The Jet Corps are a Decepticon subgroup from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family

The Jet Corps (ジェット軍団 Jet Gundan) are Scrash's primary infantry team and the arch-foes of the Autobot Road Corps. Each member of the team has a personal vendetta against a member of the Road Corps, fueling a very bitter rivalry between the two groups.

The Jet Corps consists of:

Operation Combination story pages

The Jet Corps have 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!

Embarrassing.

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. The Decepticons' Attack on Earth!

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

The members of the Jet Corps were released in 1992, available only in "versus" packs against the members of the Road Corps. Though they shared the missile-launching shtick of their Autobot enemies, they also retained the Megavisor gimmick of their European counterparts, the Predators... 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.)
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.
