Toys
The Transformers
- Shockwave with Fistfight (Action Master, 1990)
- Known designers: Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)
- Part of the second assortment of individually-carded Action Masters, released in the seventh and final year of The Transformers in the US (sixth and non-final in Europe), Fistfight is a black and purple "droid" unit Pressing a trigger on his top flips up a spring-loaded (non-firing) cannon from his main body. Fistfight can bend backwards at the spine to form a large "lightning rifle" mode. He can be held by any Action Master figure, and his barrel can attach any carded Action Master's hand-held weapon as an extension.
- Like the similarly-designed Glitch, Fistfight's robot arms come off fairly easily, though the fit is tight enough to keep them in place normally. (This may be a deliberately designed feature: the pegs that connect his arms to his body also allow the arms to be held in any Action Master's fists.) Nonetheless, this can lead to them being easily lost.
- He was only available packed in with Action Master Shockwave.
Notes
- The Action Master partner robots were given the "Targetmaster" classification retroactively by Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile series; however, Fistfight was among the Action Master partner robots not profiled at all, on account of being partnered with a pre-existing Transformer who already received a profile in non-Action Master form. Years later, the Transformers Roleplaying Game described him as a Mini-Con, as the game rules unilaterally apply the term to pretty much every smaller-than-normal 'bot.
