Day 225: Terradive

Terradive is the last of the Skyscorchers, released in 1993 in Europe as part of Generation One. He turns into a Ling-Temco-Vought A-7E Corsair II jet. Unlike the other Skyscorchers, his name wasn't changed when his toy was released in the US that same year as Generation Two. As a result, there's a Generation Two drawing of the  same character here from earlier this year . 

Day 224: Snipe

Snipe is a Decepticon Skyscorcher released in Europe at the tail end of Generation One, in 1993, when the US had already shifted to Generation Two branding. He turns into a Lockheed F-104G Starfighter jet. When he was released in the US in 1993, he was renamed Afterburner. A drawing of that version - identical in every way but name -   is here . 

Day 223: Tornado

From the Skyscorcher ranks is Tornado, a Decepticon who turns into an F-16 Fighting Falcon. He was released in the late Generation One series in 1993 in Europe, but in the US he was part of the Generation Two line and  named Windrazor . 

Day 222: Hawk

Kicking off a line of Skyscorchers, Decepticon jets from late in the Generation One line, this is Hawk, Decepticon infiltrator. He turns into a Eurofighter Typhoon jet. He was available in Europe in 1993 as part of the original toyline, but in the US he was   renamed Eagle Eye , and released as a Generation Two character that same year.
