Although I suppose TFpril might be more appropriate. Yeah, back again and we'll be taking a look back at that 80's favorite, the Transformers.
Yeah, the Powerdashers! Another mail-in exclusive, the Powerdashers featured a pull back motor. You know, pull it back on the table and let it fly. Usually off the table and crashing into the wall.
The drill (later named Zetar in 2015) was a randomly selected model that you would get if you sent in some money and robot points. Yeah the robot was a sort of mobile drill. Pretty basic, even if the American release blunted the drill bit.
Since it was a mail-in no cartoon tie ins, but it did manage to appear in the comics a few times. It did show up in the mail-in flyer, although only the jet powerdasher was featured. Seriously, I didn't even know this character existed until a couple of years ago.
As for the comics proper, don't bother looking until the Dreamwave, which only featured Zetar in a cameo role, which would set the standard for the rest of the character's work. IDW and Kre-O were next, but unless you were especially looking for the character you probably wouldn't even see them.
The Powerdashers were pretty neat but the getting one by random rather annoyed me. A rant for another day.
