- 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.
Fiction
Japanese Generation 2 comic
The Hasbro bios for the Autobot Cyberjets indicate that they are the G1 Autobot characters in new bodies. While Takara's Japanese releases used the same decos, in Japanese continuity they were former Decepticons who switched sides; hence G2 Jetfire is the same as G1, given a bit of retcon.
Robot Masters comic
Toys
Generation 2
- Decepticon Cyberjets (1995)
- Hooligan
- Skyjack
- Space Case
- Autobot Cyberjets (1995)

- 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.
