Off-Road Cycle
From MediaWiki
- The Off-Road Cycle is an Action Master vehicle from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Off-Road Cycle is Axer's Action Master vehicle. Axer custom-designed his all-terrain cycle to compensate for his lack of speed. It's armed with quadrophonic sonic blasters, a magnetic-lock targeting destabilizer rifle and heat-seeking proton missile batteries. It can transform into a battle station, complete with dual photon cannons.

Generation 1
- Turbo 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.
Trivia
- Axer's bio calls his vehicle a "Turbo Cycle". However, the 1990 Transformers catalog and Axer's instructions call his vehicle the "Off-Road Cycle". Prowl's Action Master vehicle is also called a Turbo Cycle.
