The '''Decepticon Planes''' are a [[subgroup]] of [[Decepticon]]s. This designation was used primarily in reference to the toyline, and was not reflected as an official subgroup within the comics or animation. It was mostly used in the catalogues in contrast to the much larger [[Autobot Cars]] toy group.

Up, up, and away!
The Decepticon Planes are a subgroup from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Decepticon Planes are a subgroup of Decepticons. This designation was used primarily in reference to the toyline, and was not reflected as an official subgroup within the comics or animation. It was mostly used in the catalogues in contrast to the much larger Autobot Cars toy group.

The first two years of "Planes" were all redecos or retools of the same basic body type, the Diaclone F-15 toy. Characters with this body type are also known by the in-fiction moniker of Seekers. The third year added the radically different Scourge and Cyclonus to the group. The transition to "Targetmaster Decepticon Planes" coincided with the removal of the last Seeker-style figure from the assortment.

Members include:

1984 releases

The 1984 Planes were made available again in 1985.
