I often think of Sky Commanders and Air Raiders together, as I believe they both came out around the same time, and both had
short lived cartoons to support the toy sales. The Air Raiders had a fun gimick, incorporating an air plunger and
various launching weapons and moving parts, powered through a series of hoses and your plunger. I was always glad to see
when a series still managed to have firing weapons, since there was, and probably still is, a crusade to make toys as
dull and 'safe' as possible so as to not let kids put each other's eyes out.
