Revision as of 18:07, 12 September 2009
- Aero Raid is an Autobot from the Japanese Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Autobot Cyberjet known as Aero Raid was once a member of the Decepticon Cyberjet team. However, centuries of war began to change his opinion on right and wrong, so along with fellow Cyberjets Jetfire and Strafe, he switched sides. This betrayal of the Decepticon faction has earned him the undying scorn of the remaining Decepticon Cyberjets.
Aero Raid excels at fitting into impossibly small places and finding obscure, secret passages (or simply making them, himself). So, naturally, infiltration is his strong-suit, though he's known to come in handy for search and rescue operations (just make sure to thank him properly when he finds you).
Fiction
G-2 story pages and minicomics
Aero Raid was once a member of the Decepticon Cyberjets. However, years of fighting began to wear on him and alter his views about the war. He eventually switched sides to the Autobots, along with Jetfire and Strafe. Unfortunately, three Decepticon Cyberjets chose to stay behind. Viewing him as a traitor, they swore vengeance. G-2 Part 4
While infiltrating a Decepticon base, Road Rocket was spotted by Road Pig and his troops. Road Pig cornered Road Rocket in a dead end hallway with the Autobot greatly out-numbered. Suddenly, Aero Raid burst out of a vent shaft, offering back-up to his comrade. Road Rocket, being the stoic that he is, was less than grateful. G-2 #14
Dreamwave comics continuity
Aero Raid is part of the crowd at one of Prowl's many longwinded speeches that didn't go down too well with the recently-liberated Cybertronian populace. Skyfire
With the Aerialbot Air Raid being deactivated on Earth, and Skyjack having flame-deco that's not present here, one can only assume that it's Aero Raid. Or, one can write it off as an Easter egg gone bad... but that's no fun.
Toys
Generation 2
- Aero Raid (Cyberjet, 1995)
- Japanese ID number: TRF-14
- Accessories: 3 missiles
- Aero Raid was a redeco of the Cyberjet Skyjack, transforming into an F-117A Nighthawk stealth jet. He features a pressure-launch missile launcher that becomes his right arm in robot mode. His non-loaded missiles can be stored in clips on the undersides of his wings. He comes with an extra decal sheet, giving you some customization options, including "battle damage" markings.
- The toy is identical to the Generation 2 Cyberjet version of Air Raid. It was later redecoed as the 2004 Universe version of Air Raid, and Robot Masters Delta Seeker.
