ARMADA AIR ASSAULT MINICON TEAM

This team are from 2003. They mostly work for the Decepticons. They are re -paints of the Air Defence Minicon Team. They did not appear in any cartoons in this form but were in Transformers Armada comic issue 16. I think this is the air defence teams powerlink form. The originals being translucent and blue and they form the Star Saber Sword. They did  appeared in the cartoon.







There combined team MOTTO is " We are the power of the sword"


Dark Saber Sword

JETSTORM

MOTTO: Affirmative!

TECH SPEC; Jetstorm's name implies a much more turbulent personality than his outward behavior would suggest. He is perhaps the most easy going of the ADT, but his agreeable nature and tendency to go along w/ whatever Runway and Sonar says leads many to believe that he's somewhat slow. This isn't so: Jetstorm is just a very thoughtful and introspective mechanoid. Of all the Air Defense Team, he harbors the most pent up anger against the Decepticons for the imprisonment of his people. This deep rooted hostility might be why Jetstorm fears the team's combination and use as the Dark Saber -- he is afraid of unleashing his personal darkness and never regaining control.

RUNWAY

MOTTO; "Don't worry..Let me explain the plan"

TECH SPEC; The loquacious Runway became the de facto leader of the Air Defense Team once they escaped from the clutches of the Decepticons on Cybertron, becoming the first and only Mini-con unit to escape from Megatron's prison camp. Although he isn't fond of warfare or the responsibilities of leadership, Runway rose to the challenge with admirable skill. His planning allowed the Air Defense Team to construct the ship that ultimately took the majority of Mini-Con race off Cybertron. Though Runway is proud of his daring efforts to save the Mini-con race, he secretly harbors great guilt that the escape ship his team built crashed on Earth, spreading the war to another world.

SONAR

MOTTO; " Even an ace pilot is as good as his wing bot"

TECH SPEC; Where Runway leads, Sonar follows. Sonar's just as smart and capable as runway perhaps more so, according perhaps more so, according to some accounts -but he's perfectly willing to defer to his leader in most circumstances. He's immensely grateful to Runway for arranging the trio's escape from the Decepticon prison camp; Sonar considers this an awesome dept that can never truly be repaid. For this reason, he cant always be found backing up Runway in word and deed, especially on the battlefield

The sword is fragile and can fall to bits. It looks good with Megatron.

The robot modes are basic but OK. The jet modes I think are better. Sonar has a jet pack on his back for the swords handle. His feet can get loose so be careful.

Jetstorms tail fin flips onto his chest but can be hard to do and I do not want to risk doing it so not shown on picture.

They powerlink to any bigger figure.

A good team to collect.
