Where You've Seen ItEdit

What You Should KnowEdit
Mira's father, Professor Clay, created Altair in his lab. Altair is the first mechanical Bakugan. At first, it seemed like Altair would be impossible to beat. But Altair is a machine, and like any machine, it can break down. When Mira first battled Altair, a power overload caused it to shut down during battle. Altair has one other key weakness: Its sensors cannot keep track of multiple opponents in battle.
Ultimate HandbookEdit
Altair is the first mechanical Bakugan ever created. Professor Clay on New Vestroia built Altair and loaded it with impressive attack abilities. It can slash opponents with its sharp fangs and horns. It can fly swiftly with its wings or hover in mid-air. Red lenses in its eyes allow it to see-and attack-at night. In battle, Altair can shoot a hot blast of white steam from its mouth.
AnimeEdit
Bakugan: New VestroiaEdit
Altair, the first of the notorious Mechanical Bakugan, made its debut in Cyber Nightmare. A prototype of Altair was first found by Mira Fermin who watched as her father Professor Clay finalized it and transformed it into its ball form within the same laboratory and equipment used to detain Alpha Hydranoid. Later on, in the same episode, when Mira was discovered, the Bakugan was given to Lync Volan, who at the time had no Partner Bakugan. In the battle that ensued the scientists who created it constantly monitored its vitals. Altair proved to be undeniably powerful, as it was more than a match for both Mira and Thunder Wilda. However, Altair, being a prototype, revealed itself to have many fatal flaws, the most noticeable being that it couldn't successfully execute subsequent Double Abilities.
Despite this setback, Altair was not finished yet. The Vestal scientists at the lab used the data to make the necessary repairs and enhancements, making it even more powerful and upgrading its systems to allow it to combine with the next Mechanical Bakugan Wired to allow it to form Meta Altair. Despite its vast improvements, Altair only participated in three brawls on-screen and won none of them. In its battle against Baron Leltoy and his Partner Bakugan Mega Nemus, Altair and Wired were damaged beyond repair and put out of commission.
Despite its ultimate fate, Altair's designs were used and improved upon for Aluze, its "evolution" of sorts.

WeaknessesEdit
Altair had many flaws within its' system, being the prototype Mechanical Bakugan;
- Before Professor Clay made modifications on Altair, Double Abilites would drain a significant amount of power. This could cause it to collapse, fall from mid-flight, or in extreme cases, lose the battle due to overload.
- Altair's sensors cannot keep track of multiple fast moving opponents.
- Altair can barely get up when knocked down, leaving it highly vulnerable.
- Damaging Altair from the wings can give it a hard fall.
These factors are likely the reason why Altair never won any battles.

How to Connect Altair and Wired to form Meta AltairEdit
There are two methods to connect Altair and Wired:
- First method
- To connect Bakugan together open both completely including the feet.
- Take Wired and rotate the wings until facing inward. Fold the wings out.
- Move Wired's feet until exactly half-way unfolded.
- With Wired facing Altair's back, place the small prongs on Wired's feet into the slots located at rear of where Altair's feet close into.
- Second method (Anime)
- Open all parts on Altair and Wired.
- Connect Wired to the holes where Altair's feet are in closed form with the peg in Wired's feet.
- Use the gap between Wired's head and neck and connect to the bar between Altair's tail blades.
