Got him today at a Walgreens and his robot aesthetic is what I love about him. Decent posability to boot though I wish I either had more of these guys or he had slight modifications so I could give him a proper tank alt mode. I really want to make a tank with his colors.
his head and general aesthetic actually reminds me of the 2007 movie drones. I think he's one of the more intetesting looking of the base bots, though.
Pretty sure Airwave is a deluxe, not a Battle Master. tfwiki.net/wiki/War_for_Cybertron:_Earthrise_(toyline) The word you might be looking for is: Modulator.
His face kinda reminds me of Bayformers, but in a good way. Love how flat it is. I haven't actually gotten any of the modulators yet, but this guy has me interested. I only wish I could get my hands on some Decepticon micro masters for a halfway decent price.
I did get the Siege 10-pack of Micromasters so I am using Overair as his partner, despite having an Autobot logo. I can arm up Airwave by having him hold one of his guns as a handle and Overair as sort of an axe blade (or of course as a sword with Ground Shaker)
Also, the space in his "dumpster missile base" mode is too small for Micromasters, but is the perfect size for Titan Masters, Prime Masters, or other Headmaster type figures
I do really love the Battlemasters, they're just so much to transform, and combine into several different, silly things, and Airwave is definitely no exception! Kids are going to love these!
I love the idea of these city-formers. I know they aren't really cities but I like the idea. What I (and I think many others don't like) are how they are basically just part formers. Some part forming happens sometimes but if that is how you transformer then you aren't a city-former. At best you are a block bot but most likely you are just Duplos.
My only complaint is the elbow articulation, the arms are so blocky you can only rotate at the elbow if the arms are at a right angle. Other than that, great figure
If you combine Stormcloud and Visper into their sword mode, it works very well as a melee weapon for Airwave. Wish I could share a pic of Airwave with his parts recombined into a more recognisable tank mode.
This figure is really awesome. I also have it. He is recolored into GS Hot House who is an Autobot. Though you may not like his color. Cherry Transformers 😆
All these take apart and click back together are real hot garbage I hated gen 1 battlemasters i wish transformers would just up the game a bit instead of recycling ideas
