The New Sky Sweeper with Air Raid finally landed at my door step.
First, Air Raid. He's a direct repaint of the Resolute 5 Pack Duke and this time he gets a nifty parachute belt that without damage cannot be removed. Deco is nice and he's a good fit in the ROC line. The Sky Sweeper Jet is your basic Firebat with some added extras. Skids: The jet no longer has hard molded wheels into the tail fins and the fins are replaced by the engine armature with skids on the bottom of each tail fin. The twin guns on the underbelly now have a middle skid that supports the jet in the front. Engines: There are two bulky engines with awesome detail on them with rivits and everyting, but unfortunatly they dont really look like they belong on the super sleak rest of the body. Although they are more detailed, the blast ports on the rear of each booster engine dont match the APU engine port on the main body of the jet, so it's a bit off from behind. There is a connection peice that runs to the main body on the top of the engines and unfortunatly due to packaging stress, mine was a bit warped but will settle in eventually. CockPit: Slightly retooled with blue rails around the edges to give it a little more effect and it looks nice. Decals: Still a few more than you really need but looks like they are sufficient and give the jet added realism. Armaments: Well this is where I am saddened, those spring loaded bing honking guns from the figures are now attachments to the jet. If you leave out the missiles then it's ok, but with the big blue sticks...looks kinda dumb. I ordered mine from HTS because I was worried I wouldnt see them in the store since the Alpha vehicles are not moving here...I want to get a few more and make a Cobra prototype.

I'm glad for you that you got one, but I personally don't like it. Why are all the movie toys so... blue?

Please don't tell me you spent $25 for this.
I'm sorry, but this vehicle is just a Firebat (retail $15) with bulky accessories and a Resolute Air Drop Duke repaint. You should have got paid for opening the box. I'm tired of Hasbro constantly getting over on us... jeesh... |

Hey it looks alright. I'd have given him a new head and called him Barrel-Roll though....
