Air Raid (G1)
- Air Raid is an Autobot Aerialbot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Some might call Air Raid reckless, the way he dives out of nowhere, charging enemy units head on. Air Raid would laugh at that. A rash and fearless young warrior who loves surprises (especially those that leave his foes too stunned to fight back), he has only one real goal in life: to have fun. Needless to say his attitude puts him in a lot of danger, but you can be sure he's enjoying himself the whole time.
Air Raid combines with his fellow Aerialbots to form Superion.
Japanese name: Air Rider, Aero Raid (G2-different character)

(Note: in Japanese Generation 2, he is a different character named Aero Raid.)
While infiltrating a Decepticon base, Road Rocket was spotted by Road Pig and his troops. Road Pig cornered Road Rocket in a dead end hallway with the Autobot greatly out-numbered. Suddenly, Aero Raid burst out of a vent shaft, offering back-up to his comrade. Road Rocket, being the stoic that he is, was less than grateful.

- For the Universe line, the Cyberjet Air Raid was redecoed again and released in a two-pack with the Decepticon Cyberjet Wind Sheer at the Deluxe price point.
