Power Cycle is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The 1984 Power Cycle. Stylish, loaded for battle, and, best of all — well-stickered.

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.

Until then, fight on, brave Power Cycle.
