He has no elbows and he must scream.

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

What am I even doing here?

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 second Generation 1 miniseries, but did not appear anywhere in the story.]

Toys

Generation 1

Conehead!
  • 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", "Sky Dasher", and "Drill 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).
