Hasbro's Mark Maher @markclonus jets in with a new behind the scenes for the Transformers Age Of The Primes Deluxe Air Raid Aerialbot figure.
Get into the cockpit of the newest Superion team member who is said to be the descendant of Amalgamous Prime. Read on for the details from the drawing board that made this bot in the official design notes and images that follow.
Get ready to add another member to your aerialbot team my people, Autobot Air Raid zoooomin into your collection.
Some say this guys reckless demeanor is somewhat shifty, but there’s no doubt about this warriors courageous spirit, he’s always ready to answer commander Silverbolt’s call. He is the descendant of Amalgamous Prime (sidenote: Amalgamous came out fantastic and I cant wait to show him and the other primes off!😎)
Hats off to Hasui san on all of these aerialbots, his passion, dedication and hardwork is amazing, they all came out phenomenal!
Ditalydeets pwease! 🤓 2 blast effect compatible blasters, tailwings are on a 5 mm post to give some extra abilities, back engines are blast effect compatible, articulation is solid, he does have fold out front landing gear, animation accurate deco schematics, pretty darn sweet head sculpt not to mention some solid style reminiscent of the f15 eagle 🦅. Forms Superion’s left leg and transformation sequence is like a fine wine that tickles your tummy and makes you feel 🥰 warm and fuzzy.
I hope you enjoy the pics of this handsome dude, an autobot jet black jet hits just right, had some fun with these. Much needed fun might I add, this winter is killing me, feeling like bayverse megs 🥶. Slingshot up next!
This figure will begin shipping in May 2025. Order while they last at the following sponsored links:
Really wish those leg bots sat further into the lower legs more so that only the jet parts are shown behind the legs. Since you have to fold the jet bits onto the tops of the jets and then that entire chunk gets plugged in, it make the lower legs look really stupid. Menasor doesn't have that problem since the cars not only have lower profiles to begin with, the front ends that do flip up end up filling in the look of the feet overall.
It looks like Superion does not have ankle tilts. Can anyone confirm?
All these Aerialbots look like garbage. It's like Hasbro is not even trying. Or at least they are trying to rip us off.
I'm dissapointed that they are recycling Motor Master's trailer junk for the limbs. The least they could have done was update those fixed fists.....this is so frustrating.
Also, for anyone that buys this set, it should come with a Breakdown to make up for those of us that got screwed over due to its lack of availability. It's like selling a car without a steering wheel....I'm so frustrated with Hasbro.
Everything looks great. But is it just me, or does Air raids wings look a little stubby.
Ok, I have two gripes that keep coming up.
1) why do autobot commander class figures include blast effects but not the decepticon ones? ( I really like the blast effects and they should be a pack in with all figure scales considering how much we pay now. they have a nice variety to include and use).
2) why do some figures have wrist articulation and some do not and why do some voyager figures have finger articulation but they can't add that to the combiner figures?
Besides that, superion looks great. The individual bots...we shall see when they arrive in hand.
