The '''Stratotronic Jet''' is about the toughest [[Action Master]] vehicle I've ever flown, or my name isn't [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]!
This baby has it all! The maximum speed in an atmosphere is Mach 52—that's 52 times the speed of sound! It's got custom shielding that allows it to withstand the wind resistance. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! It's capable of functioning in the depth of outer space, for all your inter-solar system needs. Now, now, I know what you're thinking. "Sure, Gutcruncher, it's fast, but I need a vehicle that packs some PUNCH!" Well, you're in luck. This bad-boy has been custom modified by yours truly with the works; it has a full payload of fusion bombs and cruise missiles, and I can get you more for cheap. If you're on a budget, stick to the energy weapons, including particle beams, infrared-targeted laser cannons and MORE! 

BUT WAIT, THERE'S STILL MORE! Sometimes you just gotta get down and dirty, ya know? Well, if mobility isn't needed, this puppy converts into an absolutely devastating battle station. The power going to the jet engines is channeled into a fusion blaster cannon, and it also deploys a missile launcher for all your close combat needs. Of course, it being ground work, you might be closer to your targets than you like. That's ok. It comes equipped with a one-robot battle tank. Believe you me, nothing gets through that armor. Act now and I'll throw in a fully integrated pilotless surveillance drone, absolutely free!  

Now, what would you expect to pay for an absolute beauty like the Stratotronic Jet? 500,000 energon cubes? 1,000,000? Well, act now and it can be yours for the low, low price of 350,000 energon cubes! (Tax & title additional, subject to credit check.)

The amazing firepower of this puppy reminds me of my buddy Stratotronic. During the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], he and [[Gutcruncher (G1)|I]] killed a bunch of Cybertronian refugees. Even the [[Wreckers]]' couldn't protect them. {{Storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

After the war, me and Stratotronic opened a bar and started an [[engex]] bootlegging operation. Sadly, Stratotronic got killed trying to steal an engex distiller with [[Ransack (G2)|Ransack]] and [[Heavy Barrel (G1)|Heavy Barrel]] {{Storylink|Fight or Flee (issue)|Fight or Flee}} by [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] for their crimes during the war. {{Storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}} But with it's custom shielding, this work of art will never die.

'''AS SEEN ON TV!!!'''  When I flew my Stratotronic Jet on what I think was [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], I yelled, "Destroy them!" and fired some shots at [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]] as they drove out of a tunnel in their own sub-standard Action Master vehicles. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Gutcruncher|Action Master vehicles commercial}}

Back in 1990, this jet was made available as an Action Master Decepticon Attack Vehicle, '''Gutcruncher w/ Stratotronic Jet'''.  Now the prices have gone way up on it!  HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE!

== Notes ==
* Don't let its name fool you! This bad boy was known as the "Stratotonic Cruiser" in the toy catalog and simply the "Strato Jet" in its toy commercial. But what's in a name anyway?! You can call it whatever you want, baby!
