Fiction

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

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.

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.

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