Title:

Skydive Sky Dive Superion Aerialbot 2/5

Description:
Skydive (Deluxe Class, 2015)

2 OF 5: Superion

Accessories: double barrelled gun, gun/fist/foot

Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)

Released under the Combiner Wars imprint of the Generations toyline, Skydive transforms from a fighter jet roughly based on a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon (as evidenced by the nose cone shape, cockpit design, as well as the characteristic clipped delta wings), although with twin vertical stabilizers, to a robot that updates his original body. He can also become an arm or leg for any Voyager Class toys from the Combiner Wars or Unite Warriors lines or become one of Legends Godbomber’s legs, but is mainly grouped with his fellow Deluxe Class Aerialbots Alpha Bravo, Firefly, and Air Raid, along with the Voyager Class Silverbolt, to form Superion. He is also officially associated with Galvatronus and Ultra Prime. In his instructions it states that he forms the left arm and highlights this in red. The red arm however is actually Firefly and Skydive is depicted as the left leg.
A large portion of his body parts are shared with his team mate Air Raid including his waist, legs, combining connector, and gun. Notably, said gun is in fact based upon Fireflight’s photon displacer gun, presumably as a direct or indirect result of his and Skydive’s weapons being swapped in their Generation 1 package art.
Skydive comes with a collector card featuring art from the "Eagle Eyes” episode of Transformers Legends.
As a part of the first and second wave promotion in Hasbro’s Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the Aerialbots and Stunticons was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Skydive was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.
Though designated for release in the first quarter of 2015, Skydive’s wave reached U.S. store shelves in late 2014.
Skydive was redecoed into Combiner Wars General Cicadacon and Windsweeper, and also retooled into Unite Warriors Ghost Starscream and Power of the Primes Dreadwind.
