Toys
Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers
- Airport Base (Micro Transformer Station, 1990)
- ID number: C-342
- Accessories: 2 missiles, ramp
- Released in the Zone portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Overair is identical to the Hasbro-release Decepticon Airwave, transforming into a Grumman F-14D Tomcat fighter jet.
- He was only available packaged with the Airport Base set, itself identical to Hasbro's airport base.
- This mold was also used to make the Hasbro Decepticon Nightflight and Overair's fellow Zone Autobot Nightflight.
War for Cybertron: Siege
- Autobots vs. Decepticons (Micromaster multi-pack, 2019)
- ID number: WFC-S59
- Siege Overair is a redeco of Storm Cloud, transforming into a vaguely-Cybertronic jet. As part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, he can also form the hilt of the "Ultra-Sonic Shredder Blade" short sword when combined with his pack-in partner Ground Shaker (or any other iteration of that mold).
- He was only available as part of a Target exclusive ten-pack of Micromasters, which includes the Autobots Ground Shaker, Irontread, Ricon, Road-Police, and Wheel Blaze, and the Decepticons Cratermaker, Fireline, Nightflight, and Slyhopper (who uses the same mold as Overair). Perhaps surprisingly, he and Nightflight do not share a mold.
Notes
- Hasbro presumably chose to use the "Overair" name in Siege to free up "Airwave" for the now-sentient facility (released in Earthrise as a Modulator), and because the Micromaster toy needed to be an Autobot to combine with Ground Shaker. However, when they redecoed the Modulator Airwave as an Autobot, they gave the result the name Overair too (once again, it seems, for faction-based reasons), resulting in some confusion.
