Push-Button

Push-Button is an Autobot Action Master partner from the Generation 1 continuity family.

"This doesn't conform to the traditional Transformers aesthetic. Disown. Disown."

Push-Button is the hopelessly mis-matched Targetmaster partner to Mainframe. You see, while Mainframe is absolutely enthralled by programming and frequently uses Push-Button to debug his programs, Push-Button would rather be on the front lines, destroying Decepticons with his alternate proton rifle mode.

Fiction

"He's getting away! Mainframe, quick, carry me up the stairs!"

• Mainframe with Push-Button (Action Master, 1990)

Part of the second wave of "basic" Carded Action Masters, Push-Button is an adorable little blue and yellow robot with treads instead of legs. He transforms via spring-loaded mechanism into a "proton rifle" that can be held by his pack-in partner Mainframe (or any other Action Master figure), and can combine with Mainframe's "vibro pulverizer" rifle to form a super weapon mode.

Notes

• The Action Master partner robots were given the "Targetmaster" classification retroactively by Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye profile series.
