Strategy[]
GX[]
AIRS is EASILY the best robo that the player has at his/her disposal in the game. It has enhanced Offense, Defense, and Speed (the best in the game). If you use his default parts, it will be VERY hard to take him down. Overall, an excellent robo. No wonder this robo is banned in normal tournaments.
|
Truly a force to be feared. This set was needed to take down Dark Chimera. | ||||||||||||||
Arena[]
AIRS was both nerfed and buffed during his transition from GX to Arena. He has much lower defense than in GX. However, his attack stat became THE best in the game. So, he is considered an Extreme Glass Cannon. As like all Military Grade parts, he is considered Illegal in normal play.
You don't need legs that make you jump high. You can just charge which sends you high up, so use another set of legs that improves another ability. Also, be cautious with this robo, because if your own attacks hit you, you will take severe damage because of your own high attack and low defense.
|
It may seem odd to have Carat Legs on this set but they add more mobility in exchange of distance. This is a high power versatile set. Use your gun when in range for a sweet spot. Bombs can be launched at anytime. And bombs, pods when flying away to keep foes back. | ||||||||||||||
|
The gun range for the G04 is rather limited. | ||||||||||||||
|
Charge to soar way up; the Feather Legs help you stay airborne longer. Then sky dash around while firing a pod-gun combo. It should be difficult for the enemy to dodge your bomb, gun and pod attacks beacause you are so high up. When you land, charge again to protect vulnerability and get in the air again. | ||||||||||||||
|
A quick and easy strategy, made up of illegal and military parts. Be sure for quick battles. | ||||||||||||||
|
Pretty easy set. Just set pods, then charge to rise, and shot. Winder Bomb can be used for damage and blocking. | ||||||||||||||
|
probably the first set I came up for this Robo the split second I got it. the Pod and Bomb are good for getting as much projectile on the field as possible, then Spam Eagle rounds in the Three Air Dashes you get and unless you're up against a very evasive unit, you shouldn't have TOO much trouble fighting. | ||||||||||||||

Trivia[]
- An insurgent is a rebel or one who revolts. In addition, anti means against.
- As such, AIRS was designed as a robo to stop revolts.
- This is also in reference to it being used to stop renegade commanders.
- Coincidentally, AIRS' name resembles Air, which ties with the fact that he is a Lightning Sky robo.
- AIRS heavily resembles Eiji, his creator.
- His transformation process is somewhat weird. His whole body and waist flip upside down, but his both arms and legs remain the same place. Also while in Garage, his pod will go over his back since his back faces upward, but during battle, it will be still located at the very back of the robo itself, unrotated. Ray Sky does the same because it is same robo with different color.
- AIRS is mandatory to complete GX, as he is the only robo capable of hurting Dark Chimera during the final battle at Nikaido's base.
- However, any robo can harm Dark Chimera during the Demon's Cup.
- AIRS appears with Jameson as a Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- Its description is as follows: "Highly illegal modified robos. The Jameson is based on the Lightning Sky. It and the A.I.R.S., a high-end Ray machine, can transform into fighter jets. The A.I.R.S. was developed for military use and thus cannot be used by all commanders. Both of these robos were available via DS Download Stations in Japan."
- In Arena, as AIRS is a Military-class robo chassis, alongside Carat, both him and his related parts are considered to be illegal.
