Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)
From Transformers Wiki
| This article is about the Aerialbot. For the Predator, see Skydive (Predator). For other characters, see Skydive (disambiguation). |
- Skydive is an Autobot Aerialbot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Skydive, it has been said, would rather read about an aerial battle than take part in one. He's the Aerialbots' resident bookworm and is fascinated by the history and science behind aerial warfare. Within the limits of his design, he's capable of duplicating the flight patterns of anything he sees. His knowledge of aerial warfare and tactics is unmatched. Skydive is probably the most skilled Autobot flier in existence. All of that, and you're more likely to find him secluded in a cozy library than actually in the sky. He's simply too modest and bookish to realize how smart and skilled he really is. Thankfully the rest of the Autobots definitely do.
Skydive combines with his fellow Aerialbots to form Superion or with other Transformers to form Ultra Prime.

At one point during the eternal war with the Autobots on Earth, Megatron grew fed up with how his opponents ruled the roads and created a group of Decepticon cars known as the Stunticons. In order to give his new warriors life, he brought them to Cybertron and tracked down the ancient supercomputer, Vector Sigma, to input cybernetic personalities into the Stunticons. Thanks to a series of traps and drones in their way, the Autobots failed to prevent Megatron from succeeding and returning to Earth. Seeking to even the playing field, Optimus Prime conceived of the idea of retrofitting several broken-down Cybertronian ships into Earthly jets, and bringing them to life as a team of Autobot flyers. With the help of his technical savvy soldiers, Hoist, Wheeljack, Ratchet, and Prime's own creator, Alpha Trion, Optimus's plan was enacted and the Aerialbots were born. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2
Because Optimus Prime specified to Vector Sigma that the Aerialbots be given personalities that required them to learn and grow, and make their own decisions, however, Skydive and his friends were not instantly bound to the Autobot cause. Their sense of pride in their flying ability caused many of them to look down on the other Autobots. Despite their personalities being like night and day, Skydive and Slingshot were frequent flying partners and often on the same side of any argument. Skydive's eye for aerial maneuvering left him just as impressed as the more emotional Slingshot when it came to the Seekers' flight skills, and this innocent zest for knowledge led him and his partners into a Decepticon trap. Turning the Kronosphere on the hapless Autobots, Megatron sent the Aerialbots back in time nine million years. Their journey led them to the earliest days of the war, and they personally saw Megatron maliciously gun down unarmed Cybertronians in his quest for power. Skydive and the other Aerialbots returned to the present with an unshakeable commitment to seeing the Decepticon threat ended. War Dawn
Skydive and Slingshot were once carved up into pieces and somehow put back together by a street kid who also just happened to be a deposed royal prince of a Middle Eastern nation who was also a mechanical genius. Convenient. Aerial Assault
After the death of Megatron and the retaking of Cybertron, Skydive and the Aerialbots became part of the Autobot Fleet. When Ultra Magnus, Kup and Spike were kidnapped to Quintessa, the rescue party alerted the Aerialbots to swoop by for covering fire and pick-up. Air Raid and Skydive made the strafing run that took out the Quintessons' defensive proton cannon. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2
When the Quintessons destroyed their own planet to get at the Autobots, the resulting blast wave destroyed the Aerialbots' ship, sending Skydive and the rest hurtling through space. Although they clearly survived, Skydive, Fireflight and Slingshot were not seen after the explosion. They eventually impacted on Goo Number 8739-B, and were rescued by Wreck-Gar and the Junkions. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3
Skydive was present when Optimus Prime briefly returned from the dead, and gathered the Autobot Fleet for an attack on the Quintessons. He was also on the flagship with Perceptor when they spotted Hot Rod and the others coming to warn the Fleet about the Quintesson trap. Dark Awakening
Once, Air Raid led the Decepticon duo of Scourge and Cyclonus into an asteroid field where Skydive and his fellow Aerialbots were waiting to spring an ambush. The Aerialbots messed the Decepticons up pretty badly, especially after they transformed into Superion. Eventually, Skydive and the others chased the Decepticons through a strange warp in space. This proceeded to have no consequences for anyone whatsoever. Fight or Flee
Skydive and the Aerialbots were spending a relaxing day watching home movies on Teletraan II when things suddenly got serious, as the Autobots' computer off-handedly informed them Trypticon was never destroyed in his last battle with Metroplex. Sure enough, Silverbolt and Skydive were later present at the former site of Fort Knox, investigating Trypticon's handiwork on behalf of the King of Kings of Carbombya. When they tracked Trypticon to his new staging grounds, Skydive and the Aerialbots launched from Broadside, but the Decepticon presence in Carbombya was more than they had anticipated. The Aerialbots made a hasty retreat when confronted with overwhelming firepower, but soon returned with reinforcements and drove the Decepticons from Carbombya. Thief in the Night
During a battle in space, Skydive and the Aerialbots may or may not have been present. Superion, at least, was surely there on the planet Eurythma... sometimes. Carnage in C-Minor Skydive was definitely stationed at Autobot City, though, when Scourge and Starscream stole Metroplex's eyes. The massive Autobot was nearly driven mad with pain when the Decepticons set off a bomb in his brain, and Skydive, Silverbolt and Powerglide had to keep him contained so that his thrashing didn't destroy anything irreplaceable. Like Portland. Ghost in the Machine
After Sky Lynx took some hostile fire over the planet of Junk, Rodimus Prime dispatched Skydive and the Aerialbots to investigate. They were caught in a crossfire between the brain-addled Junkions and the Quintessons, who were responsible for messing with the Junkions' air waves, and their minds. Even after becoming Superion, the Aerialbots took heavy fire and had to be brought back to First Aid on Cybertron for repairs. The Big Broadcast of 2006 Later, Skydive and the Aerialbots were working with Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus in Europe to fend off the latest wave of Decepticon attacks. When Trypticon arrived, they played the bi-planes to his King Kong. The Ultimate Weapon
Skydive made a brief appearance when the Autobots brought their new generator on-line after the creation of the Technobots. Grimlock's New Brain During the Decepticon invasion of Japan, the Aerialbots fought against Astrotrain when he tried to derail a bullet train full of passengers. The Burden Hardest to Bear Sometime thereafter, Skydive and the Aerialbots were recruited by Rodimus Prime to rescue the body of Optimus Prime from Swofford and Morgan. Unfortunately, this only meant they were among the first Autobots exposed to the Hate Plague. Despite the madness induced by the red dust, the Aerialbots were apparently still willing to form Superion. Superion ran amok, causing serious property damage, infecting Defensor, and taking several other Autobots out of action. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1
When the Decepticons invaded Cybertron searching for the Plasma Energy Chamber, the Aerialbots tried to stop them. Unfortunately, they didn't reckon with Sixshot. Despite his skill as an aerial ace, Skydive was matched move for move by Sixshot in his starfighter mode, and was blasted out of the sky. The Rebirth, Part 1 The Combaticons then took his power pack to use as fuel for the giant rocket engine they were constructing for Galvatron. The Rebirth, Part 3

Scramble City: Mobilization
- Voice actor: Ken Shiroyama (Japanese)
Skydive and the Aerialbots were dispatched from the Scramble City project by Ultra Magnus to aid Optimus Prime in battle with the Seekers and Devastator. Their aerial firepower frankly overwhelmed the marauding Decepticons, and sent them home with their transistors between their struts. On his second attempt, Megatron sent the Stunticons, who were considerably more successful in engaging the Autobots. Damaged in jet modes, Skydive the Aerialbots chose instead to merge and form Superion. As Superion, they possessed scramble combining abilities, but so did the Stunticons when they formed Menasor. The Aerialbots were in the midst of reconfiguring their limb formation when Fireflight, being...well, a daydreaming idiot, mixed up whether he was supposed to be the right leg or the left. His indecision gave Menasor time to shoot him down, and Wildrider assumed the place of Superion's right leg instead, corrupting his programming. Skydive and the others were trapped as Superion, literally fighting themselves, until Fireflight retook his place as Superion's limb. Scramble City: Mobilization

Skydive and the Aerialbots were stationed at Autobot City on Earth in 2011. When Galvatron attacked Cybertron via the old space bridge network, the Aerialbots were summoned to Cybertron as reinforcements. They soon arrived with the Trainbots and quickly joined the battle. Skydive and his team formed Superion and battled Abominus and Devastator. Four Warriors Come out of the Sky Later, the combined Aerialbots fought alongside Raiden and Defensor against the Decepticon combiners, and were nearly crushed when Bruticus collapsed a building on their position. They were bailed out by the arrival of the Battleship Maximus. When Hot Rod began his search for the Matrix of Leadership on Earth, Skydive and the Aerialbots returned to the humans' planet to assist him. They confronted the Stunticons in the desert, pitting Superion against Menasor yet again. The battle was so fierce it eventually carried them to the Arctic where Hot Rod was searching. The Mystery of Planet Master
Skydive and his flying comrades joined the Triple Changers in distracting the Decepticons long enough for Twincast to sneak inside Trypticon and gather data on the Madmachine. The Great Cassette Operation Sometime later, Skydive and the Aerialbots were on a research vessel that passed near a strange meteorite. The meteorite had been altered by Galvatron to produce magnetic warping waves whenever it detected metal, and so it send the Aerialbots and their ship twisting through space. Although the Decepticons tried to intervene, the Autobots eventually recovered Skydive and his injured colleagues. Approach of the Demon Meteorite
Following a lengthy repair cycle, Skydive and the Aerialbots were ready for action when Galvatron and the Decepticons laid siege to Cybertron one last time. Transporting to Cybertron from Earth, they raced into battle (on foot, for some reason). Skydive and the team got the drop on the Stunticons when they merged into Superion, smashing and scattering the 'Cons before they could form Menasor. Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1 As the fighting continued, the Aerialbots battled Abominus as Superion and later separated to trade blaster fire with the Stunticons. The warring only came to an end once Scorponok's bombs blew up Vector Sigma and annihilated the planet.Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2
When a giant carnivorous plant attacked San Francisco, Ultra Magnus dispatched Skydive and the Aerialbots to combat it. Although they made frequent bombing runs on the organism, the Aerialbots were unable to stop it. Only the arrival of Fortress and his powerful giant Transtector brought an end to the creature's rampage. Head On!! Fortress Maximus Skydive and the Aerialbots were part of a strike team that flew to the moon to disrupt Scorponok's gathering of Decepticons. They immediately formed Superion upon entering the battle. Return of the Immortal Emperor
When one of Scorponok's Death Towers emerged in Washington D.C., Skydive and the Aerialbots were dispatched to investigate it. As part of Superion, Skydive participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. He lent his energies to the Headmasters' Head Formation to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)

When the Protectobots confronted Menasor at a baseball stadium, Skydive and the Aerialbots arrived as back-up. They formed Superion to engage Menasor and Bruticus. After Defensor was injured, Superion targeted the Decepticon combiners' legs, shaking them loose and giving the smaller Protectobots a chance to link up with the Decepticon gestalts and override control of their bodies.

The Great Transformer War
In 2010, Galvatron kidnapped Doctor Dalton of Eran to utilize his skills and improve the Decepticons' combiner technology. Skydive and the Aerialbots joined the Protectobots in assaulting Trypticon, in hopes of rescuing the hostage scientist. Skydive and his team formed Superion for a first strike, but the Decepticon combiners countered with their deployment modes, launching the Stunticon and Combaticon troops with enough force to tear Superion apart. The Protectobots stood guard over Hot Spot as he performed battlefield triage on the Aerialbots in his repair bay mode, bringing them back on-line. Silverbolt then transformed into launcher mode and unleashed Skydive and the other Aerialbots in their own scramble attack, blinding Menasor and Bruticus long enough for the Autobots to escape safely with Dalton. The Great Transformer War #1
Full Throttle Scramble Power!
The Decepticons, up to their usual tricks, threatened to plunder Earth's resources. The Aerialbots pleaded with Optimus Prime to allow them to deal with their bitter rivals, the Stunticons, currently attacking a powerplant. Though Optimus was hesitant at first, the Aerialbots being new and inexperienced, he allowed them this chance to prove themselves. The two teams met, and quickly combined into their gestalt forms to do battle. Though Superion was initially crippled by the Omega Wave Cannon, a new weapon controlled by the Decepticons, he held his own until the Autobots dispatched enough reinforcements to turn the tide of battle, and send the Decepticons fleeing. Full Throttle Scramble Power!
Marvel Comics continuity
Marvel The Transformers comics
Thanks to his previous connection to the Creation Matrix, Buster Witwicky began experiencing dreams and visions of new Transformers, beginning with an etching of Superion he made without even being consciously aware of it. Devastation Derby! By sharing his visions with Optimus Prime, Buster was able to clarify the images and understand the future of the evolution of the Cybertronian race—amalgam model robots like the Constructicons' Devastator, capable of a more-streamlined merging into a more powerful form. Second Generation! Together, Optimus and Buster witnessed a prophetic vision in which Skydive and the other Aerialbots assisted the Protectobots in defending the Pullen Power Plant from the Combaticons and the Stunticons by combining into their gestalt forms. The Special Teams Have Arrived It was this vision which allowed Optimus Prime and Wheeljack to conceive of and construct the Aerialbots. Second Generation!
Working on a plan to reverse engineer the gestalt technology the Decepticons used to create Devastator, Optimus Prime and the Autobots staged a daring raid on the Decepticon base of operations, giving Bumblebee enough time to digitally record the Constructicons' electrical transformation pattern for study. Command Performances! Working off that blueprint, Wheeljack successfully created Skydive and the Aerialbots. During the new warriors' testing phase, however, the Autobots were alerted to a Decepticon operation at Hoover Dam. Only the Aerialbots were fast enough to reach the location in time, and so Prime was forced to send them into battle before their programming was completed.
Arriving to find a giant energy siphoning device being channeled through the space bridge, Silverbolt deferred to Skydive's strategic knowledge on how to deal with the target. Skydive's preliminary attack run failed to even damage the device, however, and before he could make a second pass the Decepticon jet Thrust took the offensive, temporarily grounding Skydive with the disruptive power of his engines.
The Aerialbots eventually turned the tide on the Decepticons and drove them off, giving them time to focus on the energy siphon which was the core of the problem. At Silverbolt's command, they merged into Superion and began dismantling the drill device. A problem arose, however, when Bombshell's cerebro-shell controlled pawn Ricky Vasquez pointed Megatron (in his gun mode) at the giant Autobot. Because the majority of the Aerialbots were not programmed specifically to protect human life, Superion only saw a potential threat that needed to be eliminated. As the human fought against the Decepticons' control, Silverbolt too fought inside Superion's gestalt mind to protect the human. In the end, Silverbolt was forced to disengage Superion to keep him from destroying the human. Luckily, Ricky was more successful and managed to break the cerebro-shell's hold long enough to point Megatron at the drill and destroy it, ending the threat. Aerialbots over America!
After the near disaster at Hoover Dam, Optimus Prime had the Aerialbots shut down and their programming completely erased. Returned to a blank slate, he then input fully-programmed personalities for them with the Matrix before their next mission. It, uh... didn't help. In battle with Menasor as Superion, the Aerialbots were attacked by Circuit Breaker, deactivated, and captured by RAAT. Heavy Traffic! As these humans' prisoners, the Aerialbots' bodies were disassembled for study, while their faces were mounted on Circuit Breaker's wall as trophies. They were only released, along with several other Autobot captives, after Circuit Breaker was forced to elicit their aid by combining them into a giant mechanical suit to defeat the Battlechargers. Decepticon Graffiti!
Optimus Prime sent Skydive and the Aerialbots to back up Bumblebee as he investigated possible Decepticon activity at the unveiling of Power Station Alpha. They arrived just in time to see Bumblebee being blown away by the G.I. Joe team guarding the power station and combined into Superion in an attempt to retrieve Bumblebee's body. Blood on the Tracks Upon learning that Optimus Prime had died in battle while the Aerialbots were on their mission, Superion immediately disengaged and returned to the Ark. Power Struggle Skydive and the other Autobots aboard the Ark watched as Ratchet tried and failed to save Optimus Prime. Their leader irreparable, the Autobots held funerary services for him, and launched his remains into space. Funeral for a Friend! Later, the Autobots united with both G.I. Joe and Cobra against the Decepticons, who planned to use Power Station Alpha to destroy the world. Skydive and the Aerialbots entered the battle and once more formed Superion, this time to defeat Devastator. ...All Fall Down!
The Aerialbots would battle Menasor again at a Blackrock plant, and this time the fusion worked so well everyone found out the others' weaknesses and neuroses. Silverbolt's shame over his fear of heights being found out by the others drove Superion into a vicious, brutal fury. ...Perchance to Dream
Later, Skydive and the other Aerialbots fell under Jetfire's command, investigating enemy activity in a small East Coast town. Little did they suspect that Jetfire had been tasked with undermining each one of them as a means of testing their psychological limits. Early in the mission, Skydive and Air Raid teased Silverbolt over his displacement as team leader, unaware on how deep their words cut. When Decepticon signatures were detected within a power plant, Jetfire turned to Skydive for battle tactics, only to shoot down his plan upon hearing it. Though Fireflight spoke up to defend Skydive, Slingshot rendered the discussion moot by rushing into a surprise attack.
The Autobots were met with Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp holding several humans hostage. Skydive's attempt at blasting the latter Decepticon met with failure when Skywarp teleported out of the way, causing the shot to impact an energon cache. The group managed to escape the ensuing explosion, and the Aerialbots merged into Superion to do away with Starscream, the other two Decepticons having already escaped. Superion proved destructive and slow-witted as ever, and his target managed to escape. Despite the mission ending on a sour note, Jetfire gave the Aerialbots a positive review, having been unconscious during Superion's poor showing. The Return of the Transformers
As Grimlock took over the Autobots, Skydive and the other Aerialbots took an extended leave of absence from the war, since the Dinobot commander focused Autobot resources on repairing their fallen comrades and prepping the Ark to become spaceworthy again. The Autobot craft launched into orbit in pursuit of Blaster, who had been partaking in overtly mutinous behavior. Though the Autobots managed to capture Blaster's spaceship, within it they only found a quartet of small human children and a stuffed bear. In order to draw out his real target, Grimlock put the humans on trial, a procession which Skydive attended. He was visibly displeased when Grimlock sentenced the kids to death for aiding Blaster, though thankfully this was all a ruse on Grimlock's end to draw Blaster into the open. Spacehikers!
Skydive disembarked with the rest of the Earth-bound Autobots from the Ark onto Earth's moon, where they witnessed a battle for leadership between Grimlock and Blaster. This was a moment of opportunity for Ratbat's Decepticons, who attacked Slingshot and the others on the moon's surface. Though the Decepticons struck a devastating first blow, Blaster and Grimlock managed to temporarily put aside their differences in order to lead their troops together. Though many Autobots were severely damaged, the Decepticons were successfully pushed into a retreat. Totaled!
After the Nebulan Throttle stole a power cell, Skydive and Fireflight were tasked with retrieving it. Their pursuit of Throttle's vehicle, the Decepticon Dreadwing, took them over the ocean, where they accidentally shot him down, sending craft, passenger, and power cell all plunging down into the drink. Dreadwing Down!
Sometime later, it was Skydive, Air Raid, and Fireflight who were the first to respond to a distress call from Buster Witwicky, the Autobots' old human ally who had been the Decepticons' prisoner for nearly a year. They found the boy nearly frozen to death on an iceberg, and brought him to the care of his older brother, Spike, and the latter's binary bonded partner, Fortress Maximus. But the Autobots had been led into a trap laid out by Starscream, who had planted Buster outside the Decepticons' secret base. Though a brief fire-exchange ensued, the Autobots and Decepticon forces joined when they realized that Starscream, planning to acquire the nigh-infinite power of the Underbase, posed a greater threat. Together, they were able to prevent him from absorbing most of the Underbase's power. Unfortunately, the fraction Starscream did manage to take into himself still bestowed him with unimaginable power. In an effort to protect the Earth from his rampage, the Aerialbots were Starscream's first victims, wiped out in a single blast of cosmic power in the skies over New York City. Dark Star
Along with the other deactivated Autobots aboard the Ark, Skydive and the Aerialbots were eventually revived by the Nucleon super-energy Grimlock and the Dinobots recovered from Hydrus Four.

Fresh off the RE-assembly line, Skydive screwed up an Autobot mission by broadcasting the location of Prowl and his hijacked Decepticon ozone rocket over an uncoded frequency. Luckily, Prowl managed to remove the poison gas canisters before the Decepticons got there, and the two 'Con factions ended up fighting over nothing of value. Life in the Slow Lane
A few nights later, Skydive was coming to relieve Wheeljack from a late-night guard shift when he found signs of a skirmish. Wheeljack was gone, and some animal tracks he took for signs of Predacon activity were all over the place! Tracing them to the main base, Skydive found it had been forced open, and a shadowy figure was creeping through the halls. He leapt into action!...right on top of poor Wheeljack. It turned out Ol' Wheels had tripped over his lamp and heating unit at the guard post, run into a polar bear, and scampered away out of sheer fright, forcing the door when he couldn't find his key.
This incident was mercifully left off the official duty logs. Mystery!
Skydive was present with the entire Earthforce team outside Autobot Earthbase when Wheeljack unveiled his brand-new unbreachable defensive system. This was unfortunate, as Wheeljack had forgotten that, once activated, the system could only be turned off from the inside. Prowl elected to run the gauntlet and reach the shutdown console inside, and the Aerialbots provided air support for him. Skydive and his buddies gunned down the Acid Bats at the entryway, giving Prowl his chance to get through. The House that Wheeljack Built!
In a later battle, Skydive and his team formed Superion... and were quickly taken over by Bombshell. Still less embarrassing than "Mystery!" Inside Story!

Skydive was knocked out by the oncoming blast, but Blaster dragged him to a safe place. Space Pirates!

After the Autobots split into smaller combat units throughout the universe, Skydive was sent to Earth with a group of Autobots under Hot Spot's command to deal with the re-emergence of Megatron. The Decepticon's new abilities and Cobra allies proved a considerable challenge, though. After half their number were killed and their transport destroyed, Skydive volunteered for a strategic play to get inside the enemy-controlled Ark. Shutting off his systems on a time-delay to appear as lifeless machinery to the sensors Megatron had set up in the ship, he was smuggled aboard the Ark by some disguised G.I. Joe soldiers. Final Transformations Once inside, he received some surprise help from Spike Witwicky, who had returned just in time to reconnect with his Headmaster partner, Fortress Maximus. With Fortress Maximus sacrificing his life to distract Megatron and destroy the Ark, Skydive got to safety with Dr. Sidney Biggles-Jones, the human scientist Megatron had taken prisoner. All or Nothing!
While observing a Decepticon attack from the shadows, Skydive witnessed Megatron resurfacing with Starscream to resume command of the Decepticon army from Bludgeon. The Power and the Glory A full scale Decepticon assault on Earth soon followed, and Skydive sought out Optimus Prime for reinforcements. He returned with only the Autobot Commander in tow, Tales of Earth Part Three which failed to impress G.I. Joe leader Hawk, who had envisioned more than a solitary Autobot coming to their aid. Skydive tried to convince the human that Optimus was more than just an ordinary Autobot, and that his commander surely had a plan to deal with the situation at hand. Unfortunately, Prime's plan was to reason with Megatron, which didn't pan out. The Autobot leader was beaten near-death, and Matrix energy was siphoned from his body so Megatron could bring to life a new army. Thankfully, a group led by Grimlock arrived and saw the Decepticons off. Skydive soon afterwards left Earth duty to reunite with his fellow Aerialbots in the stars. The Gathering Darkness He was later involved in the ill-fated defense of the planet Ethos, Escalation! and the battle for Earth against Jhiaxus's Cybertronian armada. Total War!

The Special Teams
Skydive was created on Cybertron, where Vector Sigma first ignited the spark of life within him. Skydive, and the rest of the Aerialbots were nearly convinced to join the Decepticons upon their initial alliance with the Autobots. This was due to a fault in the Aerialbots’ programming, present due to a sudden drop in the mega-computer when they were being created. The Aerialbots were sent over by Optimus to help the Protectobots defend the Pullen Power Plant from the Decepticons. As they flew towards the plant, Skydive and Fireflight crossed paths with Blast Off, and recognized that he was wearing a Decepticon badge. The Aerialbots then combined into Superion to even the odds against Menasor and Bruticus. Bruticus fell early in the battle, prompting the Aerialbots to separate and give chase to Starscream while Defensor took over the fight with Menasor. The Special Teams

When an Autobot salvage expedition was unexpectedly ambushed by Decepticons, Ultra Magnus became concerned that the Cons had developed a new form of surveillance. Silverbolt suggested his men perform a full scan of the area for any spy installation. The Aerialbots were unable to locate any sites on the ground, but a ghost of a radar contact at high altitude caught their attention. Forming Superion, they flew as high as possible and confirmed that something was out there in the upper atmosphere. Galvatron's Air Attack

Skydive and Slingshot assisted Hot Rod in apprehending the Battlechargers. The incident was captured on television.
When human scientists discovered a mysterious city beneath the ice of the North Pole, they placed a call to Autobot City in order to get the Transformers' perspective on the discovery. Skydive, Slingshot and Hot Rod were dispatched with the research team to investigate. On their way, the humans' research plane was shot down by a powerful laser, and the Aerialbots were unable to locate the craft in the terrible blizzard. They instead made their way to the on-site research team, only to happily discover that Hot Rod and their human friends had been saved by the city-dwellers themselves. While the Watcher, leader of the city-dwellers, showed the humans and Autobots around their hidden home, monitor screens alerted the group that the Combaticons had arrived, and were investigating the crash site. The Aerialbots concluded that Blast Off's orbital firepower was responsible for the crash, and flew out to engage the Decepticons in battle. Eventually, however, Autobot and Decepticon alike learned that the city-dweller were the real threat, and joined forces to vanquish the strange but malevolent beings. Skydive rather reluctantly complied with the truce and allowed Ravage and the Combaticons to leave without incident once the fighting was over. Battle Beneath the Ice
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
Skydive and his fellow Aerialbots became one of the first Autobot "Special Teams" several million years ago, adopting the process used to create Devastator in order to become Superion. The unchecked destructive power of these super-robots was eventually recognized by the Autobot and Decepticon factions, however. By the time of the Dark Ages, the Crisis Intervention Accord had been ratified, strictly forbidding Special Teams from operating together on any given faction, in order to prevent these titans from tearing the planet apart. War Within: The Dark Ages
Millions of years later, Skydive and the Aerialbots were active on Earth with Optimus Prime and the crew of the Ark. They did not arrive on that ship, however, and the actual manner of their arrival was never explained. The war on the human homeworld raged from the 1980s until 1998 when the Decepticons were finally defeated, and in the following year, the Ark II was constructed to take the Transformers home. However, the ship was sabotaged by the rogue engineer-turned arms dealer Adam Rook, known as Lazarus, and General Robert Hallo, who planned on reprogramming the Transformers into the service of the United States military. The Aerialbots were some of the few Transformers who were not recovered by Lazarus for his reprogramming venture, now aimed at hiring out the Transformers to the highest bidder. Instead, they were reactivated as Superion in 2002 by Optimus Prime, using the power of the Matrix of Leadership. Prime Directive #2
Silverbolt and the Aerialbots in their Superion form, battled the Decepticons in the Northwest Territories of Canada Prime Directive #3 and again in San Francisco. During the latter conflict, Superion was broken down into his individual components while battling Devastator and the Seekers. Prime Directive #4 The Autobots were then tied up with steel girders while Megatron tried to convince Optimus to join him, purporting that humans were too morally bankrupt to be worth his efforts. Prime Directive #5 But thanks to the interference of some humans, Skydive and his team were freed and eventually reunified in order to intercept a nuclear missile (launched by General Hallo) headed for the California coastline. Superion, and by extension the Aerialbots, were destroyed in stopping the missile. Prime Directive #6
Their remains were collected secretly by Earth Defense Command and held in Area 51. Generation 1 #0

Early in the war, the Aerialbots responded to Optimus' rallying call for additional support against the Decepticons and fought against the Seekers in the battle that followed. Broadcast He later provided air support after the rise of the spawn of Mortilus known as Trypticon. The Illusion of Control
Thousands of years later, Skydive was among the Autobots poised to fight against Galvatron's army on Cybertron. Led by Silverbolt, he and the other Autobot fliers attacked Kimia Facility and fought with the many Sweeps defending it. Numbers
After the war ended, Skydive and his fellow Aerialbots worked crowd control on the Decepticons after Ratbat was murdered. He later followed Silverbolt's lead along with the rest of the Aerialbots in deserting Bumblebee's fledgling government. Stick Together
Shortly after leaving Iacon behind and traveling into the untamed wilderness Cybertron had become, the Aerialbots were the first to fall victim to Megatron's experiments with a combiner energy that influenced their minds and made them turn on each other. Before the Dawn Skydive eventually teamed up with the other Aerialbots and tried to do Silverbolt in, tracking him for three days. After Silverbolt finally succumbed to the influence of the signal, the team was forcibly merged into a single being: Superion! Night and the City
Superion soon fell in battle against a Prowl-controlled Devastator, leaving all the surviving Aerialbots comatose and on life support. Three Monologues They were eventually rebuilt and resuscitated through the efforts of Wheeljack and the Enigma of Combination, First Contact. As part of Starscream's political maneuvers, Skydive and the new Aerialbot team were deployed to Caminus to stop Menasor. Superion was able to dispatch the Stunticon combiner. The Sum and Its Parts Following a clash with Devastator, Superion was briefly reduced to his components, although Starscream thought otherwise and forcibly reintegrated the Aerialbots back into Superion. Mistakes and Mayhem
Much to Optimus Prime's concern, Superion hadn't separated since the fight with Devastator; Prowl commented that for all intents and purposes Superion was the new default form for the Aerialbots. You, Me, and the Universe
As Superion joined Optimus Prime's Autobots on Earth, he disassembled into his individual Aerialbot components from time to time. Skydive and the Aerialbots performed a "bombing" run in the arid desert, releasing payloads that caused dramatic botanical growth where they fell, providing food to support the local humans. Skydive and the Aerialbots then fled the air resistance they faced, reluctantly holding to Prime's orders to not engage any human counter-strikes.

Responding to an attack on Autobot base by Devastator, Bruticus, and Predaking, Skydive had the other Aerialbots cut the chatter about Silverbolt's acrophobia and focus on the battle. They attacked the evil combiners in the form of Superion and, after a brief setback brought about by Silverbolt's weakness, defeated their enemies by attacking them from ground level.

When the Autobots learned that the Decepticons were planning to create a new batch of Decepticons, the Autobots responded by returning to Cybertron and building the Aerialbots. Both they and the Stunticons were brought to life at the same time before Vector Sigma, and Skydive and the Aerialbots fought to defend the supercomputer from the Decepticons. Though it seemed that the Decepticons might win thanks to the power of Menasor, the Aerialbots managed to rout the Decepticons and chase them away.

Studious and thoughtful, Skydive knows more about air tactics than all of the other Aerialbots put together, but sometimes leans more towards theory than actual practice. The trick is to get his nose out of the books and into the sky. Once there, the others look to him for guidance and group strategy, something he finds - given his streak of extreme modesty - a little daunting. Skydive just doesn't realize how smart he really is.

- He was only available in a Target-exclusive five-pack with Legends Class Blades, Air Raid, Ramjet, and Thrust. The packaging back and the instructions swap Air Raid and Skydive's names, but since the deco used for "Air Raid" is very clearly based on Generation 2 Skydive, this can be assumed to be an error.

Combiner Wars
- 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.[1]
- 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.

Merchandise
Transformers Trading Card Game
- Skydive, Air Warfare Specialist (2019)
- Wave 2: Rise of the Combiners
- Rarity: CT
- Card Number: T39/T46
- Stars: 5
- Skydive, Air Warfare Specialist was released as part of the Transformers Trading Card Game Wave 2: Rise of the Combiners. Like all other members of combiner teams released in the set, Skydive, Air Warfare Specialist is a folding card, with the Bot and Alt modes being depicted when the card is folded in half, and a holofoil portion of the the combined mode depicted when unfolded. The reverse of Skydive, Air Warfare Specialist depicts Superion's left arm, which is formed by Skydive in the artwork.
- The artwork for Bot Mode is reused from the Combiner Wars Skydive toy's packaging art, and is based on said figure.
- Skydive, Air Warfare Specialist can be used to form Superion, Sky Protector with the use of the Action card Aerialbot Enigma while he and the other Wave 2 Aerialbots are in Bot mode on the battlefield or KO area.
Notes
- Skydive is the only standard member of the Aerialbot team to not follow its uniform white color, being primarily colored gray instead.
- Skydive's character model suffers a similar fate to that of both Superion and Fireflight, in that his tailfins on his back are depicted spread out from the front view, yet from the back view they are folded back. This confusion led to the tailfins being drawn differently from scene to scene.
- Most modern Hasbro molds include a "pretooled" alternate head on the sprue, with Combiner Wars Skydive's alternate tooling being based on the Generation 1 Seeker leader Starscream. For clarification, TakaraTomy's Unite Warriors Ghost Starscream uses this pretooled head and not a TakaraTomy-original element.
