oh, he’s doing the Spock sign!

 
The Aerialbot 7; one is an honorary Aerialbot, one is Slingshot renamed.

Aerialbots Wiki? I do think you meant TFWiki, right?

However, before the wikis, there was:

@WM-R  
Don’t be sorry, it’s hilarious.

@OneOverTwo
 
I, on the other hand, am not too young. Sorry about the whole “RUINED FOREVER” thing.
 
You’d think that the fans of a series where the whole point is transformation would be more accepting (or at least tolerant) of change.

@WM-R  
Pretty sure the Blast-Off thing is first iteration bias.  
The thing I know the most about transfans is that they’ll complain about anything, especially other Transformers fans.  
Also everything else. They are the ones who coined “RUINED FOREVER” after all.
 
I’d say “we”, but I’m too young to take any credit there.

@Roy-of-Asturia
 
Oh, if we’re going one pony to a team, then yeah, RD with the Aerialbots, Lightning with the Stunticons, Fluttershy with the Predacons and EQ Twi with the Technobots.
 
I’d also throw in Applejack with the Protectobots (what with her wanting to protect her family above all else), the Trainbots (hard workers) or Constructicons (raising barns won’t be a problem anymore).
 
And maybe the Seacons with Flutters. Oooh, or maybe the Brestforce. ‘cause they have their animal partners, plus Hootershy…
 
 
@OneOverTwo
 
@OptimusPrimevil
 
Wait, wait. Slingshot was already replaced on at least one other previous Superion, wasn’t he? I mean, Windrazor, I think?
 
We aren’t talking about a sorry loser like cartoon Rodimus Prime here, who seemed like a pretty inferior leader compared to Optimus (and there’s that whole ‘responsible for getting Optimus killed thing’).
 
Heck, the only line I’ve seen for Alpha Bravo simply has him state he’ll do whatever it takes to safeguard Cybertron, which already endears him to me more than Slingshot. Plus, he’s still a bot who flies in the air. No one ever complained about Blast-Off (a freaking space shuttle) being part of the Combaticons.

@WM-R  

 
Rainbow Crash?
 
 
But still to me a single Pony character to a combiner team.  
Lightning Dust => (G1 or CW) Stunticons/Menasor  
Fluttershy => (G1) Predacons/Predaking
 
Human!Eq Twilight Sparkle => (G1) Technobots/Computron

@OneOverTwo  
most are complaining the stores aren’t near them so they’d have to order some from a middle man or online store (with adjusted prices).

@OptimusPrimevil  
I think it’s multiple stores, but exclusively online only ones.

@OneOverTwo  
but they want slingshot NOW and not renamed and not on some hard to reach store (as far as i know it’s a store specific release as well as the renamed wildrider).
 
unpleasable fanbase is probably why i don’t go to the main tf fandom sites X_X.

@OptimusPrimevil  
& apparently Slingshot’ll be released later as an online exclusive named Quickslinger anyways so…

@WM-R  
based on fanboy rants:  

@WM-R  
People often hate replacement characters.

@OptimusPrimevil
 
Wait, that’s wrong with Alpha Bravo?

@Roy-of-Asturia  
alpha bravo is best aerialbot. he took all the fanboy abuse so that blades and vortex can live.

@Roy-of-Asturia
 
I dunno, I figure Dash’d have more fun with somebody like Slingshot or Air Raid, the really impulsive or competetive ones. I can see Twilight getting on fairly well with Silverbolt (Mr Responsible) or Skydive.
 
But I don’t think no one will doubt Fireflight and Derpy will have lots in common.

Rainbow Dash, or in this case Rainbow Dork, is clearly best with this Aerialbot.
 
Wait. Rainbow Dash is 20% best with ALL Aerialbots, (G1, SuperLink/Energon, Combiner Wars, whatever).
 
No second thoughts.

& then his arm droops due to weak elbow joints.
