The Off-Road Cycle is an Action Master vehicle from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Soundwave's commute just got way faster.

The Off-Road Cycle (also known as a Turbo Cycle) is Axer's Action Master vehicle, a custom-built motorcycle armed with quadriphonic sonic blasters, a magnetic-lock targeting destabilizer rifle, and heat-seeking proton missile batteries. It can transform into a battle station, revealing dual photon cannons.<ref>Axer's Generation 1 on-package bio</ref>

When Axer went to another dimension, he didn't ride a "turbo cycle," but rather he transformed into one instead. While this alt-mode doesn't look like its namesake, it does bear much of the same weaponry.<ref>Axer's Robots in Disguise on-package bio</ref>

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

The comical domino effect of knocked-over motorcycles always ends at this one.

Axer used his Turbo Cycle to make up for his alt-mode's lack of speed. More Than Meets The Eye

2019 IDW continuity

  • Off-Road Cycle with Axer (Action Blaster Vehicle, 1990)
    • Accessories: cannon, 2 missiles, seat rest
Axer's Turbo Cycle is a rugged-looking off-road "hawg" with a left-mounted sidecar that seats any normal Action Master figure, though there is enough room in the back end to seat a second rather un-securely right behind the pilot. The sidecar's side panel also flips down to reveal a footpeg, allowing a second Action Master to ride along. In this mode, the two missiles attach to the front wheel's left side, while the hand-cannon mounts on the right side of the bike's main body.
The cycle transforms into a twin-cannoned field artillery piece, with the bike's exhaust pipes flipping forward to form the cannon barrels. The two missiles can be plugged into the ends of the cannons. The seat cover can also detach and form a small shield any Action Master figure can use.
This set came with the Action Master figure of Axer.

Notes

  • In all forms of fiction (bios, comics) this vehicle is called a "Turbo Cycle," but in descriptions of the toy (packaging, instructions, catalog) it's called an "Off-Road Cycle." We have chosen the latter as this article's title to distinguish it from the "Turbo Cycle" that Action Master Prowl rides.

Foreign names

  • French: Moto Tous Terrains (Europe)
  • Italian: Super Moto ("Super Motorcycle")
