Electro-static cannon

The Autobot Pretender Gunrunner would rather stay inside his outer shell, and with good reason, because its turret is armed with a pair of powerful 8MM electro-static cannons. He can also combine with the turret to form his jet mode, though he prefers not to.

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Gunrunner's outer Pretender shell was armed with dual electro-static cannon turrets and a targeting system that made them accurate up to a range of 60 miles. He could also use the cannons in jet mode, though their effective range was halved without the shell's targeting computer. Gunrunner's More than Meets the Eye profile
