Punisher (Machine Gun Sounds)
Back card : The Punisher hates what criminals and organized crime do to people and society. That’s why he’s waging a one-man war to wipe out crime. To help him reach his goal, he’s assembled the most explosive arsenal a man can have. Because he’s an unmatched expert in guerilla warfare, he can silently hunt down almost any criminal. The only time the criminal will know when the Punisher’s on his trail is when the Punisher explodes into action.
Iron Man (Quick Change Armor)
Back card : Iron Man is the world’s greatest high-tech hero. Iron Man’s armor is made of space-age alloys and is virtually indestructible. Not only that, but the armor is filled with an awesome arsenal including energy blasting repulsor rays, a navigational computer and rocket-powered boots that can fly him at a top speed of 960 miles an hour! Iron Man is really the millionaire inventor and industrialist, Tony Stark. When he’s not wearing his armor and helping his friends Thor and Captain America save mankind from super-powered enemies, Tony’s in his lab creating a new inventi9on to save lives or clean the environment.
To help Tony suit up to become Iron Man, simply place the coordinating pieces of armor around his body, arms and legs and snap together until tight.
Green Goblin (pupkin Bombs)
Back card : Green Goblin is one of Spider-Man’s oldest and deadliest enemies. With his jet-powered Goblin Glider, mayhem-making pumpkin bombs and his terrifying cackling laugh, Green Goblin spreads doom, destruction and panic wherever he flies. When it comes to making Spider-Man’s life miserable, nobody does it better than Green Goblin. What makes him so terrifying and so hard to capture is the fact that there’s no rhyme or reason to Green Goblin’s crime sprees. No one, not even Spider-Man, can predict what he’ll do next!
Rescue Force 1
Thundercracker (Action Master)
Released only in European and Australasian markets, Action Master Thundercracker is, once again, a redeco of Starscream, a non-transforming action figure that combined elements of both the character’s cartoon model and toy-form. Like all Action Masters, Thundercracker came with a transformable accessory — in his case, a Solo Mission Jet Plane vehicle resembling an F-117 Nighthawk that converted into exo-suit battle armor. For whatever reason, Action Master Thundercracker forewent any attempt at rendering the character in his traditional blue and silver color scheme, but instead opted for a fantastically nauseating blend of magenta, purple, blue, gold, and two shades of green that would become the stuff of legend as the ultimate example of the flair this era’s European Transformers had for the gaudy. In fact, this slightly horrifying color scheme would later be used for Shattered Glass Thundercracker.
Slicer (Action Master)
A redeco of Action Master Wheeljack, Slicer is a non-transforming action figure that is compatible with all other Action Master vehicles and weapons. He comes with a 4WD Assault Vehicle that can transform into an armoured Exo-suit. Slicer was only available in European markets.
Rumbler (Action Master)
Rumbler is a redeco of Sprocket, and therefore a non-transforming action figure that is compatible with all other Action Master vehicles and weapons. He comes with a 4WD All-Terrain Vehicle that can transform into an armoured Exo-suit, which itself is a redeco of the similar vehicle that comes with Slicer (who was released at the same time), albeit with remolded weaponry.
Circuit (Action Master)
Circuit is a redeco of Axer, sold only in European markets. As an Action Master, he cannot transform, but does have evidence of an alternate mode, possibly some kind of offroad buggy. He comes with a Formula 1 vehicle that transforms into a battle exo-suit. Both Circuit and the exo-suit are compatible with other Action Masters, vehicles and accessories.
The placement of the cannon on his exo-suit is really phallic.
Windmill (Action Master Elite)
Windmill is an Action Master Elite, the only variety of Action Masters that had their own alternate modes, and was available only in European markets. He transforms into a high-impact, counterstrike helicopter. Pushing in the thingy on his copter-mode spins the rotor-blades via gear-wheel gimmickry.
Turbo Master (Action Master Elite)
As an Action Master Elite, Turbo Master is one of the few figures in the Action Master line that can actually transform to some limited extent, in this case transforming into a “dual propeller vertical take-off plane”, if a person laying on their back with arms and legs in the air can be considered a vehicle. One of his Bruticus homage shoulder cannons is a button, which when pressed spins both of his fists. This serves a purpose in both his modes, two small helicopter propellers plug into his fists and spin to help complete his alt-mode, while the two wing/swords can be held and spun in robot mode.
Turbo Master, as with the other Action Master Elites, was only released in Europe and Australasia.
Omega Spreem (Action Master Elite)
As an Action Master Elite, Omega Spreem is one of the few figures in the Action Master line that can actually transform to some extent, in this case transforming into a really awkward Cybertronian tank. A push-button on Omega’s butt spins his upper body around, which in tank mode means the upper “turret” spins like a drill. Despite having a gun on the back of his head, there is not enough clearance for his head to fold down far enough to make it point forward in vehicle mode. Due to his “transformation,” he is one of the most articulated Action Masters, featuring universal shoulder joints, a wrist bend, an upwards neck joint (though at the price of a sideways neck joint), and even a waist swivel, though it’s pretty loose. He’s also one of the few to use universal joints rather than the standard rubber bands in his hips, making him significantly more durable.
Omega Spreem, as with the other Action Master Elites, was only released in Europe and Australasia.
Double Punch (Action Master Elite)
As an Action Master Elite, Double Punch is one of the few figures in the Action Master line that can actually transform to some limited extent, in this case transforming into a scorpion… with two tails. He has a claw-arm-raking action gimmick in both modes, activated by pressing in the plunger on his back.
Double Punch, as with the other Action Master Elites, was only released in Europe and Australasia. As such, he can command some pretty exorbitant prices for a complete, clean figure, even loose.
Like most of the Action Master Elites, Double Punch appears to be an homage to a pre-existing Generation 1 character. His color scheme, molded detail, and transformation strongly resemble BlackZarak, only with extra eye-searing pastels. He is also the only Action Master based on a Japanese-original character.
Tracks (Action Master) with Basher
This version of Tracks was a European exclusive, sculpted to resemble his cartoon appearances more closely. As with all Action Masters, he cannot transform, but is highly articulated by the standards of the time. He came with small tank partner named Basher, who forms a battle helmet/backpack for Tracks (or any other Action Master), colored in bright green and baby blue. Tracks is compatible with all Action Master vehicles and accessories.
Take-Off (Action Master) with Screech
An Action Master available only in European markets, Take-Off is a non-transforming action figure. He came with his bird-shaped partner Screech, who can plug onto Take-Off’s back and serve as his battle helmet.
Despite his name, his kibble — particularly the wheels on his shoulders and legs — seem to indicate that he previously transformed into a car.
Sideswipe (Action Master) with Vanguard
A non-transforming action figure that combines elements from both his original toy and his animation model, Action Master Sideswipe is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. His partner-unit Vanguard forms a backpack and battle helmet, and complements Sideswipe’s color scheme quite well.
Action Master Sideswipe was only available in European (and certain Australian) markets.
Powerflash (Action Master) with Road Rocket
As an Action Master, Powerflash is a non-transforming action figure. An original character, his body design has details of a fighter-jet mode, though what model is difficult to determine (possibly an F-4 Phantom). He came with his partner-unit Road Rocket, who can become a backpack/battle-helmet for Powerflash.
Powerflash was part of the final wave of “standard” Action Masters, which was only available in European markets. As such, he’s pretty dang rare, and even loose samples can command triple-digit pricetags from dealers.
Charger (Decepticon) with Fire Beast
Charger was one of the European-exclusive Action Masters released there after the Generation 1 Transformers line was cancelled in the U.S. His partner Fire Beast forms a backpack/battle helmet for Charger.
Bombshell (Action Master) with Needler
Action Master Bombshell is a non-transforming action figure that combines the cartoon model with a few toy-based elements. Interestingly enough, his distinctive head-cannon is no longer on his skull, but his hand-held blaster bears a similar design.
He comes with his robot scarab partner Needler, who forms a backpack/battle helmet for Bombshell. He was only available in the European markets
