The main gimmicks of the 1-2-3 Transformers line are simplistic transformations and electronic sounds (and lights, in the case of Rescue Roy).
'''Charlie Chopper''' is a helpful robot with a southern accent.


By pushing down on a button on the robot's chest/helicopter's cockpit, Charlie Chopper can say a combination of random 2-part phrases while in robot mode.  For example:
==Toys==
:"Leapin' lifters, you're a great wingman!"
===''1-2-3 Transformers''===
:"Leapin' lifters, let's go to chopper mode!"
* '''Charlie Chopper''' (Mega 1-2-3 Transformer, [[2002]])
:"Twistin' turbines, let's go to chopper mode!", etc.
** ''Accessories'': Shield, life preserver

A separate set of fixed (non-random) sound effects and phrases are used while in chopper mode, in this order:

He has an articulated right thumb which allows him to give [[you]] a thumbs up.
:"Thwup-thwup-thwup" (generic helicopter sounds)
:"Let's go to robot mode!"
:"Chief, we're ready for airlift, over."
:"Ten-four, buddy. We got the sky covered!  Over."


In 2002, a repaint of Charlier Chopper named Airlift Andy was released.
: He also includes a shield/badge which can peg into the back of his fists, and a life preserver that can hang from the flip-out hook on the underside of his chopper-mode nosecone.


In 2003, Charlie Chopper was slightly redecoed and released as part of the Japanese "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" line, as Chopper.
