[edit]
- Superion (Multi-pack, 2009)
- Revenge of the Fallen Superion is a redeco of Energon Air Team/Superion Maximus combiner. Superion is composed of his five team members, with Silverbolt forming his central body component. His limbs' energon weapons form his hands and feet. Similarly to Generation 1's Scramble City combiner teams, Superion features universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs from different teams.
- Superion was exclusively available at Target stores in the USA and at Zellers stores in Canada, and as a mass market release in the United Kingdom. His components were not available separately, only in a combiner five-pack.
- Like Bruticus Maximus, this toy was originally intended to be released as part of the 2008 Universe line as Generation 1 Superion, but was ultimately only released in Universe packaging on non-US markets such as Singapore and Australia, whereas the USA, Mexico and Canada got the toy in Revenge of the Fallen packaging instead.
Notes
[edit]- Due to a widespread assembling error, Silverbolt's knees are backwards, preventing correct movement. A part swap (that involves unscrewing eight screws while avoiding four springs that really want to pop out) can correct this, unless you are unlucky enough to own a sample with one correct leg and one incorrect leg. However some really lucky ducks have one that actually has both legs correct.
- According to the instructions and packaging photos, Airazor forms Superion's right arm, Fireflight forms his left arm, Skydive forms his right leg, and Air Raid forms his left leg. However, the layout of the figures in the packaging moves all the limbs one position clockwise (seen from the front). Because his limbs are all interchangeable, you can have it either way! Or neither way!
