Rebuilt the Bridge Walker into the Raven Attacker and here's my review:
Cons:
There isn't much space to hold the thing, no handle beneath, so it's not incredibly swooshable.
There is some cheating involved, requiring you to source 4 pieces from White Lightning, those being two 2L pins for the nose guns and more crucially 2 3L pin/axle hole parts to attach the long cannons on the wingtips.
I did omit these in my reconstruction as to keep the build "pure" and leave White Lightning intact; Additionally as the longer pieces are required for White Lightning's own alternate build.
One minor gripe may be that the pilot, a monochrome Devastator, is legless as well, and even sacrifices parts of his fellow robots to the build.
Pros:
This is a quite sizeable alternate model. I had been holding off on its construction as I was under the impression it would not hold up to the presence of Bridge Walker, and I was pleasantly surprised to find otherwise.
Indeed, the leftover parts is a rather small pool:
As is a very common issue with Exo-Force alternate builds, stability comes into question, and is very happily answered: Yes! It is one of the most stable Exo-Force alternate builds I have done, the only questionable portions being the wingtips' alignment during construction, as there is no proper spacers to keep the Technic beams from flexing.
It sounds like I have more gripes than praise, but I absolutely think this alternate build is well worth the time and effort to slap together.
Solid 8/10.
