“Fight and Flight!”
    —Air Strike's official catchphrase

Air Strike and Birdie are an Air elemental falconer Sensei and his Blue Zephyr Falcon friend in Skylanders: Imaginators that teach Imaginators of the Brawler Class. They are available in the Gryphon Park Observatory Adventure Pack.

Background

Biography

Before he began training Brawlers, Air Strike trained birds – especially the rare Blue Zephyr Falcons. They were once one of Skylands' most endangered species, but Air Strike taught them how to defend themselves from predators... and not fly into windows. Birds would come from all over Skylands to learn his proven techniques. But despite their new defensive skills, the Blue Zephyr Falcons continued to be hunted by a band of evil trolls, who liked to use their eggs in blue-bacon omelets. So it was time for Air Strike to strike back! He journeyed to the peak of the Zephyr Mountain and single-handedly took down the trolls, rescuing the stolen eggs. After returning them to their mother, one of the eggs hatched, revealing a very energetic Falcon that would not leave his side. Air Strike named him “Birdie” – and together, they now use their skills to train Skylanders, despite Master Eon’s crippling fear of falcons.

Trivia

  • Air Strike and Birdie are one of the few playable duos in Skylanders (other duos are Fright Rider, Eye-Brawl, Eye-Small, Rocky Roll, Shrednaught and Bad Juju with Juju Junior).
  • Birdie's bladed wings and feet resemble Blades' weaponry.
    • He also caws with the same sound as Whiskers.
  • The duo has a peculiar magic moment - Air Strike enters the game facing the wrong way before correcting himself, and Birdie enters it offscreen before flying to his friend.
  • In prototype versions of their figure, Birdie was a bright cyan.
  • When first placed on the portal, Air Strike grants Imaginators backpack wings that resemble Birdie's, and knuckles fashioned after metal wings when his Shrine is opened.
  • Air Strike is the only Sensei who doesn't use any kind of weapon in combat, as other Brawlers have wrist blades (King Pen), gloves with metal knuckles (Crash Bandicoot) or large natural gauntlets (Grave Clobber).
  • When Air Strike is driving a vehicle, Birdie is absent.
  • Air Strike is the first air Skylander to have Air in his name.
  • Air Strike shares many physical similarities with Tread Head, including proportions, stature and facial features.
  • Air Strike's catchphrase is a reference to the survival instinct that prepares one for either fighting or fleeing a life or death situation.
