Although various members of the Acroyear race appeared in the series, a only group called the Acroyear Air Patrol were directly based on the Mego Acroyear toys. Acroyear's brother Shaitan was roughly based on the Acroyear II toy. Two Acroyear pilots were directly based on the figures that make up the arms of Giant Acroyear. The rest were original designs by Marvel Comics. | Although various members of the Acroyear race appeared in the series, a only group called the Acroyear Air Patrol were directly based on the Mego Acroyear toys.
