Autojetter


 * Autojetter is a Predacon from the Beast Wars II portion of the Beast Era continuity family.

Autojetter flies beside Galvatron as his aerial guard. Not that Galvatron especially needs a guard, but the job gives him ample opportunities to get into fights, and Autojetter is an often an over-enthusiastic combatant. So he does love his job.

He really hates insects (they jam up his intakes), and is especially eager to destroy the Maximal Insectrons.

Beast Wars II

 * Autojetter (Auto-Roller, 1998)
 * Japanese ID number: D-19, VS-19


 * Autojetter transforms into an F-18 fighter jet with a trio of pressure-launch missiles in each wing (activated by a sliding lever), which become his arms in robot mode. Like Autolauncher, he has a three-setting switch that changes how the toy reacts to being rolled on a smooth surface.  In the center setting, it rolls free in whichever mode it’s in.  The other two activate the toy’s auto-transforming gimmick; with the switch to the left, the toy transforms from robot to jet when rolled forward (and back when rolled in reverse), while the right position transforms him from jet to robot when rolled forward (and back when in reverse).


 * He was available both as an individual release, and in a two-pack with Tonbot.

Trivia

 * Autojetter's mold was originally created for Generation 2, but was one of several items that ended up cancelled.
