- The Turbo Jet is an Action Master vehicle from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Starscream's Turbo Jet confirms that, though he is an Action Master, he is still the undisputed master of the skies. In its jet configuration, twin turbo-fan boosters launch it to amazing speeds. Its armaments are impressive, consisting of a nose-mounted photon blaster able to fire earth-shattering bombs and wing-mounted missile launchers. When it transforms into a battle chariot, it enhances its defensive capabilities with a powerful force field. This configuration is equipped with a 4-stage rocket launcher and can draw energy from the air.

Notes
[edit]- The Turbo Jet is unique among Action Master vehicles in that it's not scaled up to Transformer-size.
