All of a sudden, the garas like me, and I got this little fellow yesterday after selling off a metric ton of unused weapons and accessories to finish my uc > rt!
Any suggestions for him, keeping in mind my general playstyle?

"Junk it and put the BS on something you like." Sol Volca BS is particularly nice for supports as it's their first mobility part - and quite possibly the best one in the game. If I were you I'd try squeezing it onto Pulsardio.
The core itself has fantastic carts but low HP and capacity; other cores can do the same things much better.

Would SV's Bs sub-function even work on a non-air? The description text seems to indicate it only works for airs....

It's best on non-airs actually.

On non-airs it's more like the air dash Akane does when full boosting, or that Flapjack legs do.

It's like a little extra straight forward boost when you use it on non airs. On airs, you can use it like a stovl, or when you're in the air, you descend at basically a 45 degree angle unlike Brickgale where you just flat out go down. It's great for both offensive styled air units or neat for any other type of bot, especially those who don't have movement cartridges.
I like it, and you got the blue version which looks cooler! (Get it, because blue is considered a "cool" color while red is considered a "warm" color? OLOLOLOLOL *smacked*)
Anyways, other than his BS, his head is great for air melee (I don't know any better, but I'd say it is THE best, maybe next to Sturbanger HD), giving a massive boost to str, and slight boosts in fly and tgh. His lgs are good too, although people would probably opt for laz legs because of the added benefit of using another booster slot. His arms look pretty meh.
Overall, a great find, use his parts, his core is meh as i hear, but what do I know? I've never used the core!

Actually, it let's you move in any direction, not just straight forward, depending on what direction you're moving. So you can retreat without turning around.
I use it to attack instead. It works great on lands as an extra push for Red Squealer AMs. Mighty Byne really enjoys it and Blaze Baron can also use it for an extra-extra push while on fire. The only thing is it takes a lot of getting used to...
And the very best part: you can dash/fly with K-shield.
I got the car animation in garapon and got 2 blue and 1 red! (I prefer red)
Edit: Sorry for the necro-bump, I just realized this thread is from August. I thought the booster had just come out, since it was in the Garapon. Sorry.
