(Okay, the rotors aren't Throwbots either, but at any rate they're mounted on Amazon's central gear.) And yes, it is more than a Throwbot with (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

I once got sort of a "bird" mode by slightly modifying Jet's carrying-case mode, and I've built Super Jet by adding parts from Granite, but the helicopter's the only really original thing I've (...)
