- Spin Road vs. Dark Jet (Versus pack, 1992)
- ID number: TF-06
- Accessories: "Dark Missile" launcher, 3 missiles
- Known designers: Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy)
- Released in the eighth and final year of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers line under the Operation Combination banner, Dark Jet is (mostly) identical to the Hasbro European-market Predator Skydive, transforming into a fictionalized version of a Northrop YF-23 fighter jet. He has a spring-loaded hand-held missile launcher, plus retains the Megavisor gimmick, allowing him to be connected to the larger Predator toys (only one of which, Skyquake, was released in Japan, and even that was basically in UK packaging), which lets a special image be seen through the larger toy's scope: in this instance, all four members of the Road Corps in their car modes.
- The only difference between him and his Hasbro doppelganger is one he shares with the rest of the Predator/Jet Corps members; slightly-altered missiles. The most immediately-noticeable difference is the Jet Corps missiles have a solid-circle base, while the Predators have fins that stick out slightly, but there's numerous small molding differences all over them.
- Due to a combination of design and Gold Plastic Syndrome, the Jet Corps launchers are quite delicate. It's best never to load one of the launchers while it is in the hand of a Predator—the post is most likely to just snap right off. The trigger is also likely to snap off due to relying on on the plastic bending as opposed to being hinged.
- He was available only in a two-pack with Spin Road.
