Toys

Generation 1

• Skydive (Predator, 1992)
  • Accessories: Missile launcher, 3 missiles

Skydive transforms in to a Northrop YF-23 Black Widow II fighter jet, and is equipped with a standard Predator missile launcher, usable in both modes; mounted on this underside in jet mode, or as a hand-held blaster in robot. Each wing has a peg to mount his remaining missiles.

As a Predator, he features a Megavisor gimmick that lets him attach to Skyquake and Stalker, showing an image through those toys' viewfinders. Skydive's slide shows an image of all four smaller Turbomasters in car mode: Boss, Flash, Hurricane and Scorch.

This toy was also available in Japan as the character Dark Jet.
