“To live is to fight; to die is to stop.”

Profile: Superion is a fierce and frightful machine. As the collective
consciousness of the five Aerialbots, Air Raid, Skydive, Fireflight, Slingshot
and Silverbolt, he might find it confusing and unproductive to assimilate each
of his component personalities into one. Therefore, he suppresses much of what
is potentially more than he can handle and directs his thinking to one primary
purpose: the destruction of the Decepticons. And that’s about all he’s good
for. Little else interests him; he’s unlikely to even engage in conversation
about anything else. The other Autobots take this to be a cold and aloof attitude,
as if Superion held himself above them. In truth, it is the most Superion can
give of himself.

Abilities: Superion can fly at speeds up to 800 mph. His range is 5800
miles. His strength is formidable; he can demolish a battleship with one blow.
The stress fracture cannon he carries shoots a beam that locates and then overloads
the natural fracture lines in any object it hits. The result can be anything
from cracking open a peanut shell to causing a small earthquake.

Weaknesses: Superion finds it difficult to adapt to new situations and
to be innovative. His thought processes are too primitive to allow for such
higher mental functions. This often restricts him in battle. Although incredibly
strong and resistant to most artillery and beam weapons, he does have certain
“pressure points” – areas of structural weakness where one component
Aerialbot connects to the next – that are particularly vulnerable to attack.
