F-4 Phantom is an homage to Generation 1 Fireflight. He had the same alternate mode and color scheme as Fireflight.
He combines with the other members of his team for form Uranos, where he becomes the right arm.
He should not be confused with another third party Transformer toy, the Phantom of Screamer Set.
