Jetblade

Jetblade is a Decepticon from the movie continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).

Jetblade likes to hide among human military aircraft. Years passed without him being discovered. He met a fellow Decepticon named Terradive and the two became friends, deciding to hide as long as they were able. Even so, they couldn't resist catching Tomahawk.^[1]

Hunt for the Decepticons Jetblade is a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Dirge. He converts into a slightly modified Harrier-like jet. He has two spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings or, in robot mode, onto his arms, though his left arm's kibble makes this an awkward fit. Jetblade features spinning gears on his nipples (so-called thrusters) when you lift his arms. The nosecone on Jetblade is made of a much softer rubber than on Dirge.

This mold was later retooled into BotCon 2013 Skywarp and Thundercracker.
