Fictionally, what makes a transformer a '''Cyberjet''' as opposed to just another random TF with a jet mode is unclear, as they have received very little fictional attention.
The '''Cyberjets''' are a cross-factional group of warriors. Transforming into Earthen jets and equipped with missile launchers accessible in both modes, the Autobot and Decepticon Cyberjets share common design traits and even exact body types.


The distinguishing features of the Cyberjet toys, however -- small size, high poseability, intricate transformations, and pressure-launch missiles -- don't really translate well to fiction anyway.  The molds were developed for the ''Generation 2'' toyline, and have subsequently been [[redeco]]ed in other lines since.  They were among the earliest fully-poseable transformers, prefiguring the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' line to come. They also feature [[lightpipe|lightpiping]] in their heads.  While this feature is used on larger toys to give them "light-up" eyes, due to their small size, the Cyberjets seem to have illuminated faces which lack the usual facial features. The Cyberjets were also the first ''Transformers'' appearance for the "pressure-launch" style [[missile]] launchers.


There are three different Cyberjet molds. Each mold was released twice, one as a Decepticon and again as a Autobot, during Generation 2. Both the ''[[Robot Masters]]'' and ''[[Universe]]'' lines had one unique new deco for each mold, and ''[[Timelines]]'' [[Ricochet (Descent into Evil)|Ricochet]] was a fifth new color scheme for the [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]] mold.

The Cyberjets are small jets from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Cyberjets are a cross-factional group of warriors. Transforming into Earthen jets and equipped with missile launchers accessible in both modes, the Autobot and Decepticon Cyberjets share common design traits and even exact body types.

The Cyberjets are small sized jets with high poseability, intricate transformations, and pressure-launched missiles. They were among the earliest fully-poseable transformers, prefiguring the Beast Wars line to come. They also feature lightpiping in their heads. While this feature is used on larger toys to give them "light-up" eyes, due to their small size, the Cyberjets seem to have illuminated faces which lack the usual facial features. The Cyberjets were also the first Transformers appearance for the "pressure-launch" style missile launchers.
There are three different Cyberjet molds, each being released twice during Generation 2--once as an Autobot and once as a Decepticon.
Takara planned to extend their Generation 2 line by rereleasing the Cyberjets once more, now remolded to feature new armored limbs and larger weapons; these versions were never released.
The molds have been redecoed several times in subsequent lines.
