Powerdive
Unit: Destron

“I’ll reduce the Cybertrons to smithereens with a single shot.”

When converting to helicopter mode, this gunship shoots rapid-fire ordnance propellers with such accuracy and speed that no one can outrun or outmanoeuvre their destructive power. Power diving in robot mode he's just as dangerous.

With a twisted mind, he devises hideous attack methods that can astonish even veteran Decepticons! He lives in a world of his own, horribly plotting his next move. He can surprise with fast-action water power as a car, and convert to an equally well-armed attack soldier.

Jet Storm
Unit: Destron

"The best thing in life is sweet revenge."
He is a bully, a tyrant, and universally hated because he tries to get his way all the time, if he doesn't he becomes extremely vengeful.
