Powerdasher is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity.
Powerdasher is either a single Autobot who is constantly evolving between entirely different forms (which include a car, a drill vehicle and a jet) or three separate but unnamed individual Autobots.
Powerdasher recently came to Earth to aid the Autobot cause. He is friendly and cheerful, and can operate at various levels of kinetic energy - whatever that means.
Fiction
Dreamwave Continuity
The Powerdashers were placed aboard the Bumblebee-commanded ship Orion, and were activated to repair it after it was shot down on Earth by Sunstorm.
(Note: The car-form Powerdasher was on the cover of the first issue of the second Generation 1 miniseries, but did not appear anywhere in the story. He wasn't the only one to do this, either.)
Toys
Generation 1
- Powerdasher (car) (Mail-away, 1984)
- Powerdasher (jet) (Mail-away, 1984)
- Powerdasher (drill vehicle) (Mail-away, 1984)
- Powerdasher was only available as a mail-away premium from Hasbro for $3 and 2 Robot Points. However, you could not pick which version of Powerdasher you were sent.
- All three Powerdasher toys had pull-back motors in vehicle mode, which allowed them to roll across flat surfaces.
Trivia
- The Diaclone names for the toys that became Powerdasher were "F-1 Dasher", "Drill Dasher", and "Sky Dasher". These names are sometimes used by fans to refer to the individual Powerdasher toys.
- The term "Powerdasher" first appeared in Takara's US-marketed Diakron toyline, and was then apparently carried over by Hasbro into Transformers.
- In both Diakron and the French release of Diaclone, the Powerdasher toys received individual names: Aragon (car), Cromar (jet), and Zetar (drill).
