I got both these vehicles today and while looking over the paperwork for the Snarler I noticed two unnumbered Arasikage stickers. They are not shown anywhere on the label placement instructions. I assume we will see this reissued as some sort of ninja cycle, or is it the Target exclusive cycle?

Tying into the Snarler's driver, Rollbar - the pilot of the Skysweeper, Air Raid, is listed at Franklin Talltree on the filecard. Odd that the Airborne's mold is reused with no notable change to the head as a totally new character yet a totally new character is given his real name. Mix-up at Hasbro??

The Skysweeper is going to become a toon Firebat with the proper labels and the removal of the stupid engines on the wings. The skis perplex me, too.

Odd, I would've expected Air Raid to use the name Dwight Stall.

I'd say its a mistake at Hasbro, they're all sorts of confused these days about matching up file names with figures/characters. Either that or they're just trying to piss people off!

Speed Metal has Heavy Metal's filename, I thought I recognized it from somewhere . . .

The RHINO pack in Rampage has the JvC Rampage's file name. So that's that I guess.

Bench Press has the same filename as Rock N Roll too.

They're having problems clearing names for International use so file and codenames will probably be pretty random until the end of the movie line.

I'm having a REALLY hard time resisting the Skysweeper. I'm trying to avoid vehicles right now, but DAMN that thing is awesome!
