Description As explained on 'Dynobot' Swoops bio, I think that Flying Alt modes would have been quite 'thin on the ground' (pun intended) before the outbreak of the war, so I wanted all these guys, as well as Swoop, to have an obvious common origin, part Swoop, part seeker and part Jet/Skyfire (as well as some others).

SAURON - STRIKE JET. (with a hint of Conehead)
Suggested by Constructosaur at TFW2005.com.
Smallest of the team, drafted in to replace Strafe (see below). Quick and agile in either mode.
Will be reformatted into a Nyctosaurus.

SCORCH - BOMBER.
Largest of the team, a repentant pyromaniac busted out of prison by Grimlock.
Will be reformatted into a Quetzacoatlus.

SCUD - FIGHTER JET (with just a twist of Doubleheader and Snapdragon).
A bit of a psychopath, a little eager to drop his bombs and torpedoes.
Will be reformatted into an Anhanguera.

SKIM - FIGHTER JET.
Short sighted, so sticks to low altitude strikes.
Will be reformatted into a Rhamphorynchus.

SLAUGHTER - FIGHTER/BOMBER.
Suggested by Constructosaur at TFW2005.com.
Ex-Gladiator, where he encountered by Grimlock. highly effective hand to hand combatant.
Will be reformatted into a Tapejara.

STRAFE - BOMBER (with more than a hint of Technobot Strafe, funnily enough).
Sadly Killed in action. Grimlock had his airframe and name to hand when he came to create the Technobots in the G1 cartoon.
Doesn't get reformatted, as he never makes it to Earth.

Nice design variety. For some reason each seems like they could be made pretty easily w Lego pieces.

Like how you twisted Skyfire's design and managed to come up with distinct airframes, similar yet different
