Bot a Day: Daily Drawings

Listed as an "Aerial Marauder," Turbo Master is an Action Master Elite. That is, the normally non-transforming Action Master has been graced with a transformation, albeit an entirely unconvincing one. He turns into a rotor-plane that looks like Turbo Master kinda lying down and doing yoga. Of peculiar note, Turbo Master's design is based on  Bruticus , the combined form of the Combaticons, though nothing is noted about this in his bio. Turbo Master was available in European markets in 1991. 

Double Punch is a Decepticon from the extended Action Master assortment available only in European markets in 1991. Double Punch's body style closely resembles Skorponok and Black Zarak, though he appears to be a distinct third character. As an Action Master Elite, he can transform -- more convincingly than other Action Master Elites -- into a mechanical scorpion. 

Another Action Master Elite joined the ranks of the Autobots in 1991 -- at least, in European markets -- in the form of Omega Spreem. That weird spelling of "Supreme", the garish colors and his awkward transformation into an unconvincing tank make him an oddity for sure. 

While the main Transformers "Generation One" line ended in the US in 1990, in Europe, there was still a bit more juice to squeeze from these toys. In 1991, the Action Master subseries continued with Action Master Elites, which took the basic conceit of Action Masters (non-transforming action figures) and, well, made them transform. Windmill is an Autobot air defense specialist, and turns into a rather unconvincing helicopter. That's the thing about Action Master Elites - their simplistic designs means their vehicle modes are pretty much their robot modes standing in awkward poses. This drawing is from 2019.
