TheOff-Road Cycle (also known as aTurbo Cycle) isAxer'sAction Master vehicle, a custom-built motorcycle armed with quadriphonicsonic blasters, a magnetic-lock targetingdestabilizer rifle, and heat-seekingproton missile batteries. It can transform into a battle station, revealing dualphoton cannons.^[1]

When Axer went toanother dimension, he didn'tride a "turbo cycle," but rather hetransformed into one instead. While thisalt-mode doesn't look like its namesake, it does bear much of the same weaponry.^[2]

• Off-Road Cycle with Axer (Action Blaster Vehicle,1990)

• Accessories: Sidecar, "magnetic-lock targetingdestabilizer rifle", 2 missiles, seat-back/shield
• Known designers:Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)

Part of the first (and only) assortment ofThe Transformers "Action Master Blaster Vehicles", Axer's Off-Road Cycle is a rugged-looking "hawg" with a left-mounted sidecar that seats any normal Action Master figure, though there is enough room in the back end to seat a second rather un-securely right behind the pilot. The sidecar's side panel also flips down to reveal a footpeg, allowing another figure to ride along. In this mode, the two missiles attach to the front wheel's left side, while the hand-cannon mounts on the right side of the bike's main body.

The cycle transforms into a twin-cannoned field artillery piece, with the bike's exhaust pipes flipping forward via spring-loaded trigger to form the cannon barrels. The two missiles can be plugged into the ends of the cannons. The seat cover can also detach and form a small shield any Action Master figure can use.

This set came with the Action Master figure Axer.

Notes

• In all forms of fiction (bios, comics) this vehicle is called a "Turbo Cycle," but in descriptions of the toy (packaging, instructions, catalog) it's called an "Off-Road Cycle." We have chosen the latter as this article's title to distinguish it from the "Turbo Cycle" that Action MasterProwl rides.

Foreign names
