- Basher is an Autobot Action Master partner from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Where Tracks is all about being flashy and up front and center in battle, his smaller partner Basher is geared more for staying unseen in his job. He's got infrared and remote cameras for espionage jobs, and laser-beam "trip wires" to alert him to potential threats... and a set of heat-seeking missiles to eliminate said threats. All of these armaments are made available to Tracks when Basher combines with him as a weapons-pack and battle helmet.
Toys
The Transformers
- Tracks with Basher (Action Master, 1991)
- Known designers: Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy)
- Basher is a small light-green and blue anti-aircraft tank dimly similar to a Gepard. Pressing a trigger on his rear section spring-launches the turret forward; while this is pointless by himself, when Basher is plugged onto Tracks' back, the turret flips over Tracks' head to act as a battle helmet. Basher was, of course, only available with his larger partner.
- Basher's side-mounted triple-guns come off fairly easily, which can lead to them being lost.
Merchandise
ULTIMATES!
- Tracks (ULTIMATES!, 2021)
- Part of the second wave of Transformers ULTIMATES! from Super7, Tracks includes his Action Master partner Basher, though Super7 promotional materials simply label him as a "tank". It is currently unclear whether this accessory can interact with the Tracks figure.
- Preorders for Tracks (and the rest of Wave 2) opened on July 29 2021, and closed on August 27, with the toys projected to ship in summer 2022... a date Super7 missed severely.
Foreign names
- Italian: Blindo
