What is this Red, 2 Vheicle, No Bot Mode, Autobot Car/Jet?

Posted by TurtleNinjaStyle Wed Jan 09, 2013 5:13 pm

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.

The resident Rewind... well, half of one

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him )
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl
- Spare CW HFGs (Air Raid/Skydive)

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.
