Fireflight/Sky Dive

The problem since G1, the aerialbots are hardly distinguishable besides their leader Silverbolt. Even this Energon mold, I still have trouble recognizing each individual but am able to for the Constructicons. Anyway.

Their alternate mode is a somewhat A-10 fighter. They looks better as a jet than Air Raid and Airazor but other issues causing them look bad. First is the color. Fireflight is okay besides the yellow at the bottom of the wings are terribly miss colored but that I can fix. What went terribly wrong is Skydive’s main color. I didn’t ask for his G1 color but what’s up with that light pink/purple color? Either Energon’s Sky Shadow or Terradive looks way better than this. Next is the wings. They are not laying flat, especially the right wing is noticeably leaning up on both of them. The oversized energon weapons can store on top of the cockpit but I rather not to. The rotatable machine gun at the bottom works okay but kind of loose.

Transformation is fairly easy. While their jet size is bigger than Air Raid and Airazor, their robot height is pretty much the same. Poseability is okay but the look and quality aren’t good. It’s just my taste but the hip and waist are just too thin. But what looks really bad is the hand. Their hands are just molded inside the engine that makes them look like wearing punch gloves. The machine guns on top of the head can now act something like a night vision goggle. They don’t attach tightly on the head so can easily pop off while rotating the heads.

Transformation: 6 – Quite easy even for kids, but the machine gun/goggle won’t stay put on the head.
Fun: 7 – They have better meaningful jet mode and robot mode is good. The pop off machine gun/goggle is quite annoying after some time.
Display: 5 – Only if I can ignore Fireflight’s color, but I can’t. Jet mode will looks better if not that bent wing. Hands in robot mode look really bad. The goggle becomes annoying as well.
Overall: 6 – At least they have better jet mode and the robot mode is poseable and transformation is easy. They just aren’t that good comparing to Air Raid and Airazor.
