As single units these robots are fast and sharp, but their individual power is no match for their combined force. In the heat of battle, they can join together to form the awesome shield known as SKYBOOM - the only defense against the super-powerful STAR SABER. This ability pits the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS against each other in a struggle for possession of the Race Team.

Toy Condition: Loose, Complete, Mint Condition, With full card (bubble removed)

Toy Review: As cool as the character art above looks, these guys just plain stink. Mirage, which is just a tweaked version of Starscream's Swindle Mini-Con, is a disgrace to his namesake, though he does have the notorious habit of falling apart. Downshift, also a previously used name (from the mail-away-toy Omnibots group), sucks just as bad, maybe worse than Mirage. And Dirt Boss defines gimpy-ness in Transformers with his horrible proportions and lack of articulation. Redeeming qualities? There are a few, I guess. Their vehicle modes look cool enough, and they do combine. Combine? Yeah, into a shield, of all things... a big, wedge shaped shield, that doesn't even have a very good way to be held by most of the other TFs. The combined mode also tends to come apart. I knew these guys stunk, and the only reason I got them is because I wanted some TFs and they were on sale. I should have saved my money, or at least waited until they went on clearance rather than just a buck off sale. Oh well. Unless you're a completist, love race cars, need a shield for your TFs (which, ironically, is a good use for these pathetic things), or just have some bling to waste, I recommend buying something else. A couple PVCs would be a much better choice. Yes, these guys stink. :P

Dirtboss has a box for a body and is ugly. The skyboom is awesome! It is not meant to be a jest at all, thats just thick. I mean a sword, a gun and a JET! that'd be stupid. The three alone are bad but put together they are the best. Im glad there sold in a set or i wouldnt have bought them at all!

Added by: 5318008 on August 01, 2003 Rated it: Comments: Bought these and immediately returned them to exchange them for the Destruction team. They didn't even fit together. I'd put them in exactly as the instructions said, but they'd just fall apart. Then I thought maybe the instructions were flawed - it happens. So I decided to improvise...nothing! No logical combination other than the one that wouldn't work in the first place. Useless. Avoid like the plague.
