Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Superion shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Superion offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Superion at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Superion? Wrong! If the Superion is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Superion then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Superion? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Superion and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Superion wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Superion then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Superion site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Superion, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Superion, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
Superion is the name given to three different characters in the
Transformers universes.
Transformers: Generation 1 (1986)
{{Transformers character|name =Superion

Transformers: Generation 2 (1st voice)
[Ed Gilbert (2nd voice)]-->
Superion is the first Autobot special team to be created, and is the Autobots' first combiner, formed from five smaller robots who are able to transform into fighter-jets and planes. http://www.seibertron.com/database/character.php?view=&char_id=75
Members:
He is also considered the Autobots' best Combiner in terms of combat. Unlike the first combiner,
Constructicons; this type of combiner Transformer (more commonly known as a "
Scramble City" combiner, or scrambler for short) has one leader who is able to form the body and four smaller limbs, which can form either an arm or a leg. While the four members who make up the limbs are interchangeable with each other, in various Transformers fiction, Superion is traditionally portrayed with having Fireflight forming the right arm, Slingshot as the left arm, Skydive is the right leg and Air Raid is the left leg. In the Marvel Comics and Superion's original and
Transformers: Generation 2 instructions, the positions of Fireflight and Slingshot as arms and Air Raid and Skydive as legs are swapped, with the latter making up the arms.
Superion has two simple goals that dominate his every action: one, to destroy the Decepticons and two, to protect others. His thoughts are a combination of all five Aerialbots distilled to their respective cores, with anything not relating to his primary function being suppressed. Because of his single-minded attitude, the other Autobots find Superion to be distant and unfeeling. In reality, he acts this way because he cares so much about his mission that he is willing to sacrifice everything else for it.
Superion utilizes combiner technology to merge all five Aerialbots' bodies and minds into a single super-robot. Able to fly at speeds of 800 miles per hour for a distance of 5,800 miles. Immensely strong, a single blow from his fist can crush a full-size battleship, wields Silverbolt's electrostatic discharger rifle, which emits blasts of 150,000 volts of electricity. He is resistant to most Earth and Cybertronian artillery.
The seams where the five Aerialbots merge are Superion's primary physical weaknesses, while his stripped-down thought process makes it difficult for him to think creatively or adapt during combat.
Marvel Comics
The Aerialbots were created on Earth by Wheeljack and given life by Optimus Prime using the Matrix. After their initial mission was deemed a failure due to only Silverbolt's personality being stabilized (with Superion nearly killing a human), Optimus Prime had their minds wiped clean and all five Aerialbots given life once again. Unbeknownst to Prime, the
Insecticons Bombshell (Transformers) piggy-backed aboard Silverbolt, and attempted to inject a
cerebro-shell into an open wound Prime incurred earlier. The shell allowed Bombshell to transmit Prime's thoughts -- and the Matrix's creation process -- to Megatron and Soundwave, allowing them to bring life to the
Stunticons. (Transformers #21-22.)
Toys
Besides there being a recolor of Generation One Superion, there is a rare Generation Two Superion produced which turned into a watch.
Transformers: Energon (2005)

Although Superion Maximus did appear in the Energon cartoon, the limbs were seemingly portrayed as just non-sentient drones without any ability to transform, and only served as armor for
Storm Jet.

Transformers: Generation 1Transformers: Universe|voiceby =-->The Japanese Micromaster combiner known as Sixwing was repainted and released as a set of Autobots who could merge to become Superion. Unlike the Generation One Superion, this Micromaster version is made up of six Autobots
- Silverbolt - Jet - redeco of Falcon.
- Air Raid (Transformers) - Jet - redeco of Missile Run.
- Fireflight (Transformers) - Jet
- Skydive (Transformers) - Jet - Redeco of Supersonic.
- Ro-Tor - Helicopter - redeco of Chaingun.
- Storm Jet - Space shuttle - redeco of Raker.
Although four of the individual team members’ names are from the original Aerialbot team, they may not be the same characters. It is also possible they are these are just US names for the Japanese Sixwing characters.
Energon Aerialbots Storm Jet and Windrazor were repackaged into the Universe line in 2005.
