Toys
Generation 1
- Boss (Turbomaster, 1992)
- Accessories: Engine/missile launcher, 3 missiles
- Boss transforms into a light blue "Batmobile"-like concept car, with transparent pink windows and headlights. The large turbine on the front of the vehicle mode is a powerful spring-loaded missile launcher that can pivot up and is capable of firing the three small yellow missiles reasonably far. The spare missiles are stored on his rear spoiler.
- In robot mode, Boss is armed with his engine turbine launcher, and his missiles still store on the spoiler which becomes his knees.
- This toy was released in Japan as Mach Road.
Notes
- While the toy itself has a head resembling a simplified version of Optimus Prime's, the card art mysteriously features a mostly different head that lacks a faceplate.
- Boss appears on two Predator Megavisor slides; in robot mode on Snare's, and in car mode along with the other three small Turbomasters on Skydive's.
