Generally, Generation 1 line of Transformers figures were endowed with unique gimmicks through the years. Pretenders (transforming robots shelled within animals, human or vehicles) were introduced, and later the Micromasters (minituare robots, some with large platforms or bases) and Action Masters (robot decoy with vehicles). Hasbro/Takara then came up with a new series of toy, which almost spelled out the end of Generations 1: The Turbomasters & Predators
Making their market presence only in Europe, these new series boast firing gimmicks, which are somehow banned in the US due to it's non-compliance to toy safety. While Turbomasters are a group tag name worn by the Autobots, their counterparts Predators easily befits the Decepticons label.
Shown in these two pictures is a member from the Turbomasters, named Rotorstorm. Much of Turbomasters main trait is how the thrusters from the vehicle mode is used as weapon for robots mode. Rotorstorm here is seen with his double thrusters a.k.a big guns, which packs quite a blow (literally, which is how I finally understand US's regulation towards the toys after a hit to the nose).
