Jackpot is an Autobot with the role of Strategist. True to his name he is very lucky and likes to make bets (which he usually wins). He belongs to the group called Actionmasters which are based on both existing and new Transformers characters. The Actionmasters do not transform, but their weapons or vehicles do. In this case Jackpot's partner Sights transforms into a "Photon Cannon" (according to his Tech Spec).

The Generation 1 Jackpot was released in 1990.
