 * Shade is a redeco of the Air Defense Mini-Con Team member Sonar, transforming into a VentureStar concept shuttle. He also forms the hilt to the Dark Saber sword, which can be held by any other Transformer that has 5mm fist-holes.  This toy is largely identical to the Hasbro "Air Assault" version of Sonar, but uses transparent plastic with a hint of purple instead of the Hasbro version's opaque off-white.  He came with his partners Jack and Mad.


 * This mold was also retooled to make Energon Skyboom, Lens, and Cybertron Mini-Con Ramjet.
