Year: 2013
Allegiance: Autobot
Class: Voyager
Function: Aerial General
Control the air and you control the battle. Control the mind, you control the war.
Obsidian has a cunning mind adept at forming the most brilliant battlefield strategies. For the longest time, he stayed in the shadows carefully formulating the countermeasures that would enable the Autobots to wrest control of Cybertron away from Shockwave and Megatron. After Unicron´s attack in the year 2005, Obsidian led the Autobot forces who expelled the remaining Decepticons from the planet. Since becoming a more public figure, he has led many successful campaigns against Decepticon incursions of Cybertron and has been decorated with the highest military honors.
While Obsidian´s best-known weapon is his mind, he is also well trained in many forms of combat. He is a student of not just the history of the Cybertronian wars, but those of Earth and Nebulos as well. He even recently took a modified P-38 Lightening Earth plane as his alternate mode. He is an expert in low altitude aerial combat, and is capable of shelling the battlefields below with machine gun fire and ground penetrating missiles while also engaging enemy flyers in tremendous dogfights. In robot mode, Obsidian is skilled at Kratomechafora which allows a combatant to use an opponent's own physical strength against himself.

Please be aware that this is not a review, as I have never had this figure in hand. The pictures were provided by Fiend6669 and I have reviewed other versions of this toy, which are are linked below for reference.
Remarks: Obsidian is a retool of Hunt for the Decepticons Highbrow, (just like GDO Powerdive), getting a new head to serve as homage to Beast Machines Obsidian. He was part of the 2013 Botcon convention set "Machine Wars" and transforms into a P-38 Lightning. He is actually just the second figure (not counting repaints) for this Beast Machines character.
