- FOR SALE: One Stratotronic Jet, a vehicle from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Stratotronic Jet is about the toughest Action Master vehicle I've ever flown, or my name isn't 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.)

Notes
[edit]- Don't let its name fool you! This bad boy was known as the "Stratotronic 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!
