The Aerialbots are a type of Transformers introduced in the 1980s cartoon series. They are Cybertronians with the ability to transform into flying vehicles and act as aerial support to their Autobot counterparts.
They transform into Earth-style aircraft and combine to form Superion. They are the mortal enemies of the Stunticons.
