Dogfight (RID)

The name or term "Dogfight" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dogfight (disambiguation).

Dogfight is an Autobot from the Adventure portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Far from a model Autobot, Dogfight (ドッグファイト Doggufaito) is a nasty and violent street fighter with a burning hatred for Decepticons, and all attempts by Optimus Prime to quell his anger with counseling and meditation sessions have failed. His only friend in the Autobot ranks is Override, though the two also consider themselves rivals.

Dogfight's body is filled to the brim with weapons, from guided missile launchers in his arms to sharpened wings that can cut through any known metal, and he can even transform into a giant fusion blaster equipped with hi-tech aiming systems that distinguish friends from foes and ensure absolute accuracy. Even with this firepower at his disposal, he's careful not to fire until the enemy is close enough that he can see the rivets on their bodies. Dogfight's preferred strategies are dancing a chaotic "dance of death" with Decepticons and then ramming them in jet mode in the confusion, and transforming into robot mode in mid-air and dropping onto his foes from above.

Adventure Dogfight is a redeco of Combiner Wars Viper, transforming into a modified-for-legal-reasons approximation of an A-10 Thunderbolt II assault plane with a color scheme based on Generation 1 Dogfight. He can also transform into a multi-barreled cannon that can be held by larger toys. Dogfight was only available as a Transformers Generations 2015 mail-in exclusive in a two-pack with Runamuck.

This mold was originally used to make Combiner Wars Powerglide and redecoed into Adventure Powerglide.
