Superion is an Autobot combiner in Generation 1 continuity.
Superion is the combined form of the Aerialbots: Silverbolt, Air Raid, Fireflight, Skydive, and Slingshot. In his combined form, his thought capacity is reduecd to two things: destroy the Decepticons, and protect the humans. Because of this, he sometimes has difficulty adapting to new situations.

After Silverbolt showed how Sparkplug was able to disregard his fatigue out of concern for Omega Supreme's well-being, thus demonstrating that humans were worth saving, the Aerialbots joined the Autobots in battle against Megatron's Stuncticons. The Decepticon leader, seeing his new warriors being outmaneuvered, ordered them to merge and form Menasor. The Aerialbots countered to form Superion.
At first, Superion was able to match Menasor, but the Decepticon combiner's sheer aggression soon saw the Autobot on the defensive until he was trapped. As Menasor moved in for the kill, the newly-repaired Omega Supreme suddenly appeared, helping Superion free. Together, they defeated Menasor and sent the Decepticons into retreat.
Sometime afterwards, back on Cybertron, Superion had to fight against a damaged Guardian robot, whose immense strength pinned the Autobot down until he managed to knock the drone into the sky, destroying it.
