The Predator Attack Team are a predatory group of Mini-Cons, always hunting and prowling for Autobots, and perhaps the occasional xenomorph.

They may look tiny and adorable, but they will not hesitate to rip you to shreds just for kicks, and are less likely to eat out of your hand than they are to simply eat your hand. The three are driven by a single, insidious purpose, a fearsome hunger and deadly blood lust that unites them as a team and drives their frenzied hunts. They're always on the lookout for more interesting, more challenging, or tastier prey.

The Predator Attack Team aided Broadside in taking down many Cybertronian mutants skulking about the planet's underground. Broadside considered the trio dangerous psychopaths; the only reason they hadn't been locked up was because their murderous energies could be channeled into taking care of the mutant threat. During one such outing, they took down Guttersnipe, Meathook and Sawtooth with ease. The New World

Toys

Classics

  • Predator Attack Team (Mini-Con Team, 2006)
Sold only as a complete set of three robots, the Predator Attack Team were part of the second wave of Classics Mini-Cons.
All three molds were redecoed for Shattered Glass Predacons. Overbite's redeco Razorclaw was in the boxed set, but the other two molds Divebomb and Rampage were sold in separate add-on sets.
The whole set of molds was also redecoed to make Longview, Scavenger, and Snow Cat from the Ground Surveillance Team component of the Universe Mini-Cons 10-pack.

Notes

  • The molds for this team were originally intended to be released in Cybertron as part of the Mini-Con "vs"-pack assortment.
  • Bios uncovered (presumably from Hasbro's server) for the ultimately-unreleased Cybertron Mini-Con 2-packs indicate that the original "Predator Attack Team" was fairly different from its eventual incarnation, containing a trio of fliers! Thus, it was likely the molds used to make Dreadwing, Nightscream and Swoop.
