Once the evil clone known as '''Nemesis Prime''' (ネメシスプライム ''Nemeshisu Puraimu''), '''Yokohama Convoy''' (ヨコハマコンボイ ''Yokohama Konboi'') takes after his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|template]]'s sense of justice and protects the city of [[Yokohama]].

==Fiction==
===Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base===
[[File:YDSB Nemeses.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"There's only enough room in this town for ONE boring black repaint, pardner..."]]

In [[2014]], Nemesis Prime was constructed by Doctor Arkeville, perhaps under the influence of [[Unicron]], in his secret Decepticon base in Yokohama, [[Japan]]. The mad scientist used stickers to convert his clone of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into an evil being and was about to insert an evil soul via a [[Dark Energon]] Emblem Cookie. But before the clone could awaken, [[Yokohama Prime]] broke in and used his Autobot Cookie to bring back the inherent goodness of Optimus Prime. He was almost successful, with the stickers even peeling off. But his efforts were in vain as [[Predacon computer|NAVI-ko]] arrived from another time and used her Yokohama Decepticon Cookie to win Nemesis Prime over to her side.

Nemesis vowed to replace Yokohama Prime as the Town Commander of Yokohama. Yokohama Prime recruited [[Kawasaki Prime]] and [[Mach Five Racing Prime]] to aid him against the evil clone, but they ended up being blown away by Nemesis's firepower. NAVI-ko met up with him and pointed out the nearby [[Transformers Expo]]. Inside, he declared his plans for domination, only to be knocked back by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Primes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Nemesis was helped to his feet by [[Nemesis Grimlock]] and another [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)|Nemesis Prime]]. The Nemeses then battled the collected Autobots.

[[File:Yokohama Convoy.jpg|thumb|]]
But as the battle began, the Dark Energon in Nemesis Prime interacted with the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], the [[AllSpark]], and the [[Seed]] in the Expo, threatening to create a large explosion that would consume the Expo. Nemesis realized that somebody masterminded his very existence to produce this turn of events. As Yokohama was under his protection, Nemesis Prime risked his life by placing all of the Dark Energon energy into his stickers, which were subsequently destroyed by the observing crowd. He seemed to die from the effort, but, in reality, his true self was restored, albeit without any recollection of being Nemesis Prime. He called himself "Yokohama Convoy". {{storylink|Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base}}

===Precursor World===
[[File:Yokohama Convoy Selects.jpg|thumb|150px|left]]
A [[Primus Vanguard|Warrior of the Seven Lights]] resembling Yokohama Convoy was a member of the [[Red Order]] of the [[Primus Vanguard]]. When the [[G1 World|universe-hopping]] [[Terrormander]] attacked the [[Red Planet]], he was granted the honor of firing the Order's [[Matrix Buster]] by his commander [[Red Sentinel Prime]] as his corpsmen cheered him on. Unfortunately, the [[Angolmois Energy]]-enhanced [[Seacon (BW)|Seacon]] proved too agile and he failed to hit anything. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 1}}

Datadoggieein: Adding needed subgroup insignia

{{subsuite|content=* [[Insignia|Main]]
* [[Insignia/Gallery|Gallery]]
* ''[[Cybertronian military insignia/gallery|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''}}{{-}}
{{picsneeded|ROTF Stratosphere, FOC multiplayer, One Sentinel, Decepticon Heavy Brigade}}
There are so many variations of [[insignia]] across the breadth of the [[Transformers brand]] that it might be a fool's errand to try and list them all — but we are those fools!

While many of these insignia, such as that of the [[Wreckers]], are used in multiple [[continuity|continuities]] or [[continuity family|families]], others, such as the [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]] insignia, are confined to [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|only one]].

{{TOC|limit=3}}
==Factions==
===Autobots===
In the real world, the Autobot insignia was derived from the head of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s toy.

Its in-universe origin varies: in [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] it was applied by the [[Quintesson]]s to their "consumer good" creations, while in [[Marvel Comics continuity]] it is seemingly based on the [[Last Autobot]]. In [[2005 IDW continuity]] it was "created" by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who claimed it to be the face of [[Primus]], as part of an ontological paradox.

</gallery>

===Decepticons===
In the real world, the Decepticon insignia was based on [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s toy head. In the 1980s the crest of the symbol usually had a "squared-off" bottom, while modern portrayals generally have the crest pointed at the base.

Its origin in-universe is generally less-explored than that of the Autobots. In the [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] it was a symbol applied to the Quintessons' "military hardware", while in the [[live-action film series]], [[Aligned continuity family]], and ''[[Transformers One (film)|One]]'', it is based on the face of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].

[[File:Terran_Insignia.png|thumb|This is not a squad, it's a family]]

'''Terrans''' (''Cybertronus terran'')<ref>"[[Secret Legacy, Part 2]]"</ref> are [[Transformer]]s "born" on [[Earth]], brought about by [[Quintus Prime]]'s [[Emberstone]]. Instead of being composed of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] [[living metal]], they are made of Earth's own elements, and their molecular structure looks as organic as it does mechanical. Though their systems do register [[energon]] levels, they don't actually use it to survive. Instead, they consume liquid [[water]], though it has to be found in underground pools which likewise bear the touch of [[Quintus Prime]].

The first five Terrans were created by [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto]]'s contact with the Emberstone, and are bonded to them by [[cyber-sleeve]]s. Due to this and their adoption by the Malto family, these Terrans are sometimes affectionately known as the '''Maltobots'''.

Known Terrans include:
*[[Twitch]]
*[[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]]
*[[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]]
*[[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]]
*[[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]]
*[[Aftermath (ES)|Aftermath]]
*[[Spitfire (ES)|Spitfire]]

[[File:SecretLegacy-Part1-MeetTheTerrans.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2|''He's got the touch, they got the power.'']]
The first two Terrans, [[Twitch]] and [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]], were created when the siblings [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto]] discovered the [[Emberstone]] of [[Quintus Prime]] in a cave beneath [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]], [[Pennsylvania]]. When they activated it, the Emberstone created Twitch and Thrash from the cave water, an act witnessed by [[Mandroid|Dr. Meridian]]'s [[Arachnamech]]s. Having been granted [[cyber-sleeve]]s that linked them to the newborns, the humans took them to their family farm. Electing to keep Twitch and Thrash a secret, Robby and Mo hid them in their barn, providing them with comic books about the Cybertronian race to inform them of their heritage. The next morning, they had their father, [[Alex Malto]], recite the history of the [[Autobot]]/[[Decepticon]] [[Great War (ES)|war]] only to learn that Twitch and Thrash felt disconnected from Cybertron and instead sought to learn about Earth. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}}

A later play session allowed Twitch to discover her [[scanning]] abilities, letting her take on a drone as an [[alternate mode]]. Feeling left out, Thrash was taken to Witwicky so he could scan an alternate mode of his own. Their excursion was interrupted by the arrival of more Arachnamechs. While Twitch managed to dispatch one, the rest were defeated by [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]], [[Elita-1 (ES)|Elita-1]] and [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]]. The adults decided that Twitch and Thrash would be best cared for in [[G.H.O.S.T.]] custody, only for Meridian to pose as G.H.O.S.T. and abduct them. Scanning the two, Meridian discovered their partially organic make-up, dubbing them as Terrans before he prepared to dissect them. The cyber-sleeves worn by the Malto siblings allowed G.H.O.S.T. to track down the Terrans and rescue them from Meridian's base, Thrash even managing to scan a motorcycle alternate mode in the process. In the aftermath, Optimus agreed to keep the Terrans a secret and allow them to remain with the Maltos, assigning [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]] to mentor them. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 2}}

Though keeping G.H.O.S.T. ignorant of the Terrans, {{storylink|Classified}} Optimus informed the other Autobots of the existence of Earth-born Transformers. {{storylink|Traditions}} {{storylink|Decoy (episode)|Decoy}} With the fate of the [[AllSpark]] unknown, {{storylink|Warzone}} and suspecting that the handful of Cybertronians on Earth represented the last of their kind, the Autobots came to view the Terrans as hope for rebuilding their species. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

On Robby and Mo's first day of school, Twitch and Thrash began malfunctioning. Eventually losing their higher functions, the two Terrans made for the cave system that had birthed them. Bumblebee and the Malto children arrived in time for Twitch to cause a cave-in whereupon the Terrans succumbed to [[stasis lock]]. Though it was initially feared that they had passed, Robby and Mo splashed enough of Quintus' water on their friends to revive them. {{storylink|Friends and Family}}

[[File:Earthspark-AOEP1-NewTerransBorn.jpg|thumb|left|300px|When life ends, another begins.]]

After being forced to remain hidden during a Decepticon attack, Twitch angrily revealed enough of the Terrans' origins to Optimus Prime for him to recognize the Emberstone, he and Bumblebee setting out with the Terrans to retrieve it. No sooner had they claimed the stone did [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]] and [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]] attack, releasing a swarm of Arachnamechs. Outnumbered, Mo beseeched Quintus for aid, the Prime activating the Emberstone to create three new Terrans; [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]], [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] and [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

With Megatron and [[Dot Malto]] held prisoner by Meridian, Optimus concocted a plan to rescue them, having the new Terrans pose as Decepticons who would turn over Optimus, Twitch and Thrash to Meridian in exchange for safe haven. Though the ruse was found out in short order, and the group was forced to contend with Meridian's base defences, they managed to rescue Dot and Megatron. In the aftermath, the three new Terrans were brought to live on the Malto farm. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 2}}

Over the course of the next several weeks, Hashtag and Nightshade would gain alt-modes and abilities much like their older siblings. Hashtag acquiring a G.H.O.S.T. surveillance van that gave her the ability to connect to any Wi-Fi point on the planet. {{storylink|Hashtag: Oops}} While Nightshade obtained an owl [[beast mode]] that granted them flight and energy powers. {{storylink|Missed Connection}} Jawbreaker meanwhile decided to take his time when it came to deciding his alt-mode, feeling that vehicles weren't right for him. {{storylink|Outtakes}}

[[File:HomePart1-Terrans.jpg||thumb|right|upright=2|Wherever we go this family is our fortress.]]
Seeing the Terrans as a renewed chance of hope for their species, Megatron took the group and their Malto siblings to visit [[Spacebridge Memorial Park]]. There he taught them about the Autobot/Decepticon war and the cost it had on both Cybertron and Earth. However, Thrash repeatedly questioned Megatron on what he thought was placing an unfair burden on the group to clean up the Decepticon's mess. He was pulled back when Mo pointed out he was hoping to teach them to ''not'' make the same mistakes their predecessors made. During the trip, the group encountered the lost Decepticon [[Shockwave (ES)|Shockwave]] who regarded the Terrans as abominations. {{storylink|Warzone}}

When taken by Robby and Mo to [[Philadelphia]] for the first time, the Terrans found themselves tricked into entering an underground Bot Brawl fighting ring, where they coincidentally ran into Bumblebee. When the mind-controlled [[Grimlock (ES)|Grimlock]] was revealed to be Bee and Jawbreaker's opponent, they managed to free the Autobot. Leaving the Dinobot to cool off, the Terrans briefly took their leave, only to discover that he'd vanished when they returned. {{storylink|Home, Part 1}}

The search for Grimlock soon turned into a battle with the returning Mandroid. After taking down one of Mandroid's newest Arachnamech creations, Hashtag was enthralled by Mandroid, turning her size and Wi-fi powers against the rest. Empowered by a mysterious energy that originated back from the cave where the Terrans were born, the other Terrans managed to free their sister, racing back to Witwicky in hopes of getting home before their parents woke up. {{storylink|Home, Part 2}}

On Robby and Mo's first day of school, Twitch and Thrash began malfunctioning. Eventually losing their higher functions, the two Terrans made for the cave system that had birthed them. Bumblebee and the Malto children arrived in time for Twitch to cause a cave-in whereupon the Terrans succumbed to [[stasis lock]]. Though it was initially feared that they had passed, Robby and Mo splashed enough of Quintus' water on their friends to revive them. {{storylink|Friends and Family}}

[[File:Earthspark-AOEP1-NewTerransBorn.jpg|thumb|left|300px|When life ends, another begins.]]

After being forced to remain hidden during a Decepticon attack, Twitch angrily revealed enough of the Terrans' origins to Optimus Prime for him to recognize the Emberstone, he and Bumblebee setting out with the Terrans to retrieve it. No sooner had they claimed the stone did [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]] and [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]] attack, releasing a swarm of Arachnamechs. Outnumbered, Mo beseeched Quintus for aid, the Prime activating the Emberstone to create three new Terrans; [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]], [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] and [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

With Megatron and [[Dot Malto]] held prisoner by Meridian, Optimus concocted a plan to rescue them, having the new Terrans pose as Decepticons who would turn over Optimus, Twitch and Thrash to Meridian in exchange for safe haven. Though the ruse was found out in short order, and the group was forced to contend with Meridian's base defences, they managed to rescue Dot and Megatron. In the aftermath, the three new Terrans were brought to live on the Malto farm. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 2}}

Over the course of the next several weeks, Hashtag and Nightshade would gain alt-modes and abilities much like their older siblings. Hashtag acquiring a G.H.O.S.T. surveillance van that gave her the ability to connect to any Wi-Fi point on the planet. {{storylink|Hashtag: Oops}} While Nightshade obtained an owl [[beast mode]] that granted them flight and energy powers. {{storylink|Missed Connection}} Jawbreaker meanwhile decided to take his time when it came to deciding his alt-mode, feeling that vehicles weren't right for him. {{storylink|Outtakes}}

[[File:HomePart1-Terrans.jpg||thumb|right|upright=2|Wherever we go this family is our fortress.]]
Seeing the Terrans as a renewed chance of hope for their species, Megatron took the group and their Malto siblings to visit [[Spacebridge Memorial Park]]. There he taught them about the Autobot/Decepticon war and the cost it had on both Cybertron and Earth. However, Thrash repeatedly questioned Megatron on what he thought was placing an unfair burden on the group to clean up the Decepticon's mess. He was pulled back when Mo pointed out he was hoping to teach them to ''not'' make the same mistakes their predecessors made. During the trip, the group encountered the lost Decepticon [[Shockwave (ES)|Shockwave]] who regarded the Terrans as abominations. {{storylink|Warzone}}

When taken by Robby and Mo to [[Philadelphia]] for the first time, the Terrans found themselves tricked into entering an underground Bot Brawl fighting ring, where they coincidentally ran into Bumblebee. When the mind-controlled [[Grimlock (ES)|Grimlock]] was revealed to be Bee and Jawbreaker's opponent, they managed to free the Autobot. Leaving the Dinobot to cool off, the Terrans briefly took their leave, only to discover that he'd vanished when they returned. {{storylink|Home, Part 1}}

The search for Grimlock soon turned into a battle with the returning Mandroid. After taking down one of Mandroid's newest Arachnamech creations, Hashtag was enthralled by Mandroid, turning her size and Wi-fi powers against the rest. Empowered by a mysterious energy that originated back from the cave where the Terrans were born, the other Terrans managed to free their sister, racing back to Witwicky in hopes of getting home before their parents woke up. {{storylink|Home, Part 2}}

'''Primax 504.0 Gamma''' is a universe in the [[Primax]] universal cluster.

==Fiction==
===Ask Vector Prime===
During one particular battle, the [[Beast (G1)|Beast]] inflicted a massive body count on both the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s. As a result, the Cybertronians were hard-pressed to fend off an eventual assault from [[Unicron]], who managed to deal a fatal blow to [[Primus]] before he was driven off. The fabric of reality began unraveling, and the remains of the dimension were eventually consumed by the [[Hytherion]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

==Notes==
* Primax 504.0 Gamma is the [[universal stream]] designation corresponding to the ''[[The Beast Within]]'' comic miniseries, taking its specifications from the publication date of the first issue.
* Declaring it to be destroyed is possibly the single greatest accomplishment of [[Ask Vector Prime]]. [[Fandom|We]] love you forever, [[Jim Sorenson]].

[[File:SixshotBoxArt.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Determined to make bad where his [[Quickswitch|Autobot son]] went good, Sixshot joins the Decepticons!]]

Few Decepticons are as feared as '''Sixshot''' (aka '''Six Shot''' and '''[[Greatshot]]'''), either by the Autobots or by their own comrades. As the first Transformer [[Six Changer]], able to assume six different modes, he is officially designated as a "Solo Transformer Assault Group" (or "S.T.A.G."), but is more colloquially known among those who know and fear him as a "one-robot army". Sixshot's destructive ability is the stuff of legend, a gleeful murderousness that is matched in ferocity only by the intensity with which he sets to the bloody tasks given him. He is not to be mistaken for a mindless weapon, however—he is highly intelligent, and not without honor of a warped sort. He grants due respect to any opponent he deems worthy, and always speaks well of them after he has inevitably dispatched them to, as he puts it, "the great junkyard in the sky".

These attitudes are reflective of Sixshot's understanding of the inevitable end that waits for a warrior such as he, and the hope that when his own end eventually arrives he will be remembered in the same way. But that end will be long in coming, for although Sixshot believes that life is only worth living for as long as there are opponents who can challenge him, his mantra does not preclude his own allegiance changing in order to make new enemies and challenges where none existed before.

Sixshot was among the Decepticons who stormed [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in [[2007]] in order to seize control of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. When the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] barred the villains' way, [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] called upon Sixshot to take them on, and he proceeded to effortlessly use each of his five [[alternate mode]]s to down the five individual members of the team. In order, he shot down [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] while in tank mode, transformed to [[beast mode]] and flew up to destroy [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]], landed and transformed to armored car mode to shoot down [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], transformed to jet mode to shoot [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] and finally transformed into his gun mode which [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] used to shoot down [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. Converting back to [[robot mode]] to survey his handiwork, Sixshot mirthfully dismissed the brief battle as being "like shooting [[cyber-duck]]s in a barrel." {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

[[File:Sixshot abel.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Sixshot, a member of the [[Six Clan]], had a long, bloody history of being a scoundrel and a killer. Millions of years prior to his becoming Decepticon [[City Commander]], Sixshot traveled to the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]] and tried to rip off a mining operation. One of the miners, [[Abel]], stood up to him and Sixshot brutally murdered him. Abel happened to be a good friend of [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]'s, however, this was before he underwent the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster process]] and he was too weak to stop Sixshot. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

[[File:Sixshot first app.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|So the character that everyone remembers from this series isn't even a Headmaster, huh? [[Sixshot (G1)#Titans Return|Gotta fix that.]]]]

Sixshot debuted in 2011 with the function of "Decepticon [[Trypticon (G1)|Dinobase]] Ninja Commander".<ref>''Destron Dinobase Ninja Sanbō'' (デストロンダイノベース忍者参謀), infamously translated as "Ninja Consultant" in the [[Omni Productions|Omni Productions dub]]. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6jE-_AfZqc Ninja Consultant!! at Youtube.com]) This would be localized in [[Shout! Factory]]'s subtitles as "[[Phase Sixer|Phase Six]] Decepticon officer".</ref> In this respect, he was something of an arch-enemy to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. They had their first encounter when Sixshot led [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Triple Changer]]s against the Autobots on Earth, trying to prevent reinforcements from reaching Cybertron. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] went to Earth, Sixshot and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] were dispatched to find out why. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Sixshot was immensely powerful and soon usurped [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] as Galvatron's bestest fwend. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} He personally guided Trypticon into battle on Earth in order to test Galvatron's [[Madmachine]] on Metroplex. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

Sixshot and Galvatron came up with a plan to steal energy from the six major nations on Earth. Using his until-then hidden ability to assume six different modes, combined with his ninja shadow powers, Sixshot would pose as a group of robots extorting energy from Earth, throwing the Autobots off-balance as he would not appear to be associated with the Decepticons. In his various modes, Sixshot made several terrorist strikes on the countries he was blackmailing. He made two vital mistakes, though: one, by not telling Scourge and Cyclonus about the plan, they recruited Trypticon to keep this "mystery robot" from muscling in on Decepticon turf. And two, he attacked Japan. Nobody attacks Japan on the [[Trainbot]]s' watch. Sixshot was swarmed with enemies in Japan, first the combiner [[Raiden]], then the misguided Decepticons leading Trypticon into the fray, and finally Chromedome and the Headmasters, who had finally recognized him as the evil ninja from Master millions of years before. All the ninja tricks in the world couldn't get Sixshot out of THAT ruckus unscathed. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

[[File:Sixshot Scorponok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Later, when Galvatron stormed Cybertron to capture the super-metal known as [[Cybertonuron]], Sixshot happened to let it slip to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] that Galvatron said he wouldn't need the Headmaster anymore once the Cybertonuron was his. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Coincidentally enough, Galvatron vanished in a huge explosion just hours later, and Scorponok assumed command of the Decepticons. He declared his new position before Sixshot, Soundblaster and the others, and began hatching evil schemes of his own. As Scorponok sent the Headmasters and Triple Changers to capture the energy-absorbing satellite [[Sol 1]], Sixshot occupied the Autobots on Earth so that they couldn't interfere. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Sixshot also coordinated Scorponok's scheme to distract the Autobots with a volcanic eruption in Peru. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

In order to keep the Autobots from interfering with Scorponok's plans on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Sixshot and Trypticon intercepted them as they left Autobot City. Sixshot used his six modes to keep the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s distracted and off-balance. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Later, he left for Chaar to attend the debut ceremony of MegaZarak, Scorponok's massive new [[Transtector]]. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}} When a mysterious UFO appeared on Earth, Sixshot was swallowed up inside its luminescent form right before Soundblaster's optics. He reappeared with the UFO on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] in the midst of a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, when it was revealed that the UFO was a starcruiser piloted by the returning Decepticon emperor, Galvatron. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

After learning the Autobots were going to stockpile large quantities of energon and send it to the needy planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], Galvatron had Sixshot coordinate a raid on the relief mission. Sixshot and his leader joined the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s and [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s (and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]) for an attack on the Trainbots before they could take off with the energon. The battle between the two forces stalemated, as the Decepticons failed to capture the energon, but also prevented the Trainbots from successfully fleeing with it. After shooting down the trains, Sixshot fought their Light-Speed Commander, [[Shouki]]. The stalemate eventually ended when the Autobots pulled back and sent the energon from their second base on [[Athenia]] instead. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[File:Hm18 negotiating with galvatron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|You were right about one thing, Motormaster. The negotiators ''were'' short.]]

Sixshot was next seen using his ninja powers to disguise himself as Galvatron for a meeting with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. While "Galvatron" pretended to entertain the notion of a joint energy generating project with the Autobots, the real Galvatron gathered his forces to strike out at energy sources elsewhere in the universe. The Autobot double agent [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] reported on the ruse to his superiors, and Sixshot was revealed. As he led the Decepticons on Earth in a retreat, Sixshot blew up the Space Bridge ring as they were departing, preventing Autobot pursuit. Furthermore, because the Space Bridge nexus was already destabilized after the destruction of Mars, the Space Bridges on Athenia and Cybertron were also destroyed thanks to Sixshot's attack. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}}

[[File:Sixshot attacking.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

As the Decepticons flew out into deep space to raid new sources of energy, Sixshot clearly distinguished himself as Galvatron's right-hand man. On [[Hive (planet)|Hive]], Galvatron only took Sixshot and the [[Horrorcon (G1)|Horrorcons]] with him to force the entire planet to surrender to the Decepticon cause. They fought their way to the palace and its energy stockpile, but were blocked at the five yard line by Chromedome and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Fight to the Death on Planet Hive!!}} On their next stop, the Decepticons attacked Sperity, the more developed of the [[Twin Star]] planets. Galvatron sent Sixshot and Soundblaster to uncover as much energon as they could, but the supply was drastically short. They could barely scrape together enough cubes to fill a room. The Decepticons learned too late that all of Sperity's people and energon had been diverted to the sister planet, Toruin. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} When the Decepticons came to [[Daros]] to stock up on "goodwill" energon from their ally, the corrupt governor, Galvatron sent out Sixshot and the Horrorcons to stall Fortress's men so that their refueling could be completed. Sixshot successfully kept the Autobot Headmasters occupied long enough for Scorponok to fill up. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} Next, on [[Paradise]], Sixshot was sent to occupy the Autobots alone while the other Decepticons gathered energy. He waged a solo Transformer assault (group) on the Battleship Maximus, challenging Fortress's massive vessel. Its weapon systems were inoperative at the time, but hey, it ''looked'' impressive. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}} The Decepticon mission continued at full pace, and they succeeded in accumulating energon on roughly half of the thirteen worlds they visited. Finally, on the [[Pirate Planet]], Sixshot welcomed their new allies, the [[Clone (subgroup)|Decepticon Clones]]. The Clones and Sixshot aided Galvatron in the search for hidden [[proton energy]] on the planet before finally starting their return journey back to Chaar. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

[[File:Sixshot modes.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|I've got nothing to lose and I've got nothing to prove, so I'll be dancing with myself.]]

Back in our galaxy, Sixshot aided Galvatron in carrying forward his ultimate plan. Sixshot cautioned his leader that Scorponok would not sit idly by while Galvatron made himself all-powerful, but Galvatron dismissed the threat of Scorponok as ultimately insignificant. As the final preparations were being made, Sixshot led an army of Horrorcons, [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s in an assault on Earth. Once the Autobot energy facility in [[Florida|Miami]] was under siege, Sixshot returned to Autobot City with Trypticon to attack Ultra Magnus while his troops were scattered dealing with other threats. Sixshot and Ultra Magnus fought in personal combat, as Sixshot made full use of his Six-Changer and ninja multiplication powers. After a tireless barrage, Sixshot unveiled his hidden seventh mode, the '''Wingwolf''', possessing the power of all his separate modes combined. The Wingwolf's assault was too much for Ultra Magnus, and he succumbed to his wounds. The enraged Autobot Headmasters arrived just in time to witness his fall, and they turned their anger on Sixshot, driving him from the murder scene. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

[[File:Sixshot grand galvatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Flush with victory, Sixshot continued the war on Earth, unleashing [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and the Horrorcons to attack five different locations at once, stretching the Autobot forces to the breaking point. He also uncovered the secret location of Scorponok, who had gone AWOL earlier during the siege of Earth. Reporting back to his commander on Chaar, Sixshot informed Galvatron of his findings. During this meeting, Galvatron unveiled his full plan for the stockpiled energon—he wanted to become another [[Unicron]], incorporating Earth itself into his body to become the planet-sized [[Grand Galvatron]]. To do so, he would require..."donations" from the finest of Transformer warriors, using them as spare parts to assemble his massive new frame with the best transforming parts available. Galvatron informed Sixshot that his own impressive transforming powers would mark him as the first warrior Galvatron would honor by disassembling.

Less than thrilled with the idea of being scrapped for Galvatron's insane ambitions, Sixshot reported to Scorponok and forged an alliance with the Headmaster leader in order to hold off his grisly fate. When Galvatron came upon them, Sixshot and Scorponok faked a scuffle until the Autobots arrived on the scene as well. Sixshot was caught up in battle with Metroplex, who was seeking revenge for the death of Ultra Magnus. Fortunately for Sixshot, the Autobot Headmasters united against Galvatron and left him buried deep beneath the icefields of Alaska. Although Sixshot and Scorponok were forced to flee, Sixshot no longer had to worry about being incorporated into the "Grand Galvatron". {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

Sixshot devoted himself to the new leader, Scorponok, and continued his efforts to upset the Autobot activity on Earth. He and Trypticon staged another attack on Autobot City, injuring Spike Witwicky in the process. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} Scorponok was soon driven off Earth after the Autobots discovered the weak point on his MegaZarak Transtector, and so the Decepticons' new target was the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. When six robots escaped Master in an attempt to warn the Autobots, Sixshot pursued them along with [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]], [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] and [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]]. They came across the Battleship Maximus in space, and Sixshot engaged the Autobot Headmasters in warfare, using his multiplication power to confuse them. Chromedome and his allies managed to hold their own, however, and the fighting continued until a massive explosion of plasma energy rocked the area. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

[[File:Sixshot kidnap.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Just... don't think of that image too much, okay?]]

In the aftermath, Sixshot found Slugslinger and his men had been fused to the Master refugees in the plasma explosion. He brought them back to Master to recuperate, and these new [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] joined Scorponok's forces for the invasion. The Decepticons were forced to modify their plans once the Battleship Maximus arrived in defense of Master. At Scorponok's command, Sixshot used his ninja powers to cast an illusion disguising him as Chromedome. He used his disguise to get close to Chromedome's friend [[Jack (G1)|Jack]] and kidnap him so that the Decepticons could learn about the [[Master Sword]] and the Headmasters' weaknesses. Sixshot tortured the poor scientist vigorously, but even [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s hypnotic powers could not compel Jack to reveal what he didn't know. With his usefulness at an end, Sixshot concocted a cruel plan for using their prisoner against the Autobots. Jack was turned into a suicide bomber, implanted with a powerful explosive and hypnotically compelled to return to the Battleship Maximus and detonate. Chromedome was forced to shoot down his own friend in order to protect the others. Enraged over the deaths of Jack, Abel, and Ultra Magnus, Chromedome launched a furious assault on Sixshot with his fellow Headmasters. Sixshot's arms were blasted completely off his body in the fight, and he was forced to flee before the vengeful Autobot finished him off. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

[[File:MasterSwordDanger Floppydisk.jpg|thumb|225px|The Autobots could really use Chip Chase right now.]]

In order to uncover the secret of the Master Sword, Sixshot had the young Autobot named Wheelie kidnapped and dangled above a pit of acid. He demanded that Fortress reveal the secrets within three hours or else Wheelie would die. Chromedome and Danny Witwicky managed to rescue Wheelie from the Decepticons, but Sixshot and his allies were able to steal the data they wanted from Fortress anyway. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} As Scorponok continued construction on his new super weapon, Sixshot led a group of Decepticons to distract Fortress Maximus, keeping him busy elsewhere while the final stages were being completed. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Eventually, the [[Zarak Shield]] was completed, and the Decepticons rose up from beneath the city center in a massive battle. Sixshot fought against Fortress's warriors and the junior soldiers Chromedome had been training. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

[[File:Sixshot Daniel Daira.jpg|thumb|left|225px|So, uh...how about that Internet? Lotta stuff on that Internet...]]

As the Decepticons made their way back towards Earth, Scorponok recklessly carried the scorpion through an asteroid field against Sixshot's warnings, causing damage to the ship. After Sixshot pointed out his lord's error, Scorponok ordered him out of the ship to attack the pursuing Battleship Maximus alone. During the battle, one of the Autobots' main cannons was jettisoned, and both it and Sixshot were swept up in a space vortex, depositing them on the planet [[Daira]] far from the battle. After reviving, Sixshot discovered Danny Witwicky had been inside the turret when it was launched. Although the boy was initially frightened, Sixshot assured Danny it was beneath him to make war on small children. As the two began to separate, a group of rock-creatures rose from the ground to attack. Sixshot defended both himself and Danny, and the two formed a cautious alliance. "Uncle" Sixshot kept Danny alive on Daira until the Autobot Headmasters arrived to rescue him. Chromedome was spoiling for a fight, but Danny insisted they leave Sixshot alone. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}}

[[File:Sixshot Juno.jpg|thumb|225px|They found my only weakness, unconvincing flame effects!]]

Despite being abandoned on the field of battle, Sixshot returned to the Decepticons and presented himself before Lord Scorponok once again for service. Scorponok's ship was still in need of repairs, and so Sixshot prepared a distraction—he challenged Chromedome to single combat on [[Juno]]. He hoped that destroying Chromedome would cripple the Headmasters' effectiveness and keep all of the Autobots busy until the scorpion could be repaired. Hours later, the duel began, and both combatants fought furiously until Danny arrived, throwing himself between them. While Sixshot denied Danny's pleas to their friendship, he also could not bring himself to shoot the boy in order to get to Chromedome. The stalemate ended abruptly with a massive explosion: Scorponok had laid a series of bombs around Juno in the hopes of eliminated both Sixshot and the Autobots. With Danny in danger, Sixshot declared the duel over. He charged Chromedome with getting the boy to safety, and saved Danny from falling into a ravine just before seemingly being consumed by a blast of lava himself. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

[[File:sixshot bye.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"For the last time kid I don't give autographs!".]]

Sixshot survived the blast, and made his way to Earth by clinging to the outside of the Battleship Maximus as it returned. By this point, Sixshot had deemed Scorponok his enemy, and was searching for a way to even their score. With his falling out with Scorponok not common knowledge, he made contact with Bruticus and the Decepticon Clones to gather information about Scorponok's current plans, and their upcoming rendez-vous at the North Pole. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} After a battle with the Autobots in Egypt, Sixshot secretly followed Scorponok back to the underwater entrance to [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]]. Seeing Sixshot, Scorponok once again tried to pretend he was overjoyed by the Ninja Commander's return. Sixshot played along long enough to learn about Scorponok's plans for the [[crysmagnetal]], and then attempted to depart. A suspicious Scorponok refused to allow him to leave and fired upon Sixshot, but only succeeded in hitting one of the ninja's holographic doubles. While at the North Pole, Sixshot intervened twice in the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, saving Danny from [[Battletrap (G1)|Battletrap]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. In the end, he swore not to return to the Decepticons, and bade Danny farewell. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

In the year 2011, [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] made plans for an all-out assault on the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. These plans, however, required that the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] successfully escape from planet [[Master (planet)|Master]] and reach [[Chaar]]. With the Decepticon Headmasters being tailed by the Autobot Headmasters, Galvatron dispatched Sixshot to ensure that his newest recruits escape their pursuers. Arriving just in time, Sixshot easily defeated the Autobot Headmasters, then angrily ordered the Decepticon Headmasters to head for Chaar so they could participate in the assault on Cybertron. His mission successful, Sixshot left the defeated Autobots to lick their wounds. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3|The Great Transformer War #3}}

[[File:Sixshot Soundblaster goals.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Jesse, what the hell are you talking about]]

For the sake of proving how insanely ''evil'' he was, Sixshot one day just decided to up and steal a capsule of emergency food rations from a spaceship. The Autobot Headmasters and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] attempted to stop him, but they were no match for the ninja, who vanished in a cloud of smoke.

Applauding himself as the "Devil King of Space", Sixshot then swooped down to a nearby planet to relax. Basking in the beauty of nature, Sixshot decided to share his pic-a-nic basket with all the cute and cuddly forest creatures romping and playing on and around him. Suddenly, Daniel popped up behind him, noting that he was nothing more than a big ol' softy. As it turned out, Daniel had latched onto Sixshot as he was making his escape from the Headmasters. Daniel asked Sixshot to join the Autobots since he was actually just a total poser, but Sixshot explained that he owed a ninja debt of ninja loyalty to [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and could do no such thing.

Then Daniel got shot in the arm. As the boy recovered, Sixshot recognized the group of gun-toting rednecks as [[Space Hunter]]s. Not about to let them kill all the cute animals (and Daniel), Sixshot transformed to all six of his modes, defeating the Hunters, and then to his Wingwolf mode just for the sake of overkill. With the Space Hunters fleeing, Sixshot saw to dressing Daniel's wound and then, with a speech about power, honor and loyalty (and after sending an SOS to [[Athenia]] to get Daniel a ride home), he zoomed off into space. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 4|The Headmasters #4}}

After the defeat of [[Scorponok (G1)|MegaZarak]], when all the other Decepticons were driven from the planet, Sixshot chose to blaze a new path in his life. Sixshot's next goal was to travel the galaxy and become the greatest warrior in the Universe, learning new transformations from various creatures. His first task was to stay on [[Earth]] and learn how to transform into a human being. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8|The Headmasters #8}}

Sixshot was one of the Decepticons who followed [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] to the planet [[Nebulos]] in search of the Autobots who had fled there. He acted as an air transport, part of a battalion carrying Decepticons from their spacecraft to the surface of the planet. Upon greeting Lord [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]]'s faction of Nebulans, he noted, "Strange creatures await us." Maybe they were ''too'' strange because he was never seen again. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

While [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] was off looking for some new [[Energon]] source, Sixshot gathered volunteers for an unspecified mission to make [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]'s life interesting. He managed to rustle up [[Pounce]], [[Wingspan]], and [[Flywheels]]. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

Sixshot took part in an attack on [[Tau-Ursa]], allowing Galvatron to pick up the last component needed for his [[Nullification Cannon]]. As a result of the attack, the Decepticons leveled the entire city. They then headed for Cybertron, where Sixshot led a group in creating a diversion. He took great delight in baiting Hot Rod, promising that he would reveal his other three alternate modes to the Autobot someday. When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] realised that the diversion was to cover Galvatron's attack on the Energon plant, Sixshot's team retreated, their job done. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

Once the [[Triple Changer]]s turned out to be a success, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] sought to create an even more impressive warrior that could transform into an unprecedented six modes. Shortly after finishing with the being he named Sixshot, Shockwave berated Blitzwing for acting out of rank, in response to which Astrotrain later suggested that Blitzwing (the first triple Changer) no longer was Shockwave's favourite. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} Shockwave's short rule was ended by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] before his project could be unveiled, and so apparently passed under Megatron's radar. While Megatron had moved his attentions to [[Earth]], Sixshot was seen examining the remains of Blitzwing at the deserted site of Shockwave's former base. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{Note|[[Cold War (issue)|Earlier in the series]], [[Octane]] was shown piloting a land vehicle that was clearly Sixshot's tank mode, which was later jacked by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. This vehicle never transformed or showed any signs of sentience, so whether or not it was '''actually''' Sixshot is debatable. [[James McDonough]] later noted in an interview that it was not some random [[easter egg]], and that its inclusion was deliberate foreshadowing of the future of Shockwave's experiments in multiple transformations.}}

Before the war, Sixshot attended a rally held by [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] as the Decepticon movement was gathering speed. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} When the planet subsequently plunged into all-out warfare, Sixshot distinguished himself as one of the single-most powerful Decepticons, with armature composed of metals drawn from core of a black hole and a power core consisting of a "self-regenerating [[dark matter fission cell]]" making him an untiring, unrelenting force of utter destruction. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4|Devastation #4}} At some point, he underwent the same [[ununtrium]] coating process already applied to [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] and [[Heretech]], and thus became one of the [[Warriors Elite]]. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}} [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] spoke out in fear of the power Sixshot commanded, but Megatron was not foolish, having had the six-changer fitted with a secret "off switch" that could shut him down if need be. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}} Sixshot fought alongside the other Warriors Elite in the [[Battle for Hell's Point]] {{storylink|The Gloaming}} and once commanded a [[Worldsweeper]] during the war. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}}

[[File:IDW Spotlight Sixshotshootsstuff.jpg|225px|thumb|left|Sixshot is so powerful, he defies all laws of perspective.]]

As the war moved from Cybertron to other worlds, Megatron developed a multi-phase [[infiltration protocol]] for invading and conquering other worlds. Selected to be one of three "[[Phase Sixer]]s" deployed in the final stage of the protocol to bring utter devastation to any chosen worlds, Sixshot was informed of this fact in a teleconference with Megatron and his other two choices, [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] and [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], the latter proving far less enthusiastic than Sixshot and Black Shadow about their appointment. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}}

Over time, Sixshot's lethal nature and the sheer horror of his job resulted in his being ostracized by his fellow Decepticons, leaving only the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]—a troop of Decepticon warriors who looked up to Sixshot and aspired to be a powerful as he—as the closest he could consider to friends. Although not the most ''social'' of warriors, Sixshot did miss the camaraderie of battle, and eventually became tired of his role, losing the glee he used to have and becoming bored with it all.

[[File:sixshot-devastation1a.jpg|right|260px|thumb|Trying to warn his boss that setting off this chain of events will only lead to ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]''.]]

When the Terrorcons disappeared during a mission to the planet [[Mumu-Obscura]], Sixshot set out to rescue his "friends". Discovering that they were in the clutches of a group of destructive aliens known as the [[Reaper]]s, who had razed Mumu-Obscura of all life, Sixshot was offered a proposition by their leader [[Deathbringer (IDW)|Deathbringer]]: defeat the Reapers in battle, and the Terrorcons would live. Sixshot fought valiantly, but the Reapers proved to just be toying with him, and the battle concluded when Deathbringer revealed that the entire fight had been a test of Sixshot's power—the Reapers wanted the Decepticon to join them. Although tempted by the offer of a ''cause'' to fight for instead of the degrading, dull destruction of his job, Sixshot found that he could not pass Deathbringer's final test—to kill the Terrorcons himself—and Deathbringer allowed the Decepticons to all leave alive in the hope that when they crossed paths with Sixshot again, he would be ready. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

[[File:sixshot-devastation3d.jpg|225px|thumb|left|Think the insurance company will cover those?]]

Sixshot was soon summoned to the planet Earth by Megatron after the Decepticon leader was bested in battle there by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Escalation issue 6|Escalation #6}} As Earth was presently only in phase two of infiltration protocol, Sixshot was as confused by his early deployment as the other Decepticons were worried by it, but chose not to press the issue with the furious Megatron. {{storylink|Devastation issue 1|Devastation #1}} Ordered to hunt down and destroy Optimus Prime's unit, Sixshot followed location co-ordinates relayed by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and intercepted the Autobots' ''[[Ark-19]]'', blowing it out of the sky with a single shot. {{storylink|Devastation issue 2|Devastation #2}} The craft crashed into the [[Gulf of Mexico]], and believing all aboard destroyed, Sixshot then turned his attention to [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]], [[Verity Carlo]], and [[Jimmy Pink]], who had ejected in an escape pod as the ship went down. Ratchet and his human allies got a head start when Sixshot was briefly distracted by some human fighter jets that he effortlessly destroyed, but the Decepticon soon tracked them to an ambulance pool in [[Pensacola]]. Unhindered by the local rules of engagement, Sixshot began destroying all the ambulances (in the process making himself the first Transformer witnessed by humanity at large), forcing Ratchet to reveal himself rather than cause human casualties.

[[File:sixshot-devastation3e.jpg|right|225px|thumb|Some moron brought a cougar to a party and it went berserk.]]

The chase continued with Sixshot in wolf mode, pursing Ratchet out of town and to the Gulf of Mexico's edge, where he was prevented from killing him by the emergence of the still-living crew of the ''Ark-19'' from the water {{storylink|Devastation issue 3|Devastation #3}} Shrugging off their attacks, Sixshot took on the seven-strong team of Autobots single-handedly, badly wounding [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and forcing all save Optimus Prime to escape via [[orbital jump]]. Sixshot found that the Autobot leader gave him a considerable run for his money, but he was forced to break off the fight when he was summoned back to Decepticon headquarters to deal with a more urgent threat: the Reapers had arrived on Earth! {{storylink|Devastation issue 4|Devastation #4}} {{storylink|Spotlight: Grimlock}}

[[File:sixshot-devastation5c.jpg|125px|thumb|left|Speedlines accompany Sixshot wherever he goes.]]
Engaging the Reapers in battle in [[Oregon]], Sixshot was again offered a place in the group by Deathbringer, this time with the promise that he would die if he refused: if not at the Reapers' hands, then at the hands of his own maddening isolation. Sixshot's struggle was suddenly resolved by the appearance of Starscream from the Decepticon base, challenging Sixshot to a duel to the death. His decision made for him, Sixshot changed sides, at which point Starscream activated Sixshot's "off switch", a verbal command of "Reset: pi-orion-actual-orbit. Enable." Sixshot immediately shut down and crashed. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}}

Sixshot's body was recovered by [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}} and brought to the [[Dead Universe]] scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], who repaired him but implanted a device in his brain which placed him under Jhiaxus's control. Operational again, Sixshot was deployed to the fourth moon of [[Bhul]], there to guard one of the [[Nega-Core]]s the Dead Universe Transformers required for their [[Expansion]]. Any attempt to get to the Nega-Core would've involved a vicious battle that an attacking force would lose, {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} so the Autobots snuck in through the back instead. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

[[File:Squashed Sixshot.jpg|right|upright=1.3|thumb|Dehn-dehn-'''''DEHHHHHHHHHHH!''''']]

Freed of Jhiaxus's control following the defeat of the Dead Universe crew, Sixshot traded the scientist's technology to Megatron in exchange for his freedom. At last unencumbered by the weight of his duty as a Phase Sixer and able to enthusiastically enjoy himself in his work again, Sixshot went on a snatch-and-grab mission to recover secret Autobot scientific research, sneaking into [[Orvus Base]] and killing most of the crew before they knew what hit them. The [[Throttlebot]]s were stationed there, however, and were able to escape with the data to the planet Orvus Base orbited, [[Salvvatan VIII]]. Sixshot pursued the small Autobots to a mysterious deserted city on the planet, where their fight triggered some unusual alarms, prompting a giant arm to emerge from the city and crush Sixshot. This failed to incapacitate the Decepticon, so the city—in actuality, [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]—completed its transformation and stomped on Sixshot, successfully putting him out of commission. {{storylink|Spotlight: Metroplex}}

Sixshot soon came back online and attacked the remaining Throttlebots as they tried to leave Salvvatan VIII, damaging their shuttle and forcing them to crash land on [[Regalis V]]. However, Sixshot was somehow repelled and [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]] believed that they managed to kill the Six-Changer. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}}

Sixshot was well-known and feared as a "solo assault team", having completed many dangerous missions during the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part One}} He became one of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s top lieutenants in [[The Rise]] and was forced to evacuate a Rise base under the [[Memorial Crater]] after it had been discovered by Autobot security forces. After harshly disciplining his overeager subordinate [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]] for drawing the attention of [[Security Operations]], Sixshot ordered her and [[Shadow Striker (G1)|Shadow Striker]] to destroy the base and eliminate witnesses in order to protect The Rise's secrets. As Shadow Striker set explosives within and Flamewar went topside to deal with any Autobots above, Sixshot went to intercept [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] after they had entered. While he got the drop on and pinned down Chromia, Sixshot was run-through from behind by Windblade's sword and forced to retreat after hearing Shadow Striker announce that the base would soon explode. He transformed to jet mode and retreated alongside his subordinates just before the detonation. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}}

Sixshot, along with [[Whisper (G1)|Visper]] and [[Storm Cloud (G1)|Storm Cloud]], were sent to extract [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]] from the [[Ascenticon Guard]]'s headquarters. Sixshot, still smarting from the wound Windblade gave him, used his armored car mode to breach one of the fortress' gates and came into conflict with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], who tried to prevent them from absconding with Barricade. After defeating the little 'bot with some inside help from [[Flywheels|Skytread]], Sixshot and the others accomplished their mission. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] visited The Rise's remote base in the badlands, he ordered the entire place to be put on lockdown and everyone but Shockwave, Sixshot, and [[Slipstream (G1)|Slipstream]] to stay in their quarters until further notice. Sixshot and his fellow lieutenant Slipstream were ordered by Megatron to stand and watch as he brutally beat Shockwave to the brink of death, simply to establish his utter authority over The Rise. Sixshot and Slipstream had no qualms over Megatron's assertion of dominance. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

[[File:Tremors SixshotRumbleFrenzy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Wolf-taicho!]]
The shift in power seemed to leave the Rise's hierarchy confused, however. Sixshot came to Shockwave to complain about [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] requisitioning his troops for a mission to Iacon, only to learn Shockwave had no knowledge of the mission. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} Learning that Security was closing in on them, Sixshot informed the in-hiding [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] that they were being transported away and they'd better not make any more trouble for him. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}} Unfortunately, the two were stranded in the wilderness along with some other "problematic" Risers after [[Roughstuff|their transport]] crashed.

After the Rise was absorbed into the Ascenticons and the entire movement rebranded as the [[Decepticon]]s, rumors began to circulate that Megatron was planning on having Sixshot become the new leader of the former Ascenticon Guard. {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}} Megatron unveiled Sixshot as such during a staged interview with [[Andromeda (G1)|Andromeda]] that was broadcast across [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], seeking justice for Sixshot's earlier desecration of the Memorial Crater, infiltrated [[Decepticon Headquarters (G1 Cybertron)|Decepticon HQ]] and confronted him. Sixshot had no desire to fight his former comrade, but after it became apparent Cyclonus was out for blood, the two engaged in a brief but intense combat. Sixshot managed to halt the fight when he told Cyclonus that the [[Autobot]]s had released [[Pyra Magna]] from prison. A greater grudge now having overtaken his current one, Cyclonus stood down and Sixshot promised to do his best to get him in a position to kill Pyra Magna. {{storylink|War World: Hunt|Hunt}}

Sixshot watched Megatron rage after learning the Autobots had abandoned Iacon. {{storylink|War World: We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness|We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness}} Once he learned Megatron planned on assigning [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] a significant new position in the hierarchy, Sixshot raised concerns about the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]'s true loyalties, prompting Megatron to give the job to [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|I Have No Mouth And I Must Starscream}} After [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] reopened [[Swindle's|his casino]], Sixshot inspected the joint and watched a wrestling match between [[Crasher (G1)|Crasher]] and [[Tentakil (G1)|Tentakil]].

When [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] returned to Cybertron and met with Megatron, Sixshot pulled a gun on the former [[Exarchon]] loyalist and expressed extreme distrust of him. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} After [[Termagax]] had been located out by the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], Sixshot fielded the entire Decepticon Guard to take the [[Enigma of Combination]] from her, finding that the Autobots had arrived there first. Sixshot exchanged some threatening words with Skytread, who was still bitter over losing his job as head of the Guard, before sending the [[Rainmaker]]s out ahead to soften up the enemy. Unexpectedly, the Autobots had prepared for this and shot the Rainmakers down en route. Sixshot had little patience for Skytread's snark about the situation, slapping his subordinate and ordering the Decepticons to advance. Transforming to his wolf mode, Sixshot leaped into the fray as the battle began in earnest. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II|Sea of Rust II}}

[[File:Enigmatic SixshotLeadsRetreat.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.7]]
After Termagax deployed her horde of [[spectrosynth drone]]s onto the battlefield, Sixshot grew frustrated and ordered the [[Battlecharger]]s to clear a path for him through them so he had an open run at [[House (building)|Termagax's home]]. He was intercepted along the way by Skywarp, who [[teleportation|teleported]] inside to retrieve the Enigma of Combination himself. After Skywarp snagged the artifact, he was engaged in a teleport skirmish with [[Jumpstream]], and Sixshot transformed to jet mode to follow them as they popped in-and-out around the battlefield. Sixshot backed off when he saw [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] come up from behind and bite down on Skywarp, forcing the teleporter to drop the Enigma. It fell to the ground in front of Skytread, who snatched it up as Sixshot landed to confront him. Skytread smugly ventured that he could use the Enigma to take back his position of authority from Sixshot, but Sixshot simply shot his predecessor in the chest. At that moment, seismic activity caused the cliff that Skytread was at the edge of to collapse, and he fell into the Sea of Rust with the Enigma. Hungry [[rust worm]]s began to devour Skytread as he begged for help, but Sixshot was unable to retrieve the Enigma as it and Skytread's remains were pulled under the surface. With the artifact lost for now, Sixshot ordered a Decepticon retreat. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

After [[Team Stream]] managed to capture [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Sixshot was there when the prisoner was presented before Megatron. Still holding a grudge against him, Flamewar tried to intimidate Sixshot, but only left him confused by her half-baked threat. Later, when Ultra Magnus was freed from captivity by a strike team of Autobots, Sixshot received intelligence that they had holed up in Swindle's and took a squad of Decepticons to corner them in the building. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Two}} A fight broke out after the Decepticons breached the door and Sixshot transformed to wolf mode to attack Ultra Magnus. Magnus slammed him into his own troops and the Autobots managed to escape by bringing some of the building down around everyone. Roughstuff brought Swindle to an infuriated Sixshot to answer for the debacle, and Sixshot grudgingly accepted Roughstuff's return to the Decepticons. Sixshot let Swindle off with a warning, but everyone's attention was soon drawn to [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]' dragon mode erupting out of the remains of the building, his body now home to the resurgent [[Exarchon]]! {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Three}}

Sixshot subsequently returned to Decepticon Headquarters. When he found Cyclonus punching his way past [[Roughstuff]] and [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]], Sixshot demanded an explanation, Cyclonus warning that Exarchon had returned. Feeling that the Threefold Spark's return explained the recent disappearances, Sixshot brought Cyclonus before Megatron to repeat the warnings, ones that the Decepticon leader was disinclined to believe. {{storylink|War's End Part One}}

[[File:WarsEndPartFour SixshotVBrawl.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.8|''Maul Brawl: Volume 2'']]
When more warnings about Exarchon came, Megatron agreed to work with the Autobots to defeat the Threefold Spark, sending Sixshot and a team to Exarchon's hideout in the [[Sonic Canyons]]. After his forces shot down some [[Skywarp drone]]s, Sixshot made a dramatic touchdown, finding that the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] had joined with Exarchon before engaging [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] in combat. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} After the [[Companion]]s arrived on the scene and [[Jumpstream]] informed everyone that [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] was inbound, Sixshot pulled his forces back and regrouped outside Exarchon's base. He and [[Pyra Magna]] agreed to work together to combat Exarchon, despite the tensions between Autobots and Decepticons, and began to formulate a plan of attack that took Devastator's presence into account. {{storylink|War's End Part Three}}

[[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], [[Sparkstalker]], and [[Bitstream (G1)|Bitstream]] soon arrived on the scene with a plan to seal Exarchon inside a booby-trapped [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[spark]] cage. The plan was agreed to despite Pyra Magna's objections, and soon the Autobots and Decepticons launched another attack on Exarchon's base. Sixshot took on the Combaticons again and was wounded by [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]], but ultimately Exarchon's spark was trapped inside the Titanspark cage by Mindwipe and Cyclonus. When Sixshot picked the cage up to return it to Iacon, Pyra Magna suddenly destroyed it, unwilling to let Exarchon live or Megatron get his hands on such a dangerous object.

:*''Takara ID number:'' '''D-98'''
:*''Accessories:'' 2 "[[concussion weapon|hypersonic concussion blasters]]"
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Unprecedented in his time, ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Sixshot transforms into six distinct modes: robot, "ramming-tank", "starfighter", "jet-propelled laser pistol", "armored carrier", and "wolf-creature". Each mode features its own dedicated parts, including a springing trigger for his gun mode. Sixshot is a complete [[Brick (term)|brick]], with articulation only in his shoulders… which are hindered by his chest wings, if one wants to display him accurately.

:Evidently not thinking that six was enough, the production staff of ''The Headmasters'' cartoon and comic series created an absurd seventh mode called the "Wingwolf Mode", by fiddling around with the toy, placing it in a mid-transformation form that combines various portions of its different modes in one. There are two "official" configurations for the Wingwolf Mode that can be replicated with the G1 toy: the first is the way the G1 toy is often depicted in in several pieces of Japanese media displaying the seventh mode (which is the configuration displayed in the image to the right); the other is the way it was ''actually'' depicted in ''The Headmasters'' cartoon and comic, which leaves the legs completely straight, rather than bent at the knees. Clearer examples of both of these configurations can be found [https://www.angelfire.com/ny5/reminator2/HTML/g1decept/sixshot.htm here.]

:Highlighting his landmark number of modes, Sixshot's instructions were sealed by a sticker, challenging the owner to figure out all the toy's modes without help. While not too hard with the packaging photos to help, the photos on the back of the box and the instructions themselves (and this wiki, right) actually managed to get the car mode wrong, neglecting to include the additional rotation of the arms necessary to complete it. There is also a pair of extra holes inside Sixshot's legs into which his "hypersonic concussion blasters" can fit. Concept art shows this was the intended location for the weapons in gun mode, but the instructions and stock photos place them on the outside of the legs, in the same position as tank mode, which in turn was how the gun mode appeared in Sixshot's character models for his fictional appearances.

: Sixshot was not released in the UK, although Quickswitch would see a release the following year. Sixshot was also released as part of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' toyline a year after the ''Headmasters'' line, despite not appearing in the series itself. The toy was later [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] in Japan in 2002 without changes, in a reproduction of his original packaging.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make [[Greatshot#Toys|Greatshot]], which was later used as the basis for the non-''Transformers'' series character Shadowmaru (see "[[#Notes|Notes]]"). It also partially inspired the comic-only characters [[Greatsix]] and [[Agonizer]].

:Released in the ''Victory'' portion of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Victory|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' toyline, [[Greatshot#Toys|Greatshot]] is a [[retool]] of Sixshot with several completely new parts, including his shoulders, chestplate, and both his robot and animal-mode heads. Like Sixshot, he has six different modes: a robot, a tank, a spaceship, a gun, an off-road vehicle, and a winged rhinoceros (retooled from Sixshot's wolf mode). Each of these modes has their own functionality, including things like a trigger (that is, a little plastic panel that springs back after you pull on it) for his gun mode. His two guns—retooled to have slightly longer handles than Sixshot's—fit into different holes in every mode.

:As with Sixshot, Greatshot's [[robot mode]] is mostly a [[Brick (term)|brick]], with no real [[articulation]] to speak of. Also like Sixshot, [[fan mode|a fan-made seventh "Wingwolf Mode"-like configuration]] can be achieved with Greatshot, though this hasn't been used in any official capacity.

:Initially promoted—incorrectly, by all appearances—as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues, this edition of Sixshot was eventually released not as part of that line, but as a high-end Asian exclusive first available at the "{{w|Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong}}" convention in July 2012. Coming in grandiose embossed leather "book-box" packaging, this version of the figure comes with all his stickers now pre-applied, with some of those stickers having a darker and shinier lustrous appearance than the original. The toy features a chromed teal chest, metallic red paint on his robot and wolf mode eyes, metallic silver paint on his tank treads, and silver chrome on his weapons as well as on… er… those nipple-things on his chest.
:Early specimens included a [[collector coin]] contained in a card wallet. This wallet featured a silhouetted version of a piece of unlicensed Sixshot art created by fan artist [http://blitz-wing.deviantart.com/art/SixShot-262922241 Blitz-Wing] and used without the artist's permission. Oo-er.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' "Six Shot" is a Leader Class mold, transforming between six different modes: robot, tank, car, jet, beast, and <s>upside-down laser gun</s> submarine. The car mode has seating for two Titan Master figures, though they don't stay in very well. The tank mode has a flip-open cockpit with seating for one.

:In a cute touch, his Titan Master's head mode has a headband with the kanji for "six" (六 ''roku'') on it, as a nod to Six Shot's Japanese ninja personality. In a rather twisted touch, said Titan Master is based on [[Jack (G1)|Jack]] from ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'', who ended up brutally killed thanks to Sixshot!

:Like all ''Titans Return'' Leader Class figures (sans [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blaster]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]]), he does ''not'' need to have his head removed to transform. His wolf mode still needs Revolver removed to fill a gap in the wolf head for aesthetic purposes, but in all the other modes you can just leave Revolver in the helmet with no problem. ''Unlike'' other Leader Class figures in this line, Six Shot does not have an (official) base mode. However, his wings have clips on the edges that allow him to connect to other Leader Class figures' base modes when in certain modes; his instructions suggest the tank mode.

:He is ''very'' similar to his original toy in appearance and transformation. However, due to changes in the way the legs transform, a conversion to "Wingwolf Mode" based on the conversion often depicted in Japanese promotional media is not ''entirely'' possible, as parts can't be tabbed together in this orientation, leaving everything to just loosely sit in place. The figure can, however, get pretty close to ''The Headmasters'' cartoon and comic depictions using the tabs on the legs used for the other modes. The ''Legends'' redeco of this toy listed below, also featured its own unique interpretation of the Wingwolf Mode in the [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 50|pack-in comic]] printed in the [[instructions]], and as this uses that same mold, this can also be replicated with the ''Titans Return'' toy. In an undocumented feature, Six Shot's blasters can be pegged onto his back.

:Many copies of Six Shot have been reported to have ''very'' loose joints. Notably, these include the shoulders, hips and knees, all of which use simple pinned hinge joints or swivels rather than [[ball joint]]s or [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchets]]. In some cases, said loose joints prevent Six Shot from holding any pose beyond a simple "standing in place". His faceplate and fins are completely painted, and can chip due to transformation. Six Shot also features ankle-tilts… though, they only have three detents in the joint, meaning the ankles lock at the standard straight-up-and-down, 45° degrees, and 90° degrees, making them rather useless as they can't be used for posing in any meaningful way.

:Six Shot was redecoed (with a new faceplate) into [[Quickswitch#Titans Return|Quickswitch]], and more extensively remolded into [[Greatshot#Legends|Greatshot]]. The original tooling also serves as the basis for ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Sixshot (SG)|Sixshot]].

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Sixshot is a redeco and retool of the above ''Titans Return'' figure colored to be closer to his appearance in ''The Headmasters'', with changes including a bluer shade of turquoise and white thighs. Instead of Revolver, he comes with a new mold Headmaster designed to look like a tiny Sixshot. This small module transforms into a face based directly on his cartoon appearance, and the helmet has been retooled to match. An added retool is the inclusion of two tiny pegs on his knees located on the outer sides that somewhat allows the knees to lock into place.

:As mentioned above in the ''Titans Return'' listing, the [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 50|pack-in comic]] printed in the instructions also depicts a new variant of the "Wingwolf Mode" that can be replicated with the figure, thanks to [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s artwork being based on the toy itself.

:Unlike most other ''Legends'' figures, Sixshot comes in windowless packaging, with the extra space used to further advertise his six modes.

==Notes==
[[File:BraveShadowmaruKagerouModels.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Go ninjas, go ninjas, go! Shadowmaru is on the left.]]
*Sixshot's appearance in "The Rebirth" is an extreme case of [[To sell toys|marketing influencing the fiction]], as he shows off his [[Six Changer|six modes]] and how cool and badass he is in the space of approximately 30 seconds. He is never seen again, not even in the background, and only had one spoken line. He probably holds the record for briefest presence in the G1 cartoon of any contemporary toy-based character.
*For a while, there was much [[fandom]] speculation that [[Greatshot]] was an upgraded version of Sixshot. The supplemental character [[bio]] included with Greatshot's toy stated that he was a former compatriot of both Sixshot and [[Sixknight]], who in turn were all members of the "[[Six Clan]]" from the hidden regions of the galaxy. Regardless, they both had the [[Michihiro Ikemizu|same actor]], who voiced them both with a stereotypical {{w|samurai}} movie dialect. The belief that the two were the same would eventually [[Canonizing|be made canon]] in [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Greatshot)|Greatshot's ''Legends'' pack-in comic]], where the cartoon version of Greatshot was presented as Sixshot in a new body.
*According to a profile published in ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'', Sixshot owns the [[Matrix of Evil]] in Japanese Generation 1 continuity. What that ''is'' or what it does, we couldn't tell you, as this is the only place it's ever mentioned.
*The Sixshot (or, more accurately, Greatshot) mold was later retooled to make the heroic "Ninja Detective" '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLYgYX7IxLA Shadowmaru]''' (シャドウ丸) for Takara's ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]] Police J-Decker'' toyline. Amusingly, while the other 5 forms are of standard size for the series (assuming 5 meters in robot mode), his size for gun mode [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tRBr-FZZ0k was increased] to the point that, in ''Transformers'' terms, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] could use him for an oversized rifle. Shadowmaru also had a prototype "brother", '''Kagerō''' (カゲロウ), who could only change into three forms. He was not produced as a toy.
*An original Sixshot toy head was used as part of the hand-made prototype of the ''Generation 2''-era [[unproduced G.I. Joe Transformer]].
*Sixshot changes sizes often in IDW's ''Devastation'' mini-series. Sometimes he is shown being the size of a normal Transformer, but other times he is depicted as being about the size of a gestalt.
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' manga, Sixshot is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Soundwave]] helmet as well as some manner of gun accessory and wing-like pieces on his back, but his ''tiiiny'' appearance in the comic makes it difficult to tell what they are.
*The naming similarity between "Sixshot" and "Greatshot" was later paralleled by [[Quickswitch]] with [[Hexadeathimal|Killswitch]].

Like Sixshot, he has six different modes: a robot, a tank, a spaceship, a gun, an off-road vehicle, and a winged rhinoceros (retooled from Sixshot's wolf mode). Each of these modes has their own functionality, including things like a trigger (that is, a little plastic panel that springs back after you pull on it) for his gun mode. His two guns—retooled to have slightly longer handles than Sixshot's—fit into different holes in every mode.

:As with Sixshot, Greatshot's [[robot mode]] is mostly a [[Brick (term)|brick]], with no real [[articulation]] to speak of. Also like Sixshot, [[fan mode|a fan-made seventh "Wingwolf Mode"-like configuration]] can be achieved with Greatshot, though this hasn't been used in any official capacity.

:Though Greatshot's toy bio establishes him as a separate individual, due to the [[retcon]] made in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]], Greatshot's toy can also be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as an upgraded form of Sixshot.

:*''Accessories'': [[Jack (G1)#Toys|Jack]] Headmaster, 2 "Great Laser" blasters

:[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|''Legends'']] Greatshot is an extensive redeco/retool of ''Titans Return'' [[Sixshot (G1)#Titans Return|Six Shot]], with some new parts including the bigger chest wings and the rhino head. While ''Legends'' Sixshot's Headmaster is a new mold decoed like a miniature Sixshot, Greatshot's Headmaster, [[Jack (G1)|Jack]], is a retool of ''Titans Return'' [[Revolver]], albeit in different colors and with a new robot mode backpack for head mode faceplate.

:This figure's packaging and instructions continue to label what is clearly an upside-down laser gun mode as a submarine. Being a retool of ''Titans Return'' Six Shot, Greatshot is very likely to inherit the mold's notoriously loose joints, as they are simple pinned hinge joints or swivels. Unlike with other versions of the mold, the Headmaster ''must'' be removed for transformation, as the horns of the figure's new helmet have to be folded into the space otherwise occupied by the Headmaster, so that it can fit into the figure's chest.

:Greatshot was a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] [[exclusive]]. He was available for pre-order on 11 October at 12:00 am until 2 November at 1 pm, and was shipped on 31 March 2018.

:The original version of this mold was also used to make ''Titans Return'' [[Quickswitch#Generations|Quickswitch]].

[[File:BraveShadowmaruKagerouModels.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|The ninja storm is growing! Shadowmaru is on the left.]]
*For a while, there was much [[fandom]] speculation that Greatshot was an upgraded version of [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. The supplemental character [[bio]] included with Greatshot's toy stated that he was a former compatriot of both Sixshot and [[Sixknight]], who in turn were all members of the "[[Six Clan]]" that "secretly rules over the galaxy". Regardless, they both had the [[Michihiro Ikemizu|same actor]], who voiced them both with a stereotypical {{w|samurai}} movie dialect. The belief that the two were the same would eventually [[Canonizing|be made canon]] in [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Greatshot)|Greatshot's ''Legends'' pack-in comic]], where the cartoon version of Greatshot was presented as Sixshot in a new body.
*The supplementary bio further states that Greatshot frequently carries out secret ninja missions, further tying him in with the "Ninja Staff Officer" Sixshot and the "Ninja Knight" Sixknight.
*The Greatshot mold was later retooled to make the heroic "Ninja Detective" '''Shadowmaru''' (シャドウ丸) for Takara's ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave Police J-Decker]]'' toyline. Amusingly, while the other 5 forms are of standard size for the series (assuming 5 meters in robot mode), his size for gun mode was increased to the point that, in ''Transformers'' terms, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] could use him for an oversized rifle. Shadowmaru also had a prototype "brother", '''Kagerō''' (カゲロウ), who could only change into three forms. The latter was not produced as a toy. [http://2too.blog93.fc2.com/blog-entry-166.html More on Shadowmaru here.]
*In 2015, [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' comic series introduced [[Greatsix]], a Decepticon under the command of the IDW incarnation of Deathsaurus, based on an early design of Greatshot and utilizing Shadowmaru's colors.

Predaking (Prime)

{{faction|decepticon|predaconprime|autobot|rescuebot}} 
{{disambig3|Predaking}}

:''Predaking is the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] leader from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:Beast Hunters Predaking promo.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!]]

'''Predaking''' is a [[Decepticon]]-created beast, created from the [[CNA]] of his [[Predaking (COP)|predecessor]] and brought to life by Shockwave's science. Originally, Megatron had expected this supposedly simple-minded dragon to follow his orders without question, but Predaking has shown that he is far more than meets the optic sensor. Since revealing his possession of a [[robot mode]], Predaking has made it plain that he is as intelligent as any of Megatron's forces, with a sense of warrior's pride and no shortage of ambition. While he has repeatedly professed his loyalty to his lord and master, Megatron has taken note of his ambition to lead a resurrected Predacon race, not to mention his lofty self-imbued title. While the Decepticon ranks have held many an ambitious up-and-comer with an eye for mastery, Predaking may be the first one Megatron has legitimately feared. The last surviving member of his kind may be the most powerful being on planet Earth.

==Fiction==
===''Tales of the Beast Hunters''===
Predaking's presence was so frightening that the [[Autobot]]s began hunting for ways to combat him. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 1}} With the news that a couple of Autobots were heading for a derelict starship in the [[asteroid belt]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and Predaking set out to intercept them. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 2}} They successfully found the derelict and interrupted [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] looting it for gear. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 4}} Though the two villains initially had the upper hand, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] arrived {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 5}} and managed to hold off Predaking long enough for the other two Autobots to escape. As the ship exploded, Predaking saw Megatron plunge through the floor. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 6}} He returned to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' and reported their leader's apparent demise to the other Decepticons, who immediately blamed [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 7}}

Predaking went out hunting for Optimus Prime, and soon found his prey searching for him in the desert. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 17}} Though Predaking was confident he would have an easy victory, Optimus powered up one of the weapons taken from the derelict and warned his opponent that their battle was far from over. Predaking's confidence faded, and he felt fear for the first time in millions of years. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 18}} The battle ended in Predaking's defeat. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 23}}

[[File:TFPMegatron&PredakingSizeComparison.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.67|Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the reality, Oh Predaking, the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities.]]
Having recovered Predacon [[CNA]], Shockwave successfully cloned one of the great beasts, storing it in his lab. He brought the creature online and took it to Earth to hunt Autobots. {{storylink|Scattered}} After Shockwave gave it a whiff of [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]'s energon, it was dispatched and soon found its quarry near an energon mine. Wheeljack and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] fought the creature, first trying to blow it up with a grenade, then luring it into an explosive-laden mine in an attempt to destroy it. The beast emerged triumphant, only for [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] to arrive in [[Iron Will|his ship]] and fire at it. It continued to dog the starship, clinging to the top of it until Magnus managed to knock it off by flying through a canyon. The Predacon returned to [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s citadel, where [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] reflected it was a pity it couldn't tell them why it failed. The Predacon responded by growling, rather quietly and angrily. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}} When [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]] came under attack, the Predacon was unleashed to attack the Autobots. It began chasing Ultra Magnus's ship, but was tricked into flying through a [[GroundBridge]] to the Arctic, where it swiftly froze. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

[[File:ChainOfCommand Magnus forges a head.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|I laid low the warriors of old, and their like is not seen in the world today. Then, I was young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong!]]
Some time later, the temperature in the Arctic rose to a sufficient level to allow the Predacon to free itself. It swiftly tracked down the ''Nemesis'', and Megatron decided to assign it to Starscream while Shockwave continued work on cloning more Predacons. After several hilarious attempts to make the beast compliant, Starscream was ordered to deploy it against the Autobots currently attacking one of the dig sites. The Predacon attacked Ultra Magnus, Bulkhead, and Wheeljack, eventually causing a cave-in after swatting away Wheeljack's grenade. The cave-in unearthed a Predacon optic, the sight of which awakened a vague memory in the beast. It brought the eye to Starscream, then engaged [[Miko Nakadai]], who had acquired the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]]. Overhearing Megatron's demand that the bone fragment be brought to him, the Predacon complied and left the rest to Starscream. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}}

Back at the ''Nemesis'', the Predacon responded to Starscream's continued orders with a swipe of his tail that missed the Decepticon but demolished the ship's communications array. Starscream frantically tried to fix it, eventually attempting to reboot the network by entering an override access code into a computer console. The Predacon watched him and later, when alone, it entered Starscream's access code into the computer and began to call up information on the origins and existence of Predacons. {{storylink|Plus One (Prime)|Plus One}}

[[File:Evolution Predaking Anger.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|His rage passes description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted.]]
During a tour of Shockwave's off-site laboratory, the Predacon revealed his intelligence and ability to [[Transformation|transform]] to his fellow Cybertronians. He offered to lead the Predacons on Megatron's behalf as "Predaking", but Megatron was wary of giving control of an army more powerful than his own to someone else. On Starscream's advice, he arranged for the termination of the clones using the Autobots discovering the lab as a pretense. Predaking fell for the ruse, engaging Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack after they destroyed the clones. He disabled both and destroyed the [[Forge of Solus Prime]], but was stopped from delivering the final blow by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Evolution}}

Predaking continued to believe that once Cybertron was restored, Megatron would resurrect the rest of the Predacon race. As the Decepticons worked to repair the Omega Lock, Predaking was dispatched to Antarctica to battle the Autobots. He battled with Optimus Prime at length, and though he was almost buried under a glacier at one point, he eventually got the better of the Autobot leader and sent Prime crashing into the ground. {{storylink|Minus One}} He was prevented from finishing Optimus off when Megatron instructed him to make sure the target of the Decepticon mission was kept safe, and he had to retrieve Shockwave and a generator from the [[Solaris particle collider]] building. Back on the ''Nemesis'', he found that the Decepticons had captured [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], whom Megatron promised would be his to terminate once the Autobot's usefulness had ended. {{storylink|Persuasion}}

[[File:Synthesis-predakingvsmegatron.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|''I'' am king under the mountain!]]
True to Megatron's word, Predaking was presented with Ratchet as a plaything; however, once the Autobot revealed that Megatron had arranged for the Autobots to find Shockwave's lab, Predaking went on a rampage through the ship. After demolishing every Vehicon in his path, the Predacon attacked Megatron and almost got the better of his former leader. A missile to the back from Starscream rattled him enough that Megatron was able to blast him out of an airlock. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Predaking somehow clung to the hull and went unnoticed by anyone, until the warship returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and restored the planet. Witnessing the world's resurrection, Predaking transformed and flew off. {{storylink|Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock}}

[[File:Predaconsrising-Starscreamupthecreek.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|I think our little game ends here. So tell me, Starscream, how do you choose to die?]]
He found a Predacon burial ground, uncovered by the movement during the planet's rebirth. It was there that the Autobots found him, and attempted to persuade him to help them find two new Predacons they'd encountered. Though Predaking refused as he couldn't forgive them for their role in the destruction of his kind, he went searching himself and soon found evidence that the Autobots had been telling the truth. His signal intended to attract the two Predacons instead brought [[Unicron]], now in possession of Megatron's form, to his position. Unicron attempted to gain Predaking's allegiance, unaware of Predaking's betrayal, but the Predacon instead attacked the chaos bringer. Unicron defeated him, taking the location of the burial ground from his mind, and by the time Predaking returned, he found to his horror that Unicron had desecrated the site. It was there that he encountered two other Predacons, [[Darksteel (Prime)|Darksteel]] and [[Skylynx (Prime)|Skylynx]]. Though these two Predacons were not willing to obey, Predaking quickly asserted his dominance over the two. After a suggestion from Shockwave, Predaking led them in an attempt to assist the Autobots in fighting Unicron's horde of Terrorcon Predacons. Although Predaking, Skylynx, and Darksteel were pulled into the Well, they were successful in slowing the horde down long enough for Optimus Prime to defeat Unicron, causing the Terrorcons to disintegrate. The trio later tracked down Starscream, intending to exact some revenge. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

===Full of Fire!===
Predaking was unleashed with five other Predacons on the Autobots, who proved more formidable after having built themselves new weapons. Predaking's fire was stopped short by Optimus Prime's [[Firebreath Cyclocannons|Dragon Cannons]], and the other Predacons had a similar lack of fortune, so they withdrew back to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Full of Fire!}}

[[File:Construct-Bots short Predaking.jpg|thumb|200px|Think furnace, with wings. Flash of light, searing pain, and then poof! You're nothing but a pile of ash.]]
Predaking came upon [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] playing cards within the Decepticons' volcano base. For his own amusement, he breathed fire on the gang, sending them scrambling in all directions. He continued to peer through the volcano's crater as the Decepticons attempted to upgrade themselves with some new parts, only for the Autobots to sabotage the process. He chuckled merrily at the Decepticons' misfortune. {{storylink|Intro!}}

Predaking harassed Starscream once again when he found him preening in front of a full-length mirror. He swooped down, breaking Starscream's mirror to bits and scattering the Decepticon's pieces about, before continuing on his way. {{Storylink|Take Flight!}}

===IDW ''Robots in Disguise'' comic===
At some point Predaking traveled to Earth, bringing Starscream's severed arm with him. Optimus Prime and [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] found him hanging out in a cave in the [[Sierra Vistas]] and after a brief fight, the Predacon fled, leaving Starscream's arm behind. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
When Predaking, Skylynx, and Darksteel confronted Starscream in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], the treacherous Decepticon fled into the depths of the fortress. Darksteel and Skylynx pursued, but were destroyed by an armed security system that Starscream accidentally tripped.

When Starscream boasted of his victory to Bumblebee, he spoke as if all the Predacons had been exterminated, but Predaking was conspicuously ''not'' seen during these events, and what became of him was not explicitly stated. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}}

*'''Predaking''' (Voyager Class, 2013)
**''Series/Number'': '''2 / 002'''
**''Accessories:'' Two Hydrafire Blasters, two missiles, sword/tail

:Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class toys, this Predaking transforms into a ''three-headed'' dragon, and comes with a tail that detaches to become a sword that can be (loosely) held by his hands. His extra dragon heads/"[[Hydrafire Blaster]]s" are spring-loaded missile launchers that are geared to straighten their necks and launch their missiles when the levers behind them are pulled. This configuration for his beast mode, coupled with his colors do a lot to make him resemble ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]]. They can also combine into a larger weapon, with their gears being connected so that they move and fire in unison. The heads/blasters mount via [[5 mm post|5mm post]] onto his back and forearms. He does fairly well regarding [[scale]] with the Cyberverse versions of the rest of the cast in [[beast mode]], and his size in [[robot mode]] compared to them suggests what his true size in the cartoon would be if he didn't suffer from mass-displacement.

:[[Cybertronix]] symbols are detailed into various parts of his body, including the Hydrafire Blaster heads and robot mode legs. Soft plastic is used on various parts of Predaking, including his beast mode head and feet/hands. Due to the soft plastic, [[quality control]] is a bit random; some batches of figures may have deformations in-package, or may have difficulty gripping the sword since the slot is only on one half of the hand.

:While he is usually shown with his wings spread in robot mode, something not shown, even in his instructions, is that his wings can be folded down against themselves to resemble their appearance in the show.

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts several deco differences from the final product, such as black-painted wing membranes and yellow missiles. His [[instructions]] include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 6|sixth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series. Predaking was slightly redecoed into [[Dragotron#Voyager|Dragotron]].

**''Accessories:'' Two launchers, two missiles, tail/Infernum Blade

: Beast Fire Predaking is the largest representation of Predaking and features a 21-inch wingspan, although the wings easily detach from their bases [[for safety reasons]], and to allow easier access to the battery compartment on his back. He comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers, and his tail detaches to become the [[Infernum Blade]], all of which can peg onto his hands, wrists, and wings via 5mm post.

:[[File:BHtoy-PredakingUltimatePackaging.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.6|Packaging variants rising.]]
:He also has light-up features in his dragon head, as well as his robot head and torso. The dragon head is lit by pulling on a lever on his neck, swinging the head down and opening his mouth in the process. The robot head and torso are lit by pressing the translucent-yellow button on his right shoulder. Batteries are not included.

:His rear legs are mis-transformed in package, not having been angled and tabbed into his thighs. His packaging stock photography depicts his sword with orange paint details that were replaced with silver in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 18|eighteenth chapter]] of the ''Tales of the Beast Hunters'' series.

:While the toy is classified as an Ultimate Class figure, It is ''dwarfed'' by the Ultimate Class ''Beast Hunters'' Optimus Prime figure; Optimus is nigh Supreme sized whereas Predaking is roughly the size of a ''Prime'' Weaponizer and the like. Clearly the designers chose wingspan over mass.

:In international markets, such as Canada, Singapore, the Philippines, Europe and Australia, Beast Fire Predaking was released as part of the first wave of mainline ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Ultimate Class toys. In the United States, he was [[Rebranding|rebranded]] and repackaged in the Target-exclusive "Predacons Rising" subline, with new instructions lacking the ''Tales'' chapter.

:A minor redeco of ''Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class Predaking that adds black paint operations to the dragon wings, has the robot head and primary dragon head, as well as the soft parts on the secondary dragon heads/missile launchers, cast in gray instead of black plastic, and omits most silver paint operations on them, changes the paint operation on the tip of the sword/tail from gold to orange, and reverses the silver and gray plastic colors for the hard plastic parts on the secondary dragon heads/missile launchers and the missiles. Even weirder, this Predaking is tampographed with the [[:File:Predacon Prime PrototypeInsignia.png|"prototype" Predacon]] [[insignia]] instead of the single release's regular one.

:This version was only available in a two-pack with an ever-so-slightly less redecoed Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Predaking|Optimus Prime]], which has thus far only been released at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in Portugal, the United Kingdom and Germany. In Germany, it was explicitly advertised as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. This box was available at regular retail in Brazil.

*'''Predaking''' (Voyager Class, 2014)
**''Series/Number'': '''3 / 002'''
**''Accessories:'' Blaster, missile, tail/Infernum Sword

:Part of the first wave of ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 Voyager Class toys, Predaking is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' Commander Class toy, though with the [[articulation]] and sculpted details based on his larger toys, and the replacement of his ball joints with more robust [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s. As a result, his complexity is lower than in his previous Voyager Class toys, but he ends up being much, ''much'' more massive, even giving Ultimate Beast Fire Predaking a run for his money! In terms of deco, he is made primarily of smokey-black translucent plastic, with fiery orange paint applications. Unfortunately, the transparent plastic used is prone to stress marks.

:For accessories, the tail detaches to become a ''huge'' Infernum Sword, and he also comes with a [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] blaster with a pressure-fired missile. All of his accessories peg via 5mm post into his hands, and the blaster can also store on a peg-hole located on the sword's "spine". The missile uses the same mold as the one included with the ''Cyberverse'' version.

**'''11 OF 30'''
: Part of the store exclusive ''Predacons Rising'' [[subline imprint]], ''[[Construct-Bots]]'' Predaking was sold at the price-point of a triple-changer.

:His tremendous wings, while being pretty awesome looking, are very restricted in their movement and make Predaking extremely back heavy. He uses primarily unique parts save for his torso and feet which are from [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Starscream]], his forearm armor from [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Megatron]] and his blasters from [[Blitzwing (G1)#Construct-Bots|Blitzwing]].

**''Set number'': '''A7319'''
**''Pieces'': '''43'''
**''Accessories'': Rack, bladed staff, pistol, 2 claws, spare hand

: Part of the second wave of Custom [[Kreon]]s, ''[[Kre-O]]'' Predaking comes with a buildable rack to store his customizable parts. His torso, arms, waist, and legs have a metal-flake sheen. His "normal" helmet and wings are chromed, plus he comes with an extra transparent torso and helmet, as well as a pair of large Kreon-compatible beast-legs (originally from the ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'' Gorn). He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), a buildable bladed staff, a small pistol, and a pair of twin-claws.

:Though widely solicited, this wave of Custom Kreons ultimately never saw release outside of the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online store and Chinese-market distribution circles.

:''[[Transformers: Dinobot Adventures|Dinobot Adventures]]'' Predaking is a redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Rescue Bots]]'' Rescan Series [[Heatwave (RB)#RescanDragon|Heatwave the Fire-Bot]] dragon-mode figure and features a single-step autotransformation from two-headed dragon to robot mode.

:Although no mention is made of Predaking's faction in the packaging, the toy retains its Rescue Bots-style Autobot insignia left over from Heatwave. Whether it was an intentional decision to keep it or if they just didn't want to retool the mold to remove it is unclear.

:Predaking is only available in a 3-pack alongside [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Dinobot Adventures|Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (FOC)#DinoSquad3pack|Dinobot Snarl]].
{{--}}

==Notes==
*According to former Hasbro creative manager [[Rik Alvarez]], Predaking's early inability to transform in the ''Prime'' cartoon was a result of the showrunners initially not having the money to finish his other models, as the relatively last-minute decision to include him in the show threw off their budget.<ref>Toy Hype USA Interview with Alvarez https://youtu.be/wtNaT7h6Fh4?t=1895</ref>
*Predaking seems to employ [[size changing|mass displacement]]. It's been shown multiple times that his [[beast mode]]'s big enough to toss around Cybertronians like chew-toys, while his [[robot mode]] stands only head and shoulders over Megatron. This is likely so he can have scenes in robot mode while inside the ''Nemesis''.

:''Terragator is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Terragator-bw-packageart.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|All tremble before the Ass Cannon!]]
'''Terragator''' is a stinking Predacon. As in, he smells offensive. Where [[Blot (G1)|some 'bots]] just have some sort of problem, or [[Landfill (G1)|a bad job]], Terragator loves nothing more than being in the filth all the time. And if he can't wade through a sewer or a swamp, he'll just find a good pile of something unmentionable and have a nice roll around in it. On the plus side, his disgusting habits mean he blends in well in the swampy environment that both aspects of his [[beast mode]] call home. Unsuspecting Maximals never smell him coming until it's too late.

In battle, this [[Fuzor]] wields a diamond-hard shield that also does double-duty as a shell in beast mode. Given his unpleasant habits, anyone would be forgiven for thinking his blaster, which stores away in the rear end of his alternate mode, might extrude something ghastly. Mercifully, it just shoots concentrated heat-rays, which cook their targets from the inside out.

However, Terragator's love of filth can backfire. His systems aren't really meant to deal with whatever he's so fond of stepping in, and without care they can mess up his circuits something bad.

[[Magmatron]] came to prehistoric [[Earth]] to create an army from the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s abandoned [[protoform]]s. Terragator was presumably among the protoforms that were successfully turned into Predacons. Magmatron ordered his forces to seek out the Maximal spy [[Razorbeast]] and his small group. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}} Within a few days, the Predacons had located the Maximal base and engaged. During that battle, Terragator got stomped by [[Polar Claw]]. The Maximals won, and the surviving Predacons were driven into the wilderness. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}

Terragator later participated in a last ditch attempt to attack the Maximal base. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}} He got tail-whipped at least twice by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], so when the [[Pack]] arrived to back the Maximals up, he switched targets and tried to ride [[Mach Kick]] instead. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}} Then [[Lio Convoy]] stomped on him. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}}

When the [[Blentron|Blendtron]]s, the dread heralds of [[Shokaract]] turned up, Terragator was among the Predacons left behind to fight them. He was against joining the battle against them, pointing out to [[Optimus Minor]] that none of them were in any shape to fight. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

Terragator was on the Predacon team in the fateful final match of the [[Games]], during which he started off close to Maximal combatant [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]] and fired on her with his shoulder-mounted missile launcher. They were paralyzed mid-combat by [[Lio Convoy]] who, having assassinated game overseer [[Supersonic]], used their battle as an example of how the potential of Maximals and Predacons was wasted on the Games. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}

:''Autoroopers are [[Earth Defense Command]]-aligned robots from the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (franchise)|Kiss Players]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:AutrooperAtari.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|This is everything that's wrong with the world.]]

'''Autoroopers''' (オートルーパー ''Ōtorūpā'') are a group of [[human]]-created artificial [[Transformer]]s that serve the [[Earth Defense Command]]. 48 Autoroopers are known to exist in the [[Tokyo]] Autorooper Team, divided into 12 squads, each named after one of the signs of the {{w|Chinese zodiac}}.

Autoroopers are physically identical to one another apart from their squad markings. They are armed with rifles that fire [[Kremzeek (G1)|Kremzeek]] bullets and can convert into the [[alternate mode]] of a police-style Mazda RX-8.

Each Autorooper is assigned a [[Kiss Player]] partner by the EDC. These young women serve a very important purpose. In times of crisis, a Kiss Player will [[kiss]] her Autorooper, activating a power that lets her merge with the much larger robot, bestowing upon it enhanced combat and regenerative abilities. If the merge's time limit expires, the Kiss Player is disgorged from her partner unconscious, naked and covered in viscous fluid. It is so far unknown what a voluntary separation entails.

Autoroopers are often dispatched to the scene of Transformers-related incidents. This usually brings them into conflict with [[Legion]] attackers, but they also sometimes find themselves battling or pursuing anti-EDC resistance fighters such as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rodimus]], and their human partners.

Autoroopers have an as-yet undisclosed connection to the same [[ParasiTech]] fusion process that Legion units use. One Autorooper partially fused with the corpse of Optimus Prime before [[Marissa Faireborn]] interceded. This fusion caused the resurrected Prime to suffer nightmares of his old enemy [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], suggesting a link between the Autoroopers and the [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]-derived Legion army. This link would eventually bear fruit as the Autoroopers went rogue and merged to reconstitute Galvatron's body.

===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Kiss Players''====
{{voiceactor|[[Keiji Hirai]] (Ne-04, Japanese)}}
[[File:Kissplay1 atari fuses.jpg|left|thumb|Apparently this is a good thing! Yay!]]
One particular Autorooper is designated "Ne-04", the 4th Autorooper of [[Ne Squad]]. Ne-04 is initially partnered with [[Shaoshao Li]], acclaimed as the most powerful Kiss Player in the EDC. Shao is said to be able to enhance her Autorooper to levels far beyond those of her fellow squad members.

During an encounter with a hostile Legion, the Ne-04 Autorooper was badly damaged. With Shao unconscious and unable to re-merge, the Autorooper turned to the nearby [[Atari Hitotonari]] and demanded that she kiss him. The frightened girl complied and the two together were able to defeat their opponent. During the battle, the merged Atari took on a more violent and bloodthirsty personality.

When it was discovered that Atari was an even more powerful Kiss Player than Shao, Ne-04 was reassigned to her, and Shao left the EDC to pursue resistance activities with her new partner, Hot Rod. Atari has noted that while the giant robot initially behaved in an intimidating manner toward her, she has since found it to have a warmer personality. The Ne-04 Autorooper's compassion for Atari extends to giving her backrubs when she becomes carsick riding in it, a frequent occurrence.

Atari's Autorooper appears to have a slightly mischievous personality, as when it was inexplicably shrunken to palm size following a kiss, it sneaked inside Atari's shirt while she was distracted thinking about desserts. Extremely passive on her best days, Atari exhaustedly capitulated to the tiny robot's advances.

[[File:AutrooperAtari2.jpg|thumb|"Are you sure you're really a doctor?"]]
But this would not be the Ne-04 Autorooper's only experience with shrinking...for soon, Atari would discover that she had a Legion inside her stomach! Instructing Atari to kiss it, the Autorooper shrunk to a diminutive size, promptly forcing itself into Atari's mouth and making her swallow. As it plunged into her wet passage, it noted how warm it was inside her, while Atari pleaded for it not to move around inside her too roughly.

Yeeeeah.

The Autorooper engaged, defeated and destroyed the Legion, but lacked the power to climb back out. Unfortunately, when it ran out of power entirely, it would return to normal size inside the panicked Atari. Claiming that it would escape via [[Transwarp]], the Autorooper instead talked Atari into sticking her finger down her throat and vomiting it up. She proceeded to berate the robot for its trickery.{{storylink|Transformers: Kiss_Players (radio_drama)#CD collections and special episodes|Atari's Close Call?!}}

{{disambig2|the cancelled toyline|the titular... technology? process?|Bravemaster}}

[[Image:Hayato_Bravemasters_concept_1.jpg|right|200px|thumb]]
'''''New Transformers: Bravemasters''''' (新トランスプフォーマーブレイブマスターズ) was an unrealised proposal for an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive toyline. Revealed by [[Hayato Sakamoto]] at [[BotCon 2015]] (alongside ''[[Transformers Prime: Shattered Glass|Prime: Shattered Glass]]'' and ''[[Transformers Part One|Part One]]''), the line was cancelled during the concept phase and replaced by ''[[Transformers Cloud]]''.

''Bravemasters'' was intended to have a broad appeal: its simple story was to be ideal for ''Transformers'' newcomers, its previously-unexplored time period in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Japanese Generation 1 continuity]] would be for the veterans, and its aesthetic would appeal to fans of the 1990s ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]]'' franchise.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/2015/06/best-of-botcon-the-japanese-perspective/ Best Of Botcon: The Japanese Perspective @ The Allspark]</ref>

==Fiction==
[[Image:Hayato_Bravemasters_concept_main_character.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
''Bravemasters''<nowiki>'</nowiki> accompanying fiction would have been set in [[2014]], after the Transformers left Earth at the conclusion of ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'', but before the events of ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]''. A new Decepticon army, led by Master Hell (a tentative name), attacks the planet. A lone Autobot named Brave, left behind as a carnival automaton in [[Japan]], joins forces with a sick human boy, and together they become the first line of defence for his new home.

"[[Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime]]" would later name-check the concept of a [[Bravemaster]] — whatever that is.

==Toys==
Extrapolating from concept artwork, the ''Bravemasters'' toyline may have included the following:
{| style="margin-left:1em;" width="100%"
|width="20%" valign="top"|'''Autobots'''
<ul class="iconlist">
{{Bp-a1|Brave, a red and blue redeco of [[Breacher (TF 2010)#Transformers (2010)|''Transformers: Hunt for the Decepticons'' Scout Breacher]]}}

|
|width="20%" valign="top"|[[File:Bravemasters concept illustration.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Earlier concept art for ''Bravemasters'' had the Swindle and Sea Spray redecoes in blue and maroon respectively.]]
|}

Given that the other two conceptual lines, along with the eventual ''Transformers Cloud'', each featured a lineup of eight characters, it is entirely possible that the latter three Decepticons were merely [[Repurposing|repurposed]] from their retail toys, and were not due for release in ''Bravemasters''.

'''''Transformers Part One''''' (トランスフォーマーパートワン) was an unrealised proposal for an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive toyline. Revealed by [[Hayato Sakamoto]] at [[BotCon 2015]] (alongside ''[[Transformers: Bravemasters|Bravemasters]]'' and ''[[Transformers Prime: Shattered Glass|Prime: Shattered Glass]]''), the line was cancelled during the concept phase and replaced by ''[[Transformers Cloud]]''.

''Part One'' was intended to showcase molds that members of the [[TakaraTomy]] team considered underused by reimagining them as flagship [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] characters.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/2015/06/best-of-botcon-the-japanese-perspective/ Best Of Botcon: The Japanese Perspective @ The Allspark]</ref>

'''''Transformers Prime: Shattered Glass''''' (トランスフォーマープライムシャッタードグラス) was an unrealised proposal for an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive toyline. Revealed by [[Hayato Sakamoto]] at [[BotCon 2015]] (alongside ''[[Transformers: Bravemasters|Bravemasters]]'' and ''[[Transformers Part One|Part One]]''), the line was cancelled during the concept phase and replaced by ''[[Transformers Cloud]]''.

Exactly what it says on the tin, ''Prime: Shattered Glass'' would see a merging of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' concepts, and would follow a conflict between the heroic Decepticons and evil Autobots on [[Earth]].<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/2015/06/best-of-botcon-the-japanese-perspective/ Best Of Botcon: The Japanese Perspective @ The Allspark]</ref>

Buffalo Dump

{{faction|decepticon}}
:''Buffalo Dump is a hideous experiment from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Minotorons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|You can't rollerskate in a Buffalo Dump.]]

"A creature of instinct" describes '''Buffalo Dump'''. Part Cybertronian, part mechanimal, he and the [[Minotoron]]s he leads are creations of the [[Decepticon]] [[Rage (G1)|Rage]]. Buffalo Dump cannot be reasoned with, and any firepower you hit him with will just make him angrier—the one way to control him is via high-frequency sound. Rage keeps him and his fellows in a specially-constructed area of the [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]], with computer banks devoted to taking care of their feeding, exercise and waste processes.

==Fiction==
===''Wings Universe''===
Rage was being pursued by an [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] team after stealing the [[Heart of the Dragon]], so once he reached the Metrotitan, he unleashed Buffalo Dump and the three Minotorons. The four creatures stamped down Metrotitan's entrance ramp and Rage used a speaker attached to Buffalo Dump to introduce his creations to the confused [[Autobot]]s. The [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s opened fire, but quickly discovered that that Minotorons' hides were thick enough to simply deflect the lasers. After dodging the creatures, [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] remembered a doohicky that [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] happened to have that might help. Said device's sonic emissions repelled the Minotorons, which headed back towards the Metrotitan. Dion, [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] and Swindle hid in the creatures' truck beds, allowing them to sneak into the Decepticon fortress and open the doors for their fellows outside. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

The world's unshaven need live in fear no more - for their saviour, '''Hydrobot''', has arrived! Inadvertently created by Doctor [[Hiroshi Benson]] when an advanced prototype Schick Hydro razor was infused with the mysterious substance known as [[H-Boostium]], Hydrobot became an extremely tiny crusader for justice throughout whatever city it is that he lives in, and will surely prove to be an invaluable ally in the battle against the Decepticons!

Bogu

2017-04-20T18:01:45Z

Datadoggieein:

{{faction|unicron|minicon|decepticon}}
:''Bogu is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:Prime-toy Bogu.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2]]

'''Bogu''' (ボグ) is the [[Arms Micron]] partner of [[Unicron|Gaia Unicron]].

==Toys==
===Prime===
*'''Gaia Unicron''' (Voyager, [[2012]]-[[September 29|09-29]])
**''Set ID number:'' '''AM-19'''
**''Micron ID number:'' '''M-26'''
**''Energon Crystal:'' '''SP Ice'''

: Available only with his larger partner [[Unicron/toys#Prime|Gaia Unicron]] in Japan, Bogu comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a rocky-looking robotic mole into a weapon resembling one of Unicron's spikes; in fact, he is designed to replace Unicron's left forearm, which then combines with his right forearm to give Unicron a much more show-accurate look. Bogu is covered in [[5mm post]]s and holes as part of the [[Arms Micron]] gimmick, allowing him to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".

{{-}}{{anchor|PrimeUnicronPack}}
*'''Optimus Prime + Gaia Unicron''' (2013)
**''Energon Crystal:'' '''SP Ice'''

:This Asian-exclusive redeco of Bogu comes pre-assembled and lacks stickers. He and [[Unicron/toys#PrimeUnicronPack|Gaia Unicron]] come in a multi-pack with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#PrimeUnicronPack|Optimus Prime]] (with [[O.P.#PrimeUnicronPack|O.P]]).

{{-}}{{anchor|Nightmare}}
*'''Nightmare Unicron''' (2013)
: A redeco of Bogu as Bogu M is included when Gaia Unicron was repainted into Nightmare Unicron.
{{charstubtoys}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
* Bogu's name has a rather interesting background. It's probably based on the Japanese name for a mole, モグラ (''mogura''), but it also harkens back to Unicron's Mini-Con in ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', [[Dead End (Armada)|Dead End]], whose Japanese name was "Bug" (バグ ''Bagu'').
* Bogu's name was first erroneously applied to [[Baru]]. Given the rather funny way Japanese is treated, it could have worked either way.
* The Energon Crystal type is not listed on his larger partner's box-back, unlike pretty much every other pack-in Micron ever. The Crystal type instead comes from the online "[[Arms Up Missions]]" game.
