Action Master
A type of TransFormer which does not actually transform, but which is instead an action figure with advanced articulation (similar to a GI Joe figure). Half the Action Masters were converted versions of earlier characters, and all look like they should have alternative modes. They also have transforming companions or accessories. They are very controversial among transformers fans, because many feel that they aren't transformers if they don't transform.
Action Master Soundwave, unlike the original Soundwave, could no longer transform into a cassette player; he also could not eject cassettes. He did, however, have a companion, WingThing, which transformed into his weapon.

Targetmaster
A type of TransFormer which has a Nebulan companion (a small humanoid robot - according to the stories, a humanoid in a robot suit) who transforms into its weapon. Sometimes refers to the robot, sometimes to its companion.
The targetmaster Slugslinger is a robot who turns into a two-cockpit aeroplane. His Nebulan companion can be held in robot mode or attached to the back of the plane.

Entwife
Creature related to an ent, mentioned but never encountered in Lord of the Rings. The Entwives tended flowers in what is now the Brown Lands, whereas the Ents preferred the forests. A confusing idea - did ents and entwives produce little acorns? In which case, are they really one species, instead of two? And how did they manage it, if one lot lives in plains and the other in forests?
I always wanted to know what happened to the entwives and hoped they would turn up later in the book, but they didn't. Bugger.

Magnamund
The world in which the Lone Wolf and World of Lone Wolf gamebooks are set. Divided into two parts, with a huge rift between them, Magnamund consists of dozens of small countries and also some very scary wild areas such as the Hellswamp, Maakenmire, Doomlands of Naaros, etc. The final stage for the showdown between good and evil (!). The latter is represented mainly by the Darklords and their armies of monsters, but also by a variety of unpleasant beings ranging from the humanoid Drakkarim and Shadakine to the demonic Agarashi and the rat-men known as Vazhags.
