	: Part of the second assortment of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s, released in the seventh and final year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' in the US, Jackpot is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure of a robot whose design shows elements of a sports-car alternate mode, likely a {{w\|Ferrari Testarossa}}. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.		: Part of the second assortment of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s, released in the seventh and final year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' in the US, Jackpot is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure of a robot whose design shows elements of a sports-car alternate mode, likely a {{w\|Ferrari Testarossa}}.

	: Part of the second assortment of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s, released in the seventh and final year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' in the US, Jackpot is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure of a robot whose design shows elements of a sports-car alternate mode, likely a {{w\|Ferrari Testarossa}}. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.		: Part of the second assortment of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s, released in the seventh and final year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' in the US, Jackpot is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure of a robot whose design shows elements of a sports-car alternate mode, likely a {{w\|Ferrari Testarossa}}.

But once there they got literally tripped up by more gang members, one of whom shot at Jackpot. The shot struck the middle of Jackpot's [[identification bolt]] and ricocheted into [[Detectas\|a police officer]] tailing them, sending the officer crashing to the ground.
