| The name or term "Turbomaster" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Turbomaster (disambiguation). |
- The Turbomasters are an Autobot subgroup from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Toys
Generation 1
- Turbomasters
- The Turbomasters were part of the final year of Generation 1 products in the European, Australasian, and Canadian markets, and the "headliners" for that year (Thunder Clash is presumed to be the new leader of the entire Autobot faction in fact, though Europe/Australasia was a little liberal when it came to handing out "Leader" Functions and 10 Ranks). They have the unifying gimmick of powerful spring-loaded missile launchers that become engines/turbines in vehicle mode.
- These missile launchers use pretty small projectiles, which means they would never ever pass U.S. safety standards. In fact, every use of the molds in the U.S. line has either neutered the launchers or altered them to fire much larger ammunition.
- In at least France, the Netherlands, and Belgium, the Turbomasters were referred to as Canon Masters [sic].
Notes
- The four smaller Turbomasters were used to make the Operation Combination Road Corps Autobots, colors and all.
