Fowler's V-tol

Fowler's V-tol is a jet from the Aligned continuity family.

Fowler's V-tol is a high-tech classified aircraft stuffed with technology, including some Agent Fowler had the Autobots provide. As a V-tol, it's capable of hovering so he can use its impressive array of weaponry on unsuspecting stationary targets. It's even solid enough to remain intact when shot down. The only drawback is that it's a popular choice of new alternate mode for Decepticons, much to Fowler's dismay.

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Fowler had Ratchet modify the air pressure regulators so he could fly it without a flight suit. Grill He was flying the jet when he intercepted chatter about possible alien technology and was drawn to the area of a battle involving Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Skyquake. Unfortunately the Decepticon took the opportunity to scan Fowler's V-tol as an alt mode and engaged the agent in aerial combat. Fowler managed to evade the heat-seeking missiles fired at him by Skyquake, and catch Bumblebee after the Autobot severely damaged Skyquake's systems. Masters & Students
