*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Legends Class, [[2007]])
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Ratchet'''
:An inexpensive, small-scale version of ''Transformers'' "Autobot Ratchet," he remains relatively faithful to his vehicle mode (though highly simplified), but transforms very differently due to his simplicity. In robot mode he has a faux truck-front chest that's more faithful to the CGI design than the Voyager toy's chest, but the rest of his robot mode is (understandably) inaccurate and limited in articulation.

:His spare tire, mounted on the rear end of his roof in vehicle mode, is actually a free-spinning wheel just like the normal four (albeit with a somewhat stiffer joint), and the same size as the front wheels... meaning that, in theory, it could be used as an ''actual'' spare tire.

[[File:Movie legends ratchet colorvariants.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|He's feeling a little green around the manifolds.]]
:The original production run of the toy sported a significantly wrong shade of green. A running change variant that quickly replaced the original version corrected the error, now sporting the same shade of green as the Voyager Class toy.<ref>[http://archive.thetf.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=10086 Comparison images of both color variants of Legends Ratchet]</ref> Still, the color variant was not limited to the US market, as both versions also popped up in Europe. The re-released toy for the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, however, got stuck with the original, off-color version.

*'''Rescue Ratchet vs. Decepticon Brawl''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2007)
:Released as part of the ''[[AllSpark Power|AllSpark Battles]]'' [[subline imprint|refresh]] of the Movie toyline, Legends class Rescue Ratchet is, naturally, a redeco of the previously-released Legends class Ratchet in his white ''Generation 1''-inspired colors. He comes packed with an all-new sculpt Legends class Brawl.

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Roof rack/claw
:''Transformers'' Voyager Class Ratchet transforms into a AM General {{w|Hummer H2}}, customised as a fire search and rescue vehicle. Ratchet is also missing significant amounts of paint applications, with unpainted wheels, emergency tools, and light details, as well as an underpainted face, resulting in a rather monochromatic toy.

:During transformation, unfolding his legs will activate his [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature, which folds out his kneepads and feet, and 'bulges' out two small panels along his inner calves. The only Autobot toy to not feature a ranged weapon, Ratchet's right forearm unfolds into an axe (based upon a weapon concept study), and the removable rollbar/roof rack can either be mounted on his left arm as a shield/claw, or stored on his back. Flipping out the axe without unfolding the blade, however, does make the weapon ''vaguely'' resemble a green version of the [[machine gun]] he uses in the movie.

:Oddly, although Ratchet's thumbs are articulated, space is so restricted that they are all but useless. His left thumb can only move a millimeter due to his wrist armour getting in the way. His right thumb does have more space to move, but pushing it will invariably disengage the fold-out axe from his forearm.

:Ratchet can (loosely) attach a [[Mini-Con]] on the rollbar/roof rack, and can hold a standard weapon via the shield/claw mount.

*'''Rescue Ratchet''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Roof rack/claw
:''Transformers'' "Rescue Ratchet," is an extensive [[redeco]] based in part upon ''Generation 1'' [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet's]] [[Marvel Comics]] appearance. Aside from the deco and name change, the toy is otherwise the same in functionality to the previous Voyager class release.

:Oddly for a deco described as being ''more'' likely for the type of vehicle, Rescue Ratchet's vehicle mode—a fire search and rescue vehicle—is prominently labeled "AMBULANCE" on the doors and the hood.

:This same deco was adapted and used as an alternate for Ratchet in the multiplayer mode for the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' game.

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Best Buy exclusive "Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Roof rack/claw
:''Transformers'' Ratchet was one of the first figures in the ''[[Premium Series]]'', released on October 16th, 2007 exclusively at Best Buy for the launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Ratchet's main plastic has been changed to a metallic yellow, with an additional coat of metallic yellow paint over the top of those parts (and others), resulting in a much more accurate colour scheme in relation to the actual ''Movie'' character and prop vehicle.

:Ratchet was presented in robot mode, within a special display package similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Even though Hasbro officially considers him as part of the Premium Series, this is not indicated anywhere on the packaging, as the Premium Series wasn't officially announced until ''after'' Ratchet and [[Megatron (Movie)/toys|Megatron]] had already been released to stores.

*'''Axe Attack Autobot Ratchet''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''QC-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile
:''Transformers'' [[Fast Action Battlers]] "Axe Attack Autobot Ratchet," is a small, deluxe-sized figure with limited articulation and a simple transformation. He features a spring-loaded missile-firing axe, a "robot punch" [[gimmick]], and [[Automorph Technology|automorphing]]. To activate the "robot punch", one must twist and release Ratchet's torso. An inner spring will cause it to snap back to (more or less) anatomical position. His front grille can be rotated 180 degrees, which powers the automorphing feature, and causes Ratchet's front fenders, doors, and roof to separate during transformation from vehicle to robot and form his shoulders and arms (and vice versa). Unfortunately, this sacrifices [[Show-accuracy|show accuracy]], as the grille ends up ''right-side up'', while the rest of his [[Alternate mode|alt mode]] cab remains upside-down.

:In vehicle mode, the missile stows handily underneath Ratchet's chassis.

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)
:''Transformers'' [[Cyber Slammers]] Ratchet is a cute little super-deformed Hummer H2 that transforms into a cute little super-deformed Autobot medical officer. 'Slam' his robot mode down into van mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into vehicle mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ratchet manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

===Deluxe Class toys===
[[File:ROTF deluxe Ratchet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I have a waist-coat!]]
*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Deluxe Class, 2009/[[2010]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-28'''
**''Accessories:'' EMP Blaster/Energon Multi-Beam Gun, EMP Blast Missile
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Ratchet is an all-new mold that is more accurate to Ratchet's final robot mode design when compared to his Voyager class toys. However, his vehicle mode has been changed to something akin to a military Humvee, albeit in Ratchet's distinctive emergency rescue regalia. This smaller vehicle mode means that his feet end up prominently sticking out from underneath the vehicle.

:He also features a new "launching [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] blast missile"-launcher weapon that resembles the arm-mounted machine gun that Ratchet uses in the films. The missile launcher weapon can also be attached to Deluxe [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], echoing the interactive features of their ''[[Ratchet (Animated)|Animated]]'' [[Lockdown (Animated)|counterparts']] toys. Likewise, Lockdown's engine can plug into Ratchet's rooftop, but that looks kinda doofy.

:Ratchet's [[Mech Alive]] feature is unlocked when the missile launcher is plugged into his arm, in which gearing moves pieces into place around the weapon as it's locked into place. His chest also has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]-like rearrangement of his chest-mounted headlights into robot mode configuration as his abdomen is pushed down into place.

:Ratchet's head had the peculiar feature of having two [[ball joint]] sockets stacked one atop the other- there was the shallow socket that his head was set at in the package which allowed superior mobility, then a deeper one that limited head movement but concealed his neck joint. The deeper socket could be used by pushing the head down. Sadly, a [[Variant|running change]] in his design eliminates one of the ball joints, making his head basically unposeable. His redecos would later continue to use this version of the mold.

*'''Desert Tracker Ratchet''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Roof rack/claw
:This ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Desert Tracker Ratchet," is a barely redecoed version of the ''Transformers'' Voyager Class Ratchet toy released in 2007, the only new decos being the change of his black plastic to dark grey and a "dirt" spray on his doors and shoulders. In a probable effort to cut costs, Hasbro has removed several decos that existed on the 2007 toy, such as half of the Emergency stripe on the sides of the vehicle, the red paint for the light bar and the turn signal lights.

*'''Surface To Air Showdown''' (Voyager Class 2-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Roof rack/claw
:A [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack featuring Ratchet squaring off against [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]], strangely reminiscent of Ratchet's fight with [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots]] Nintendo DS game. Both toys remain unchanged from their individual retail release, but Ratchet is now simply named "Autobot Ratchet" rather than "Desert Tracker Ratchet".

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Robot Replica, 2009)
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Robot Replicas]] Ratchet is a non-transforming, highly posable toy intended to be more accurate to Ratchet's CGI robot-mode than transforming toys are capable of. Ratchet is approximately five inches tall and features articulation at his neck, shoulders, elbows, waist, hips, knees and feet.

:''Transformers'' Rescue Ratchet is a white and red [[redeco]] of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Ratchet. Much like the many Rescue Ratchets from the 2007 Movie line, his color scheme is heavily inspired by Generation 1 Ratchet's [[Marvel Comics]] appearance.

**''Accessories:'' Roof rack/claw
:''Transformers'' "Night Ops Ratchet" is a mostly [[black repaint|black redeco]] of Voyager class Ratchet, somewhat similar to the [[#Battle Series|second RPM Ratchet]]. He is somewhat mistransformed in-package and in Hasbro's stock photos, as his windshield pieces remain over his abdomen in robot mode, not rotated around behind.

*'''Ratchet (Real Color Ver)''', ([[2011]])
*'''Ratchet (Metallic Color Ver.)''' ([[2011]])
:Released as part of the blindpacked EZ Collection Real by TakaraTomy's "TakaraTomy A.R.T.S", this Ratchet is a redeco of the first Legends Class figure, using the off-color version's green. Like his EZ Collection Real brethren, Ratchet comes with two different variants: The "Real Color" features a flat shade on the plastic colors and paint, while the "Metallic Color" features metallic paint and plastic instead. Like all land-based vehicles in this line, He features an extra paint applications on the wheels rims, which is only seen in the stock photo compared to the final product, which is left bare due to being molded with unpaintable plastic.

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Cyberverse Legion, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''ID Number:'' '''008'''
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''CV16'''
:''Cyberverse'' Ratchet is an entirely new Legion-class mold in white and light green. The new mold makes a few changes to his [[transformation]] compared to the Legends version, most notably finally forming his chest from the actual front of his vehicle mode. He has ball-jointed elbows (in a "lifting a dumbbell" orientation), making him one of the slightly more articulated Legion figures. His left hand is a standard-sized clip for holding Cyberverse accessories.

:Like the previous mold, his spare tire is the same size as his wheels and can be rotated with some effort, though the method of attachment is different.

:Despite what is shown in the [[stock photography]] seen to the right, the actual toy has Ratchet's head painted a different, more matte shade of green than the rest of the green plastic he's cast in.

:''Cyberverse'' Action Set Ratchet is a redeco/retool of the DOTM Legion Ratchet, now in gold and white with brown tires. The roof mounted spare tire has been replaced with a new piece featuring a [[5 mm post|5 mm peghole]]. He comes with the [[Lunar Crawler]] vehicle, which he can combine with in vehicle mode, as well as a much smaller crawler (as seen in the movie) which transforms into Ratchet's gun.

:Like other action sets, a removable cardboard backdrop for display is included. This time, the backdrop depicts the surface of the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], with a rover and an [[Autobot]] flag in the background.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cannon/Power [[Saw]]
:As part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Ratchet is a brand new mold.

:As part of the [[MechTech]] series, he comes with a lever-activated flip-out spinning "Power Saw" blade weapon, that is compatible with any 5mm port. In robot mode, Ratchet has [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] in each of his fists, on his back, on each of his shins, and on top of both of his shoulders. In Hummer H2 mode, he has a port in his spare tire and the shin ports can be revealed. He also has a pair of [[C joint]] bars on the lightbar.

:As the saw flips out from the side, the weapon housing features an alternative peg on its left side, should the saw ever collide and be obstructed during deploying. The two pegs also mean that, with some fiddling, Ratchet can hold his weapon with both hands.

:The Japanese ''Dark Side Moon'' release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

Amusingly, the trans-scanning process apparently recognizes the electro-cardiogram graphics of Ratchet's vehicle mode, as the outline of the graphics is present on the painted scan details.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' "Autobot Ratchet" is an entirely new mold (believe it or not) based on the engineering of [[#Deluxe Class toys 3|the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe mold]], but very slightly downsized. He changes from robot to licensed Hummer H2 and back in 18 steps, and includes a movie-inspired buzzsaw accessory that can store on his spare wheel in vehicle mode. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the battle of Mission City.

:Unfortunately, due to the grill being molded in soft plastic, some of the samples may come with the grills bent.

:Ratchet, along with the rest of Wave 1 Deluxes, was made available at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] following New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], two months ahead of the scheduled brick and mortar release date.

Triggerhappy (G1)

2019-01-12T00:58:39Z

MechaWing: Changing most of Triggerhappy's image captions to lyrics from Trigger Happy (Weird Al Yankovic). I think it'd be a fitting change, maybe. Feel free to revert.

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Triggerhappy}}
{{picsneeded|fictional appearances}}
:''Triggerhappy is a [[Decepticon]] [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:G1Triggerhappy boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel alright
Got an Uzi by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better at night'']]

'''Triggerhappy''' is a nutball. You get them in the Decepticons from time to time. He's generally found [[Humanization|drooling]] and/or giggling wildly. He's been that way ever since an incident at [[Decepticon boot camp]], in which he was firing while surfing on his [[hoverboard]], but fell off and hit his head. He remained firing all the while and ended up disintegrating half a dozen other Decepticons. The camp commander was impressed and graduated Triggerhappy on the spot. Nobody is sure if it's an act or if he suffered [[Processors|processor]] damage in the fall. What is known is that he pays very little attention to where he's shooting but LOVES the sound his gun makes when fired. Good idea arming him there, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].

Triggerhappy is [[Binary bonding|binary-bonded]] with [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]], the conniving, envious brother-in-law of [[Nebulan]] leader [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]].

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Charlie Adler]] (English), [[Ken Narita]] (Japanese)

[[File:TheRebirth1 TriggerhappySlugslinger.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|''Well, you can't take my guns away, I got a constitutional right
Yeah, I gotta be ready if the Autobots attack us tonight'']]
Triggerhappy was one of several Decepticon jets serving under [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] when they attacked [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] as part of a diversion while the Decepticon Clones stole the Key to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]. After Scourge successfully activated the chamber on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] (and inadvertently sent a shuttle full of Autobots and the key halfway across the galaxy), Triggerhappy, [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]], and [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] were among the Decepticon unit sent to retrieve the key. Following the Autobots to [[Nebulos]], Triggerhappy attacked the Autobums, welcoming them to the scrapyard that they would become should he succeed in destroying them. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

Though the Decepticons managed to capture several Autobots, they were soon overwhelmed by new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster technology]] the Autobots developed with the Nebulan rebels. After making a deal with the Hive, the Decepticons underwent [[binary bonding]] as well, and Triggerhappy was given a new partner who blows hard and fast. Armed with this new skill, Triggerhappy and his [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] companions successfully helped reacquire the Chamber's key. While waiting for Zarak to complete modifications to [[Scorponok (G1)|his city]], Triggerhappy declared a possible gasket-blowing event was imminent should he be made to wait any longer. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

Triggerhappy and the other Targetmasters returned to Cybertron just in the nick of time to save Galvatron from the remainder of the Autobot forces. Galvatron was less than impressed by their new Hive partners, however, and addressed Triggerhappy directly when he berated them for letting organics inhabit their bodies, despite the fact Triggerhappy wasn't a Headmaster. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Michihiro Ikemizu]]

Triggerhappy and his partners, Misfire and Slugslinger, were frequent opponents of the Autobot trio under [[Pointblank]]'s command. When all of them were engaged in combat over several space-faring denizens of planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], a massive explosion caught everyone off-guard. Triggerhappy and his partners and foes alike were transformed into Targetmasters, somehow fused together in pairs with each of the smaller Master Transformers by the explosion. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

====''The Headmasters'' manga====
[[File:HM issue 7 Decepticon Targetmasters.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|''Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day'']]
Triggerhappy and the Decepticon Targetmasters attempted to disrupt the Autobots' efforts to put out a blazing fire on Earth. The Autobots' split focus left them vulnerable, until the Battleship Maximus extinguished the entire fire in one sweep. [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] and [[Artfire]] then turned their full attention on Triggerhappy and his allies, driving them from the scene. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 7|The Headmasters #7}}
{{-}}

====''Legends'' comic====
As one of the Decepticons stationed on Earth in the 1980s, Triggerhappy participated in the battle for the [[Transform Super Cog]] where his crazed firing in random directions kept his allies staying far, far away. He fled into space following Slugslinger's failed attempt at usurping [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] as [[Decepticon leader]]. {{storylink|Slugslinger's Ambition}}

In [[2021]], Triggerhappy and the Decepticon Targetmasters fought for Scorponok when he sought to create [[plasma energy]] by detonating a [[black hole]], hoping the ensuing energy wave would let them bond with the Autobots' Targetmaster partners as well. Instead, the explosion shrunk their bodies and caused their partners to vanish. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} Like other victims, the Targetmasters converted their heads into small [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] bodies and traveled to the [[Legends World]], where they kidnapped [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] and forced him to use his [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]] to teleport their Targetmaster partners to them. The partners were overloaded with plasma energy, however, forcing Trion to scatter them across the Legends World. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}}

Triggerhappy began running a shooting gallery to earn money for a [[transtector]], though his love for guns compelled him to help his customers shoot the targets, leaving him giving away the prizes. He was eventually approached by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and asked for his help in capturing the supercharged Blowpipe, who was rampaging through [[Akihabara|Neo Akihabara City]]. Granted a transtector by the local police force, Triggerhappy subdued and regained Blowpipe, then agreed to work for the police force since the position allowed him to fire guns a lot. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 49|Bonus Edition Vol. 49}} He was charged with interrogating Misfire following the latter's arrest, but was disappointed in his comrade's aim and started teaching him how to shoot guns instead. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 52|Bonus Edition Vol. 52}} Triggerhappy later used Blowpipe's mutant ability to scale up [[Repugnus (G1)|Repugnus]]'s armor suit so it would fit [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}}

Triggerhappy was touched by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Blurr (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blurr]]'s reunion at the police station, which distracted him from Blowpipe being stolen by the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]]. {{storylink|TF Legends Late Xmas Present Chapter|Late Xmas Present Chapter}} When Slugslinger got his hands on [[Caliburst (G1)|Caliburst]], he swiftly betrayed Triggerhappy and Misfire, knocking them out with [[anti-electron]]s and stealing their Targetmaster partners. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 55|Bonus Edition Vol. 55}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:Decepticon targetmasters brothers in armor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Triggerhappy participated in a raid on an Autobot city on Cybertron, ending with its incineration. Several prisoners of war were captured by his squad, and Triggerhappy openly mocked the captives as they were marched towards their doom in the [[smelting pool]]. The procession was interrupted by an Autobot ambush led by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]]; the Decepticons were overwhelmed, and their commander, [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]], ordered a retreat so that they might live to fight another day. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

The Decepticons eventually managed to storm the Autobots' base, only to find it already evacuated. Though confused at first, they learned that their foes had fled to the planet [[Nebulos]]. Triggerhappy and the others made their way to the alien world, where they met with one of the locals, [[Zarak (G1)|Lord Zarak]], who enlisted them in ridding his planet of the Autobots. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} ''During this meeting, Triggerhappy had to exert what little self-control he had to prevent himself from reducing the fleshy Nebulans to smoldering piles of ash.'' {{storylink|Doomsday for Nebulos}} Learning that several of the Autobots were holed up in [[Koraja]], Triggerhappy participated in a full-scale assault on the city. In retaliation, Fortress Maximus and four other Autobots emerged, having underwent a [[binary bonding]] process. Thanks to the newfound power this upgrade afforded them, the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] sent the Decepticons into a panicked retreat. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

After the Autobots also developed [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] technology, the Decepticons managed to reverse-engineer the process, and had five of their own members binary bond their weapons to Nebulan partners. Triggerhappy was among those selected, with [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]] becoming his pistol. He was put into action soon afterwards, as their Autobot prisoners managed to break free. Despite Triggerhappy's best efforts to shoot straight, the enemy soldiers escaped. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}} ''After capturing the Autobot Targetmasters, Triggerhappy and the other Decepticons ambushed [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]], [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]], [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] so that Scorponok could capture one of them to examine the Headmaster process more closely. However, while Scorponok busied himself studying Highbrow, the remaining Autobot Headmasters were able to free their Targetmaster comrades and turn the tables on the Decepticons.'' {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}

[[File:Targetmasters final conflict.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]
''Thanks to a bug previously planted in the Autobots' headquarters, the Decepticons learned that their enemies had manufactured a fuel convertor that would allow them travel to [[Earth]]. They put together a plan to steal it. Triggerhappy, Slugslinger, and Misfire approached Fortress Maximus under the pretense that they had a message to deliver: Scorponok wanted to challenge him to a death match, and whoever emerged victorious would be declared triumphant in the greater conflict. Maximus accepted, unaware that the duel was merely a distraction. As it raged, Slugslinger snuck into Brainstorm's lab and made off with the fuel convertor. Once this was done, the duel came to a premature end, the Decepticons made their way off-world, and the Autobots were forced to follow.'' {{storylink|The Final Conflict}}

{{note|The events in this UK story differ in significant ways to the [[The Transformers: Headmasters|Headmasters]] mini-series.}}

Shortly afterwards the Decepticons left [[Nebulos]] and pursued the Autobots aboard the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' to [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

''When Highbrow managed to decapitate Scorponok and escaped with his head, Triggerhappy was among several Decepticons who pursued, catching up to him just as he neared the Autobots' spaceship. As they forcefully retrieved their leader's head, the Decepticons witnessed several Autobots materialize from the future, leading to some infighting among the Autobots' ranks. Irritated over being left out of the battle, Scorponok's Decepticons were about to join in, only for the bulk of them to be temporarily shunted off to [[Limbo]] when [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s troops from the year [[2009]] arrived in [[1989]]. Triggerhappy was one of the few left behind. A tenuous alliance was then brokered between the Autobots and Decepticons from both eras in order to combat the more pressing threat of the super-Decepticon [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. However, when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] accidentally shot Scorponok while he was attacking Galvatron, Triggerhappy and the other Decepticons turned on the Autobot. While Optimus Prime dealt with the mad Galvatron, Triggerhappy and the other Decepticons carried their leader to safety.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

Scorponok was repaired, and next took his troops to meet with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons at their Arctic base. While Scorponok and a small entourage were receiving a guided tour of said base, they learned that Ratbat was purposely withholding information about the legendary [[Underbase]] from them. Enraged by the deceit, Scorponok stormed back towards his ship, where the rest of his troops were waiting, only for his path to be barred by Ratbat's cronies. Seeing this take place, Triggerhappy and [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Grr]] decided to lead their shipmates in an assault and come to Scorponok's aid. Decepticon clashed against Decepticon until those on both sides of this civil war came to realize that [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] had engineered the whole debacle to get to the Underbase himself. {{storylink|Cold War!}}

Starscream was in time defeated, and Triggerhappy continued to serve under Scorponok as he acquired leadership over all Earth-bound Decepticons. Following a distress signal issued by the [[Air Strike Patrol]], Scorponok led his minions into battle against Optimus Prime's Autobots within the [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Strangely, Optimus called for all his troops to return to the Ark while he remained behind. Scorponok was suspicious, but wouldn't allow himself to pass up the opportunity to vanquish his enemy. Triggerhappy and the others rushed Optimus Prime as he tried to stop Scorponok from firing on the shuttlecraft, but Prime, who was quickly becoming frustrated with the day's events, was able to overpower all of them. As Optimus pleaded to Scorponok to stop fighting and determine the mastermind who was pulling their strings, they were interrupted by a huge hint: Starscream had arrived, reborn as a [[Pretender]]. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} Triggerhappy was among the first to fall to the new arrival's might, gunned down as Starscream proclaimed he was carrying out [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s will. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

[[File:US69EyeofStorm.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|left|''Now why'd you have to get so mad?
It was just a lousy flesh wound, Dad'']]
Later during the war on Earth, Triggerhappy got sick of Scorponok's command, especially after he let that maniac Starscream back into the Decepticons. Triggerhappy couldn't stand working with Starscream, so he and [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] left Scorponok's Decepticons, only to ironically be strong-armed by Starscream himself into joining his and [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s auxiliary army, which also included [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]], [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]], and [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]]. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm}} Though Mindwipe was more vocal on the subject, Triggerhappy was clearly displeased with being forced into this new group. Shockwave made it clear that, should the pair not fight at their side, they would be terminated. As such, Triggerhappy joined in on an attack on Scorponok's [[New Jersey base]]. {{storylink|Surrender!}} The base was easily collapsed on itself, though this did little to assuage Triggerhappy and Mindwipe's fears that Scorponok may yet rise up to destroy them all. Pitying their cowardice, Starscream urged the others to help him dig out whatever survivors they may find, and offer them a choice: join them or be destroyed. Unfortunately, the first to be excavated was indeed Scorponok. Shockwave ordered Triggerhappy and the others to rush Scorponok, but the latter's ultra-dense armor proved invulnerable to their laser fire. Triggerhappy was easily tackled down by his opponent, who then moved on to duelling Shockwave in the nearby river. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}}

The coup was interrupted when [[Primus]] summoned all the Transformers of Earth to Cybertron to do battle with [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Out of Time!}} Triggerhappy and the other teleported Transformers witnessed Primus, speaking through the body of [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]], tell the history of their supernatural war with the Dark God. {{storylink|The Void!

While [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] used his [[Nullification Cannon]] on Cybertron's [[energon]] suppliy, Triggerhappy was part of a team lead by [[Sixshot]] that carried out a diversionary attack. Triggerhappy was punched out by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
Triggerhappy was among the Decepticons who traveled to [[Nebulos]] in search of energy. When they discovered a wealth of cosmic energy at the pole, Triggerhappy reminded [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] that if used it to kill all the Autobots, they wouldn't have anyone to fight.

When Optimus became stranded on Cybertron's hemisphere of darkness with his memory damaged, Triggerhappy joined a small strike force of Decepticons called S.T.O.P. ([[Seek and Terminate Optimus Prime]]) to either destroy or recruit the amnesic Autobot leader. {{Storylink|Optimus Prime Is Back}}

Triggerhappy was part of the crew of the ''[[Thanatos]]'', commanded by [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] and the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. He begrudgingly gave aid to Optimus Prime and the [[Wrecker]]s while battling [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] in order to preserve their home planet of Cybertron and show the Autobots how war was really done. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

Much later, Triggerhappy appeared among the Decepticons imprisoned on Cybertron after the war with [[D-Void]]. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} Triggerhappy was part of an angry Decepticon crowd who demanded answers from the Autobots for Ratbat's death.{{storylink|Stick Together}} He joined up with [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]], who was trying to lead the Decepticons back into war, only to be killed by [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] while guarding their base. {{storylink|The End of the Beginning of the World}}

A [[nano-virus]] that afflicted most Autobots save the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] and the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] required [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] to lead a team to [[Nebulos]] for an anti-virus. However, the nano-virus was merely a ploy by the Decepticons to draw out the Targetmasters and Headmasters to abduct their [[Nebulan]] partners, so when the Autobots arrived on Nebulos, Triggerhappy and several other Decepticons were waiting for them! Triggerhappy and the others quickly fell into disarray, unfortunately, when their leader Straxus was singled out and defeated. {{storylink|The Fierce Fighting on Planet Nebulos}}

===''TransTech''===
During the conflict between the [[Screaming Eagle]]s and [[S.K.A.R.]] in [[Primax 806.30 Gamma]], Triggerhappy's Targetmaster partner was the human arms-dealer [[Rampage (S.K.A.R.)|Rampage]], using technology derived from the old [[I.R.O.N. Army]]. The Decepticons and their human allies were ultimately defeated by [[Sgt. Savage]]'s [[Screaming Eagles]] and the Autobots. {{storylink|Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter|Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News, 2016/05/01}}

*When the Transformers' war resumed its course on [[Nebulos|Nebulon]], Triggerhappy could be seen fighting alongside his fellow Decepticon [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] against their Autobot counterparts, while [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] grappled in the distance. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Headmaster comic book|Headmaster comic book commercial}}
*Triggerhappy and [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] battled [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] and [[Crosshairs (G1)|Crosshairs]] in the middle of a mechanical city. Triggerhappy strafed Sureshot from above until the Autobot transformed into robot mode and began firing back. Triggerhappy mirrored Sureshot's actions, leading to Sureshot tackling Triggerhappy and both combatants losing grip on their guns. Triggerhappy and Sureshot continued to grapple while their guns transformed and did the same. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Targetmasters|Targetmasters commercial}}

*'''Triggerhappy with Blowpipe''' (Targetmaster, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-88'''
**''Accessories:'' "Blowpipe" Targetmaster gun/[[Compression cannon|Compressed Air Cannon]]

:Triggerhappy transforms into a blue Cybertronic fighter craft with large, dual off-white cannons on either side his body and four wing-mounted thrusters, making him look kinda-sorta-vaguely like an [[X-wing Fighter]] from ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''. His Targetmaster partner, Blowpipe, can be stored in a socket on the rear of the fighter, just in front of where his head is stored. Somewhat unusually, the entire cockpit nose is mounted on a bar that swings upward so the nose meets with the rear fuselage to form his upper torso. His large fighter cannons swing up to the sides of his arms in [[robot mode]], but the hinges aren't strong enough to deal with their weight, so they have a tendency to flop down.

:Like the other Targetmasters, his Japanese release lacks a [[rubsign]].

===Generations===
[[File:TF-Generations-Titans-Return-Deluxe-Triggerhappy.jpg|upright=1.75|thumb|''Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight
(Shoot to kill now, shoot to kill)'' ]]
*'''Blowpipe & Triggerhappy''' (Deluxe Class, [[2016]])
**''Accessories:'' "Blowpipe" Titan Master, 2 blaster weapons.
: Part of the third wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', Triggerhappy transforms into a Cybertronian starfighter. He has 5mm post holes on the underside of his wings and the inside of his built-in non-firing blasters, accessible in robot mode. The holes on his shoulders can also accept 5mm posts, but are covered by his wings or blasters in both modes. Like most ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a port for a generic pose/flight stand on his backside. Triggerhappy's transformation is surprisingly complex compared to most ''Titans Return'' Deluxe figures, with most of the parts shifting by way of swivels that rotate the entire body in multiple directions.

:He includes two blasters that can combine into a larger weapon that his [[Titan Master]] partner, [[Blowpipe (G1)#Generations|Blowpipe]] can sit in. Unlike most Deluxe and larger figures, however, there does not appear to be a way to mount the combined weapon in vehicle mode, and while Blowpipe can peg in, it does not appear to have a proper seat. Amusingly, it seems to be based on Blowpipe's original Targetmaster form, with sculpted legs at one end and each blaster having similar asymmetrical double barrels. Despite coming with a pair of guns, most official pictures, such as the one on his box, only show his vehicle mode with one attached gun.

:His robot mode face is based on his appearance in fiction rather than his original toy.

:Triggerhappy was retooled into [[Metalhawk (Masterforce)#Generations|Metalhawk]]. His legs were also used for [[Misfire_(G1)#Generations|Misfire]] and [[Slugslinger_(G1)#Generations|Slugslinger]], who are otherwise completely new figures from the crotch up. He and ''Legends'' Weirdwolf's Headmaster would've been redecoed as Sprocket for the BotCon 2017 "Action on Hydrus Four" set and the customization class Rumbler that never came to be.

*'''Targetmaster Triggerharpy (Targetmaster Triggerhappy)''' (Deluxe Class, [[2017]]-[[October 28|10-28]])
**''ID number'': '''LG49'''
**''Accessories:'' Headmaster, [[Blowpipe (G1)#Legends|Blowpipe]] Targetmaster

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' "Targetmaster Triggerharpy" is a [[redeco]] and slight retool of the above ''Titans Return'' mold with minor changes in paint details and a new port on his chest where his [[Decepticon]] insignia used to be. He does not come with the same guns, but a newly molded [[Blowpipe (G1)#Legends|Blowpipe]] Targetmaster.

*For some reason Triggerhappy's [[character model]] in the comics and cartoon differs from that of his toy and [[package art]]. He has a [[Mouthplate|faceplate]] in his fictional appearances, and normal eyes, giving him a ninja-like face. His toy features a normal face with comic-[[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]]-style "shades".
*The 1987 and 1988 North American [[catalog]]s featuring Triggerhappy depict him using a non-final toy—one whose head is blatantly a hand-painted copy of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]'s!
