It;s the exact same, the vehicle is just reversed. the only difference would be how the backpack is dealt with. And the torso has onslaughts arms rotate up so the wheels face upwards.

The Backpack is exactly what I was referring to. I can't tell if it just unfolds sideways, or hinges up and changes configuration.

Are we considering Sky Dive and Air Raid to be the same mold? They have different shoulder transformations. Air Raid is closer to Firefly in that both just pull their arms out. Sky Dive has this rotating shoulder mechanic.

You know, I thought the same thing when I got them all at once with UW 01 Superion. Skydive, Firefly and Air Raid felt as different/same from one another. They all transformed in a similar way with the head, arms, legs and cockpit, but all had small mold differences. For me, the engineering is the same on all G1 Aerialbots and 3 of them have different molds. That is how I see it.

I think that would result in more anger than praise from the fans. Ask anyone how they feel about movie designs. So this would be repaint/retools as movie designs. I don't think Hasbro wants to fear for their lives.

Air Raid and Skydive are reshells of eachother, although they share very few parts. The most notable parts are the lower legs which match in detailing, and they share the same weapon.

As for everyone moaning about the repaints and retools... that's what Scramble City and this series are about, reusing similar molds so you can mix them up. I have no complaints about that.

If the point of Scramble City is to mix and match molds, then wouldnt it go against the principle to keep releasing the same molds? Optimus Maximus and Menasor use the exact same molds with no retooling on the limbs in limb mode.

Well it took optimus 4 waves to get 'his' limbs, so it is possible, plus isn't this not actually scattershot?
I was a little confused but some of the better informed users have said that this isn't... something to do with computron, so I don't know (please help )
