Talk:Powermaster

Um... G2 Power Masters. I assume we would at least need a disambiguation link, since the two are fairly different. In fact, might as well make a disambig PAGE, since there are also "Powered Masters" in existance, and that's close enough for confusion. --M Sipher 22:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Filter?

The "technology" section talks about the Nebulons acting as energy filters. Does this come from somewhere? In People Power! they seemed to act as replacement power sources by eating cheeseburgers. I don't think the Nebulons were filtering poison cheeseburgers. The radiation only poisoned fuel. - Starfield 23:39, 11 November 2009 (EST)

Toy Triggers by Faction...

It come up on Alspark today about the two different triggering methods used by Powermaster toys. Some trigger by the minifigure's crotch and some by their knees. Of the ones I had on hand to check, all the Autobots (Prime, Getaway, Joyride) were crotch-triggered and the Cons (Overlord, Dreadwing) were knee triggered. However I lack the other Powermasters right now to confirm if the division is indeed across the board by faction. If someone could confirm that, we could add the info here. --76.28.76.206 14:18, 4 May 2010 (EDT)

How many Whoppers?

I get what we are trying to do with the math in calculating how much food a Powermaster would have to eat, but I have some quibbles. Why would we assume that a super robot lifeform gets poor gas mileage? I would think Transformers would be high-tech enough to be more efficient than an average SUV. Plus, we don't really know how the Powermaster thing works. For all we know, it could be like Mr. Fusion. - Starfield 00:03, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

Did any of those number-happy early bios ever give numbers for fuel efficiency? Anyway, I say leave that part in - even if the numbers were tweaked, it's still a fun note. --MissRatbat (talk) 03:00, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Toy Gimmick Compatibility

Are the smaller partners/engines fully compatible with all larger figures, faction specific, or pack-in exclusive? The Headmaster gimmick was universal, and the existence of additional Japan-exclusive individual-release Godmaster mini-figs suggests this as such, but individual toolings seem to disagree. Is there/should there be a section with this information? Hida Atarasi 02:05, 30 November 2012 (EST)

I do know that not all of the transformations quite triggered the same way, and thus not all Powermasters hit the correct buttons.--Rosicrucian^Talk 02:19, 30 November 2012 (EST)
