: ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Skydive transforms into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-16 Falcon fighter jet]]. As a [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiner, he can form the arm or leg to any super robot of compatible construction, though his nominal placement is as the right leg to [[Superion (G1)|Superion]].

:All five Aerialbots were also later made available as mail-away offers in Japan during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Return of Convoy (toyline)|Return of Convoy]]'' in 1991. Skydive (like all the other limb-jets) cost 1000 yen and two [[Robot Point|robot points]].

[[File:Universe-AR-Skydive.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|Airdive?]]
*'''Aerial Rivals''' (multi-pack, 2008)
**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''

: A redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Jetfire (Armada)#LOC|Jetfire]]'s ''Legends of Cybertron'' figure, ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Skydive transforms into a cargo plane with a color scheme based upon his ''Generation 2'' incarnation. In his plane form, the tail section can be swiveled up to form an attack mode. 

:He was only available in a [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] five-pack with Legends Class [[Blades (G1)#LOC|Blades]], [[Air Raid (G1)#Universe (2008)|Air Raid]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|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.

: This sculpt was also used for ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Fireflight (G1)#Classics|Fireflight]].

*'''Superion''' (Multi-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Shield/double-cannon, Autobot-type [[energon star]]
**''Series'': '''G1 Series'''

:Available only as a component of ''Universe'' [[Superion (G1)#Universe (2008)|Superion]], this version of Skydive is a lavender and grey redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Sky Shadow (Energon)#Toys|Sky Shadow]]/[[Terradive (Energon)#Toys|Terradive]] mold, transforming into an A-10 "Thunderbolt" plane. He can also form a leg or arm to any ''Energon''-series "[[Powerlinx]] [[Combiner]]" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the right leg to Superion. He comes with a shield/double cannon that can become a footplate or "hand" for his combined mode, plus a blue "super energon" Autobot-style energon star that fits over his [[spark crystal]].

:He shares his mold with fellow Superion pack-mate [[Fireflight (G1)#Universe (2008)|Fireflight]].

:Skydive was released, along with the others in this box set, in 2008 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' packaging in Australia and Singapore. This set was released as a Target-[[exclusive]] set in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]] packaging for North America. Thus, this toy doubles as [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Movie]] [[Skydive (Movie)#Revenge of the Fallen|Skydive]].

:This mold was also used to make [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]]-[[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Skyfall (Cybertron)#Toys|Skyfall]].

*'''Skydive''' (Deluxe Class, 2015)
**'''2 OF 5: [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]'''
**''Accessories'': Double barrelled gun, Gun/fist/foot 

:Released under the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' imprint of the [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] toyline, Skydive transforms from a fighter jet seemingly based on a cross between an F-16 and an F-18 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 [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs, but is mainly grouped with his fellow Deluxe Class Aerialbots [[Alpha Bravo#Toys|Alpha Bravo]], [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]], and [[Air Raid (G1)#Generations|Air Raid]], along with the Voyager Class [[Silverbolt (G1)#Generations|Silverbolt]], to form [[Superion (G1)#Generations|Superion]]. He is also officially associated with [[Galvatronus (Generations)|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.

:Skydive comes with a collector card featuring art from the "[[Eagle Eyes]]" episode of ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]''.

:Skydive was redecoed into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Cicadacon#Generations|General Cicadacon]] and [[Windsweeper#Generations|Windsweeper]], and also retooled into ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|Ghost Starscream]] and ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Dreadwind (G1)#Generations|Dreadwind]].

**''Accessories:'' Rifle, individual Aerialbots guns/fists/feet

:A ''Generation 2''-themed redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' Skydive is packed along with the other Aerialbots (including [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#CWG2|Powerglide]]), and sold as a [[giftset]].

:The [[Superion (G1)#CWG2|Superion]] "Collection Pack" was (at least in theory) a "shared exclusive" between various online retailers (such as [[Hasbro Toy Shop]],[[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], [[BigBadToyStore]], and Entertainment Earth) and the online storefronts of major "big box" retailers (such as [[Toys"R"Us]], [[Walmart]], [[Target]], and [[Kmart]]). It was still available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets, though.
