[[File:SixshotBoxArt.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Determined to make bad where his [[Quickswitch|Autobot son]] went good, Sixshot joins the Decepticons!]]

Few Decepticons are as feared as '''Sixshot''' (aka '''Six Shot''' and '''[[Greatshot]]'''), either by the Autobots or by their own comrades. As the first Transformer [[Six Changer]], able to assume six different modes, he is officially designated as a "Solo Transformer Assault Group" (or "S.T.A.G."), but is more colloquially known among those who know and fear him as a "one-robot army". Sixshot's destructive ability is the stuff of legend, a gleeful murderousness that is matched in ferocity only by the intensity with which he sets to the bloody tasks given him. He is not to be mistaken for a mindless weapon, however—he is highly intelligent, and not without honor of a warped sort. He grants due respect to any opponent he deems worthy, and always speaks well of them after he has inevitably dispatched them to, as he puts it, "the great junkyard in the sky".

These attitudes are reflective of Sixshot's understanding of the inevitable end that waits for a warrior such as he, and the hope that when his own end eventually arrives he will be remembered in the same way. But that end will be long in coming, for although Sixshot believes that life is only worth living for as long as there are opponents who can challenge him, his mantra does not preclude his own allegiance changing in order to make new enemies and challenges where none existed before.

Sixshot was among the Decepticons who stormed [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in [[2007]] in order to seize control of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. When the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] barred the villains' way, [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] called upon Sixshot to take them on, and he proceeded to effortlessly use each of his five [[alternate mode]]s to down the five individual members of the team. In order, he shot down [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] while in tank mode, transformed to [[beast mode]] and flew up to destroy [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]], landed and transformed to armored car mode to shoot down [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], transformed to jet mode to shoot [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] and finally transformed into his gun mode which [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] used to shoot down [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. Converting back to [[robot mode]] to survey his handiwork, Sixshot mirthfully dismissed the brief battle as being "like shooting [[cyber-duck]]s in a barrel." {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

Sixshot, a member of the [[Six Clan]], had a long, bloody history of being a scoundrel and a killer. Millions of years prior to his becoming Decepticon [[City Commander]], Sixshot traveled to the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]] and tried to rip off a mining operation. One of the miners, [[Abel]], stood up to him and Sixshot brutally murdered him. Abel happened to be a good friend of [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]'s, however, this was before he underwent the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster process]] and he was too weak to stop Sixshot. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

[[File:Sixshot first app.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|So the character that everyone remembers from this series isn't even a Headmaster, huh? [[Sixshot (G1)#Titans Return|Gotta fix that.]]]]

Sixshot debuted in 2011 with the function of "Decepticon [[Trypticon (G1)|Dinobase]] Ninja Commander".<ref>''Destron Dinobase Ninja Sanbō'' (デストロンダイノベース忍者参謀), infamously translated as "Ninja Consultant" in the [[Omni Productions|Omni Productions dub]]. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6jE-_AfZqc Ninja Consultant!! at Youtube.com]) This would be localized in [[Shout! Factory]]'s subtitles as "[[Phase Sixer|Phase Six]] Decepticon officer".</ref> In this respect, he was something of an arch-enemy to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. They had their first encounter when Sixshot led [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Triple Changer]]s against the Autobots on Earth, trying to prevent reinforcements from reaching Cybertron. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] went to Earth, Sixshot and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] were dispatched to find out why. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Sixshot was immensely powerful and soon usurped [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] as Galvatron's bestest fwend. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} He personally guided Trypticon into battle on Earth in order to test Galvatron's [[Madmachine]] on Metroplex. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

Sixshot and Galvatron came up with a plan to steal energy from the six major nations on Earth. Using his until-then hidden ability to assume six different modes, combined with his ninja shadow powers, Sixshot would pose as a group of robots extorting energy from Earth, throwing the Autobots off-balance as he would not appear to be associated with the Decepticons. In his various modes, Sixshot made several terrorist strikes on the countries he was blackmailing. He made two vital mistakes, though: one, by not telling Scourge and Cyclonus about the plan, they recruited Trypticon to keep this "mystery robot" from muscling in on Decepticon turf. And two, he attacked Japan. Nobody attacks Japan on the [[Trainbot]]s' watch. Sixshot was swarmed with enemies in Japan, first the combiner [[Raiden]], then the misguided Decepticons leading Trypticon into the fray, and finally Chromedome and the Headmasters, who had finally recognized him as the evil ninja from Master millions of years before. All the ninja tricks in the world couldn't get Sixshot out of THAT ruckus unscathed. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

[[File:Sixshot Scorponok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Later, when Galvatron stormed Cybertron to capture the super-metal known as [[Cybertonuron]], Sixshot happened to let it slip to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] that Galvatron said he wouldn't need the Headmaster anymore once the Cybertonuron was his. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Coincidentally enough, Galvatron vanished in a huge explosion just hours later, and Scorponok assumed command of the Decepticons. He declared his new position before Sixshot, Soundblaster and the others, and began hatching evil schemes of his own. As Scorponok sent the Headmasters and Triple Changers to capture the energy-absorbing satellite [[Sol 1]], Sixshot occupied the Autobots on Earth so that they couldn't interfere. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Sixshot also coordinated Scorponok's scheme to distract the Autobots with a volcanic eruption in Peru. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

In order to keep the Autobots from interfering with Scorponok's plans on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Sixshot and Trypticon intercepted them as they left Autobot City. Sixshot used his six modes to keep the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s distracted and off-balance. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Later, he left for Chaar to attend the debut ceremony of MegaZarak, Scorponok's massive new [[Transtector]]. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}} When a mysterious UFO appeared on Earth, Sixshot was swallowed up inside its luminescent form right before Soundblaster's optics. He reappeared with the UFO on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] in the midst of a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, when it was revealed that the UFO was a starcruiser piloted by the returning Decepticon emperor, Galvatron. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

After learning the Autobots were going to stockpile large quantities of energon and send it to the needy planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], Galvatron had Sixshot coordinate a raid on the relief mission. Sixshot and his leader joined the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s and [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s (and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]) for an attack on the Trainbots before they could take off with the energon. The battle between the two forces stalemated, as the Decepticons failed to capture the energon, but also prevented the Trainbots from successfully fleeing with it. After shooting down the trains, Sixshot fought their Light-Speed Commander, [[Shouki]]. The stalemate eventually ended when the Autobots pulled back and sent the energon from their second base on [[Athenia]] instead. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[File:Hm18 negotiating with galvatron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|You were right about one thing, Motormaster. The negotiators ''were'' short.]]

Sixshot was next seen using his ninja powers to disguise himself as Galvatron for a meeting with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. While "Galvatron" pretended to entertain the notion of a joint energy generating project with the Autobots, the real Galvatron gathered his forces to strike out at energy sources elsewhere in the universe. The Autobot double agent [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] reported on the ruse to his superiors, and Sixshot was revealed. As he led the Decepticons on Earth in a retreat, Sixshot blew up the Space Bridge ring as they were departing, preventing Autobot pursuit. Furthermore, because the Space Bridge nexus was already destabilized after the destruction of Mars, the Space Bridges on Athenia and Cybertron were also destroyed thanks to Sixshot's attack. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}}

[[File:Sixshot attacking.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

As the Decepticons flew out into deep space to raid new sources of energy, Sixshot clearly distinguished himself as Galvatron's right-hand man. On [[Hive (planet)|Hive]], Galvatron only took Sixshot and the [[Horrorcon (G1)|Horrorcons]] with him to force the entire planet to surrender to the Decepticon cause. They fought their way to the palace and its energy stockpile, but were blocked at the five yard line by Chromedome and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Fight to the Death on Planet Hive!!}} On their next stop, the Decepticons attacked Sperity, the more developed of the [[Twin Star]] planets. Galvatron sent Sixshot and Soundblaster to uncover as much energon as they could, but the supply was drastically short. They could barely scrape together enough cubes to fill a room. The Decepticons learned too late that all of Sperity's people and energon had been diverted to the sister planet, Toruin. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} When the Decepticons came to [[Daros]] to stock up on "goodwill" energon from their ally, the corrupt governor, Galvatron sent out Sixshot and the Horrorcons to stall Fortress's men so that their refueling could be completed. Sixshot successfully kept the Autobot Headmasters occupied long enough for Scorponok to fill up. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} Next, on [[Paradise]], Sixshot was sent to occupy the Autobots alone while the other Decepticons gathered energy. He waged a solo Transformer assault (group) on the Battleship Maximus, challenging Fortress's massive vessel. Its weapon systems were inoperative at the time, but hey, it ''looked'' impressive. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}} The Decepticon mission continued at full pace, and they succeeded in accumulating energon on roughly half of the thirteen worlds they visited. Finally, on the [[Pirate Planet]], Sixshot welcomed their new allies, the [[Clone (subgroup)|Decepticon Clones]]. The Clones and Sixshot aided Galvatron in the search for hidden [[proton energy]] on the planet before finally starting their return journey back to Chaar. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

[[File:Sixshot modes.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|I've got nothing to lose and I've got nothing to prove, so I'll be dancing with myself.]]

Back in our galaxy, Sixshot aided Galvatron in carrying forward his ultimate plan. Sixshot cautioned his leader that Scorponok would not sit idly by while Galvatron made himself all-powerful, but Galvatron dismissed the threat of Scorponok as ultimately insignificant. As the final preparations were being made, Sixshot led an army of Horrorcons, [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s in an assault on Earth. Once the Autobot energy facility in [[Florida|Miami]] was under siege, Sixshot returned to Autobot City with Trypticon to attack Ultra Magnus while his troops were scattered dealing with other threats. Sixshot and Ultra Magnus fought in personal combat, as Sixshot made full use of his Six-Changer and ninja multiplication powers. After a tireless barrage, Sixshot unveiled his hidden seventh mode, the '''Wingwolf''', possessing the power of all his separate modes combined. The Wingwolf's assault was too much for Ultra Magnus, and he succumbed to his wounds. The enraged Autobot Headmasters arrived just in time to witness his fall, and they turned their anger on Sixshot, driving him from the murder scene. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

[[File:Sixshot grand galvatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Flush with victory, Sixshot continued the war on Earth, unleashing [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and the Horrorcons to attack five different locations at once, stretching the Autobot forces to the breaking point. He also uncovered the secret location of Scorponok, who had gone AWOL earlier during the siege of Earth. Reporting back to his commander on Chaar, Sixshot informed Galvatron of his findings. During this meeting, Galvatron unveiled his full plan for the stockpiled energon—he wanted to become another [[Unicron]], incorporating Earth itself into his body to become the planet-sized [[Grand Galvatron]]. To do so, he would require..."donations" from the finest of Transformer warriors, using them as spare parts to assemble his massive new frame with the best transforming parts available. Galvatron informed Sixshot that his own impressive transforming powers would mark him as the first warrior Galvatron would honor by disassembling.

Less than thrilled with the idea of being scrapped for Galvatron's insane ambitions, Sixshot reported to Scorponok and forged an alliance with the Headmaster leader in order to hold off his grisly fate. When Galvatron came upon them, Sixshot and Scorponok faked a scuffle until the Autobots arrived on the scene as well. Sixshot was caught up in battle with Metroplex, who was seeking revenge for the death of Ultra Magnus. Fortunately for Sixshot, the Autobot Headmasters united against Galvatron and left him buried deep beneath the icefields of Alaska. Although Sixshot and Scorponok were forced to flee, Sixshot no longer had to worry about being incorporated into the "Grand Galvatron". {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

Sixshot devoted himself to the new leader, Scorponok, and continued his efforts to upset the Autobot activity on Earth. He and Trypticon staged another attack on Autobot City, injuring Spike Witwicky in the process. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} Scorponok was soon driven off Earth after the Autobots discovered the weak point on his MegaZarak Transtector, and so the Decepticons' new target was the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. When six robots escaped Master in an attempt to warn the Autobots, Sixshot pursued them along with [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]], [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] and [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]]. They came across the Battleship Maximus in space, and Sixshot engaged the Autobot Headmasters in warfare, using his multiplication power to confuse them. Chromedome and his allies managed to hold their own, however, and the fighting continued until a massive explosion of plasma energy rocked the area. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

[[File:Sixshot kidnap.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Just... don't think of that image too much, okay?]]

In the aftermath, Sixshot found Slugslinger and his men had been fused to the Master refugees in the plasma explosion. He brought them back to Master to recuperate, and these new [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] joined Scorponok's forces for the invasion. The Decepticons were forced to modify their plans once the Battleship Maximus arrived in defense of Master. At Scorponok's command, Sixshot used his ninja powers to cast an illusion disguising him as Chromedome. He used his disguise to get close to Chromedome's friend [[Jack (G1)|Jack]] and kidnap him so that the Decepticons could learn about the [[Master Sword]] and the Headmasters' weaknesses. Sixshot tortured the poor scientist vigorously, but even [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s hypnotic powers could not compel Jack to reveal what he didn't know. With his usefulness at an end, Sixshot concocted a cruel plan for using their prisoner against the Autobots. Jack was turned into a suicide bomber, implanted with a powerful explosive and hypnotically compelled to return to the Battleship Maximus and detonate. Chromedome was forced to shoot down his own friend in order to protect the others. Enraged over the deaths of Jack, Abel, and Ultra Magnus, Chromedome launched a furious assault on Sixshot with his fellow Headmasters. Sixshot's arms were blasted completely off his body in the fight, and he was forced to flee before the vengeful Autobot finished him off. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

[[File:MasterSwordDanger Floppydisk.jpg|thumb|225px|The Autobots could really use Chip Chase right now.]]

In order to uncover the secret of the Master Sword, Sixshot had the young Autobot named Wheelie kidnapped and dangled above a pit of acid. He demanded that Fortress reveal the secrets within three hours or else Wheelie would die. Chromedome and Danny Witwicky managed to rescue Wheelie from the Decepticons, but Sixshot and his allies were able to steal the data they wanted from Fortress anyway. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} As Scorponok continued construction on his new super weapon, Sixshot led a group of Decepticons to distract Fortress Maximus, keeping him busy elsewhere while the final stages were being completed. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Eventually, the [[Zarak Shield]] was completed, and the Decepticons rose up from beneath the city center in a massive battle. Sixshot fought against Fortress's warriors and the junior soldiers Chromedome had been training. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

[[File:Sixshot Daniel Daira.jpg|thumb|left|225px|So, uh...how about that Internet? Lotta stuff on that Internet...]]

As the Decepticons made their way back towards Earth, Scorponok recklessly carried the scorpion through an asteroid field against Sixshot's warnings, causing damage to the ship. After Sixshot pointed out his lord's error, Scorponok ordered him out of the ship to attack the pursuing Battleship Maximus alone. During the battle, one of the Autobots' main cannons was jettisoned, and both it and Sixshot were swept up in a space vortex, depositing them on the planet [[Daira]] far from the battle. After reviving, Sixshot discovered Danny Witwicky had been inside the turret when it was launched. Although the boy was initially frightened, Sixshot assured Danny it was beneath him to make war on small children. As the two began to separate, a group of rock-creatures rose from the ground to attack. Sixshot defended both himself and Danny, and the two formed a cautious alliance. "Uncle" Sixshot kept Danny alive on Daira until the Autobot Headmasters arrived to rescue him. Chromedome was spoiling for a fight, but Danny insisted they leave Sixshot alone. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}}

[[File:Sixshot Juno.jpg|thumb|225px|They found my only weakness, unconvincing flame effects!]]

Despite being abandoned on the field of battle, Sixshot returned to the Decepticons and presented himself before Lord Scorponok once again for service. Scorponok's ship was still in need of repairs, and so Sixshot prepared a distraction—he challenged Chromedome to single combat on [[Juno]]. He hoped that destroying Chromedome would cripple the Headmasters' effectiveness and keep all of the Autobots busy until the scorpion could be repaired. Hours later, the duel began, and both combatants fought furiously until Danny arrived, throwing himself between them. While Sixshot denied Danny's pleas to their friendship, he also could not bring himself to shoot the boy in order to get to Chromedome. The stalemate ended abruptly with a massive explosion: Scorponok had laid a series of bombs around Juno in the hopes of eliminated both Sixshot and the Autobots. With Danny in danger, Sixshot declared the duel over. He charged Chromedome with getting the boy to safety, and saved Danny from falling into a ravine just before seemingly being consumed by a blast of lava himself. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

[[File:sixshot bye.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"For the last time kid I don't give autographs!".]]

Sixshot survived the blast, and made his way to Earth by clinging to the outside of the Battleship Maximus as it returned. By this point, Sixshot had deemed Scorponok his enemy, and was searching for a way to even their score. With his falling out with Scorponok not common knowledge, he made contact with Bruticus and the Decepticon Clones to gather information about Scorponok's current plans, and their upcoming rendez-vous at the North Pole. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} After a battle with the Autobots in Egypt, Sixshot secretly followed Scorponok back to the underwater entrance to [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]]. Seeing Sixshot, Scorponok once again tried to pretend he was overjoyed by the Ninja Commander's return. Sixshot played along long enough to learn about Scorponok's plans for the [[crysmagnetal]], and then attempted to depart. A suspicious Scorponok refused to allow him to leave and fired upon Sixshot, but only succeeded in hitting one of the ninja's holographic doubles. While at the North Pole, Sixshot intervened twice in the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, saving Danny from [[Battletrap (G1)|Battletrap]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. In the end, he swore not to return to the Decepticons, and bade Danny farewell. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

In the year 2011, [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] made plans for an all-out assault on the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. These plans, however, required that the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] successfully escape from planet [[Master (planet)|Master]] and reach [[Chaar]]. With the Decepticon Headmasters being tailed by the Autobot Headmasters, Galvatron dispatched Sixshot to ensure that his newest recruits escape their pursuers. Arriving just in time, Sixshot easily defeated the Autobot Headmasters, then angrily ordered the Decepticon Headmasters to head for Chaar so they could participate in the assault on Cybertron. His mission successful, Sixshot left the defeated Autobots to lick their wounds. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3|The Great Transformer War #3}}

====''The Headmasters'' comic====
[[File:Sixshot Soundblaster goals.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Jesse, what the hell are you talking about]]

For the sake of proving how insanely ''evil'' he was, Sixshot one day just decided to up and steal a capsule of emergency food rations from a spaceship. The Autobot Headmasters and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] attempted to stop him, but they were no match for the ninja, who vanished in a cloud of smoke.

Applauding himself as the "Devil King of Space", Sixshot then swooped down to a nearby planet to relax. Basking in the beauty of nature, Sixshot decided to share his pic-a-nic basket with all the cute and cuddly forest creatures romping and playing on and around him. Suddenly, Daniel popped up behind him, noting that he was nothing more than a big ol' softy. As it turned out, Daniel had latched onto Sixshot as he was making his escape from the Headmasters. Daniel asked Sixshot to join the Autobots since he was actually just a total poser, but Sixshot explained that he owed a ninja debt of ninja loyalty to [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and could do no such thing.

Then Daniel got shot in the arm. As the boy recovered, Sixshot recognized the group of gun-toting rednecks as [[Space Hunter]]s. Not about to let them kill all the cute animals (and Daniel), Sixshot transformed to all six of his modes, defeating the Hunters, and then to his Wingwolf mode just for the sake of overkill. With the Space Hunters fleeing, Sixshot saw to dressing Daniel's wound and then, with a speech about power, honor and loyalty (and after sending an SOS to [[Athenia]] to get Daniel a ride home), he zoomed off into space. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 4|The Headmasters #4}}

After the defeat of [[Scorponok (G1)|MegaZarak]], when all the other Decepticons were driven from the planet, Sixshot chose to blaze a new path in his life. Sixshot's next goal was to travel the galaxy and become the greatest warrior in the Universe, learning new transformations from various creatures. His first task was to stay on [[Earth]] and learn how to transform into a human being. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8|The Headmasters #8}}

Sixshot was one of the Decepticons who followed [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] to the planet [[Nebulos]] in search of the Autobots who had fled there. He acted as an air transport, part of a battalion carrying Decepticons from their spacecraft to the surface of the planet. Upon greeting Lord [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]]'s faction of Nebulans, he noted, "Strange creatures await us."

He managed to rustle up [[Pounce]], [[Wingspan]], and [[Flywheels]]. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

Sixshot took part in an attack on [[Tau-Ursa]], allowing Galvatron to pick up the last component needed for his [[Nullification Cannon]]. As a result of the attack, the Decepticons leveled the entire city. They then headed for Cybertron, where Sixshot led a group in creating a diversion. He took great delight in baiting Hot Rod, promising that he would reveal his other three alternate modes to the Autobot someday. When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] realised that the diversion was to cover Galvatron's attack on the Energon plant, Sixshot's team retreated, their job done. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

Once the [[Triple Changer]]s turned out to be a success, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] sought to create an even more impressive warrior that could transform into an unprecedented six modes. Shortly after finishing with the being he named Sixshot, Shockwave berated Blitzwing for acting out of rank, in response to which Astrotrain later suggested that Blitzwing (the first triple Changer) no longer was Shockwave's favourite. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} Shockwave's short rule was ended by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] before his project could be unveiled, and so apparently passed under Megatron's radar. While Megatron had moved his attentions to [[Earth]], Sixshot was seen examining the remains of Blitzwing at the deserted site of Shockwave's former base. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

This vehicle never transformed or showed any signs of sentience, so whether or not it was '''actually''' Sixshot is debatable.

Before the war, Sixshot attended a rally held by [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] as the Decepticon movement was gathering speed. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} When the planet subsequently plunged into all-out warfare, Sixshot distinguished himself as one of the single-most powerful Decepticons, with armature composed of metals drawn from core of a black hole and a power core consisting of a "self-regenerating [[dark matter fission cell]]" making him an untiring, unrelenting force of utter destruction. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4|Devastation #4}} At some point, he underwent the same [[ununtrium]] coating process already applied to [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] and [[Heretech]], and thus became one of the [[Warriors Elite]]. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}} [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] spoke out in fear of the power Sixshot commanded, but Megatron was not foolish, having had the six-changer fitted with a secret "off switch" that could shut him down if need be. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}} Sixshot fought alongside the other Warriors Elite in the [[Battle for Hell's Point]] {{storylink|The Gloaming}} and once commanded a [[Worldsweeper]] during the war. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}}

[[File:IDW Spotlight Sixshotshootsstuff.jpg|225px|thumb|left|Sixshot is so powerful, he defies all laws of perspective.]]

As the war moved from Cybertron to other worlds, Megatron developed a multi-phase [[infiltration protocol]] for invading and conquering other worlds. Selected to be one of three "[[Phase Sixer]]s" deployed in the final stage of the protocol to bring utter devastation to any chosen worlds, Sixshot was informed of this fact in a teleconference with Megatron and his other two choices, [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] and [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], the latter proving far less enthusiastic than Sixshot and Black Shadow about their appointment. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}}

Over time, Sixshot's lethal nature and the sheer horror of his job resulted in his being ostracized by his fellow Decepticons, leaving only the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]—a troop of Decepticon warriors who looked up to Sixshot and aspired to be a powerful as he—as the closest he could consider to friends. Although not the most ''social'' of warriors, Sixshot did miss the camaraderie of battle, and eventually became tired of his role, losing the glee he used to have and becoming bored with it all.

[[File:sixshot-devastation1a.jpg|right|260px|thumb|Trying to warn his boss that setting off this chain of events will only lead to ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]''.]]

When the Terrorcons disappeared during a mission to the planet [[Mumu-Obscura]], Sixshot set out to rescue his "friends". Discovering that they were in the clutches of a group of destructive aliens known as the [[Reaper]]s, who had razed Mumu-Obscura of all life, Sixshot was offered a proposition by their leader [[Deathbringer (IDW)|Deathbringer]]: defeat the Reapers in battle, and the Terrorcons would live. Sixshot fought valiantly, but the Reapers proved to just be toying with him, and the battle concluded when Deathbringer revealed that the entire fight had been a test of Sixshot's power—the Reapers wanted the Decepticon to join them. Although tempted by the offer of a ''cause'' to fight for instead of the degrading, dull destruction of his job, Sixshot found that he could not pass Deathbringer's final test—to kill the Terrorcons himself—and Deathbringer allowed the Decepticons to all leave alive in the hope that when they crossed paths with Sixshot again, he would be ready. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

[[File:sixshot-devastation3d.jpg|225px|thumb|left|Think the insurance company will cover those?]]

Sixshot was soon summoned to the planet Earth by Megatron after the Decepticon leader was bested in battle there by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Escalation issue 6|Escalation #6}} As Earth was presently only in phase two of infiltration protocol, Sixshot was as confused by his early deployment as the other Decepticons were worried by it, but chose not to press the issue with the furious Megatron. {{storylink|Devastation issue 1|Devastation #1}} Ordered to hunt down and destroy Optimus Prime's unit, Sixshot followed location co-ordinates relayed by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and intercepted the Autobots' ''[[Ark-19]]'', blowing it out of the sky with a single shot. {{storylink|Devastation issue 2|Devastation #2}} The craft crashed into the [[Gulf of Mexico]], and believing all aboard destroyed, Sixshot then turned his attention to [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]], [[Verity Carlo]], and [[Jimmy Pink]], who had ejected in an escape pod as the ship went down. Ratchet and his human allies got a head start when Sixshot was briefly distracted by some human fighter jets that he effortlessly destroyed, but the Decepticon soon tracked them to an ambulance pool in [[Pensacola]]. Unhindered by the local rules of engagement, Sixshot began destroying all the ambulances (in the process making himself the first Transformer witnessed by humanity at large), forcing Ratchet to reveal himself rather than cause human casualties.

[[File:sixshot-devastation3e.jpg|right|225px|thumb|Some moron brought a cougar to a party and it went berserk.]]

The chase continued with Sixshot in wolf mode, pursing Ratchet out of town and to the Gulf of Mexico's edge, where he was prevented from killing him by the emergence of the still-living crew of the ''Ark-19'' from the water {{storylink|Devastation issue 3|Devastation #3}} Shrugging off their attacks, Sixshot took on the seven-strong team of Autobots single-handedly, badly wounding [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and forcing all save Optimus Prime to escape via [[orbital jump]]. Sixshot found that the Autobot leader gave him a considerable run for his money, but he was forced to break off the fight when he was summoned back to Decepticon headquarters to deal with a more urgent threat: the Reapers had arrived on Earth! {{storylink|Devastation issue 4|Devastation #4}} {{storylink|Spotlight: Grimlock}}

[[File:sixshot-devastation5c.jpg|125px|thumb|left|Speedlines accompany Sixshot wherever he goes.]]
Engaging the Reapers in battle in [[Oregon]], Sixshot was again offered a place in the group by Deathbringer, this time with the promise that he would die if he refused: if not at the Reapers' hands, then at the hands of his own maddening isolation. Sixshot's struggle was suddenly resolved by the appearance of Starscream from the Decepticon base, challenging Sixshot to a duel to the death. His decision made for him, Sixshot changed sides, at which point Starscream activated Sixshot's "off switch", a verbal command of "Reset: pi-orion-actual-orbit. Enable." Sixshot immediately shut down and crashed. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}}

Sixshot's body was recovered by [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}} and brought to the [[Dead Universe]] scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], who repaired him but implanted a device in his brain which placed him under Jhiaxus's control. Operational again, Sixshot was deployed to the fourth moon of [[Bhul]], there to guard one of the [[Nega-Core]]s the Dead Universe Transformers required for their [[Expansion]]. Any attempt to get to the Nega-Core would've involved a vicious battle that an attacking force would lose, {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} so the Autobots snuck in through the back instead. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

[[File:Squashed Sixshot.jpg|right|upright=1.3|thumb|Dehn-dehn-'''''DEHHHHHHHHHHH!''''']]

Freed of Jhiaxus's control following the defeat of the Dead Universe crew, Sixshot traded the scientist's technology to Megatron in exchange for his freedom. At last unencumbered by the weight of his duty as a Phase Sixer and able to enthusiastically enjoy himself in his work again, Sixshot went on a snatch-and-grab mission to recover secret Autobot scientific research, sneaking into [[Orvus Base]] and killing most of the crew before they knew what hit them. The [[Throttlebot]]s were stationed there, however, and were able to escape with the data to the planet Orvus Base orbited, [[Salvvatan VIII]]. Sixshot pursued the small Autobots to a mysterious deserted city on the planet, where their fight triggered some unusual alarms, prompting a giant arm to emerge from the city and crush Sixshot. This failed to incapacitate the Decepticon, so the city—in actuality, [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]—completed its transformation and stomped on Sixshot, successfully putting him out of commission. {{storylink|Spotlight: Metroplex}}

Sixshot soon came back online and attacked the remaining Throttlebots as they tried to leave Salvvatan VIII, damaging their shuttle and forcing them to crash land on [[Regalis V]]. However, Sixshot was somehow repelled and [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]] believed that they managed to kill the Six-Changer. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}}

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, Sixshot and several other Decepticons were waiting for them! Sixshot and the others quickly fell into disarray, unfortunately, when their leader [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] was singled out and defeated. {{storylink|The Fierce Fighting on Planet Nebulos}}

[[File:TheCracksBeneathYourFeetPart5 SixshotCarMode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.0|This one scene is to make up for not using his car mode at all in the [[2005 IDW continuity|previous continuity]].]]
Sixshot was well-known and feared as a "solo assault team", having completed many dangerous missions during the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part One}} He became one of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s top lieutenants in [[The Rise]] and was forced to evacuate a Rise base under the [[Memorial Crater]] after it had been discovered by Autobot security forces. After harshly disciplining his overeager subordinate [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]] for drawing the attention of [[Security Operations]], Sixshot ordered her and [[Shadow Striker (G1)|Shadow Striker]] to destroy the base and eliminate witnesses in order to protect The Rise's secrets. As Shadow Striker set explosives within and Flamewar went topside to deal with any Autobots above, Sixshot went to intercept [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] after they had entered. While he got the drop on and pinned down Chromia, Sixshot was run-through from behind by Windblade's sword and forced to retreat after hearing Shadow Striker announce that the base would soon explode. He transformed to jet mode and retreated alongside his subordinates just before the detonation. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}}

Sixshot, along with [[Whisper (G1)|Visper]] and [[Storm Cloud (G1)|Storm Cloud]], were sent to extract [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]] from the [[Ascenticon Guard]]'s headquarters. Sixshot, still smarting from the wound Windblade gave him, used his armored car mode to breach one of the fortress' gates and came into conflict with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], who tried to prevent them from absconding with Barricade. After defeating the little 'bot with some inside help from [[Flywheels|Skytread]], Sixshot and the others accomplished their mission. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] visited The Rise's remote base in the badlands, he ordered the entire place to be put on lockdown and everyone but Shockwave, Sixshot, and [[Slipstream (G1)|Slipstream]] to stay in their quarters until further notice. Sixshot and his fellow lieutenant Slipstream were ordered by Megatron to stand and watch as he brutally beat Shockwave to the brink of death, simply to establish his utter authority over The Rise. Sixshot and Slipstream had no qualms over Megatron's assertion of dominance. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

[[File:Tremors SixshotRumbleFrenzy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Wolf-taicho!]]
The shift in power seemed to leave the Rise's hierarchy confused, however. Sixshot came to Shockwave to complain about [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] requisitioning his troops for a mission to Iacon, only to learn Shockwave had no knowledge of the mission. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} Learning that Security was closing in on them, Sixshot informed the in-hiding [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] that they were being transported away and they'd better not make any more trouble for him. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}} Unfortunately, the two were stranded in the wilderness along with some other "problematic" Risers after [[Roughstuff|their transport]] crashed. Sixshot was forced to go to the group's aid personally and found them under attack by [[Firestar (G1)|Novastar]]'s strike team. Upon arriving on the scene, he used his wolf mode to take down [[Blades (G1)|Blades]]. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Tremors|Tremors}}

Sixshot stunned Novastar, [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] with a handful of homing grenades and stopped Windblade from impaling him again with her sword. When the massive [[Leviathan (G1)|Leviathan]] arrived on the battlefield and pinned Quake to the ground, Sixshot knew it was time to cut losses, jetting off with Frenzy and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] in tow. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Prisoners|Prisoners}}

[[File:WarWorldHunt SixshotVCyclonus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.6|Let's just...overdose on chill pills for a moment, okay?]]
After the Rise was absorbed into the Ascenticons and the entire movement rebranded as the [[Decepticon]]s, rumors began to circulate that Megatron was planning on having Sixshot become the new leader of the former Ascenticon Guard. {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}} Megatron unveiled Sixshot as such during a staged interview with [[Andromeda (G1)|Andromeda]] that was broadcast across [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], seeking justice for Sixshot's earlier desecration of the Memorial Crater, infiltrated [[Decepticon Headquarters (G1 Cybertron)|Decepticon HQ]] and confronted him. Sixshot had no desire to fight his former comrade, but after it became apparent Cyclonus was out for blood, the two engaged in a brief but intense combat. Sixshot managed to halt the fight when he told Cyclonus that the [[Autobot]]s had released [[Pyra Magna]] from prison. A greater grudge now having overtaken his current one, Cyclonus stood down and Sixshot promised to do his best to get him in a position to kill Pyra Magna. {{storylink|War World: Hunt|Hunt}}

Sixshot watched Megatron rage after learning the Autobots had abandoned Iacon. {{storylink|War World: We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness|We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness}} Once he learned Megatron planned on assigning [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] a significant new position in the hierarchy, Sixshot raised concerns about the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]'s true loyalties, prompting Megatron to give the job to [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|I Have No Mouth And I Must Starscream}} After [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] reopened [[Swindle's|his casino]], Sixshot inspected the joint and watched a wrestling match between [[Crasher (G1)|Crasher]] and [[Tentakil (G1)|Tentakil]]. Sixshot tentatively allowed the place to remain open as long as Swindle exclusively catered to Decepticons. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Swindle's II|Swindle's II}}

[[File:SeaOfRustII SixshotLeadsGuard.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.9]]
When [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] returned to Cybertron and met with Megatron, Sixshot pulled a gun on the former [[Exarchon]] loyalist and expressed extreme distrust of him. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} After [[Termagax]] had been located out by the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], Sixshot fielded the entire Decepticon Guard to take the [[Enigma of Combination]] from her, finding that the Autobots had arrived there first. Sixshot exchanged some threatening words with Skytread, who was still bitter over losing his job as head of the Guard, before sending the [[Rainmaker]]s out ahead to soften up the enemy. Unexpectedly, the Autobots had prepared for this and shot the Rainmakers down en route. Sixshot had little patience for Skytread's snark about the situation, slapping his subordinate and ordering the Decepticons to advance. Transforming to his wolf mode, Sixshot leaped into the fray as the battle began in earnest. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II|Sea of Rust II}}

[[File:Enigmatic SixshotLeadsRetreat.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.7]]
After Termagax deployed her horde of [[spectrosynth drone]]s onto the battlefield, Sixshot grew frustrated and ordered the [[Battlecharger]]s to clear a path for him through them so he had an open run at [[House (building)|Termagax's home]]. He was intercepted along the way by Skywarp, who [[teleportation|teleported]] inside to retrieve the Enigma of Combination himself. After Skywarp snagged the artifact, he was engaged in a teleport skirmish with [[Jumpstream]], and Sixshot transformed to jet mode to follow them as they popped in-and-out around the battlefield. Sixshot backed off when he saw [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] come up from behind and bite down on Skywarp, forcing the teleporter to drop the Enigma. It fell to the ground in front of Skytread, who snatched it up as Sixshot landed to confront him. Skytread smugly ventured that he could use the Enigma to take back his position of authority from Sixshot, but Sixshot simply shot his predecessor in the chest. At that moment, seismic activity caused the cliff that Skytread was at the edge of to collapse, and he fell into the Sea of Rust with the Enigma. Hungry [[rust worm]]s began to devour Skytread as he begged for help, but Sixshot was unable to retrieve the Enigma as it and Skytread's remains were pulled under the surface. With the artifact lost for now, Sixshot ordered a Decepticon retreat. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

[[File:DarknessOnceGazedUponPart3 DecepticonGuard.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|''HEEEEERE'S'' SHOTY!!!]]
After [[Team Stream]] managed to capture [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Sixshot was there when the prisoner was presented before Megatron. Still holding a grudge against him, Flamewar tried to intimidate Sixshot, but only left him confused by her half-baked threat. Later, when Ultra Magnus was freed from captivity by a strike team of Autobots, Sixshot received intelligence that they had holed up in Swindle's and took a squad of Decepticons to corner them in the building. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Two}} A fight broke out after the Decepticons breached the door and Sixshot transformed to wolf mode to attack Ultra Magnus. Magnus slammed him into his own troops and the Autobots managed to escape by bringing some of the building down around everyone. Roughstuff brought Swindle to an infuriated Sixshot to answer for the debacle, and Sixshot grudgingly accepted Roughstuff's return to the Decepticons. Sixshot let Swindle off with a warning, but everyone's attention was soon drawn to [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]' dragon mode erupting out of the remains of the building, his body now home to the resurgent [[Exarchon]]! {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Three}}

Sixshot subsequently returned to Decepticon Headquarters. When he found Cyclonus punching his way past [[Roughstuff]] and [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]], Sixshot demanded an explanation, Cyclonus warning that Exarchon had returned. Feeling that the Threefold Spark's return explained the recent disappearances, Sixshot brought Cyclonus before Megatron to repeat the warnings, ones that the Decepticon leader was disinclined to believe. {{storylink|War's End Part One}}

[[File:WarsEndPartFour SixshotVBrawl.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.8|''Maul Brawl: Volume 2'']]
When more warnings about Exarchon came, Megatron agreed to work with the Autobots to defeat the Threefold Spark, sending Sixshot and a team to Exarchon's hideout in the [[Sonic Canyons]]. After his forces shot down some [[Skywarp drone]]s, Sixshot made a dramatic touchdown, finding that the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] had joined with Exarchon before engaging [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] in combat. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} After the [[Companion]]s arrived on the scene and [[Jumpstream]] informed everyone that [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] was inbound, Sixshot pulled his forces back and regrouped outside Exarchon's base. He and [[Pyra Magna]] agreed to work together to combat Exarchon, despite the tensions between Autobots and Decepticons, and began to formulate a plan of attack that took Devastator's presence into account. {{storylink|War's End Part Three}}

[[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], [[Sparkstalker]], and [[Bitstream (G1)|Bitstream]] soon arrived on the scene with a plan to seal Exarchon inside a booby-trapped [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[spark]] cage. The plan was agreed to despite Pyra Magna's objections, and soon the Autobots and Decepticons launched another attack on Exarchon's base. Sixshot took on the Combaticons again and was wounded by [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]], but ultimately Exarchon's spark was trapped inside the Titanspark cage by Mindwipe and Cyclonus. When Sixshot picked the cage up to return it to Iacon, Pyra Magna suddenly destroyed it, unwilling to let Exarchon live or Megatron get his hands on such a dangerous object. Gathering the weakened [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] as a consolation prize, Sixshot warned Pyra Magna not to push her luck at the moment by starting another fight. He then ordered Cyclonus to return with the Decepticons, but the old warrior refused. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}}

[[File:FateofCybertron-Megatronattacks.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.7]]
The Decepticon forces regrouped, and Sixshot escorted the Constructicons to Megatron. The entire Decepticon army massed to attack [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] and Sixshot joined in on a concentrated assault on [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], who tried to buy enough time for the Autobots to flee the planet aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Computron fell, but the Autobots succeeded in escaping, leaving Sixshot and the Decepticons lingering behind in the aftermath of an uncertain victory. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

*'''Sixshot''' ([[1987]], [[1988]], [[2002]])
**''Takara ID number:'' '''D-98'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "[[concussion weapon|hypersonic concussion blasters]]"
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Unprecedented in his time, ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Sixshot transforms into six distinct modes: robot, "ramming-tank", "starfighter", "jet-propelled laser pistol", "armored carrier", and "wolf-creature". Each mode features its own dedicated parts, including a springing trigger for his gun mode. Sixshot is a complete [[Brick (term)|brick]], with articulation only in his shoulders… which are hindered by his chest wings, if one wants to display him accurately.

:Evidently not thinking that six was enough, the production staff of ''The Headmasters'' cartoon and comic series created an absurd seventh mode called the "Wingwolf Mode", by fiddling around with the toy, placing it in a mid-transformation form that combines various portions of its different modes in one. There are two "official" configurations for the Wingwolf Mode that can be replicated with the G1 toy: the first is the way the G1 toy is often depicted in in several pieces of Japanese media displaying the seventh mode (which is the configuration displayed in the image to the right); the other is the way it was ''actually'' depicted in ''The Headmasters'' cartoon and comic, which leaves the legs completely straight, rather than bent at the knees. Clearer examples of both of these configurations can be found [https://www.angelfire.com/ny5/reminator2/HTML/g1decept/sixshot.htm here.]

:Highlighting his landmark number of modes, Sixshot's instructions were sealed by a sticker, challenging the owner to figure out all the toy's modes without help. While not too hard with the packaging photos to help, the photos on the back of the box and the instructions themselves (and this wiki, right) actually managed to get the car mode wrong, neglecting to include the additional rotation of the arms necessary to complete it. There is also a pair of extra holes inside Sixshot's legs into which his "hypersonic concussion blasters" can fit. Concept art shows this was the intended location for the weapons in gun mode, but the instructions and stock photos place them on the outside of the legs, in the same position as tank mode, which in turn was how the gun mode appeared in Sixshot's character models for his fictional appearances.

: Sixshot was not released in the UK, although Quickswitch would see a release the following year. Sixshot was also released as part of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' toyline a year after the ''Headmasters'' line, despite not appearing in the series itself. The toy was later [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] in Japan in 2002 without changes, in a reproduction of his original packaging.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make [[Greatshot#Toys|Greatshot]], which was later used as the basis for the non-''Transformers'' series character Shadowmaru (see "[[#Notes|Notes]]"). It also partially inspired the comic-only characters [[Greatsix]] and [[Agonizer]].

:Released in the ''Victory'' portion of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Victory|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' toyline, [[Greatshot#Toys|Greatshot]] is a [[retool]] of Sixshot with several completely new parts, including his shoulders, chestplate, and both his robot and animal-mode heads. Like Sixshot, he has six different modes: a robot, a tank, a spaceship, a gun, an off-road vehicle, and a winged rhinoceros (retooled from Sixshot's wolf mode). Each of these modes has their own functionality, including things like a trigger (that is, a little plastic panel that springs back after you pull on it) for his gun mode. His two guns—retooled to have slightly longer handles than Sixshot's—fit into different holes in every mode.

:As with Sixshot, Greatshot's [[robot mode]] is mostly a [[Brick (term)|brick]], with no real [[articulation]] to speak of. Also like Sixshot, [[fan mode|a fan-made seventh "Wingwolf Mode"-like configuration]] can be achieved with Greatshot, though this hasn't been used in any official capacity.

: When Sixshot was reissued, this special clear-colorless-plastic version of the toy (representing how the character was depicted while using his invisibility powers in ''The Headmasters'') was the prize in a contest held in the April 2002 issue of ''[[Hyper Hobby Magazine]]'' in Japan. Only 10 clear Sixshot Stealth Modes were awarded, making it one of the rarest Transformers toys in existence.

*'''Sixshot''' (reissue, [[2012]])
**''Accessories:'' 2 "hypersonic concussion blasters"

:Initially promoted—incorrectly, by all appearances—as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues, this edition of Sixshot was eventually released not as part of that line, but as a high-end Asian exclusive first available at the "{{w|Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong}}" convention in July 2012. Coming in grandiose embossed leather "book-box" packaging, this version of the figure comes with all his stickers now pre-applied, with some of those stickers having a darker and shinier lustrous appearance than the original. The toy features a chromed teal chest, metallic red paint on his robot and wolf mode eyes, metallic silver paint on his tank treads, and silver chrome on his weapons as well as on… er… those nipple-things on his chest.
:Early specimens included a [[collector coin]] contained in a card wallet. This wallet featured a silhouetted version of a piece of unlicensed Sixshot art created by fan artist [http://blitz-wing.deviantart.com/art/SixShot-262922241 Blitz-Wing] and used without the artist's permission. Oo-er.
:This figure was released in massive quantities in [[South Korea]]'s E-mart (local counterpart to [[Walmart]]) and heavily shelfwarmed, with prices dropping to 15000 KRW ($12) and lower.

===''Titans Return''===
[[File:TitansReturnSixshot6Modes.jpg|thumb|upright=2|$45 and a Six Shot to my name. Spent the rest on bots so who's to blame? They say I'm changed up all the time. What they do is a waste of time.]]
*'''Decepticon Revolver & Six Shot''' (Leader Class, [[2016]])
**''Accessories:'' '[[Revolver#Toys|Revolver]]' Titan Master partner, 2 hypersonic concussion blasters
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' "Six Shot" is a Leader Class mold, transforming between six different modes: robot, tank, car, jet, beast, and <s>upside-down laser gun</s> submarine. The car mode has seating for two Titan Master figures, though they don't stay in very well. The tank mode has a flip-open cockpit with seating for one.

:In a cute touch, his Titan Master's head mode has a headband with the kanji for "six" (六 ''roku'') on it, as a nod to Six Shot's Japanese ninja personality. In a rather twisted touch, said Titan Master is based on [[Jack (G1)|Jack]] from ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'', who ended up brutally killed thanks to Sixshot!

:Like all ''Titans Return'' Leader Class figures (sans [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blaster]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]]), he does ''not'' need to have his head removed to transform. His wolf mode still needs Revolver removed to fill a gap in the wolf head for aesthetic purposes, but in all the other modes you can just leave Revolver in the helmet with no problem. ''Unlike'' other Leader Class figures in this line, Six Shot does not have an (official) base mode. However, his wings have clips on the edges that allow him to connect to other Leader Class figures' base modes when in certain modes; his instructions suggest the tank mode.

:He is ''very'' similar to his original toy in appearance and transformation. However, due to changes in the way the legs transform, a conversion to "Wingwolf Mode" based on the conversion often depicted in Japanese promotional media is not ''entirely'' possible, as parts can't be tabbed together in this orientation, leaving everything to just loosely sit in place. The figure can, however, get pretty close to ''The Headmasters'' cartoon and comic depictions using the tabs on the legs used for the other modes. The ''Legends'' redeco of this toy listed below, also featured its own unique interpretation of the Wingwolf Mode in the [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 50|pack-in comic]] printed in the [[instructions]], and as this uses that same mold, this can also be replicated with the ''Titans Return'' toy. In an undocumented feature, Six Shot's blasters can be pegged onto his back.

:Many copies of Six Shot have been reported to have ''very'' loose joints. Notably, these include the shoulders, hips and knees, all of which use simple pinned hinge joints or swivels rather than [[ball joint]]s or [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchets]]. In some cases, said loose joints prevent Six Shot from holding any pose beyond a simple "standing in place". His faceplate and fins are completely painted, and can chip due to transformation. Six Shot also features ankle-tilts… though, they only have three detents in the joint, meaning the ankles lock at the standard straight-up-and-down, 45° degrees, and 90° degrees, making them rather useless as they can't be used for posing in any meaningful way.

:Six Shot was redecoed (with a new faceplate) into [[Quickswitch#Titans Return|Quickswitch]], and more extensively remolded into [[Greatshot#Legends|Greatshot]]. The original tooling also serves as the basis for ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Sixshot (SG)|Sixshot]].

*'''Sixshot''' ([[November 25]], [[2017]])
**''ID number'': '''LG50'''
**''Accessories:'' Headmaster, 2 guns

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Sixshot is a redeco and retool of the above ''Titans Return'' figure colored to be closer to his appearance in ''The Headmasters'', with changes including a bluer shade of turquoise and white thighs. Instead of Revolver, he comes with a new mold Headmaster designed to look like a tiny Sixshot. This small module transforms into a face based directly on his cartoon appearance, and the helmet has been retooled to match. An added retool is the inclusion of two tiny pegs on his knees located on the outer sides that somewhat allows the knees to lock into place.

:As mentioned above in the ''Titans Return'' listing, the [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 50|pack-in comic]] printed in the instructions also depicts a new variant of the "Wingwolf Mode" that can be replicated with the figure, thanks to [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s artwork being based on the toy itself.

:Unlike most other ''Legends'' figures, Sixshot comes in windowless packaging, with the extra space used to further advertise his six modes.

:The only [[Transformers Legends (franchise)|''Legends'']] figure made for a ''Victory'' character, Greatshot is an extensive redeco/retool of ''Titans Return'' Leader Class figure above, with some new parts including the bigger chest wings and the rhino head. While ''Legends'' Sixshot's Headmaster is a new mold decoed like a miniature Sixshot, Greatshot's Headmaster, [[Jack (G1)|Jack]], is a retool of ''Titans Return'' [[Revolver#Toys|Revolver]], albeit in different colors and with a new robot mode backpack for head mode faceplate. Like ''Legends'' Sixshot, he comes in a fully enclosed box featuring his different modes.

:Greatshot was a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] [[exclusive]]. He was available for pre-order on [[October 11]] at 12:00 am until [[November 2]] at 1 pm, and was shipped in late March 2018.

==Notes==
[[File:BraveShadowmaruKagerouModels.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Go ninjas, go ninjas, go! Shadowmaru is on the left.]]
*Sixshot's appearance in "The Rebirth" is an extreme case of [[To sell toys|marketing influencing the fiction]], as he shows off his [[Six Changer|six modes]] and how cool and badass he is in the space of approximately 30 seconds. He is never seen again, not even in the background, and only had one spoken line. He probably holds the record for briefest presence in the G1 cartoon of any contemporary toy-based character.
*For a while, there was much [[fandom]] speculation that [[Greatshot]] was an upgraded version of Sixshot. The supplemental character [[bio]] included with Greatshot's toy stated that he was a former compatriot of both Sixshot and [[Sixknight]], who in turn were all members of the "[[Six Clan]]" from the hidden regions of the galaxy. Regardless, they both had the [[Michihiro Ikemizu|same actor]], who voiced them both with a stereotypical {{w|samurai}} movie dialect. The belief that the two were the same would eventually [[Canonizing|be made canon]] in [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Greatshot)|Greatshot's ''Legends'' pack-in comic]], where the cartoon version of Greatshot was presented as Sixshot in a new body.
*According to a profile published in ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'', Sixshot owns the [[Matrix of Evil]] in Japanese Generation 1 continuity. What that ''is'' or what it does, we couldn't tell you, as this is the only place it's ever mentioned.
*The Sixshot (or, more accurately, Greatshot) mold was later retooled to make the heroic "Ninja Detective" '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLYgYX7IxLA Shadowmaru]''' (シャドウ丸) for Takara's ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]] Police J-Decker'' toyline. Amusingly, while the other 5 forms are of standard size for the series (assuming 5 meters in robot mode), his size for gun mode [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tRBr-FZZ0k was increased] to the point that, in ''Transformers'' terms, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] could use him for an oversized rifle. Shadowmaru also had a prototype "brother", '''Kagerō''' (カゲロウ), who could only change into three forms. He was not produced as a toy.
*An original Sixshot toy head was used as part of the hand-made prototype of the ''Generation 2''-era [[unproduced G.I. Joe Transformer]].
*Sixshot changes sizes often in IDW's ''Devastation'' mini-series. Sometimes he is shown being the size of a normal Transformer, but other times he is depicted as being about the size of a gestalt.
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' manga, Sixshot is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Soundwave]] helmet as well as some manner of gun accessory and wing-like pieces on his back, but his ''tiiiny'' appearance in the comic makes it difficult to tell what they are.
*The naming similarity between "Sixshot" and "Greatshot" was later paralleled by [[Quickswitch]] with [[Hexadeathimal|Killswitch]].

A loner, the ninja-like '''Greatshot''' (グレートショット ''Gurētoshotto'') took a while to become an Autobot team player. Of course, even after he did, he still prefers to do things his own way.

Greatshot's six modes, ranging from robot to rhino, make him one of the most lethal warriors the Autobots have.

While ''Legends'' Sixshot's Headmaster is a new mold decoed like a miniature Sixshot, Greatshot's Headmaster, [[Jack (G1)|Jack]], is a retool of ''Titans Return'' [[Revolver]], albeit in different colors and with a new robot mode backpack for head mode faceplate.

:This figure's packaging and instructions continue to label what is clearly an upside-down laser gun mode as a submarine. Being a retool of ''Titans Return'' Six Shot, Greatshot is very likely to inherit the mold's notoriously loose joints, as they are simple pinned hinge joints or swivels. Unlike with other versions of the mold, the Headmaster ''must'' be removed for transformation, as the horns of the figure's new helmet have to be folded into the space otherwise occupied by the Headmaster, so that it can fit into the figure's chest.

The-Last-Autobot:

Speaking of notes:

Real and movie continuity dates:

Transformers 1 = 2007. "Present day".

ROTF (2009), it is said in the movie that it takes place 2 years later. So it fits with the date it was released.

Dotm (2011), it is said is 3 years later from ROTF (So is one year off).

AOE (2014), it is said "5 years after the battle of Chicago" (So 2 years off).

TLK (2017), "5 years have passed since the battle of Hong Kong" (Again 2 years off with the film release).

So, are we even sure the last 3 films are in the "present"????. Adding all up, TLK would be -in film continuity- in 2022. So in 2022 Stephen Hawking is definitely dead.

Or just another plothole. Or Tfs1 was really set before 2007 movie-time.

Dotm (2011), it is said is 3 years later from ROTF (So is one year off).

AOE (2014), it is said "5 years after the battle of Chicago" (so 2 years off).

TLK (2017), "5 years have passed since the battle of Hong Kong" (again 2 years off with the film release).

So are we even sure the last 3 films are in the "present". Adding all up, TLK would be -in film continuity- in 2022. So in 2022 Stephen Hawking is definitely dead.

Or just another plothole. Or Tfs1 was really set before 2007 movie-time.

Speaking of notes:

A couple real and movie continuity dates:

Transformers 1 = 2007. "Present day"
ROTF (2009), it is said in the movie that it takes place 2 years later. So it fits with the date it was released.
Dotm (2011), it is said is 3 years later from ROTF (So is one year off).
AOE (2014), it is said "5 years after the battle of Chicago" (so 2 years off).
TLK (2017), "5 years have passed since the battle of Hong Kong" (again 2 years off with the film release).

'''Omega Supreme defends the Ark while the Autobots invade the Decepticons' base.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:OmegaSupremeintro.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Megatron's carefully laid plans come to fruition.]]
Outside the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] presents to the [[Autobot]]s their newest member, the titanic [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. With his completion, the [[Autobot]]s are free to mount a raid on the [[Wyoming base|Decepticon base]] in order to steal the technology required to create [[Combiner|combining robots]]. While nearly the entire Autobot force goes on the mission, Omega Supreme is left behind to guard the Ark.

Still bickering with his temporary co-leader [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] takes most of his original crew to greet the Decepticons of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], who are anticipated to be arriving shortly via the [[space bridge]].

During their journey to the Decepticon base, [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] runs afoul of [[Jake Dalrymple|a human driving an expensive Lamborghini]], but Prime orders him to continue on. The Autobots arrive at the Decepticons' base and attack.

Megatron, meanwhile, finds that a group of Autobots has crossed the bridge instead of Decepticons; but before he can lead an attack, Shockwave radios him about the Autobot attack at their base. Megatron tries to take advantage of the situation by attacking the Ark, but his squad is soundly defeated by Omega Supreme, with only Megatron and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] escaping.

At the Decepticon base, [[Donny Finkleberg]] takes advantage of the battle to attempt an escape. When Shockwave sends [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] against the Autobots, they gain the information they were looking for, and retreat. As the Autobots leave, the Lamborghini driver cuts Skids off, allowing [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]] to blast Skids with one of his missiles.

The battered Megatron returns, and though Shockwave accuses him of gross incompetence, Megatron reasons that Shockwave sat and did nothing while a trap—an attack that surely had an ulterior motive—sprang up around him. Shockwave cedes command in the face of Megatron's sound argument.

The Autobots are enthusiastic at their victory, but Optimus Prime cannot celebrate, as Skids is presumed dead. But back in Wyoming, music is still streaming from his wrecked form...

==Quotes==
"Should I try again to persuade him?" 
"No. Megatron is our commander. He has made his decision and must live by it... or, perhaps, '''die''' by it."
:—'''Soundwave''' and '''Shockwave'''

"'''''Prepare to meet your manufacturer, Decepticons!"''''' 
"Wh-who are you?!" 
"'''''I am the guardian of the gates... the junction of your destruction... the laser lighting the way to your doom... the planner of your obsolescence... the furnace that fires your demise... I am the number you cannot compute, Decepticon."'''''
:—'''Omega Supreme''' introduces himself to '''Megatron'''

"I will now allow you a few moments to beg for your life before I execute you for gross incompetence." 
"'''Beg?''' It is '''you''' who should beg '''me''', Shockwave -- for my '''forgiveness!''' If I am to be faulted for running into a trap, consider this -- you sat here and watched as a trap '''sprang up around you!'''"
:—'''Shockwave''' vs. '''Megatron''' in a war of words

"As for the Decepticons lost today, they mean '''nothing!''' They can be '''replaced!'''"
:—'''Megatron''' sure knows how to inspire loyalty

==Notes==
===Artwork and technical errors===
*Skywarp has blue trim instead of purple on the cover.
*Page 6: The Autobots are shown driving six abreast down the streets of a Wyoming town.
*Page 7: Jake's car is drawn as a Lamborghini Countach (also [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Lamborghini Countach|popular with many Transformers]]), but the doors are hinged like normal car doors. On a real Countach they should open vertically, scissor-style.
*Page 10: In Blaster's lone panel appearance, he's colored like Optimus Prime.
*Page 17:
**Starscream and Thundercracker are both colored in blue-highlighted blacks when they are destroyed by Omega Supreme.
**Laserbeak is colored as Buzzsaw when Omega Supreme wings him.
*Page 21: Laserbeak is incredibly fat as he perches on Shockwave's arm.

===Continuity errors===
*The army guard still has his gun on Jake when Skids shows up and Jake flags him down. In all likelihood, Jake would have been shot.

===Continuity notes===
*Grapple began work on Omega Supreme in US issue [[Rock and Roll-Out!|#14]].
*Mirage and Bluestreak are curiously absent. Optimus Prime's dialog seems to indicate that all the available Autobots would be participating in the attack; Ratchet, meanwhile, says he has ''over'' a dozen Autobots in the repair bay - previously, he had only the ''dozen'' that participated in the disastrous battle back in #12.
*Megatron finally retakes command of the Decepticons from Shockwave after losing it back in US issue [[The New Order|#5]].
*Skids sees a human washing his car and notes that "that looks like a pleasant way to pass the day" - foreshadowing next issue's events.
*Likewise, the Autobots stealing the secrets of combination sets up the creation of the Aerialbots, who will debut in #21.
*Laserbeak changes his perch from Shockwave to Megatron, signifying who's the leader!
*Omega's size and power will never again equal his awesome display of badassery in this issue.
*Most of the 1984 Decepticons are taken out of the picture, and will not be seen online again until issue #47 (in the US, anyway). This marks Rumble and Frenzy's last on-panel appearance altogether.

===Real-life references===
*The usual settings: the Ark is in rural [[Oregon]]; the Decepticon base is in the [[Powder River Basin]] of [[Wyoming]].

===UK printing===
[[File:MarvelUS19vsUK70DinobotDialogueChange.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|right|Once again, US Grimlock has clearly demonstrated how unfit he is to lead the Dinobots.]]
*Dialogue in the UK version has been altered from the US version:
**In the US version, Grimlock says, "Bah! You are a coward, Optimus Prime. You do not fight!" and then "Dinobots understand we are warriors—but because you say we would stand out among humans we never go to war! Now you tell us to go to war but not to fight! Commander who attacks to run away cannot command Dinobots!" In the UK version, this is replaced with "Enough talk. When do we get to hit something?" and then "Oh, we understand, all right. Once again, you've clearly demonstrated how unfit you are to lead the Dinobots. We'll have no part in this fool's errand. Back to the Ark, Dinobots. We've got some talking to do..." The US dialogue appears to be an explanation for why the Dinobots haven't been around for a while. Apparently, the UK comic staff thought this explanation would be somewhat out of continuity with the UK comic, since the Dinobots had been featured heavily in several UK-exclusive stories, where they spent their time [[The Wrath of Guardian!|fighting Guardian]], [[Dinobot Hunt!|going nuts]] [[Victory!|and falling into comas]] (among [[The Icarus Theory|other things]]).
**Additionally, as far as the US was concerned, this was the issue in which the Dinobots chose to secede from the Autobots, going off on their own and not reappearing until [[King of the Hill!|seven issues later]]. In the UK, however, they did ''not'' leave yet, choosing only to do so in the [[In the National Interest|next UK-exclusive story]], and this change in dialogue also reflects that.
**In the US version of the dialogue, Grimlock talks like cartoon Grimlock, whereas in the UK version of the dialogue, he does not (consistent with how he talks in the previous UK-exclusive Dinobot stories).
'''Issue #70:'''
*'''Back-up strips:''' ''[[Back-up strips#Hercules|Hercules]]'' - "What Fools These Immortals Be!" and ''[[Robo-Capers]]''
*'''[[Fact File|Fact File Interface]]:''' [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]
*This was the first appearance of the Hercules strip.
'''Issue #71:'''
*'''Back-up strips:''' ''Hercules'' - "What Fools These Immortals Be!" and ''Robo-Capers''
*'''Fact File Interface:''' [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]]

===Other trivia===

===Bot Roster===
*Autobots: 10 confirmed active after Omega Supreme comes online, Bluestreak and Mirage disappear, and Skids is lost in battle; 5 rogue Dinobots, 7 wayward arrivals from Cybertron, 14(?) in repair bay, and Skids left abandoned. (36 total)
*Decepticons: 11 active; 6 trashed by Omega and held captive in the Ark. (17 total)

===Changes in the IDW ''Transformers Classics'' reprint===
*On page 1, Optimus Prime's facemask is now miscoloured yellow.
*Again on page 1, the printing (or color separations) error that made Grapple's gun hand green instead of blue (a mixing of the blue and orange) has been corrected by just making his gun hand orange.
*On page 3, panel 3 Swoop's white hi-lights are removed, giving him grey eyes and teeth.
*On page 3, panel 5 the purple under Skids' neck is missing, giving him the impression of being a head floating behind Optimus Prime.
*On page 10, panel 3 Blaster's colors are corrected from an Optimus Prime look to his appropriate colors.
*On page 14, panel 4 Ravage loses his eyes to a new colouring error.
