Battle Squad

This article is about the six-bot Decepticon Micromaster Combiner team. For the four-bot Autobot Micromaster team, see Battle Patrol.

The Battle Squad is a team of Decepticon Micromasters from the Generation 1 continuity family.

In a race of warrior robots, their name doesn't really say much.

The Micromaster Combiner Battle Squad is central to the Decepticons' off-radar defense. When they band together with a cybernetic compressor, their firepower is incredible. Aided by their advanced visual tracking systems, they can annihilate anything in a three-mile radius. If an Autobot spacecraft vanishes from radar screens, the Battle Squad is usually the culprit. When they separate, however, they tend to spend their time taking potshots at one another.

• Direct-Hit and Power Punch the cannon transport
• Meltdown and Half-Track the anti-aircraft vehicle
• Fireshot and Vanquish the Blackbird jet
