- The Predators are a Decepticon subgroup from the Generation One continuity family.
The Predators are a Decepticon group that saw release in the final year of Generation One, only in "European" markets (which does include Canada). They were the "headliner" Decepticons, with their leader Skyquake apparently being the leader of all the Decepticons at the time.
Though the Predators shared the missile-launching shtick of their Autobot counterparts the Turbomasters (though the Predator launchers are entirely uniform across all the toys), they also had the Megavisor gimmick to unify the team further, allowing the smaller jets to physically link with the larger.
In some European markets, the Predators were referred to as Scope Masters.
The Predators include...
- Skyquake the leader and huge jet-thing.
- Stalker the ICBM launcher tank.
- Falcon the Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk.
- Skydive the Northrop YF-23 Black Widow II.
- Snare the Grumman X-29.
- Talon the McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle.
Notes[]
- The four small Predator jets were released -without changes- in Takara's Operation Combination line as the "Jet Corps". Also, it is likely that Skyquake is the "model" for the ever-unseen Operation Combination head badguy Scrash.
