After General Hallo and Spike Witwicky revived Optimus Prime, Superion was one of several warriors that the Autobot leader called upon from the depths of the sea. Superion served as the Autobots' heavy hitter in their mission to stop Megatron's mad plan to infect the world with technomatter virus similar to the effect the Key to Vector Sigma had on organic life. During this crisis, Superion fought with Devastator before being forced back into his individual component robots. Prime Directive, Part 4
Hallo launched a nuclear missile at San Francisco in an attempt to destroy all the Transformers, Superion sacrificed his life to save the city by ramming the missile over the Pacific Ocean. Prime Directive, Part 6
Toys
Generation 1
- Superion (Multi-pack, 1986)
- Japanese ID number: C-55
- Superion is formed out of all five Aerialbot toys, with Silverbot serving as the cental body component, and the four smaller team members as limbs, using additional attachments for Superion's hands and feet. A helmet covers Silverbolt's head and a red waist plate attaches onto his chest piece. He carries Silverbolts rifle as his main weapon.
- Due to Silverbolt forming his torso, his design weaknesses are carried over to Superion. Additionally, as Silverbolt has rather thin legs, this leads to Superion having very thin thighs.
Generation 2
- Superion (1994)
- As part of Generation 2, Superion was redecoed in colours deemed popular in products of the time, or something like that. Silverbolt's white is replaced by light blue, Slingshot is gold, Fireflight a much darker red, Sky Dive silver and Air Raid blue. Superion could now wield two spring-loaded missile launchers that came with Silverbolt.
