I just finished these yesteday. The first one is Aerialbot Slingshot, A United States Marine Corps McDonnell Douglas AV-8 Harrier. Originally it was going tobe based on the the first Harrier, the British Harrier, but I didnt like how the nose cone was too pointed. Though they're almost similar, I like the USversion better (I used to collect plastic model military planes by the way ). I also added the Marine Corps insignia.... Eagle , Globe and Anchor, onSlinghshot. I'll probably do the rest of the Aerialbots, but not anytime soon.
Dirge......nearlythe same as Ramjet and Thrust, they were supposedly modified McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagles, vertical stabilizers on wingtips....non-rear horizontalstabilizers, turbofans on wings for vertical takeoff and landing...etc. But such configurations do not exist. The only F-15 variations I could think of are theF-15E Strike Eagle and an F-15 used for flight testing with a pair of canards just above the intake area. The "DANGER JET INTAKE" marking is usedonly in US Naval and Marine Aviation, and F-15s are operated by the Air Force. I figured I 'd add the marking just for show.
I've always been a Transformers fan since 1985. I am not a fan of the post-Optimus Prime era/post-Transformers Movie 1986. I didnt like the story lines, new characters, new villains which looked like some FUBAR creatures from the ocean depths, newvoices which were terrible. And most of all I didnt like how Prime died and replaced by a crappy leader. The Protectobots and Metroplex were the only newcharacters I liked from the cartoon series.
