'''Direct-Hit''' is the leader of the [[Battle Squad]], but he may have been promoted to the level of his incompetence. In the short-term, he stalks his targets with skill and tenacity, often bringing in the kill. However, he rarely thinks about the long term, which cripples his strategic planning.<ref>''[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]''</ref>

His [[combiner]] partner is [[Power Punch (G1)|Power Punch]].

'''Power Punch''' is utterly loyal to his [[combiner]] partner, [[Direct-Hit (G1)|Direct-Hit]], and serves as his second-in-command on the [[Battle Squad]]. This loyalty blinds him to Direct-Hit's shortcomings as a leader, so he blames the team's poor performance on the other members.

[[Image:MeltdownBoxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Fon''don't''!]]

'''Meltdown''' is full of rage. His battle plan (regardless of what his commander, [[Direct-Hit (G1)|Direct-Hit]], orders him to do) is always to charge right in, ramming his opponents, then transforming to robot mode to bludgeon them to death. He regards this as a perfectly sensible approach to anger management.<ref>''[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' #4</ref>

* Meltdown and Half-Track are unique among the Micromaster Combiner molds in that as individuals, they actually transform into fully-functional separate vehicles rather than half of a vehicle.

[[Image:FireshotBoxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"You! What are you looking at? Stay back!"]]

'''Fireshot''' is the archetype of paranoia being a self-fulfilling prophecy. He spends all his time gathering intel, to find out who's talking about him behind his back. The result is that his teammates ''are'' talking about him behind his back — they're laughing at the notion that he's important enough for anyone to be plotting against him in the first place.<ref>''[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' #2</ref>

He can, of course, be connected to any other [[Micromaster Combiner]], although in his case this does makes no sense, as Vanquish is the only one he forms an actual vehicle with.

: Fireshot was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Vanquish, [[Direct-Hit (G1)|Direct-Hit]], [[Half-Track (G1)|Half-Track]], [[Meltdown (G1)|Meltdown]] and [[Power Punch (G1)|Power Punch]].

The [[Micromaster Combiner]] '''Battle Squad''' is central to the [[Decepticon]]s' off-radar defense. When they band together with a cybernetic compressor, their firepower is incredible. Aided by their advanced visual tracking systems, they can annihilate anything in a three-mile radius. If an [[Autobot]] spacecraft vanishes from radar screens, the Battle Squad is usually the culprit. When they separate, however, they tend to spend their time taking potshots at one another.<ref>[http://www.botchthecrab.com/archive/techspecs/decepticon/1990/ts_battle_squad.jpg On-package bio]</ref>

:The Battle Squad was sold as a blister-packaged six pack. The team forms three military-themed vehicles, and shares a common color palette of purple, black, magenta, red and light blue.

: Members from this team were used — without alteration — to make the Japanese [[Autobot]] [[Crane Cannon W Team]] and the [[Jet Tank W Team]].

[[Image:VanquishBoxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]

'''Vanquish''' is the silent partner in his [[combiner]] relationship with [[Fireshot (G1)|Fireshot]]. He prefers to fly under the radar, both figuratively and literally, and achieves his goals by going unnoticed. He stays on Fireshot's good side, in case he should ever achieve his goal of replacing [[Direct-Hit (G1)|Direct-Hit]] as team leader of the [[Battle Squad]].<ref>''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' #7</ref>
