Terradive is the name to three fictional characters in the Transformers universes.
The first Transformer with the name Terradive was a Decepticon who was able to transform into a black A-7 Corsair II aircraft. Terradive was part of the Skyscorchers sub-group and his function is that of an Advance Fighter. He was a simple basic toy and had no gimmicks. He is described as the not-very-intelligent muscle of the Skyscorchers.
Terradive's sole appearance in official fiction is in the U.K. Generation 2 comic series. Terradive was part of Bludgeon's forces sent to Earth to smash stuff as a ploy to draw out Optimus Prime. When Megatron appeared to take back Decepticon leadership, Windrazor retrieved Eagle Eye and Terradive, who were attacking a squad of Autobots, so they could tackle Megatron. Things didn't go too well for Terradive then. When the Dinobots arrived, Snarl shot Terradive down. He was presumably taken prisoner by the Autobots afterwards.
Terradive was featured in the 1993 Transformers: Generation 2 coloring book "Decepticon Madness" by Bud Simpson.
Terradive was a minor background character appearing in Fun Publications fiction "Gone too Far", a text-based story set on Transtech Cybertron.
He was also a minor background character in Generation 2: Redux, serving among Clench's Decepticons.
Ten years after the first Terradive, the name was used again, this time for a Mini-Con. Terradive could transform into a SR-71 Blackbird jet and also a weapon mode that resembled a three-pronged claw. Terradive was sold in a pack of three as part of the Air Military Mini-Con Team.
Terradive loves to fly and gets a kick out of buzzing those on the ground. He is the best pilot of his team and has the most powerful engines, but also needs the most maintenance.
Although he did appear in the Transformers: Armada cartoon, these appearances were only a few cameos.
Terradive appeared in episode #49, called "Alliance." He is among the Mini-Cons assisting the Autobots and Decepticons evacuating from Cybertron when it was attacked by Unicron.
Terradive had a biography printed in issue #1 of the Armada More Than Meets The Eye series by Dreamwave Productions.
