  • Treadshot (Basic, 2004)
Team ID number: A1
Treadshot shares a mold with his teammate Windrazor, transforming into a fighter jet of undetermined model. He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the right arm to Superion Maximus. He comes with two double-barreled guns and a connector piece, which can form hand-held weapons as well as become a footplate or "hand" for his combined mode, plus a blue "super energon" Autobot-style energon chip.
  • Superion (Multi-pack, 2004)
Japanese ID number: SC-26
In Japan, Treadshot (aka "Air Rider") was only made available as part of a complete Superion gift set. The two version are largely identical, the main difference being that the Takara release uses a darker clear-blue for the "energon" bits than the Hasbro version.
