Wow, yes, I think it is! Now it looks even more crap than I first thought!

I want to like the altmode, I usually love planes, but it's so out of scale with the radar dish and the color of the plane just turns me off to it.
I just can't find a single thing to like about this guy. His Mechtech weapon...so much more could be done with it. I'll bet it's a bunch of hollow space in there after the gears and springs. That empty space could be utilized, I'd think.

I wonder where my standards were lowered to being happy he has a basic set of joints that point in the right directions.

I could see a repaint of this guy being a lot more interesting though.

You're probably right. Would have made a much better detachable gun weapon though. And the radar dish is a shield AND a gun? That's stupid. Though if the tail had been a gun as well then you'd have a shield AND a gun at the same time or dual guns. Total missed opportunity.
Though I have to say that aside from the lame-o right arm the robot mode looks better than the original photos we were shown a bit ago. Much less "stick figure" looking.
Regarding scale or lack thereof, I'm amazed at the indignation.
I'm shocked, shocked to find Transformers not in scale (or with scaled accessories)!
If it shows up in retail I might be tempted if only to try and mod that tail section into a gun that still attaches in jet mode.

1) Claw hand, One of few Disproportionate Autobots,
2) Mace Hand and Sheild. I like the options of what you can do with it, or just use it as a scythe/blade of sorts. He's very expendable, and for those of you who collect Cyberverse, well, he should fit in just fine. I like him, I WILL Pick up on site, and I DONT Care for what all you haters think! He's coming home with me! Just like blazemaster did! Guess what? I love him. Give things a chance, huh?

I prefer my figures to have two arms (which can hold removable weapons) and legs that don't look like chicken legs. That's my personal preference. That's what's "with me".

I have to say I'm a little in love with him too, aside from green, white and gold being an awesome yet woefully under-used deco choice. I'm loving the abilty to fold his weapon arm into either a morningstar-like or scythe-like configuration, though I do appreciate the comment made by someone here (or on TFW, I'm confusing myself by having both open!) that he looks somewhat more like a Cyberverse commander.
Funny that BeastProwl should mention the Octane's Universe toy when everybody's chatting about repainting Air Raid into him. I personally love my Henkei Octane and see it not only as a great Octane but also as one of the best-engineered figures I've ever played with. However, I would enjoy seeing Air Raid's mould in silver and purple - even if it wouldn't make a great Octane (seeing as he was a guy with two CARGO VEHICLE alts and, anyway, why would a guy who wasn't in any way a fighter have melee weapons?)

wait, what?
Starscream has Chicken legs.
Mindwipe has Chicken legs.
Blazemaster Has Chicken legs.
This guy? No, He's got NORMAL Legs! Unless your definition of Chicken Legs is Scrwaney legs, cause yes, their skinny, But not Chicken. or you could just be talking about Bayformers in general, I am kinda tired of the, can I just say C-Legs? I'm tired of C-Legs and a Air Bot with no C-Legs in movieverse is win, Just like Strato-spheat or however it's spelt.

I got him also but Blazemaster does have chicken legs and wings

If they repaint it with a better looking, more realistic color scheme, I might get it, but I'm not getting this.
