Cyberjet
- The Cyberjets are small jets from the Generation 2 section of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Fictionally, what makes a transformer a Cyberjet as opposed to just another random TF with a jet mode is unclear, as they have received very little fictional attention.
The distinguishing features of the Cyberjet toys, however -- small size, high poseability, intricate transformations, and pressure-launch missiles -- don't really translate well to fiction anyway. The molds were developed for the Generation 2 toyline, and have subsequently been redecoed in other lines since. They were among the earliest fully-poseable transformers, prefiguring the Beast Wars line to come. They also feature lightpiping in their heads. While this feature is used on larger toys to give them "light-up" eyes, due to their small size, the Cyberjets seem to have illuminated faces which lack the usual facial features.
There are only three Cyberjet molds. Each mold was released twice, one as a Decepticon and again as a Autobot, during Generation 2. Both Robot Masters and Universe had one unique new deco for each mold, and Timelines Ricochet was a fifth new color scheme for the Hooligan mold.

Generation 2
- (Note: The Hasbro bios for the Autobot Cyberjets indicate that they are the G1 Autobot characters in new bodies. While Takara's Japanese releases used the same decos, in the fiction they were former Decepticons who switched sides; hence G2 Jetfire is the same as G1, given a bit of retcon.)
