- Action Master Elites are a subgroup from the Generation 1 Continuity family.
Action Master Elites are Action Masters—the group of Transformers who are unable to transform—who are able to transform. There's something not quite right about any of that.

Windmill was the captain of the Sojourner's Passage, an ill-fated exploration vessel that crashed onto Archa Nine. He presumably did not survive the crash. Betrayal

Generation 1 (Europe)
The Action Master Elites were released only in Europe and Australasia in 1991, at a time when the US toyline had ended (albeit temporarily, as it turned out). Each toy had a built-in button that, when pressed in vehicle mode, performed motion on the toy. Three of the four released bear strong resemblance to previously-existing Transformers, however, only one of those three had toys which had previously been released in Europe.
- Autobot Action Master Elites (1991)
- Omega Spreem. Changing into a Cybertronian tank, the robot's design (though not his colours) bears a strong resemblance to Omega Supreme. However the original Omega Supreme toy was not released in Europe.
- Windmill. The only fully original design, who transforms into a high-impact, counterstrike helicopter.
- Decepticon Action Master Elites (1991)
- Double Punch. Changing into a mechanical scorpion, both his design and colour scheme strongly resemble BlackZarak, the upgrade (and retooling) of Scorponok in the Japanese Super-God Masterforce franchise. Yet BlackZarak was never available in Europe, and the Action Master Elites were not released in Japan.
- Turbo Master. Transforms into Cybertronian dual-propeller helicopter. His robot mode bears a resemblance to Bruticus, who, for once, actually was released in Europe.
