Flare Jet
- Flare Jet is a Decepticon from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Flare Jet (フレアージェット Fureā Jetto) used to be friends with Mach Road, and may have once been an Autobot himself. Now this solar warrior uses his powers for the Decepticons, burning whatever they desire to cinders using energy from the sun.
(How he gets along with Shadow Jet is unclear.)
Fiction
Operation Combination story pages
Flare Jet accompained the Jet Corps and Battle Gaia in their campaign to plunder Earth of all its energy. They were initially opposed by their foes, the Road Corps. The Decepticons defeated the Road Corps and pressed on into Earth's orbit. The Road Army vs. the Jet Army! New Decepticons Appear!
Arriving in Earth's orbit, they were met by Guard City, who had assembled every Micromaster Combiner in the Autobot ranks. Flare Jet then went toe-to-toe with Sixwing. The Decepticons' Attack on Earth!
The Autobots eventually formed the "Autobot Scrum Combination" and used their power to destroy Battle Gaia. Flare Jet and the Jet Corps quickly gathered up Battle Gaia's remains and fled back into space. Conclusion
Toys
Operation Combination
- Mach Road vs. Flare Jet (Versus pack, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-09
- Accessories: Missile launcher, 3 missiles
- Flare Jet is identical to the Predator Snare, transforming into a Grumman X-29 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 Mach Road who also appears in Flare Jet's visor-slide image.
