| :''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Fireflight transformed into a red F-4 Phantom II with white wings. He could combine with his fellow Aerialbots to form Superion. As a [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiner, he could form the arm or leg of Superion, or any other compatible combiner, though his nominal location was as Superion's right arm.

| :In 1990, Fireflight was offered as a mail away by the Weetabix Breakfast Cereal in the UK. [[Stunticon (G1)#Toys|Stunticon]] [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] was available in the same offer.
| |
| | |
| :In Japan, the Aerialbots were also later all made available again as mail-away items during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Return of Convoy (toyline)|Return of Convoy]]''. The smaller toys cost 1000 yen (120 more than their original retail price!) and 2 [[Robot Point|robot points]].

| |
| | |
| :Fireflight is a red and beige [[redeco]] of [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]] [[Jetfire (Armada)#LOC|Jetfire]], transforming into a cargo plane. In his plane form, the tail section can be swiveled up to form an attack mode. He was going to be named "[[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]]", but the [[trademark]] was unavailable, so his name and identity were changed.
| |
| | |
| :The [[redeco]] was also once conceived as [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], but there was too much white already in the toyline, thus it was changed to Powerglide, and then Fireflight. Identity crisis, anyone?
| |

| :This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Universe (2008)|Skydive]].

| |
| | |
| :Available only as a component of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Superion, this version of Fireflight is a dark brown and grey redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|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 [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#2008Superion|Skydive]].
| |
| | |
| :Fireflight was first released, along with the others in this box set, in [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|2008 ''Universe'']] packaging in Australia and Singapore. The set was later released as a Target-[[exclusive]] set in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]] packaging for North America. Thus, this toy doubles as [[live-action film series|live-action continuity]] [[Fireflight (ROTF)|Fireflight]].

| :"Firefly" is part of the first wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys. He transforms from robot into a modified [[Slingshot (G1)#Generation 1|red and white Harrier jump-jet]], as well as either an arm or a leg for [[Superion (G1)#Generations|Superion]] or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs. To help this latter portion along, he comes with a weapon that transforms into either a foot or a hand. He is also be able to form either an arm or leg on any Voyager Class toys from the ''Combiner Wars'' subline or any ''Unite Warriors'' figure as well. His instructions state that he forms the left leg of Superion and highlights this leg in red, the image however shows Skydive with Firefly actually shown being the left arm. He is also officially associated with [[Ultra Prime#Generations|Ultra Prime]]. Firefly comes with a collector card featuring art from the "[[Eagle Eyes]]" episode of ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]''.

| :Firefly was [[retool]]ed into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Slingshot (G1)#Generations|Quickslinger]]/''Unite Warriors'' Sling, who was then [[redeco]]ed into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Blast Off (G1)#CombinerWars|Blast Off]], with the original version of the mold being [[redeco]]ed into [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|TFSS]] 4.0 [[Needlenose (G1)#Generations|Needlenose]].

| :The 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.
