This article is about the Decepticon Micromaster. For his Japanese Autobot counterpart, see Power Punch (ROC).
Power Punch is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"FALCON PAAAAAAAANCH!"

Power Punch is utterly loyal to his combiner partner, Direct-Hit, and serves as his second-in-command on the Battle Squad. This loyalty blinds him to Direct-Hit's shortcomings as a leader, so he blames the team's poor performance on the other members.

Toys

Generation 1

  • Battle Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)
Power Punch transforms into a powder-blue wheeled vehicle with a huge cannon on its top. He is intended to be the rear half of a cannon transport, which he forms with his combiner partner Direct-Hit, but can, of course, be connected to any other Micromaster Combiner or Combiner Transport.
Power Punch was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Direct-Hit, Half-Track, Fireshot, Meltdown and Vanquish.
This toy was released without changes in Takara's Return of Convoy line as the Autobot Crane Cannon W Team's Power Punch.


Notes

There's maybe a bit of him under Soundwave's left elbow there.
  • Power Punch is the only member of the Battle Squad not to show up as one of Soundwave's Neo-Decepticons in "Counterpoint", the Free Comic Book Day issue that began Regeneration One. Given the framing of the image in question (right), this is most likely because Power Punch was standing behind Soundwave.
