Title:
Air Defense Team 1st Star Saber
Description:
Air Defense Team (Mini-Con Team, 2002/2003)
Japanese ID number: MM-02
A trio of high-tech jets, Runway, Jetstorm, and Sonar can combine to form the Star Saber sword, which can be held by any other Transformer that has 5mm fist-holes. The Team’s main body is cast in translucent plastic in order to utilize the light-up-fist gimmicks in Super Mode Optimus Prime and the Takara releases of Hot Shot. Unfortunately, because of the placement of opaque parts and the lack of a continuous light path from handle to tip, the light-up effect is less than successful. It also does not hold together terribly well, and will easily fall apart due to gravity alone. Due to largely being made of translucent plastic, the stress caused by transformation and plugging the parts together WILL inevitably lead to stress fractures, which will can lead to parts breaking off and the Star Saber being almost completely unable to hold together.For the Team’s Takara release, they were available both as an individual set, and in a multi-pack with Hot Shot.This mold-set was used to make the Takara Vorpal Saber, and remolded to make the Energon Saber, Blizzard Saber, and the Chaos Saber.
