:''Powerdive is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

{{mainpic|10:27, 24 April 2009 (EDT)}}
'''Powerdive''' can detect an [[Autobot]] from a hundred miles away, giving him ample opportunity to figure the best approach to take them by surprise and take them apart with his flying rotor blades. A heavily-armed warrior, Powerdive can rain down death on his opponents, or engage them in close combat. Either way, he is a no-nonsense fighter, ready and able to brutally tear through any obstacle.

He is also known as '''Blade'''.

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic===
Powerdive was one of several new warriors created by the Decepticons after their defeat on [[Klo]]. While [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] designed these new warriors and conceived the plan of stealing the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], it was [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] who actually carried out the plot.  {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}} Powerdive leapt into action alongside his fellow [[Rotor Force]] and [[Laser Rod]] members on [[Tykos]], moon of [[E'brutoc]], in order to acquire the metal-reinforcing gas known as [[rheanimum]]. The Decepticons ripped through the opposition and took the gas for themselves.  {{storylink|New Dawn}}

Despite their new powers, Powerdive and his ilk did little to turn the tide against the G2 [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]], and so Megatron was forced to make an alliance with the Autobots for mutual preservation. Powerdive made several appearances among the unified army, and was present for the final conflict on Earth with [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]].  {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

===''Wings Universe''===
Powerdive was part of the "second generation" of Transformers created on [[Earth]], and when this generation began fighting amongst themselves just like the previous one, he joined [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]'s Decepticon Syndicate. He participated in the attack on the [[Large Hadron Collider]], fighting in the skies alongside [[Skyjack]] and some [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]]. When the Autobots attacked, Powerdive and [[Ransack (G2)|Ransack]] battled against [[Manta Ray (G2)|Manta Ray]] and [[Leadfoot (G2)|Leadfoot]], and may have developed rotor powers after all four were exposed to [[forestonite]] gas. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

==Toys==
===Generation 2===
[[Image:G2-toy_Powerdive.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Comes with cherry or licorice-flavored rotors.]]
*'''Powerdive''' (Rotor Force, 1994)
**''Accessories'': Helicopter rotor, 2 rotor discs

: Powerdive transforms into a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Boeing-McDonnell-Douglas AH-64 Apache assault helicopter]].  As a [[Rotor Force]] toy, his hand-wound rotor assembly can launch plastic flying discs in vehicle and robot mode; the prop/engine portion becoming a hand-held weapon for robot mode.

: He came with two rotor discs, in case you lost one (considering how well they fly, good idea). Early releases of Powerdive and his partner [[Ransack (G2)|Ransack]] came with black-plastic rotor discs, but this was changed to red after a short while. The black-rotor version is much more uncommon.
