Airlift (TF 2010)

This article is about the 2010 Transformers toyline Decepticon/Mini-Con. For the Power Core Combiners Mini-Con, see Airlift (PCC).

Airlift is a Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family or a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).

Airlift transforms into a gray airplane. Sometimes he is a Mini-Con and a member of the Special Operations Team with Reachout and Diveplane; other times he is a Micromaster.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Vector Prime first noticed Airlift in Aurex 503.01 Gamma, but noted that a Micromaster version of him existed in Primax 209.0 Gamma, and at least some of his compatriots existed as full-sized Autobots and Decepticons in Primax 1005.19 Gamma. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/24

Toys

Transformers (2010)

• Minicon 8 Pack (Multipack, 2010)
  • Accessories: 2 missiles

Airlift is a redeco of Cybertron Overcast, transforming into a Martin P6M SeaMaster flying boat bomber. Each arm ends in a pressure-fire missile launcher. He was only available as part of the European-market exclusive "Minicon 8 Pack" box set with Buckshot, Ironside, Barrel Roll, Iron Claw, Diveplane, Heavy-Liftor, and Reachout.

This mold was also used to make Astro-Line. The hypothetical Blue Max would've also used this mold, but there's no evidence that figure was ever intended for release in the first place.

• Airlift (Mini-Con, 2013)
  • Accessories: 2 missiles

Airlift was later on put on an individual card and released at closeout chains like Family Dollar, with no notable changes to the toy itself.

Notes

• The Minicon[sic] 8 Pack gives no indication whatsoever what continuity these eight Mini-Cons hail from.
  • In 2015, the Facebook edition of "Ask Vector Prime" simultaneously established the pack members as Unicron Trilogy Mini-Cons and Generation 1 sometimes-Micromasters.
