[[File:Neutro-fusiontank.jpg|upright=2.6|thumb|Alive! Alive! Alive!]]
Transformers who use [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] as a fuel source lose their [[transformation]] ability due to the fact that their figure alteration [[system]]s get converted into energy storage reactors. However, through this process, '''Action Masters''' become harder, better, faster, stronger and more alive. They have equipped themselves with transformable [[Action Master partner|partners]] and [[:Category:Action Master vehicles|vehicles]] to aid them in battle.

A few Action Masters managed to retain (or possibly regain) the ability to transform; they are known as [[Action Master Elite]]s.

Action Masters are among the few Transformers to feature [[Power Plans]] on the [[packaging]], in addition to the more traditional [[Tech Spec]] and [[bio]].

==Fiction==
===Toy packaging blurb===
[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] went searching for new energy sources and, within the heart of a [[black hole]] discovered Nucleon: a miracle fuel that made Transformers stronger, faster, and more alive, but cost them the ability to transform. Soon the Decepticons stole the technology and created Action Masters of their own, with [[Magmatrynon]] alloy being used for the construction of [[Action Master Exo-suit|exo-suits]].

{{note|This story was later referenced with the Japanese release of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Nucleon Quest Super Convoy]], a black repaint of Powermaster Optimus Prime who was given the backstory of being Prime specially outfitted for this trip into the black hole.}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] heard about a risky new miracle fuel on the planet [[Hydrus Four]]. Against orders he stole the non-functioning bodies of his fellow [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and headed there to find out. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm}} What he discovered was a ruined world filled with [[Nucleon guardian|creepy, obsessive, rotting zombie-like beings]] warning him that it was all because of Nucleon. Being Grimlock, he then went ahead and used the fuel anyway, first on himself and then to revive his fallen teammates. {{storylink|The Pri¢e of Life!}}

Grimlock soon found parts of his body inexplicably seizing up, and began to fear that he should have listened to the creepy dying robots after all. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}} After returning to the Ark Grimlock used the Nucleon to repair all the damaged Autobots in the ship's medical bay (as well as [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], whom he didn't know was there). {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Following the Transformers' battle with [[Unicron]], Grimlock froze up entirely. It was then that [[Hi-Q]] (in the process of merging with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]) saw with "[[Powermaster]] eyes" that Grimlock wasn't malfunctioning, but changing. He used his Powermaster abilities to speed up the process and Grimlock burst forth in his new, more-powerful Action Master form. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

Meanwhile, Hi-Q's own mental merger with Prime was also accelerated by his contact with Nucleon. Soon afterward, the [[Last Autobot]] re-created Hi-Q as Optimus Prime in a new body. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}} 

=====Another Time & Place=====
As time progressed more and more Autobots, including Prime, [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]], [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] and [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]], also succumbed to mode-lock. [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and Slag were among the few that could still transform, but they had doubts that this would remain much longer. Hearing rumours of further developments on Hydrus Four, Grimlock led the Dinobots there to see if a cure could be found. Amidst a Decepticon ambush, he discovered a new version of Nucleon that lacked the side effects of the original and restored the ability to transform. {{storylink|Another Time & Place}} 

====''Transformers Comic-Magazin''====
The Decepticons on Earth had a team of Action Masters. These sinister types had the power to combine into ground stations, super-heavy vehicles and air units! {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 16|Transforming Robots in Action: The Case of Optimus Prime}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
[[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] was an Action Master.{{fact}}

===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
Optimus and Megatron's pre-G2 bodies share a striking similarity to their Action Master toys. Likewise Optimus Prime has been documented as searching out a New Energy source called Nucleon that's located within a black hole. Finally, Optimus Prime's Action Master was sold with New Years Convoy, and described as the intermediate form between Prime's various G2 Bodies. {{storylink|Transformers: G-2 (story page)|G-2}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{main|Monoformer}}
In the [[2005 IDW continuity]], nucleon does not appear to affect ability to transform. {{storylink|Life After the Big Bang}} {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}} {{storylink|The Permanent Revolution|The Permanent Revolution}} However, some Cybertronians had their [[transformation cog]]s removed for medical, political or religious reasons, and were known as [[monoformer]]s. {{storylink|Life After the Big Bang}} {{storylink|Some Of My Best Friends Are Autobots}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
After the starship ''[[Iron Hope (G1)|Iron Hope]]'' crash-landed far from Cybertron, the surviving crew—who would come to be known as the "''Iron Hope'' Hundred"—were forced to subsist on nucleon, rendering them permanently [[mode lock]]ed. Survivors of the disaster included [[Treadshot (G1)|Treadshot]], who was locked in robot mode, and [[Catgut]], who was locked in a quadrupedal form. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}}

Upon learning that her teleport rig used nucleon as a fuel source, Jumpstream noted that the substance was notorious for causing mode-locking. Perceptor pointed out to her that it took sustained amounts of nucleon abuse over a long period of time to affect one's physiology. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I}}

==Reception and legacy==
{{quote|I DEFINITELY like my transformers to transform. Down with the action masters.|Josh Freeman Frankel, 25 February 1994|[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/4ed4b0a1a761bcd7 alt.toys.transformers]}}

The Action Master toyline, depicting the obvious oxymoron of "Transformers who don't transform," generated initial ire ("BLASPHEMY!") from some fans. This was magnified as Action Masters were released in the final year of the original Transformers toy line in the US. When Transformers was summarily canceled in North America, some fans blamed the gimmick for the [[Ruined FOREVER|death of the franchise]] (despite the wide variety of other factors that doubtlessly were involved). 

One aspect Action Masters is notable for, however, is the mass reintroduction of "classic" characters. New toys for old characters was not a theme the original toy line visited very often–in fact, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee's]] re-imaged [[Throttlebot]] form [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Goldbug]] released in 1987, 1988's [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Classic Pretender]]s from 1989 were the only notable exceptions. In other words, to have a single sub-line with so many recurring favorites was, at the time, a novelty. In addition, the classic characters were designed to [[show-accuracy|resemble their cartoon counterparts more closely]]. For much of the Season 1 and 2 cast, the original figures having been designed years before they were stylized and simplified for the cartoon, these Action Masters were the closest likenesses of their fiction representations ever. Notably the first television commercial for the Action Masters featured a segment where the animated character models dissolved into film of the actual toys, suggesting that "show accuracy" was Hasbro's intended marketing strategy for the line.

As with many other changes to the Transformers brand, initial hostility towards Action Masters from the fandom eventually became less intense and diversified into a broad range of opinion. Some of the most in-demand vintage (and therefore expensive) ''Transformers'' toys are Action Masters, and new characters from this subgroup continue to appear in newer toy lines. For example:
[[File:Timelinestoy-BC2010DoublePunch.jpg|thumb|upright=2.0]]
* [[Double Punch]] started the trend with a new [[exclusive]] toy at [[BotCon Japan 1998]].  Another toy of Double Punch was produced for [[BotCon 2010]].
* [[Axer (G1)|Axer]] showed up in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline]].  Another toy of Axer (as [[Axor]]) would be released in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' 2010]] toyline. This toy would, in turn, be redecoed to homage [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] as [[Circuit (Movie)|a movie-universe character]] in the first [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service]] in 2013.
* Action Master Optimus Prime was [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]]d in [[Japan]] in [[2002]] as part of the "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|New Years Convoy]]" [[giftset]].
* ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] has design elements based on [[Rollout (G1)|Rollout]] (with his [[Mini-Con]] companion actually ''named'' [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]]).
* ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]]'s colors are a partial homage to [[Rad (G1)|Rad]].
* [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]] was an exclusive at [[BotCon 2009]]. Another Banzai-Tron (as [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]]) would be released in the ''Transformers'' 2010 toyline.  Yet another would be part of the ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' line in 2012.  Banzai-Tron and his partner [[Razor-Sharp]] also got new, still-nontransforming toys in the [[Transformers ULTIMATES!]] merchandise line.   
* [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] was homaged with [[Sparkcrusher]] in 2009.
* [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer]] (partially renamed into "Decepticon Slice") was an exclusive at BotCon 2010. Slicer was also homaged in the shared exclusive [[Dark Energon]] version of [[Wheeljack (Prime)#DarkEnergon|Wheeljack]] in ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]''. 
* [[Kick-Off (G1)|Kick-Off]] was an exclusive at [[BotCon 2012]].
* Soundwave's partner, [[Wingthing (G1)|Wingthing]], received new toys in the Japanese ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' line in 2012, and again as a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' figure in 2017, and then in ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' in 2020.  
* [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] was ported to ''[[Jackpot (Animated)|Animated]]'' as part of the first [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service]], and was later given a new [[Jackpot (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|G1-styled figure]] as part of the Amazon-exclusive "Golden Disk Collection" of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]''.
* [[Treadshot (G1)|Treadshot]] received a new figure as part of the Figure Subscription Service series 2.0 in 2014.
* [[Krok (G1)|Krok]] was featured in the Transformers Figure Subscription Service series 3.0 in 2015, and then received an additional new toy in ''[[Titans Return (franchise)|Titans Return]]'' in 2017.
* The Collection Pack version of [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#G2BruticusSet|Shockwave]] in ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' bore the same color scheme as the Action Master.  
* Rad's partner, [[Lionizer (G1)|Lionizer]], received a new [[Battle Master]] mold in ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' and was redecoed in more accurate colors in a ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Battle 3-Pack as "Captive Lionizer".
* [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] got a new toy in the ''War for Cybertron: Kingdom'' line.  
* The Action Master designs for both [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], as well as their respective partners [[Basher]] and [[Needler]], received new toys in the [[Transformers ULTIMATES!]] line - once again as non-transforming figures.  

In 2013, [[James Roberts]] could even say he'd have liked to see ''more'' Action Masters and they were "cool".<ref>[http://www.fullmetalhero.com/t14540/ Moonbase2's second interview with James Roberts - 58:20]</ref>

==Notes==
*It appears that the name "Action Masters" for this segment of the toy line was a very late decision: The 1990 Hasbro vendor catalog<ref name="vendor">[http://botriot.jemmagic.com/transformershasbro1990s.html 1990 Hasbro vendor catalog at Botriot.]</ref> consistently refers to the toys simply as "Action Figures", with no mention of the term "Action Master". It also makes mention of a different back story wherein the Transformers give up the ability to transform to transfer these powers to their weapons and vehicles.
*In an interview with [[Transformers Collectors' Club]], Simon Furman said that had the comic not ended at issue #80, Optimus Prime's return would not have come when it did.<ref>[[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 2|Club magazine #2]]</ref> Additionally, Furman said that he hated the idea of using Action Master Prime at the time, and hoped that by the time Prime came back, this Action Master plot would be [[Furmanism|over—finished]]!<ref>[[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 1|Club magazine #1]]</ref> Conclusion—the use of Optimus Prime in his Action Master version may very well have not occurred had the comic not ended when it did.
*Bob Budiansky's treatment for the Action Masters was printed in the [[Titan Books]] trade ''[[Transformers: Last Stand]]''. Bob can't remember writing it.<ref>[http://www.metalmachine.net/blog/2009/11/21/todds-take-with-bob-budiansky-the-architect-of-the-transformers/ Bob Budiansky interview]</ref>
*In a case of "too little, too late", the fourth (and final, only being released in Europe) assortment of Action Master figures made some minor course corrections in terms of figure design and accessories.  The fourth assortment figures no longer have blocks sculpted into the hips that forced the legs to move in 90° increments or awkward side angles.  Additionally, in keeping with other late Action Masters such as the Elites, there are minor uses of the then-new technique of textured plastic, as well as having sculpts that were mildly bulkier than previous waves.  Lastly, in lieu of animal weapon partners or action feature backpacks, fourth assortment figures all had partner machines that unfolded into helmets and backpacks, strictly split between beasts for Decepticons and artillery units for Autobots.
*The Action Masters' weapon-handle pegs, being 3mm wide, are compatible with the "[[c joint]]" weapon mounting system used on many modern toys, such as the 2011 version of ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]''.
*Excluding the Action Master Elite, regular Action Masters utilized elastic-and-hook joints (similar to many ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' toys and the [[Laser Rod]]s) in their hips. This gave them their relatively wide range of motion, but it also made them somewhat floppy, and the elastic could harden and become brittle with age. Legless Action Masters are sadly common on the aftermarket.
[[File:Unproduced_AM_Animatron.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|[[Serpentor|Totally new character]].
[https://www.yojoe.com/action/86/serpentor.shtml Yup]. (We were robbed!)]]
*Over the decades, an inordinate amount of Action Master concept art <ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2015/02/the-spacebridge-shares-unproduced-action-master-artwork/ A small partial spread of unproduced Action Masters, originally from the Generations Deluxe book.]</ref> along with resin models of both figures ''and'' vehicles of multiple <ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Prototypes/AMExoTankSuitProtoUnprod.html A resin model of an unproduced Action Master tank Exo Suit.]</ref> sizes <ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Prototypes/AMHalfTrackTankHardcopy.html A resin model of an unproduced motorized Action Master half-track vehicle.]</ref> have come to light, suggesting very strongly that Hasbro was betting big on the line.  While the idea was probably fueled by [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] being in one of its stronger sales periods <ref>[https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1989-05-07-8904100699-story.html "G.I. Joe: 25 and $2 Billion In The Till", Chicago Tribune, May 7 1989.]</ref> despite leaning slightly more into sci-fi at the time, the Action Master line ultimately fizzled in the United States. 
*Early plans for [[BotCon]] [[BotCon#BotCon 2017|2017]] would have seen Action Masters as the focus of the convention, with a box set "Action on Hydrus Four" featuring [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]], [[Skyfall (G1)|Skyfall]], [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]] and [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] in Action-Master inspired decos using [[Titans Return (toyline)|''Titans Return'']] figures.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-images-of-concepts-and-customized-figures-from-fun-pub-at-petes-robot-convention-2017/39073/]</ref>
*The Action Master name was brought back in 2020 by Takara Tomy for their release of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Transformers: Cyberverse]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Cyberverse (TakaraTomy)|Deluxe Class figures]]. Ironically, one of the big selling points for these figures is featuring far more involved transformations than the rest of the ''Cyberverse'' line!
