- Skyfall with Top-Heavy (Action Master, 1990)
- Known designers: Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)
- Released in the seventh and final year of the original The Transformers toyline in the US (sixth and not-final in Europe), in the third wave of "basic" carded Action Masters, Top-Heavy is a robotic rhinoceros. Pushing down on his tail flips his head and a chunk of his inner body around via a spring-loaded mechanism, revealing a (non-firing) blaster. Folding his legs up forms his triple-barreled electro-pulse machine gun mode, which can be used by any regular Action Master figure. His gun barrel can be extended by attaching the handgun from any carded Action Master. His haunches have peg-holes on the side to mount standard Action Master weapons with.
- He was only available with his larger partner Skyfall.
