I've been looking all over the web trying to find out what this toy is that I've got.

It's a red car that transforms into a Jet with a gun turret. There is no Robot form, it only has 2 vehicle forms

Markings on the bottom say it's a Hasbro from 1990

Already been through the extensive picture galleries on this sit and found nothing

WTF IS THIS THING?

It's G1 Action Master Wheeljack's Turbo Racer from 1990.

Action Masters were non-transforming figures, "Transformers that don't transform" if you will. Instead, they came with accessories and vehicles that transformed instead, kinda like M.A.S.K.

That's not the only thing weird about me.

Four minutes from opening post to comprehensive answer...

That thing wouldn't fly - those wings are just wind breaks.

Anything can fly if you power it with enough imagination!

LOL yeah, but the car is more aerodynamic.

I wouldn't mind seeing a return of Action Master accessories and vehicles. Since most Transformers are possible now anyway. FOC Shockwave needs his Fistfight.

I want Transformers Prime and Beast Wars Action Masters. Spitting image representations of all the characters.
