Okay...

- Unofficially glad that the "Air Raid" name is confirmed. Like I said before, I did not care. But it is nice to see a officially finalized name to any character.

- Officially, extremely glad to see an actual new image of Fortress Maximus. I pre-ordered mine the minute it was put up for sale on TFsource... And I hope that this confirmation will mean that Toy Hobby Market will consider a Grand Maximus exclusive reissue.

- I am curious to why we have not heard anything about GT-R Maximus. I am borderline on the figure and line on account that I am currently focusing on pieces dating from the 1985-1988 Takara era. However, I do like the team he represents, so we shall see.

Air Raid? Could've swore that was FOC Banzaitron. *sarcasm*

I may not be into overpriced Japanese Transformers, but man, does that Air Vehicon is SEXY and CLASSY in white!
That's one I might get.

All it needs is a nice chrome top hat. You know what I mean?

Don't give them ideas. They might redeco this piece into "Shattered Glass" Banzai-Tron.

I really like the colors on that TT Air Raid a lot more than the Hasbro version. In fact, I think I like it enough to buy the fig despite not being a fan of the character...not that this fig even remotely resembles the Aerialbot from the G1 cartoons or the WFC/FoC games.

Fortress. My body is ready.

[Pretender Skywarp]

Fortress is already pre-ordered with Kapow, that one was a no-brainer...

Vehicon General? Like it; not sure it was necessary, but I like it. As for a 3rd AM Megs, really? The completionist in me says buy him, but my wallet and storage space scream for mercy!

Hell yes I know what you mean!
I might customise him one in time! Too bad Jet Vehicon's vehicle mode is not based on a flying Rolls Royce, but it will do.
