'''Fearswoop''' is really, really, super-evil and mean and nasty. He has advanced stealth capabilities that let him swoop down on unsuspecting targets fast, riddling them with machinegun fire before they even know what hit them. How advanced is his stealth ability? He's [[neon]] yellow and ''still'' can't be seen.

:''Alternate European-market name:'' '''Black Omen'''

[[Image:G1 Fearswoop toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Fear the limon!]]
*'''Fearswoop''' (Trakkon, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, 2 x missiles

: Available only in European markets, Fearswoop transforms into a bright yellow Lockheed-Martin YF-22 fighter jet. In this mode, his large and very un-aerodynamic weapon stand can be mounted on his back end. This weapon uses a combination of the light-piping and gear-wheel gimmicks so that when you look through the "viewscope" and turn the wheel beneath, as the twin gun barrels pom-pom back-and-forth, the view from the scope makes it look like twin beams of laser-fire are striking your selected target.

: This version of the toy was boxed, and made available during the "transitional" phase where the toys gained the new-design faction sigils but the packaging lacked the ''Generation 2'' name.

Blowpipe (G1)

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''Blowpipe is a [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] [[Targetmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:BlowpipeRebirth.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Look, whatever you do, just don't say anything about his hat. Or his name.]]
The conniving brother-in-law of [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Lord Zarak]], '''Blowpipe''' managed the political campaign that brought him and kept him in power. While a smooth political operator with endless connections, Blowpipe lacks the physical presence and style of a leader, causing him to resent his brother-in-law for taking all the glory when ''he'' did all the "real" work.

Treating combat like he would a political campaign, Blowpipe plots and plans things in advance, leaving nothing to chance, which puts him at odds with his [[Binary bond|binary bonded]] partner [[Triggerhappy]], whose idea of combat tactics is to wave his gun around randomly as fast as he can and shoot really, really fast.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
Blowpipe was brother-in-law to [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Lord Zarak]], presumably [[Llyra]]'s maternal uncle. Always cast in Zarak's shadow, he spent his career as a political manager for Zarak. Although Blowpipe's machinations won Zarak the prominance he coveted in the [[Council of Peers]], it was ultimately Zarak's own charisma which was given credit for his rise to fame, leaving Blowpipe envious and unheralded. He remained a part of Zarak's political machine and, when Zarak joined forces with [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the Decepticons, Blowpipe underwent the Targetmaster process and binary bonded to Triggerhappy. This did little to raise his personal profile on [[Nebulos]], however, as Zarak ordered the Decepticons to abandon Nebulos mere hours later. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

Blowpipe remained at Triggerhappy's side throughout the Decepticons' stay on Earth. He was remarkably silent when Triggerhappy and [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] decided to desert Zarak and the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}

===Cartoon continuity===
One of the Nebulan [[Hive (G1)|Hive]], Blowpipe was bio-engineered into a weapon by the Targetmaster process. When he transformed and jumped into Triggerhappy's hand, he punned on his name by stating he wanted to BLOW the rebels away. Triggerhappy responded by cackling that the Autobots were as good as melted slag. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Blowpipe jumped from brother-in-law to half-brother who organized Zarak's illegitimate election.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Triggerhappy with Blowpipe''' (Targetmaster, 1987)
*''Accessories'': Cannon-pack
: Blowpipe transforms into a [[compression cannon]] with single large and smaller secondary barrel. Blowpipe's transformation, like [[Caliburst]]'s, is slightly more involved than many Targetmasters weapons; his gun barrel is a separate piece that plugs into his back, and once his legs are folded up the barrel has to be snapped into place where the legs were, the resulting weapon longer than many of the other first year Targetmasters. Blowpipe could be placed in either Triggerhappy's hands or on top of his vehicle mode.
