MASK Aireal warfare

When MASK gets intelligence that VENOM's leader, Miles Mayhem, has been sighted near the Grand Canyon, Matt dispatches his fastest assets to tie down the villain until re-enforcement can arrive which should lead to the threat force's leader being captured.

Sent are former NASA test pilot Ace Riker in the Slingshot sonic jet, backed up by Dr Julio Lopez in his dune buggy come rocket glider Firefly.

As soon as they arrive they spot Miles in his helicopter turn pursuit plane Switchblade. As they engage, Miles transforms the helicopter to jet mode in an attempt to flee.

However just as the two MASK agents think they have their target, out of nowhere, Vanessa Warfield turns up in Manta - a Nissan 300ZX that transforms into assault plane mode.  Miles flees but Ace pursues, whilst Julio had to evade an engaging Vanessa.

And so the simple capture operation evolves into a vicious aerial dogfight over one of nature's greatest treasures...

Was not going to do anymore but the competition is hotting up with great entries; so I got the better of my ego and decided to do another MASK pic.

There were some vehicles in MASK that I thought were rather naff - and there were some I thought that were brilliant - like this lot; I always felt that Slingshot was the perfect countermeasure to Switchblade, something seldom done in the cartoon, so I did this.

I am very proud how this piece turned out, especially the background; not great at drawing rocks and mountains - but I am getting there; and Switchblade I did rather well

I was going to add Condor, Thunderhawk, Vampire, and Raven, but they cluttered the scene. Less is better
