You think you can take '''Treadshot'''? Go ahead on. It's your move.

Y'see, there just ain't no quicker gunslinger out there than Treadshot. He'll plant a bullet between your optics before you can blink, then another five in various parts of your body before it hits the ground. Course, sometimes power is needed over precision, and Treadshot's got ya covered there too, thanks to his [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Catgut]]. With this hired gun pullin' the trigger of a particle-blaster cannon, there's few bots the Decepticon high command trust more to make sure a target goes down and stays down.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
[[File:TreadshotMarvel.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Howdy, pilgrim.]]
After the battle with [[Unicron]], Treadshot attended a meeting of the combined [[Autobot]]/[[Decepticon]] forces at their headquarters, standing between [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]]. He witnessed the report by [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] that their world was falling apart, and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s ensuing declaration that the Transformers must evacuate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

Treadshot was later seen with Soundwave and Crankcase again, apparently clearing debris with them. They were interrupted by [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] punching [[Fangry]] through the window of a nearby building, which caught the attention of the newly-arrived [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and [[Krok (G1)|Krok]] as well.

While Fangry briefly had the upper hand, Grimlock's [[Nucleon]]-powered body enabled him to administer a savage beat down to the Decepticon. This caused Treadshot and Soundwave to react angrily, though neither one stepped forward to help their blustery comrade. After Prowl stopped the attack, Treadshot watched as Bludgeon manipulated Prowl into revealing the Autobots' unagreeably peaceful post-exodus plans. {{storylink|Exodus!}}

[[File:Treadshot natural selection.jpg|thumb|300px]]
After the resurrected [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] returned to Cybertron, converting Autobots to Decepticons with his [[Gene Key]], Treadshot ended up working for him at the [[Civil Defense Hub]]. Grimlock stormed in looking for Scorponok and finding that he was at the [[Sonic Canyons]] announced that he was going to look for the rest of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] instead. Treadshot refused to let him, insisting that he follow Scorponok's orders to stay put, but when an alarm sounded at "[[Nursery|The Nursery]]" Grimlock realised that it was the Dinobots sending him a message so he smashed Treadshot's head into his screen before he could alert anyone else. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}}

Treadshot worked alongside [[Squawkbox]], [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]], and either [[Wingspan]] or [[Pounce]] in the operations center of the Decepticon space station where [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] were posted. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}} Later, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] discovered his impaled body at [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzaitron]]'s destroyed base as she searched for clues on [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] and [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} He survived, and somehow ended up on the Autobot prison planet [[Garrus-9]] during [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]]'s takeover. When the [[Wrecker]]s invaded, Treadshot attempted to snipe at [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], [[Twin Twist]], and [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] as they fell through an empty energy reactor. He was dispatched with a retaliatory harpoon shot by Impactor. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 3|Last Stand of the Wreckers #3}}{{-}}

===Generation 1===
[[File:G1Treadshot toy.jpg|300px|thumb|In Italy, this may be my second figure...]]
*'''Treadshot with Catgut''' ([[Action Master]], [[1990]])
**''Accessories'': "Pulse demagnetizer" rifle

:Part of the first assortment of individually-carded "basic" Action Master figures, Treadshot is a non-transforming action figure, though his design shows that his former alternate mode is a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum pistol. He is compatible with any other Action Master partner, weapon or vehicle. He came packaged with his [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Catgut]].

:Treadshot's [[instructions]] depict a different [[weapon]] than the one the toy actually comes with—specifically, a weapon that wasn't available with ''any'' Action Master. The weapon that ''was'' available with Treadshot, meanwhile, is depicted in ''[[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave's]]'' instructions, which resulted in quite a few mix-ups on toy information websites and in identification guides (including ''[[Transformers Generations|Generations]]'' and, uh, the photo to the right).

*'''Treadshot w/ Catgut''' (Deluxe, [[2014]])
**''TFSS2 number'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Missile, "Catgut" partner

:A [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers Generations|Generations]]'' [[Warpath (G1)#Generations|Warpath]], Treadshot now transforms into an "H-tread" combat tank of likely made-up origins. A spring-loaded missile launcher is placed on his right shoulder, and rods in his legs and arms are compatible with [[c joint]] accessories. He also comes with a new version of [[Catgut#Timelines|Catgut]].

:Treadshot comes with a minor misassembly: The base of his tank cannon is put in backwards, shortening the amount the cannon extents and how high it can be raised in tank mode. This is easily fixed by removing the screws at the bottom of his chest and placing the cannon base the right way around.

:Treadshot was available as part of the [[exclusive]] 2014 [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service]].

:This mold was also used to make [[BotCon 2013]]'s [[Strika (BM)#Timelines|Strika]] and the [[Blastcharge Strika Drone]].

==Notes==
[[File:HighwayPatrolRobo.jpg|100px|thumb|Rare, but not really a good toy.]]
*Unlike the other new-character Action Masters, Treadshot appears to be based on a pre-existing toy—strikingly, a toy perhaps not designed by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] at all! Originally manufactured by Sunmayor Ohkawa (サンマーヤ大川) Co., Ltd., as the "357 Magnum Robo" (357マグナムロボ), this robot transforms into a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum with scope attachments. Its massive and awkward inner body serves as a real firing "gun" in both modes, complete with spinning bullet chamber and launching teeny tiny [[for safety reasons|blatant choke-hazard]] bullets with a pull of the trigger. It was later called the "Highway Patrol Robo" and released in [[GiG]]'s ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy. Information on this toy is scant... but, strangely, it shows up in Takara's ''[[Takara SF Land Collection Complete Works]]'' toy book, which only further complicates the mystery of its origins.
