	'''Power Cycle''' is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, hidden deep in a puzzle. His motives and personality are never clear to those around him, and some speculate he could even be the prototype of a [[Powermaster]] [[Transformer]]. He's rarely seen without a [[human]] companion to aid in unlocking his [[transformation]], and to help provide locomotion. Maybe one day Power Cycle will open up and explain his origins and inner machinations.		'''Power Cycle''' is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, hidden deep in a puzzle.
