	:Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes]]'' Deluxes, "Aerialbot Skydive" is a [[retool]]ing of [[Air Raid (G1)#Age of the Primes\|Aerialbot Air Raid]]. He transforms into a rough approximation of an F-16 Falcon, with a robot mode based directly on his animation model from the original cartoon. He comes with a pair of identical black blasters that can be mounted under his wings in jet mode. His tailfin is attached by a [[5 mm post]], and is bundled with his blasters in the box.		:Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes]]'' Deluxes, "Aerialbot Skydive" is a [[retool]]ing of [[Air Raid (G1)#Age of the Primes\|Aerialbot Air Raid]].

	: Skydive's main feature is his ability to transform into a leg that can attach to the frame included with [[Silverbolt (G1)#Age of the Primes\|Silverbolt]], the line’s Commander, to help form [[Superion (G1)#Age of the Primes\|Superion]]. His nominal place is as the combiner's right leg.		: Skydive's main feature is his ability to transform into a leg that can attach to the frame included with [[Silverbolt (G1)#Age of the Primes\|Silverbolt]], the line’s Commander, to help form [[Superion (G1)#Age of the Primes\|Superion]].

	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. {{storylink\|Stick Together}}		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. {{storylink\|Stick Together}} After the Decepticon [[Skydive (Predator)\|Skydive]] was found murdered, [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Prowl]] initially asked if it was the Aerialbot, but was told it was just a Decepticon with the same name. That didn't stop him from referring to the victim as an Aerialbot AGAIN a few moments later. {{storylink\|Devisive}}

	Shortly after leaving Iacon behind and traveling into the untamed wilderness Cybertron had become, the Aerialbots were the first to fall victim to [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]]'s experiments with a [[combiner]] energy that influenced their minds and made them turn on each other. {{storylink\|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 (G1)\|Superion]]! {{storylink\|Night and the City}}		Shortly after leaving Iacon behind and traveling into the untamed wilderness Cybertron had become, the Aerialbots were the first to fall victim to [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]]'s experiments with a [[combiner]] energy that influenced their minds and made them turn on each other. {{storylink\|Before the Dawn}} Skydive eventually teamed up with the other Aerialbots and tried to do Silverbolt in, tracking him for three days.

	Superion soon fell in battle against a Prowl-controlled Devastator, leaving all the surviving Aerialbots comatose and on life support. {{storylink\|Three Monologues}} They were eventually rebuilt and resuscitated through the efforts of Wheeljack and the [[Enigma of Combination]], {{storylink\|First Contact (IDW)\|First Contact}}. As part of Starscream's political maneuvers, Skydive and the new Aerialbot team were deployed to [[Caminus (planet)\|Caminus]] to stop Menasor. Superion was able to dispatch the Stunticon combiner. {{storylink\|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. {{storylink\|Mistakes and Mayhem}}		Superion soon fell in battle against a Prowl-controlled [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]], leaving all the surviving Aerialbots comatose and on life support. {{storylink\|Three Monologues}} They were eventually rebuilt and resuscitated through the efforts of Wheeljack and the [[Enigma of Combination]], {{storylink\|First Contact (IDW)\|First Contact}}.

	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. {{storylink\|You, Me, and the Universe}}		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. {{storylink\|You, Me, and the Universe}}

	: Released in the third year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' toyline in the US (second in most of Europe and Japan), Skydive transforms into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes\|F-16 Falcon fighter jet]]. As a "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)\|Scramble City]]"-style toy, he can also combine with any Scramble City team leader as either an arm or a leg to a super robot, though his nominal position is as [[Superion (G1)#Toys\|Superion's]] right leg.		: Released in the third year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' toyline in the US (second in most of Europe and Japan), Skydive transforms into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes\|F-16 Falcon fighter jet]].

Later in the year, packages without bonus patches were released. The following year, these toys instead had a randomly-packed [[Decoy (G1)\|Decoy]] added to them; Skydive only came with Autobot Decoys.

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