  • Japanese ID number: AA-14
  • Accessories: Trident/Spear

• Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)

Terradive transforms into a forward-swept wing fighter jet based on the Sukhoi Su-47. In robot mode, he is armed with a polearm weapon, which can transform between a trident and a spear and stores via C joint clip 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 the incredibly thin plastic having tolerance issues. It's probably not Gold Plastic Syndrome despite the trident being made of metallic gold plastic because it snaps off rather than crumble into dust, but be careful.

The TakaraTomy version of Terradive has red stripes on his wing rather than white.

This toy was redecoed into Timelines Depth Charge and Starscream and Dark of the Moon Space Case, the latter of which sports the alternate head sculpt that was already depicted in Terradive's instructions.
