- The Metro Squad is a team of Autobot Micromasters from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Top row, L to R : Power Run, Strikedown, Roadburner
Bottom row, L to R : Oiler, Slide, Wheel Blaze
The Micromaster Combiner Metro Squad, led by Oiler, is dedicated to protecting the innocent potential victims of the Transformers' war. Their success ratio in this endeavor is impeccable, due in no small part to their well-known courage. When they're not shielding civilians, they're clearing battlefields of debris and Decepticon casualties. They will accept no rewards for their heroism; the knowledge that they helped in the battle against evil is enough. This enthusiasm, however, can be hampered by their tendency to get in each other's way.[1]
The squad consists of:
- Power Run and Strikedown the hovercraft
- Oiler and Slide the fuel transport truck
- Roadburner and Wheel Blaze the cherry-picker truck
In Japan, the Metro Squad was split up between the Fire Tanker W Team and the Radar Hover W Team.

- The Metro Squad was sold as a carded pack of three vaguely urban-themed vehicles (if a hovercraft counts as "urban"), each of which splits into two robots. Any squad member can combine in vehicle mode with any other, or with any other Micromaster Combiner. The squad shares a common color palette of white, black, blue and yellow.
