Air Raid

Transformers 2007 - One of my favorite characters in the Transformers universe. He is one of the aerial bot that form Superion (yes, I got this blog name from one of my favorite toy when I was a kid). He is a bit bigger than his G1 counterpart and got quite a cool look into it. Unluckily he cannot combine with other aerial bot to form Superion. With a cool green camouflage paint and sharing the same mold as Energon Skyblast.

Bio

Air Raid is a flier. Even so, he was sent to take care of the water-borne Decepticon Storm Surge, who was put in charge by Megatron himself.

Vehicle Mode (Non Power-Up Mode)

As you can see, the non power-up mode is very simple and yet it is still very attractive. It looks like a normal jet with an attitude.

Vehicle Mode (Power-Up Mode)

Now, the power-up mode is something out of the Macross universe. It reminds me of the Macross Alto VF-25 Tornado Pack. The size of the jet plane is identical to the Power Core Combiners 2-Pack Commander.

Transformation Mode

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to transform into robot mode. The transformation is a breeze. The most exciting parts during the transformation is the chest part. You have to rotate it and the head/cockpit will also rotate. The long caliber gun and the side rocket can combine into a very powerful sword. It look like more of a spear than a sword to me. So beautifully crafted and nicely addition to the weaponry even for a small soldier like Air Raid. He is one very brave and strong Autobot officer.
