Blackbolt loves to fly. From the moment he came online, he took to the sky, and would never come down if he could help it. Optimus Prime put him in charge of the Aerialbots, hoping to give him some sense of responsibility, but Blackbolt couldn't care less about his teammates, as long as they stay out of his way in the air. He has a strong need to prove himself "King of the Air" and will attack anyone who gets too close to him, friend or foe.
