'''Peacemaker''' is an upbeat, almost contagiously positive Nebulan police officer. He keeps trying to cheer up his Autobot partner [[Pointblank]] to little result. Pointblank doesn't feel the Autobots should have involved the Nebulans in the war to begin with, and so disapproves of his partner and his advice on principle. Those who know him, though, say that Peacemaker has actually made progress in improving the dour Autobot's world view. Not a lot of progress, mind you...

Thankfully Peacemaker knows how to be patient, loves a challenge, and is firm in his belief that optimism leads to success.

Peacemaker's nature varies. In some universes he is an organic Nebulan; in others he is a robotic Cybertronian.

Peacemaker was the default leader of a group of Nebulans who, at great risk to themselves, joined the outlawed Autobots during Zarak and Scorponok's reign of terror on Nebulos. After undergoing the bio-engineering process that allowed them to transform into replacement weapons, they partnered with the six Autobots who had surrendered their weapons some months earlier. Peacemaker partnered with Pointblank, who was likewise the acting commander of the Autobots in the absence of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. Peacemaker explained that the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]], Nebulos's leading agricultural research center, was under threat of takeover by the Decepticons; this news prompted the Autobots to roll out to defend it.

Peacemaker and fellow Nebulans were getting a guided tour of the Nursery from head botanist [[Selani]] when Scorponok arrived with the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s in tow. The six Nebulans transformed to their new weapon forms, and the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s unleashed their new firepower. Though the group fared well enough, the Autobots ended up retreating to spare the Nursery utter destruction from the battle. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

''At some point before leaving Nebulos, Peacemaker and the rest of the Autobot and Nebulan Targetmasters were kidnapped by the Decepticons. They were rescued by the Autobot Headmasters.'' {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}

Peacemaker accompanied Pointblank to Earth, and was present on the Targetmasters' first mission on that world. He was, along with his partners, introduced to Sparkplug Witwicky by Spike, Fortress Maximus's new binary bond partner. Later, Pointblank wielded him in weapons mode as the group stormed the Decepticons' island base, only to be forced into retreat by the island's hidden defenses. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}}

Peacemaker was part of [[Gort]]'s group of rebel Nebulans. When Targetmaster technology was stolen from the [[Decepticon]]s, Peacemaker chose to be paired with Pointblank. Shortly after the process was completed, he greeted the Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to the planet by introducing himself. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Like the rest of the Nebulan rebels, he accompanied the Autobots back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and helped to defeat the Decepticons and bring about a new [[Golden Age]] on the planet. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

Peacemaker and his five friends were refugees, having fled their home planet of [[Master (planet)|Master]] when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the Decepticons began an all-out siege on the world. They were being chased through space in their starship by the Decepticons when they came across the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] gave them safe haven aboard his starship, and the Master citizens attempted to show their gratitude by removing the deadly [[plasma energy]] bombs Fortress was trying to dispose of. Their efforts came too late, however, as the plasma energy bombs exploded aboard their ship in space, bathing everyone nearby with energy. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

[[Image:HM 30 Peaceman Pointblank.jpg|thumb|left|Nothing like a bloodbath to start the day.]]

Peacemaker survived the explosion, and in fact underwent a miraculous transformation. He and two of his fellow refugees were each now binary bonded to one of the Autobot warriors who had been trying to save them when the plasma bombs went off. The smaller Master warriors could each transform into a powerful weapon and fuse with their larger partner's fist, creating Targetmasters. Peacemaker and his new partner Pointblank became soldiers together under Fortress's command. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

[[Image:HM 30 Pointblank Peaceman bonded.jpg|thumb|right|I cherish peace with all my heart. I don't care how many men, women, and children I need to kill to get it.]]

Accompanying his partner, Peacemaker quietly stood in a meeting of the Autobots in the bridge of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]], which discussed [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s presence on Master. Peacemaker later stood in attendance as [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] informed the others of [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]'s disappearance. Soon after, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] contacted the Autobots, revealing that the Decepticons had kidnapped Wheelie. After Wheelie was rescued, Peaceamn joined Pointblank in battle against the Decepticons. Their efforts were for naught, as the Decepticons acquired the data on the [[Master Sword]] they were seeking, and Peacemaker sat on Pointblank's shoulder as he apologized to Fortress for their failure. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Peacemaker soon joined his partner in an investigation on Master for the possible presence of the Decepticons. The Autobots were soon accosted by the Decepticon Targetmasters and the two forces battled each other. The Decepticons were able to wash the Autobots away in a surge of water from an elevated lake. They were eventually able to pull themselves out of the new river and scouted the area for the hidden Decepticons, finding their cave hideout. As they were much smaller than their partners, Peacemaker, [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pointech]], and [[Spoilsport|Spoil]] volunteered to go ahead, using a small entrance into the factory where the Decepticons were creating the [[Zarak Shield]]. When their larger partners again came under attack by the Decepticon Targetmasters, they left the complex and rejoined their comrades, helping force the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}

[[Image:HM 34 Peaceman sits on Pointblank.jpg|thumb|left|You're the leader. You're supposed to be decisive.]]

With the Zarak Shield now known to the Autobots, they had a meeting to discuss strategy, which Peacemaker sat in. Following Pointblank's strategy, the smaller Targetmaster partners joined in an advance part to find the Decepticons. They were soon attacked by the Decepticons, who had detected them. During battle, the Decepticons were distracted by an aircraft sent by the natives of Master, allowing the Autobots to escape. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} After the Decepticons left Master for [[Earth]], the Autobots followed. When Daniel was trapped at [[Daira]], the Targetmasters went ahead to keep watch on Scorponok while the others rescued Daniel. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}} They were spotted in the [[asteroid belt]] and pulled into a battle. The other Autobots came to their rescue, and the fighting ended when [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] challenged [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] to battle. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

When the Autobots arrived on Earth, the Targetmasters were sent to investigate the [[Death Tower]] in [[Santiago]], [[Chile]]. They met with [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who was easily taken down by Peacemaker and Pointblank, and returned to the other Autobots with their data. {{Storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} The Autobots soon went to [[Giza (region)|Giza]], [[Egypt]], to catch the Death Tower there before it emerged. Peacemaker later joined the Autobots in the decisive battle at the [[Arctic|North Pole]] and the [[Final Formation]] that ended Scorponok's machinations on Earth. {{Storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''Legends'' comic====
[[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] told [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] the story about how he and other diminutive Autobots, including Peacemaker, fled [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] because of the war and settled on Master. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 9|Bonus Edition Vol. 9}} Years prior to becoming a Targetmaster, Peacemaker was one of six Master warriors who were kidnapped by Scorponok and exposed to [[plasma energy]], removing their ability to speak. When Scorponok returned to Master in 2011 and tried to recapture them and continue his experiments, the six of them fled the planet. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}}

In [[2021]], Peacemaker and the Autobot Targetmasters were battling their Decepticon counterparts in space when Scorponok detonated a [[black hole]], creating a plasma energy shockwave that caused the Targetmaster partners to vanish. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} When they were located in the void of space, the six had been supercharged with plasma energy and gathered together into a clump of guns. The Decepticon Targetmasters attempted to steal them away to the [[Legends World]] using [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]'s [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]], but the plasma energy was too dangerous and Trion instead scattered them across the dimension. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}} Furthermore, the combination of plasma energy with the Legends World's unique energies mutated the Targetmasters, granting them new powers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 45|Bonus Edition Vol. 45}}

Peacemaker, Pinpointer and Spoilsport ended up underground in an unpopulated area, further absorbing the [[proton energy]] used to create the Legends World {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 61|Bonus Edition Vol. 61}} until they were discovered by [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Metroplex)|Bonus Edition Metroplex}} They were then stolen by [[Pounce]] and [[Wingspan]], who used the now extremely powerful Targetmasters to defeat Metroplex before setting their sights on world conquest. Fortunately [[Fastlane]] and [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]] managed to separate them from the three Targetmasters, who flew off to avoid being used for evil purposes. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 61|Bonus Edition Vol. 61}} For reasons unknown, they reunited and went berserk, attacking [[Akihabara|Neo Akihabara City]] until [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] captured Pinpointer and used him to defeat Peacemaker and Spoilsport. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 62|Bonus Edition Vol. 62}}

Using her connection to Pinpointer to take remote control of Peacemaker and Spoilsport, Windblade herself attacked the Legends World on the orders of [[Katsu Don]]. Fortunately [[Twin Twist]] succeeded in severing her control over Peacemaker, who fell into the hands of [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 65|Bonus Edition Vol. 65}} Topspin subsequently wielded him while battling and defeating Windblade and Katsu Don. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 66|Bonus Edition Vol. 66}}

===''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe''===
Peacemaker was a member of the [[Rescuebot]]s, a group of Autobots dedicated to protecting humans, and acted as the weapon of their combined mode, [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. When Defensor was injured in battle with [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and unable to lift Peacemaker, [[Steeler]] came to the rescue and propped the gun-bot up with his [[Bridge Layer]], granting the combiner another shot at Trypticon. {{storylink|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe issue 12|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #12}}

==Commercial appearances==
When the Transformers' war resumed its course on [[Nebulos|Nebulon]], Peacemaker accompanied [[Pointblank]] into battle. They fought alongside their fellow Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] against their Decepticon 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}}

: Included with ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Pointblank#Legacy|Autobot Blanker]], Peacemaker is an all-new mold that turns from robot to gun in 2 steps. Due to being part of Pointblank's mold instead of his own dedicated one, he has less articulation compared to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Battle_Master|Battle Masters]], only having an ab crunch (if you're really stretching it) that's more for the transformation.
