Air Raid Allegiance: Autobot Subgroup: Aerielbot Function: Warrior First Appearance: Comic-Transformers #21 Cartoon-The Key to Vector Sigma Part 2 "If you look first you may not Leap" Profile: Air Raid loves surprises. He prefers to suddenly streak into a cluster of Decepticons, whether they're air-borne or on the ground, over shooting at them from long range. "That always sparks their wires a bit," he laughs. Of all the Aerielbots, his tactics are the most fearless, although some might callthem rash and foolish. No matter – his gung-ho wild-eyed personality legitimizes either viewpoint. At the core of his actions is one goal that drives him above all else – he wants to have fun! And no matter what he's involved in, he achieves that goal – even in the middle of a war. Abilities: Air Raid can fly at speeds of up to Mach 2.5 and has a range of 1500 miles. He can shoot air-to-air heat-seeking missiles and, in robot mode, carries a torque rifle whose beam can apply up to 80,000 psi of rotational force to any object. Only the strongest materials can withstand warping and breaking under such pressure. He combines with his fellow Aerielbots to form the giant known as Superion. Weaknesses: His reckless behavior otften leaves Air Raid exsposed to greater odds than he can reasonably expect to handle.
