Superion is not complete. 4 down, 1 more to go. Alpha Bravo doesnt count. He goes in the padded cell for impersonating an Aerialbot.

Looks like his forearms too.
Man! He looks cool. That head sculpt is great.

Planes and whirlybirds are like the bloods and crips, they just shouldn't mix.

Uh, why doesn't a helicopter belong among the Aerialbots? They're the Aerialbots, not the Jeticons! Anything that flies makes sense.

Because the Aerialbots have an established history of being jets. There was never a member named Alpha Bravo. At least before IDW showed up. I don't like the change. Plus, how the hell does a helicopter keep up with three fighter jets and a Concorde?

Also, I'm a bit of a geewunner at heart.

Alpha Bravo is an Aerialbot, and he definitely counts. He's just not the one you want. If it bothers you that much then buy the Takara version with the Firefly redeco.

Or at the very least wait for the Hasbro Slingshot rumor to ring true,

He's the big rig that carries all those stunt cars tho the next stunt show

Don't be a jerk to Alpha Bravo. Just because he is a helicopter doesn't mean he can't be an Aerialbot. And besides, he is a really good figure. In fact (I can't judge Air Raid yet until I own him), Bravo is actually my favorite figure from the line so far.

MP? Me too.

Been my plan all along.

Of course there may be that instance were Shockwave zaps 'em with a Giganto Ray so they can go toe to toe with Superion and the likes. Who knows what adventure lays ahead?
(I liketh to play wif my toys)

I am finding that "waiting" on certain Transformers is a bad idea... Which I waited to get MP Starscream & Thundercracker (I had seen them at Walmart too!!) Now I am kicking myself as they go for any where from $140-$200+

I do plan on using TC as a "in between" while I wait to get MP TC...

Good news, the MP Starscream is being reissued by TRU later this year, so you might be able to get him for cheaper.

I will be doing exactly that. The Aerialbots are Silverbolt, Skydive, Air Raid, Fireflight, and Slingshot. Alpha Bravo would go well in place of Blades for Defensor, but not with a group of jets. Makes no sense.

Makes more sense than a large delivery tractor trailer being part of a group called the "Stunticons". Or two non-predatory herbivores (a buffalo and a rhino) being part of a group called the "Predacons". At least a helicopter is still aerial.

But nowhere near with the capabilities of a jet. So makes NO SENSE. I do agree about the Predacons and perhaps even Motormaster. Yeah, he has about as much to do with stunt vehicles as a helicopter does with jets. I always thought a monster truck alternate mode for Motormaster made more sense, both purpose (stunt) and scale wise.

You might be joking, but thats an awesome and fun explanation.
