Electrostatic overloader rifle

Zigzag transforms into a twin electrostatic overloader rifle.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Zigzag was bio-engineered to transform into a twin electrostatic overloader rifle, which could disable a mechanical opponent by flooding their circuits with a surge of electricity, causing them to overload and shut down. However, Zigzag's accuracy was so poor most targets escaped unscathed. Needlenose's Universe profile
