Superion Maximus met his apparent demise after a final encounter with [[Bruticus Maximus]] and [[Constructicon Maximus]].

As stated by Megatron, they seem to have actually fought to a standstill and slipped into stasis. Ambition

Similar to Generation 1's Scramble City-style combiner teams, the Air Team (as well as the Construction Team and Destruction Team) feature universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs between different teams. There are only two different molds used for the limbs, with Sky Shadow and Terradive sharing one and Treadshot and Windrazor using the other.
For their Hasbro-market releases, the five members of the team were only released as individuals, split across a few waves of product.
The Air Team as a whole was redecoed into the 2008 Universe Aerialbots, who were later sold as the Revenge of the Fallen Aerialbots. Two of the molds were separately redecoed into Club-exclusive Nexus Maximus limbs: Sky Shadow/Terradive were used for Skyfall while Treadshot/Windrazor were used for Breakaway.

In Japan, the Air Team was only made available as part of a complete Superion gift set. There are minor deco differences in the Japanese version of the team; see the individual entires for more information on those changes.
