He says he doesn't.

It's clearly denial.

I dont. I really really don't. It's just annoying.

He's just doing it for attention and you are indulging him. You should treat him like they did dogs back in the old days, a quick thwack on the nose with a newspaper and kick him out of the room.

(Is it a good time to tell everyone that I actually have no attachment to Alpha Bravo, and it was all just for the fun of basing a fandom cult of one person on a fictional character that had no story but one panel in one comic? Anyone familiar with Poe's law?)

Pft, I have no regrets, because I was drinking the magic kool-aid for my own means. Alpha Bravo is, and always will be the protagonist of a bioshock-y version of the transformers mythos in my headcanon, that's why he has no character.

We should do this again. I mean, Rook has as much of a wonderfully rich backstory as Alpha Bravo.

Perfect. All the backstory those other characters got was really slogging down the story.

I mean, who needs motive when you have robots?

that is that A&E historical show with Edgar Allan Poe as a tough-as-nails break-all-the-rules detective in 1800's Baltimore...right?

What if Alpha Bravo is Slingshot? :-?

In all seriousness though seems people are mostly just annoyed he is a helicopter because as we see with the Stunticons Offroad does not get this hate.

His colouring is done in a way that pays homage to Slingshot even his build compared to his team members matches Slingshot's original toy. Take a look and you will see that the original Slingshot didn't have the broad shoulders look in the toy's robot mode unlike the other Aerialbots due to his transformation differing slightly. Bravo is still the slowest vehicle on the team like Slingshot but also capable of vertical landing and take off and as I always though such abilities made Slingshot the most manoeuvrable Alpha's mode ticks this box as well.

One of the things I love about the fandom is that we tend to repurpose figures to suit our collection from simply changing its name to body modification. So unless I get a Slingshot I'm quite happy with possibly repurposing Alpha as Slingshot.
