The name or term "Skydive" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Skydive (disambiguation).
Skydive is an Autobot Aerialbot from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family (via the 2003 Universe toyline).
All things considered, "Skydive" is probably not the best name for a passenger jet.

Skydive is a member of the Micromaster Aerialbots, who combine into Superion.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

In Aurex 1104.30-DB Zeta (a highly Primax-influenced universe), Skydive was born from Dr. Brian Jones's attempts at reverse-engineering Maximus combiner technology and applying it to Mini-Con anatomy. Superion, Defensor, and Rail Racer fought Devastator in the Combiner Wars during the Unicron Singularity crisis. Ask Vector Prime, 31/7/2015

Toys

Universe (2003)

  • Skydive (Micromaster Aerialbot, 2007)
    • Accessories: Superion head and left fist
Skydive is a redeco of the Sixwing component Supersonic, transforming into a Super Sonic Transport plane (the same alternate mode as the original Silverbolt, opening up the possibility that the two's names were swapped - that, or somebody just didn't care). He forms the left arm of the Aerialbots' combined mode Superion.
Though the Micromaster Aerialbots were apparently originally slated as KB Toys exclusives, they barely showed up in the ever-shrinking chain. They saw more general release in Europe, and in the States, finally began showing up in other chains like CVS drug stores and Big Lots!.
The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Skydive compatible with Powerlinx ports.

Cybertron
