The Air Team is an Autobot subgroup from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Wait, we can separate?!

The Autobot Air Team is a squad of high-flying jets fueled by Super Energon, who combine to form the legendary super robot Superion Maximus.

Its members include:

Fiction

Energon cartoon

[edit]

After the first defeat of Unicron, Omega Supreme and the four guardian combiners fell into a deep stasis, ending the first age of Cybertron. The four combiners were chosen to guard an ancient fuel at the core of Cybertron known as Super Energon. As stated by Megatron, they seem to have actually fought to a standstill and slipped into stasis. Ambition

Superion's brother may have acted as a living seal to lock the Super Energon away; his death caused the other three guardians to return to life, as well as the emergence of the Super Energon, which filled the pool below. Escaping Galvatron, who had reformatted himself and convinced the other combiners to aid him, Superion Maximus would join the Autobots on Cybertron, fighting to take back control of the planet from Galvatron and his minions. Galvatron!

Ever walk a mile in another man's limbs?

Superion Maximus met his apparent demise after a final encounter with Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus. During that battle, he destroyed Constructicon Maximus, pinning him to a wall by ejecting his four limbs and physically attacking his spark. Angered, Bruticus Maximus attacked him and began to crush him in his hands. Just as it seemed hopeless, a ghost-like entity appeared and shot off Bruticus's arm, freeing Superion. It was an image of his older brother.

Superion Maximus, now reduced to just the central combiner robot, powerlinked with Constructicon Maximus's limbs and attacked the confused Bruticus, piercing his spark, and causing a massive explosion which destroyed the remaining Decepticon. Spark

Superion was last seen laying against the wall where Constructicon Maximus was killed earlier, still powerlinked to his limbs. His eyes showed a flicker of light as the Energon Sun exploded nearby, bathing the universe in light. The Sun

Similar to Generation 1's Scramble City-style combiner teams, the Air Team (as well as the Construction Team and Destruction Team) feature universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs between different teams. There are only two different molds used for the limbs, with Sky Shadow and Terradive sharing one and Treadshot and Windrazor using the other.
For their Hasbro-market releases, the five members of the team were only released as individuals, split across a few waves of product.
The Air Team as a whole was redecoed into the 2008 Universe Aerialbots, who were later sold as the Revenge of the Fallen Aerialbots. Two of the molds were separately redecoed into Club-exclusive Nexus Maximus limbs: Sky Shadow/Terradive were used for Skyfall while Treadshot/Windrazor were used for Breakaway.

In Japan, the Air Team was only made available as part of a complete Superion gift set. There are minor deco differences in the Japanese version of the team; see the individual entires for more information on those changes.

  • Storm Jet (Deluxe, 2005)
  • Terradive (Basic, 2005)
  • Treadshot (Basic, 2005)
  • Windrazor (Basic, 2005)
All Air Team members except Sky Shadow were repackaged on 2003 Universe-themed cards and sold through discount chains in the US like Big Lots!.
No mention of their combining ability was made on the cardbacks, likely due to the missing member of the team.
