Well said, father. Well said indeed.
Move over, Armada Cyclonus, meet your new unofficial Generations self. Now all I need is the new Hot Shot mold... Missed out on it, and still pretty pissed about it.

My guess would be an Apache, but I would appreciate it if someone could confirm that for me.
Thanks!
The design of the front looks very Apache-ish, so I'd go with an Apache alt. mode. And don't worry, there's no such things as stupid questions. Ok, there was that one, but other than that, there are no such things as stupid questions.

He looks like a mix of at least five different designs:
The ADH-02 from the Patlabor 2 movie: http://www.heldenshop.de/images/tobias1/1017gfdgfdogogogoggggg.jpg
The Apache of course
The Russian MI-24 Hind http://www.enemyforces.net/helicopters/mi24-2.jpg
The KA 50 http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Aircraft/Helicopters/Russian/Ka50TopView1oClock_1.jpg
and the Comanche http://archiwum.wiz.pl/images/duze/1998/03/98032104.JPG

...granted it'll suck, I'll get mad, and blow it up with an M80, but still it's worth a shot...

Hasbro please go back to using red and purple.
The figure looks very nice, don't quite like the bowl shaped head but the rest looks very neat. The missiles are a big nuisance, why did they have to be so freaking long.

That does seem odd. It looks like you could chop the ends off with wire cutters and not stop them working.

looks like hasbro is doing away with spring loaded misslies maybe because "qoute " there safe enough prime smoekstacks for example who knows how hasbro operates sometimes as trasnfromers collector we may have to get use to this if its ture.
its almost funny hasbro try to make transfromers safe for kids but gijoe is more dangouers than trasnfromers little plastic guns, swords, ninja stars, hlemets

Best guess? Same reason the missiles on the reissue Seekers were enlarged: toy safety laws prohibit "choking hazards", so they make them too long to swallow.

Actually, I think he looks a bit like the Agusta Mangusta or maybe the Denel Rooivalk, but with enlarged, bent wings and a Fenstron tail.
Mangusta
Rooivalk

Rotorstorm too I didn't realize he was so dark though, he almost looks jet black. Still, he is an amazing figure.

Well it's in stock at BBTS, I'm sure it's going to be a mid-late September release..
