ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: AERIALBOT
FUNCTION: WARRIOR
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 21
"If you look first, you may not leap."
Profile: Air Raid loves surprises. He prefers to suddenly streak into a cluster of Decepticons, whether they're airborne or on the ground, over shooting at them from long range. "That always sparks their wires a bit," he laughs. Of all the Aerialbots, his tactics are the most fearless, although some might call them rash and foolish. No matter - his gung-ho, wild-eyed personality legitimizes either viewpoint. At the core of his actions is one goal that drives him above all else - he wants to have fun! And no matter what he's involved in, he achieves that goal - even in the middle of a war.
Abilities: Air Raid can fly at speeds of up to Mach 2.5 and has a range of 1500 miles. He can shoot air-to-air heat-seeking missiles and, in robot mode, carries a torque rifle whose beam can apply up to 80,000 psi of rotational force to any object. Only the strongest materials can withstand warping and breaking under such pressure. He combines with his fellow Aerialbots to form the giant robot known as Superion.
Weaknesses: His reckless behavior often leaves Air Raid exposed to greater odds than he can reasonably expect to handle.

**Air Raid is one of the guys I got in a trade as a kid. For more of the story, check out Superion and Optimus Prime. Air Raid is in good condition with fairly tight joints and minor sticker wear. Needs a little cleaning. Probably has been one of my favorite Aerialbots over the years, just because I thought he was the coolest looking. He comes close to complete with his gun, the Torque Rifle, but does not have his tech specs.**
