ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: AERIALBOT

FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 21

"To live is to fight; to die is to stop."

Profile: Superion is a fierce and frightful machine. As the collective consciousness of the five Aerialbots, Air Raid, Skydive, Fireflight, Slingshot and Silverbolt, he might find it confusing and unproductive to assimilate each of his component personalities into one. Therefore, he suppresses much of what is potentially more than he can handle and directs his thinking to one primary purpose: the destruction of the Decepticons. And that's about all he's good for. Little else interests him; he's unlikely to even engage in conversation about anything else. The other Autobots take this to be a cold and aloof attitude, as if Superion held himself above them. In truth, it is the most Superion can give of himself.

Abilities: Superion can fly at speeds up to 800 mph. His range is 5800 miles. His strength is formidable; he can demolish a battleship with one blow. The stress fracture cannon he carries shoots a beam that locates and then overloads the natural fracture lines in any object it hits. The result can be anything from cracking open a peanut shell to causing a small earthquake.

Weaknesses: Superion finds it difficult to adapt to new situations and to be innovative. His thought processes are too primitive to allow for such higher mental functions. This often restricts him in battle. Although incredibly strong and resistant to most artillery and beam weapons, he does have certain "pressure points" - areas of structural weakness where one component Aerialbot connects to the next - that are particularly vulnerable to attack.

** Superion has been probably my biggest Transformers vice throughout the years.  First off,  I got Silverbolt, Air Raid, Fireflight and Slingshot through a trade with a kid at school many years ago for Decepticon cassettes.  I will admit they were in decent shape when I got them, and all in all, I thought they were cool, but were missing both Skydive, as well as some of the parts.  It was frustrating having an almost complete Superion, but no complete.  This was all before eBay, or even the internet, so I really knew no way of tracking the rest down.

    As I am sure you can see now, that has changed.  I got Skydive complete with backing card, as well as the missing parts I needed, which consisted of one fist and his head.  All hail Ebay!!!  The only thing missing now, is Fireflights Photon Displacer Gun, which I would love to have, but can live with being without for now.

    Condition wise, Superion is in great shape, with fairly tight joints, and only moderate sticker and play wear.  I am considering buying new stickers for him soon, and cleaning him up.**
