Beat the Autobots with this one weird trick. (Hint: it's cheating.)

Terradivedelights in using every dirty trick to claim victory against theAutobots,even destroying human landmarks to distract them. The only thing he likes more is claiming all the glory for said victory. He's quite skilled in personal combat, as well; he is highly adept in the use of his trident, although he'll lose his nerve if he's disarmed. His fellow Decepticons secretly loathe him, except for his only friendJetblade.Terradive won't hesitate to use his naive admirer as cannon fodder if the situation warrants it, but he truly does appreciate Jetblade's friendship.[1]

With Jetblade, Terradive has hidden amongst Earth aircraft, but when they spot the slow-movingTomahawk,the temptation to strike may just be too strong for a glory hound like Terradive to resist.[2]

Hunt for the DecepticonsTerradive transforms into a forward-swept wing fighter jet based on theSukhoi Su-47.In robot mode, he is armed with a polearm weapon, which can transform between a trident and a spear and stores viaC jointclip on his underside in jet mode, or on the back of his left shoulder in robot mode. (This clip is a bit of a reversal from the norm, as the clip is permanently attached to the robot, and the spear weapon is the 3mm bar.) As his jet thrusters swing around to become his hands, they can be left in vehicle configuration to simulate movie-style blasters.
The trident's middle hinge is prone to breakage thanks to theincrediblythin plastic having tolerance issues. It's probablynotGold Plastic Syndromedespite the trident being made of metallic gold plastic because it snaps off rather than crumbling into dust, butbe careful.
TheTakaraTomyversion of Terradive has red stripes on his wings rather than white.
