Title:
Air Raid Superion Aerialbot 1/5
Description:
Air Raid (Deluxe Class, 2015)
1 OF 5: Superion
Accessories: Double barrelled gun, Gun/fist/foot
Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)
Released under the Combiner Wars subline of the Generations toyline, Air Raid is a major retool of Skydive from the same assortment (keeping only the thighs, fronts of the lower legs, middles of the arms, combiner connector, and gun from the original mold), with the alternate mode changed to a black F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, whereas the robot mode homages his original form. He is also able to form either an arm or leg for any Combiner Wars-style Voyager Class figure or form one of Legends Godbomber’s legs, but is intended to be combined with the other Deluxe Class Aerialbots (Alpha Bravo, Firefly, and the aforementioned Skydive) and the Voyager Class Silverbolt to form Superion. He is also officially associated with Galvatronus.
The hand-painted prototypes on display at San Diego Comic-Con 2014, as well as the prototype used for early stock photos of Superion, featured some minor coloring differences with the final product. Notably, Air Raid’s upper arms were originally colored silver. However, the hand-painted prototype used for stock photos of Air Raid himself is closer to the final product.
Air Raid comes with a copy of "Combiner Wars #7” (actually Robots in Disguise #15). Non-American releases instead come with a collector card featuring art from the "Nemesis Rising” 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, Air Raid was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.
Air Raid was retooled into Unite Warriors Curse Armada Thrust.
