Predacon Field Squadron

The Predacon Field Squadron ground force are specialized for combat in water, air and on land, and they cannot cut it in any of them. They try their best, but their most admirable quality is that they are good for a laugh.<ref>As stated in their R2 DVD bio</ref> Each member of the team fires the Right, Left, and Center Lasers to combine into one mighty attack.

• Dark Scream / Gas Skunk / Slapper (Mega 3-pack, 2001)

For their Hasbro releases, the members of the Predacon Field Squadron were released in a Mega-level pricepoint box all together.

Notes

• The name "Predacon Field Squadron" was never used in the Robots in Disguise cartoon itself. The name originates from bios provided for Gas Skunk, Dark Scream, and Slapper in the English dub's production bible, in which Dark Scream was said to be the group's second member and Slapper its third member (making Gas Skunk the group's unspoken first member).<ref>RID Character Bible, at The Allspark (archived)</ref> Publicly, the name first appeared on the (now defunct) Fox Kids website in a bio for Slapper that was (like the others from that site) derived from the production bible's longer bio.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20020124195705/http://www.foxkids.com/tvshows/transformers/characters.asp</ref>
• According to the Car Robots toy catalog, Dark Scream, Gas Skunk and Slapper make up a subgroup known as the "3 Metal Beast Brothers" (メタルビースト３兄弟 Metaru Bīsuto 3 Kyōdai). Apparently, Takara's intent was to have them parallel the "3 Car Robo Brothers" (as Prowl, Side Burn, and X-Brawn were called in Japan), but this subgroup name was likewise never used in the show's Japanese version, and nor was any familial relationship implied between the three.
