Darksteel is a homage to Beast Wars Quickstrike and is a remold of Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe featuring a new headsculpt and also remolded Mech-Tech weapons from DOTM Starscream.
Air Raid was an all new mold whose alt mode was that of a green AWACS aircraft. He featured a Mech-Tech weapon that was a radar dish in alt mode but could be used as a shield in robot mode or transform into a blaster.

The Cobra/Viper motif seals the deal. Did you also notice that his weapons look like a snake's fangs?

I like gladiator Air Raid, especially since he goes so well with Springer and (green) Powerglide.
But he's pretty awesome just by himself

Something about Air Raid works really well for me. Something about him reminds me of Swoop ... the general slenderness of his body and the head crest help reinforce that. I'd love to see him repainted as Swoop sans dino mode. The remold could be done to make it look less like an earth mode vehicle.
Beast Hunters Swoop?

I was thinking more along the lines of a BotCon Dinobots set than a mainline figure but I think you get my idea.

That's a really cool idea. I may have to try that w/ mine.
