## Airstrike

"Airstrike is such a bitch I love him" - Steve 2023

Airstrike is an Autobot who can transform into a Harrier Jump Jet from the Primax 817.12 Lambda stream.

### History

Airstrike was forged near the end of his universe's war. The conflicts were coming to a close, so he wasn't able to see many of the horrors committed by both sides. He fought enthusiastically for the Autobots, fighting the battles that led to the surrender of Megatron, as well as the defeat of Unicron. After the fighting ended, he found himself lost. Desperately wanting to do something with his life, he begged and begged increasingly more influential Autobot leaders, until one day Rodimus Prime got so tired of receiving data pads every day that he let him go to Earth.

### Arrival to the Axiom

Airstrike arrived to the Axiom Nexus through a portal in the fields of Ground Zero. He finds an injured Fullbright, and flies her back to Metroplex City. He tried to touch every single piece of equipment that Ratchet had, much to the displeasure of the medic. In an attempt to get rid of Airstrike, Ratchet tells him to go meet with Optimus Prime.

Optimus and Airstrike go on a mission to the Sea of Rust to find more Energon for Metroplex. There, they are attacked by Nemesis Prime, and end up not bringing back any Energon.

Airstrike then joins the mission with Optimus, Twinsteel, Landmine and Jazz to retrieve the relic from the Decepticons. Airstrike fights with Abominus, distracting him so Twinsteel can do the actual damage. After the combiner proves too much, Airstrike is forcefully combined with Twinsteel and his team, becoming the leg of Megabyte.

Arriving back to Metroplex after the mission is a failure, Airstrike first gets upgraded by Ratchet with his Energon Axe and other modifications, before snooping around Optimus' room and learning the history of the Uniend 911.05 Alpha stream. He is interrupted by Breakaway, and joins a group in the Central Citadel, preparing to attack Trypticon Station. There, he assists Kestrel, giving him cover, before engaging in a fight with Novastorm that left Airstrike incapacitated.

Airstrike soon recovered, and under the suggestion of Ratchet, helped Grimlock on the mission to locate Predaking. They get attacked by Nemesis Prime again, and the false Prime offers Airstrike a choice: admit that both sides have corruption, and abandon the Autobots. Airstrike is unable to decide, and so stabs himself the Corona Glaive that Nemesis gave him. Slug drags Airstrike back to Ratchet, after the grave Dark Energon overexposure.

Airstrike gets fixed up, and asks Ratchet about the history of Autobots. He offers a brief overview, but suggests Airstrike talk to Megatron to get a better viewpoint. Megatron instead uses Airstrike to transport Energon back to Metroplex City, delighting in torturing the bot. Airstrike takes up a job as an ambassador to Decepticon City, and goes with Wheeljack. But he has an ulterior motive - he wants to get revenge of Novastorm.

### Notes

* Airstrike graduated "Third Best Flier" at the academy. There were two fliers.
* Despite being very, very annoying, he's trying his best, and isn't that what matters?
* The missiles on his forearms are the same from his jet mode. They do need to reload after being fired, which takes a while.
* Novastorm HATES him for some reason.
* All his friends keep dying, and he feels like it's his fault.
