	:Power Punch transforms into a powder-blue wheeled vehicle with a huge cannon on its top. He is intended to be the rear half of a cannon transport, which he forms with his combiner partner [[Direct-Hit]], but can, of course, be connected to any other [[Micromaster Combiner]] or [[Micromaster Combiner Transport\|Combiner Transport]].		: Released in the seventh and final year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)\|original ''The Transformers'' toyline]] in the US (sixth and not-final in European markets), Power Punch transforms into a powder-blue wheeled vehicle with a huge cannon on its top. He is intended to be the rear half of a cannon transport, which he forms with his combiner partner [[Direct-Hit#Toys\|Direct-Hit]], but can, of course, be connected to any other [[Micromaster Combiner]] or [[Micromaster Combiner Transport\|Combiner Transport]] to form new weird vehicles.

	:Power Punch was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Direct-Hit, [[Half-Track (G1)\|Half-Track]], [[Fireshot]], [[Meltdown (G1)\|Meltdown]] and [[Vanquish]].		: Power Punch was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Direct-Hit, [[Half-Track (G1)#Toys\|Half-Track]], [[Fireshot#Toys\|Fireshot]], [[Meltdown (G1)#Toys\|Meltdown]], and [[Vanquish#Toys\|Vanquish]].

	: Power Punch is physically identical to the [[Hasbro]]-release, transforming the back half of a cannon transport truck. He can, of course, be connected to any other Micromaster Combiner.

	:Part of wave 5 of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege\|Siege]]'' ~~Micromasters~~, Power Punch ~~is a member of the [[Battle Squad]] and~~ transforms into the back half of the Cannon Transport vehicle along with [[Direct-Hit#Generations/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege\|Direct-Hit]] as the front end, which can be flipped upside down to be used as an over-the-shoulder weapon. As a ~~part~~ of ~~the [[C.O.M.B.A.T~~. ~~System]]~~, ~~their weapon mode can be attached to any toy with~~ a ~~[[5 mm post]]~~-~~hole~~. [[Fire Blast effect]]~~s can also~~ be attached ~~to various hardpoints on the toys, such as Power Punch's gun barrel. They're painted and molded such to stay as separate vehicles. Instructions show to attach the barrel~~ to Power Punch, however, it is packaged already attached. ~~Though, the~~ barrel can be ~~easily~~ detached and ~~mounted above Power Punch~~'s ~~head. The packaging artwork for both releases of this 2-pack depicts Power Punch~~ as ~~woefully mistransformed, appearing~~ to ~~merely~~ be ~~lying face-down whilst in robot mode~~, ~~as opposed to being~~ in ~~vehicle mode like his package-mate~~.		: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege\|Siege]]'' Micromaster two-packs, Power Punch transforms into a chunkier version of his original cannon trailer mode. This time, he has multiple ball joints for a surprising amount of robot-mode articulation. His cannon barrel is also compatible with [[Fire Blast effect]] parts. The instructions claim his cannon needs to be attached to Power Punch, however, it is packaged already attached. The barrel ''can'' be detached and used as a separate accessory, though it's not particularly recommended as it's not meant to be, and rests pretty deep in the base.

	:Power Punch ~~comes packaged together~~ with ~~Direct~~-~~Hit~~.		: He can connect with his pack-in partner [[Direct-Hit#War for Cybertron: Siege\|Direct-Hit]] to form their cannon transport mode thanks to a [[5 mm post]]-hole on his front end. Their combined mode also doubles as a bazooka-like cannon simply by flipping the whole thing upside-down, held by other toys by a 5 mm post on Power Punch's cannon base, with a quartet of Fire Blast effect ports up-front (plainly visible on his robot shins).

	:~~Though designated for release in the first quarter of 2020,~~ Power Punch~~'s wave reached U.S. store shelves~~ in ~~late 2019~~.		: The packaging artwork depicts Power Punch as woefully mistransformed, appearing to merely be lying face-down in robot mode, rather than properly transformed to vehicle mode like his package-mate.

	:This figure was redecoed into ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Earthrise]]'' [[Roadburner#~~Generations~~\|Roadburner]] and ~~retooled~~ into [[Missile Master#~~Generations~~\|Missile Master]].		:This figure was redecoed into ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Earthrise]]'' [[Roadburner#War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Roadburner]], and [[retool]]ed into [[Missile Master#War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Missile Master]].

The two releases are virtually identical aside from the packaging (and retains the original character art error, of course).

	On a post-war Cybertron, Power Punch and Direct-Hit were among the few [[Builder of Cybertron\|Builders of Cybertron]] who maintained their mobility due to their more energy-efficient [[Micromaster]] bodies. The pair were posted to guard [[Tesarus (polity)\|Tesarus Arena]] in anticipation of a [[Resistance]] attack. They encountered the [[Maximal]] terrorist [[Grimlock (G1)\|Grimlock]] and his underlings sneaking into the arena, and attempted to bar their progress. While Direct-Hit engaged Grimlock in battle, Power Punch grappled with The [[Manterror\|Man Terror]], until [[Snapper]] shot him in the back.
