Not only does having Slingshot as a Warthog make more sense because he gets to be a VTOL again, but the rounded gold head looked more like his rounded orange G1 head. Did someone want Fireflight to be the Warthog because his original jet mode was more of a small bomber than a fighter? Skydive got a much better paint job the second time around, but that wasn't nearly enough to get me to double-dip on this set after how hard it was to finish up the Energon one back in the day, even if my Energon Fireflight (Wind-sheer?) came with 2 left forearms (anyone here get one with 2 right arms and wanna' trade?)

I'm betting Seibertron fixed the legs. Mine was still backwards, and as much as I can tell through the packaging, the one I still have MISB is also backwards.

First, let me say that I agree with you. I don't think Hasbro made the right choices on either this or Bruticus. (Blast Off should have been a helicopter and Swindle a tank. But that's for another discussion.) I have to wonder, though. The only Warthogs that I knew as VTOLs were the sort of Warthogs in G.I. Joe in the form of the Cobra Rattler. A-10s have never been VTOL, as far as I know. But I do think you are right that Slingshot would have been better served going from Harrier to Wharthog.
Fireflight was originally an F4 Phantom II, if memory serves. That's not really a bomber. More of a multipurpose fighter. Mach 2 plus, carrier capable; it could carry bombs, but could also act as a fighter/interceptor. Sort of like the F15 and F16 later.Overcracker wrote:Looks like Silverbolt got his knees fixed.

You are quite correct sir, he was a mass release in the UK in ROTF packaging. He was also the first ROTF toy to be found in the UK and can still be found warming shleves to this very day
