I decided that since my comments apply to all of these toys I
might as well just do a "group" review. All of these figures are
excellent updates to the original Aerialbots. Better articulation,
fairly straight-forward transformations and great aesthetics. Of the
originals, I only ever owned Silverbolt but the newer toy is a much
improved version over it, removing the stiffness of the original and
adding a lot of articulation. I do like the addition of Alpha Bravo
to the team--making a helicopter a part of the team adds to the
variety of the aerial team rather then just another fighter jet
(Quickslinger is coming for those G1 purists). I also like the new
combining mechanism, which is spring loaded bits on Silverbolt that
the others "slot" into. I also discovered that the new Superion and
Menasor are the same size as FOC Bruticus which is a nice touch.
Verdict: Excellent. A must
buy for G1 fans!
