Great Review on both the Firebat w/ AVAC and the Terror Drome. I was a Terror Drome owner and this series of videos really took me back to the memories of owning one and the efforts my mother took to buy me one! Thanks Kevin!
Oops! I mention at the end, that the 2003 Wild Weasel (by Funskool of India) came with the only Cobra-symbol marked parachutes... I forgot about the working parachute that came with the 2012 Retaliation Cobra Trooper and 2013 Retaliation Invasion Trooper.
4:04 this looks like a MK-84 dumb bomb, it is dropped and guided only by gravity and the angle and height from which it was dropped. These bombs became smart with the addition of JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition)guidance kits. 4:20 looks like a GBU-10 Paveway II laser guided bomb. 2:56 it says that the firebat is a support vehicle which would make its ordinance fitted for a ground support, thus the bombs and not missiles under its wings. I seen the cartoon and the firebat does seem to fire missiles but they are shaped differently, maybe they were fitted with missiles and not bombs. Just an observation, good job.
The only re-release I have is the 2011 Skystriker (I think thats what you meant). I am planning to buy and review the re-release of the Tomahawk (called Eaglehawk coming out soon).
This is a cool looking vehicle. One of my favorites. The only thing is. How the heck did the pilot would get in an out if its upright. Landing this thing would be a nightmare. And if you were in a hurry to take off. Forget about it. This would have been shot out of an elevating gantry.

The Conquest is high on my must-buy list. I'll get one very soon for review!

I like the idea of the AVAC pilots flying the Rattlers since Wild Weasel is supposed to be an individual
I touched up my AVAC with a silver paint Sharpie, it worked pretty well.

My fav ones are always the small attack craft like the firebat, devilfish, or skyhawk, but I never figured out why.....
I was going to say, I got the mail away as a kid and mine came with AVAC.
Great review, nice set !
Cool! I looked at one before at a buy-sell-trade action figure store! I might get next time!
Yup that's the one. Great to hear you're going in for the Tomahawk (I guess they renamed it because of licensing issues).
Now, while I'm no Aeronautics engineer, that must be the most disorienting way to land any kind of vehicle, VTOL or otherwise XD
now that was awesome

Conquest any time?
By the way, do you buy and/or review any of the re-releases? I recall you did the 2012 conquest.
