Fiction

[edit]

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

Doomshot was a Cyberdroid colonist from the planet Rebirth, seven million years removed from Cybertron. He opposed the ruling Optimus triumvirate and formed the Malignus with his partner, Clench, Doomshot's drive providing a counterpoint to Clench's cynicism. However, their peaceful protests were driven underground by Optimus tyranny, leading to outright rebellion.

When the Decepticons arrived on the planet, the Malignus saw them as liberators. Nucleon convinced the Malignus leadership to bond with Galvatron, forming the first Triple-Threat Master, a combination of Head-, Target-, and Powermaster, with Doomshot providing the Headmaster portion. Rebirth was renamed "Master" under Galvatron's iron fist, until the Decepticon leader and his partners challenged the Human Confederacy.

After the war, Doomshot was sentenced to indefinite incarceration alongside his fellow Master partners. A Brush With Infamy–Prologue

However, the Builder Assembly eventually found they didn't have the resources to continue holding them. Doomshot and his colleagues were released. Nucleon tried to get in contact with Doomshot, but he had migrated halfway across the planet and was dealing with his own adventures.

Some time later, during the Grand Uprising, Doomshot and Krunix were assembled by a clone of Galvatron. Together, they traveled to Fort Scyk to recruit Nucleon to their cause. Not All Megatrons Shortly afterwards, the Beast Upgrade appeared on Cybertron, and together with his cyberdroid compatriots Doomshot helped Galvatron acquire a new beast mode. However, this also meant Galvatron's tolerance for his diminutive assistants became increasingly strained.

And then the Vehicon Apocalypse happened. Fortunately, due to a shared origin via the G-Virus, Galvatron was immune to the horde's conversion process, which protected Doomshot and the others. When the Vehicons turned on their Builder masters, Galvatron witnessed the Darksyders accomplish the supposedly impossible and hack the Vehicons. Inspired, he ordered the trio to grab some Vehicons for themselves. Derailment

The trio succeeded, acquiring a Tank Drone, Aero Drone and Cycle Drone, which they then spirited to Galvatron's secret base in the Rad Zone, where he spent a decacycle tinkering on them. In order to prevent anyone else acquiring control over his new generals, Galvatron decided to give them Sparks, and with Doomshot having long outlived any other usefulness, his Spark was extracted along with the others.

Doomshot is one of forty-six double sided character cards included in Wave 5 of the Transformers Trading Card Game, Titan Masters Attack. As a Titan Master, Doomshot begins play in head mode on a character with a body mode. When that character is KO'd, Doomshot is deployed in bot mode. In order to represent Doomshot's size as a Titan Master, the card is the size of a battle card, about half the size of a normal character card.
The card's art is based on the Doomshot Titan Master included with the Titans Return Megatron toy. The head mode artwork is reused from said toy's packaging artwork, and the bot mode features original artwork with lines by Ken Christiansen.
This card's set was originally set for an April 2020 release, however due to the global COVID-19 pandemic the release was pushed back to May 29, 2020.
