  • Sky Shadow (Basic, 2004)
Team ID number: A2
Sky Shadow shares a mold with his teammate Terradive, transforming into an A-10 "Thunderbolt" plane. He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the right leg to Superion Maximus. He comes with a shield/double-blaster that can become a footplate or "hand" for his combined mode, plus a blue "super energon" Autobot-style energon chip.
This mold was also used to make Cybertron Skyfall.
  • Superion (Multi-pack, 2004)
Japanese ID number: SC-26
In Japan, Sky Shadow (aka "Sling") 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.


Trivia

  • Sky Shadow is the only member of the Air Team who wasn't repackaged and re-released on a Universe card for discount-chain sale.
