Dark Jet is identical to the Predator Skydive, transforming into a 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 Spin Road.
