Fiction
Operation Combination story pages
The Jet Corps has an extensive and personal history with the Autobot Road Corps, with each member having a rival on the other side. The Rivals of the Road Corps and Jet Corps Collide!
Scrash sent the Jet Corps to plunder Earth of its energy alongside Battle Gaia. They initially met resistance from the Road Corps, leaving Dark Jet to go toe-to-toe with Spin Road. The Road Army vs. the Jet Army! New Decepticons Appear!
Despite the efforts of the Road Corps, the Jet Corps and Battle Gaia continued to advance toward Earth. Out of options, Guard City and the Road Corps summoned forth all the Micromaster Combiners scattered across the globe to join in the battle which had finally arrived in Earth's orbit.

Eventually, the Autobots united into the "Autobot Scrum Combination" which destroyed Battle Gaia and drove the Jet Corps back. The Jet Corps were last seen carrying the remains of Battle Gaia back into outer space. Conclusion

Operation Combination

- TF-07 Fire Road vs. Shadow Jet
- TF-08 Checker Road vs. Moon Jet
- TF-09 Mach Road vs. Flare Jet
- The members of the Jet Corps were released in 1992, available only in "versus" packs against the members of the Road Corps. They are nigh-identical to the European Predator team, four smallish jets with spring-loaded missile launchers. They also retained the Megavisor gimmick of their European counterparts, except that, as neither Skyquake or Stalker were released in Operation Combination proper, this feature seemingly went entirely unadvertised. (Skyquake WAS sold in the Japanese market, but in a European box that sported Japanese-language stickers.)
- The only real difference between the Jet Corps and the Predators are in the small green missiles. Though they are functionally the same, there are many minor molding differences between the two. The most immediately-noticeable difference without directly comparing the two is the bases; the Jet Corps missiles have a circular base, while the Predator missile-bases have fins that extend beyond the base.
- Due to a combination of factors (one of them being GPS), the Jet Corps's missile launchers are quite delicate. Never load one of their launchers while one of them is holding it—the post is likely to just snap right off.
