So a favorite of mine, Broadside! Yes, really I love the zaniness of a transformer who can land on himself. Anyway there has never been a good toy, all three I have a deeply flawed in serious ways.

The G1 version is a brick, even by G1 standards. The CHUG version is amazingly articulated by comparison.
The third toy is FansProject Assaulter, which was considered quite a good 3P toy at a the time but, as you can seem third party has come a long way.
The plane modes are interesting. The G1 is garbage, the CHUG version is garbage and yet surprising faithful in a new garbage interpretation of an old garbage mode. The 3P toy is O.K. in this mode but doesn't really look like Broadside.
The aircraft carrier modes are better. The #P is terrible, again not really broadside, but the G1 and CHUG are really nice, with the CHUG serving as a nice update.
