Is there a squardron of transformers that transform into heliocopters, military or not?

[decepticonjon]

the decepticons have the combaticons who in turn have vortex..
there is also spinister

[Nujevad]

What do you mean by squadron? Can't you just mix and match several helicopters together or does it have to be from the same series?

[Overcracker]

squadron?, as in a group that all transform into helicopters?

Then no.., There are a lot of helicopter tf's but they are all solo helicopters. They aren't a part of a chopper group.

Although if you put them all together, you could call them the Chopper Squadron if you wanted.

[Nujevad]

There's Energon Bruticus, two of his parts become helicopters but they're identical, except for their colors.

[SnapTrap]

THere's also Armada Cyclonus and all of his repaints/remolds
Energon Quickstrike and Bulkhead
Cybertron Evac & Jolt

[Overcracker]

But they aren't really a Squadron.

I think he is asking if there has ever been a group of TF's. Like the Aerialbots, or the Dinobots, or the Insecticons, that are a sub group of Tf's and all Transform into the same type of thing. In this case Helicopters.

Yes there are a lot of TF's that transform into helicopters, but as far as i know there is no one group of that type.

The Chopperbots if you will, or the Helibots. or The Coptertrons. you get the idea.

Hah, Coptertrons, I like the sound of those. I think we might need someone to draw us Coptertron. He would be one bad ass Gestalt, what with spinning blades EVERYWHERE.

[Valandar]

You mean like this?

[Bonger]

Hah, yes but more blades! What is that?

[Valandar]

It's a combiner from Machine Robo Rescue, the modern version of the toyline that gave us the Gobots. IIRC, the "torso" bot is a piloted mecha, and the four identical limb bots are just drones.

There's a knockoff of it sometimes available at Big Lots, but I do NOT reccomend it - the plastic is without a doubt the CHEAPEST I have seen, and it fragments if you just try to even pick it up.

[Bonger]

Aww, thats too bad. I was thinking kitbash of Coptertron!

[Autobot032]

Hah, yes but more blades! What is that?

Machine Robo Rescue team Gyro Robo.

[Overcracker]

Yeah, i got a set of those. One of the main robot's legs snapped off the first time I combined them. They just have such incredibly cheap plastic its ridiculous.

Still the combined robot doesn't look too bad, maybe a little slim.


You could create your own "Coptertron", minus the cetral figure, if you get four helicopter Energon limbs and plug them into any one center. I Think maybe Superion Maximus center would work to keep with the flying vehicle theme.

*cough* Obsidian drones? Beast Machines?
