Which Action Master is, ironically, not powered by Nucleon?

The Elite Action-Masters?
Optimus Prime in the Marvel comics?
Dunno.

Any of the accessory companions? Or the Elite guys.

All of them! They are powered by elastic bands and the screams of children.

The answer is: Blaster's Flight-Pack.
According to his Tech Specs Bio, it's energon powered!

Is that the irony? I've never really understood irony.

Ironic that the point of Action Masters was that Transformers switched to using Nucleon, yet we have one here that still uses Energon.
Also ironic: Transformers that don't transform.

Yes, but he isn't powered by it as the question posed.

According to Blaster's toy's Tech Specs Bio he is.

No, his Tech Specs say that his Flight-Pack is powered by Energon. The Flight-Pack is his clip-on accessory.

Forgive me, Nigel, but I am somewhat at a loss as to the point you're trying to make.

The point is, Blaster's backpack is powered by Energon, but he isn't.
The analogy would be to say that humans are powered by aviation fuel when in an aeroplane.

If you agree with Nigel, then please explain his point to me. I am still not getting it.
The question was: "Which Action Master is, ironically, not powered by Nucleon?" Answer: Blaster's Flight-Pack.
I am sorry for all the consternation the quiz has caused.

It's as Ralph said earlier, a backpack is not an Actionmaster. A backpack is an Actionmaster's accessory, not the Actionmaster itself.

Ah, I see now what you're getting at.
I had always thought of the Action Master partners as also being classed as Action Masters.
Still, these things can be open to numerous interpretations.

I suspected that might be the issue.  (Let's put this to bed now and not raise the question of whether a backpack is a partner...) |

No, no. Carry on. It's clearly a very important issue for you and Ralph.
And besides, Flight-PackTM is no ordinary back-pack!

The Flight Packs are indeed not Action Masters. It would be like calling regular flavour Prime's blaster a Transformer.
I go now to have some (low fat) crisps.

Who's to say his gun wasn't too? |

I put it that since Action Master partners which are named and trademarked (e.g. Turbo Board, Flight Pack, and Fistfight) and which can transform should be considered sentient beings worthy of the name Action Master as Transformers in their own right, as they are not mere guns to be fired then discarded like other weapons!
Equality for Action Master partneres now! Equality for all!
