Moon Jet

Moon Jet is a Decepticon from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

A butt-on collision.

Moon Jet (ムーンジェット Mūn Jetto) draws his energy from the moon's rays. He considers the stellar-powered Autobot Checker Road his rival. His favorite tactic is to hide on the dark side of the moon... then, um... fly out of there.

Yeah.

Who the slag invited Moon Jet?

• Checker Road vs. Moon Jet (Versus pack, 1992)

• Japanese ID number: TF-08
• Accessories: Missile launcher, 3 missiles
• Known designers: Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy)

Moon Jet is identical to the Predator Talon, transforming into a McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle fighter jet. He has a spring-loaded hand-held missile launcher, plus retains the Megavisor gimmick, allowing him to be connected to the larger Predator toys (only one of which, Skyquake, was released in Japan, and even that was basically in UK packaging). He was available only in a two-pack with Checker Road.
