I feel the need...the need for speed!

Maverick is a member of the Aerial Extermination Mini-Con Team, and a personal attendant to Nemesis Prime. Staunchly loyal to Unicron's goals, this assassin strikes silently and unseen, like a ninja in the night. Unfortunately, while he absolutely despises his teammates, he can't do anything to them, so he suffers in solitary silence.[1]

  • Air Assault Micron (Mini-Con 3-pack, 2003)
  • ID number: MM-17
  • Release date: August 14, 2003
Released in the sixth wave of Takara's Legend of the Microns product, Shade is a redeco of the Air Defense Mini-Con Team member Sonar: he's largely identical to the Hasbro "Air Assault" version of Sonar, but uses transparent plastic with a hint of purple instead of Sonar's opaque off-white. He transforms into a VentureStar concept shuttle, plus he forms the hilt to the Dark Saber sword, which can be held by any other Transformer that has 5 mm fist-holes.
He came in a three-pack with his partners Jack and Mad.
This mold was also retooled to make Energon Skyboom, Lens, and Cybertron Mini-Con Ramjet.

  • Air Assault Mini-Con Team (Mini-Con 3-pack, 2003)
The Armada Air Assault Sonar toy implicitly doubles as the Earth Wars version of Maverick.
A "tainted by evil" redeco of the team released by Hasbro, this version of the trio replaces the transparent plastic with opaque off-white, the other colors turning predominantly black and purple.
