	Ironically, for a being so ~~astoundingly~~ straight-and-narrow, his aerial tactics are anything but. Blessed with astounding maneuverability in flight, he can bob and weave with ease in midair, and his abnormally wide field of vision allows him to spot targets or threats others would miss and move accordingly, dodging and striking from unconventional angles. Making him even harder to track is his [[MVP Weapon]], the Glass Flash Laser (グラスフラッシュレーザー ''Gurasu Furasshu Rēzā''), which can produce bursts of light that cause their targets' vision to double up, leaving them swatting at nothing.

He was slated to be released in one of twelve "motorized vehicle" (aka [[Battlecruiser]]) sets. The Pre-Toy Fair 1988 catalogue shows him on the red-and-yellow [[Battle Drill#prizes\|mole-type vehicle]], but it's entirely possible he would have come with a different one; this assortment never made it to packaging sample stage.
