This article is about the Autobot jet fighter from the Fall of Cybertron game franchise. For the other Autobot jet fighter of the same name from the preceding game, see Air Raid (WFC).

Air Raid is an Autobot from the Fall of Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.

That Autobot sigil on his chest seemed like a good idea at the time, but he forgot to check how it'd look in jet mode.

Air Raid's fascination with the natural beauty of his surroundings causes him to be distracted enough to severely impair his gunnery skills. He makes up for this with copious amounts of flak, hoping that will prevent the enemy from advancing.

Toys

Generations

• Air Raid (Deluxe, 2012?)

Accessories: Cannon/sword, sword/hilt

Air Raid will be a redeco and retool of Generations Fall of Cybertron Shockwave, with a new head, chest, and weapons. Transforming into a cybertronic jet, he would have come with a sword that could be stored on top of the jet in vehicle mode, and a hand-held cannon which can also transform into a sword, as well as form the fuselage of the vehicle. However, during San Diego Comic-Con 2012, the toy that had previously been named Fireflight was re-named to Air Raid with no explanation. In Japan, a redeco of the toy is still being released in the United line as Fireflight, but presumably as G1 Fireflight.

Notes

• Air Raid's colors, personality, and pre-production name indicate he was apparently meant to be an homage to Generation 1 Fireflight.
