Battle Master

This article is about the 2019 gimmick. For the 1987 gimmick, see Targetmaster (technology). For the 2014 franchise, see Battle Masters.

Battle Masters are a cross-factional subgroup from the War for Cybertron Trilogy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

"When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go, you know, I went."

Battle Masters are small Transformers that can transform into weapons compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Not only can they provide adequate firepower on their own, they can also combine with other C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons to form bigger and badder guns.

This lineup needs a silver-colored Rhino that turns into a literal shield and we're good to go.

Notes

• "Battle Masters" are named as such either because Hasbro has lost the trademark for "Targetmaster", some have melee alt-modes, or both.
• As it is possible to detach limbs and reattach them to their repaints, the original 1987 color schemes may be easily recreated for some. Switching the arms of Blowpipe and Aimless will give them their original Targetmaster appearance, while Fracas may be created using parts from Aimless, Blowpipe and Caliburst.
