Charlie Chopper
Charlie Chopper was one of the first "mega class" figures released under the 1-2-3 Transformers line (2002), transforming from a robot to an orange and white rescue helicopter, in three steps.
Charlie Chopper has two accessories, a rescue shield and a life preserver ring.
The main gimmicks of the 1-2-3 Transformers line are simplistic transformations and electronic sounds (and lights, in the case of Rescue Roy).
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:
- "Leapin' lifters, you're a great wingman!"
- "Leapin' lifters, let's go to chopper mode!"
- "Twistin' turbines, let's go to chopper mode!", etc.
A separate set of fixed (non-random) sound effects and phrases are used while in chopper mode, in this order:
- "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.
In 2003, Charlie Chopper was slightly redecoed and released as part of the Japanese "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" line, as Chopper.
