'''Zigzag''' is a Nebulan hovercraft mechanic whose incompetence left vehicles in worse shape than when he started on them, making him the object of derision among his co-workers. He joined the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] in order to get revenge on his tormentors. Now partnered with [[Sunbeam]] and the [[Decepticon]] [[Needlenose]], he's still the object of ridicule, but at least now he has something more convincing as a retort than just profanity.

* '''Needlenose w/ Zigzag and Sunbeam''' (Targetmaster, 1988)

: Zigzag transforms into a gun that be wielded by Needlenose in robot mode or attached under one of his wings in jet mode. Like all "double" Targetmaster Nebulan, he has a very simple transformation, and can combine with Sunbeam to form a larger weapon.

: No version of this character or mold was released in Japan.

==Notes==
* According to [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Needenose's ''Universe'' profile]], "Zigzag" is a code name he chose for himself.
* Zigzag and [[Singe]]'s handles end up between their feet, rather than mounted on their chests like the other Double Targetmaster weapons.

Rock Lord

Layraknight: Picture of tf toy

:''The Rock Lords are are an alien species from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''
[[image:Gold nugget.jpg]]

In uncharted regions of the universe, creatures from [[Quartex (region)|Quartex]] sleep undisturbed by light or civilization. Though their dormant state may resemble common asteroids, this camouflage conceals their true ferocity. Feared by robots, their appetite for metal is matched only by their ferocious strength in battle. They are legend. They are... the '''Rock Lords'''!

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
After untold aeons of peaceful slumber, a cluster of Rock Lords was abruptly awakened by [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|an unexpected, light-emitting intruder in their midst]]. No sooner did they swarm over the massive alien than it vanished. Still, the disturbance was not a complete disappointment: a moment later, a [[Bumblebee (Animated)|small but tasty-looking... ''thing'']] appeared in the intruder's place, and was quickly devoured by the nearest Rock Lord.

Sated, the devourer prepared to return to sleep, but was disturbed to find itself suddenly alone [[Earth|in an alien, gravity-bound environment]]. Even worse, light now constantly poured down on it from [[Sun|some new, horrible menace]]. Destroying everything in its path, it might have found an escape from this terrible place if it weren't for [[Sari Sumdac|a tiny, irritatingly quick assailant]] that shattered the Rock Lord into hundreds of pieces. The three smaller Rock Lords that regenerated from its shattered body hardly stood a chance. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

==Notes==
* The Rock Lords are an homage to the [[Tonka GoBots]]' spinoff toyline the [[wikipedia:Rock Lords|Rock Lords]] (tagline: ''Powerful Living Rocks!''), which appeared in ''[[wikipedia:GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords|GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords]]'' and came from the planet Quartex.

* The [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|''AllSpark Almanac II'']] [[retcon|retconned]] in that the GoBots ''were'' their universe's Transformers, with [[Gobotron]] as a form of [[Primus]]. This would presumably make ''these'' Rock Lords ''those'' Rock Lords as well! Hasbro franchise [[Robotix]] (also retconned into being versions of Transformers) also had transforming rock creatures, but it's not yet been said if they are also Rock Lords. (I bet they are!)
