boots clearly in-your-face.
Image

And the underside is just the guy, unchanged, hiding his face.
Image

And the super combined mode is total junky madness... Image

The underside manage to be even sadder.
Image

Still Crossblade is a lot of fun in his silliness.

Just for comparison, here's another Mega Pretender. But this one is incredible.
THUNDERWING:
Image

Being in the same class and generation/line as Crossblade, Tunderwing manage to hide almost everything of his "bot mode".
Image

Even from under, the only bit you see are the arms. incredible. :shock:

Image
Come see my latest creation, the COMPLETE combiner team, Scorponok and his Pretenders, forming SHELLSHOCK
