[edit]Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity
[edit]Legends comic
In 2021, the Decepticon Sixshot worked with Daniel to break Star Saber out of the Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary by surrendering himself to the inhabitants of Micro, who removed his head and converted it into a Micro-sized robot in order to weaken him. Having foreseen this, however, Sixshot had already converted his body into a transtector that he and Daniel used to escape to the Legends World with Star Saber. There they hid out with Chromedome, who was willing to put his grudge against Sixshot aside as long as the ninja helped him with his manga artist career, and when a resurrected Ultra Magnus came to recapture Star Saber, Sixshot battled and defeated him once more. His victory was short-lived, however, as he was then impaled from behind by Nightbird for breaking the Six Clan's law to remain hidden. While he accepted death as punishment for his evil deeds and said his goodbyes to Daniel, he ended up surviving the explosion of his transtector and instead disappeared into the shadows. Hearing of the Legends World's power to bring back the dead, he vowed to repay Chromedome by resurrecting Abel and Jack and sought out Giga to learn more. LG50 Sixshot
To thank Sixshot for rescuing him, Star Saber gave Sixshot a new transtector, encouraging him to use it to become "Greatshot", to maintain the illusion that he was dead and avoid the Six Clan's wrath. Sixshot took to the idea, but first went to Giga so that they could use the Shinchōkon in the Legends World to resurrect Jack. However, his resurrection required that Sixshot give up his body and thus his soul was transferred to the Greatshot transtector while the Headmaster became a new incarnation of Jack. The two returned to the G1 World in 2022, where they worked in concert with Star Saber's Autobots to put a final end to the Concurrence.
Greatshot eventually received his own head, allowing Jack and Greatshot to become fully independent beings. In 2026, Greatshot received potentially fatal injuries in the Silvart War, but was saved by the timely appearance of his Autobot and human friends, who had been searching for him since his disappearance the year prior.

Greatshot's former friends included the criminal mercenaries Blue Bacchus and Black Shadow as well as the sociopathic Guyhawk. Greatshot trailed the pair of mercenaries to planet Micro, intent on stopping them as his first step in "putting an end to conflict." There he encountered and teamed up with Star Saber, the Autobot leader, who was himself investigating Decepticon attacks. Greatshot informed the Autobots that he would deal with the matter as a point of honor, though Star Saber insisted on helping anyway. Greatshot was able to best the two Crossformer mercenaries in combat, destroying their powerful shells, though he failed to defeat either core opponent. He parted ways with the Autobots on somewhat friendlier terms. Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior
Greatshot traveled with Holi to a prison facility of Micro, sneaking in through the sewer system. Though Greatshot hoped to convert Guyhawk to the Autobot cause, his former friend gave his refusal in a spray of blaster rounds that almost wiped out the two Autobots. The pair fought, destabilising the prison's lava power supply. Greatshot was almost sent plunging into the lava, but saved himself with a grappling line. Holi was helping him out when a quake sent them hurtling towards the lava, but they were saved by the timely arrival of Star Saber. Greatshot and Holi became firm friends as a result of the encounter. Rescue! Guyhawk
Some time later, Greatshot visited Earth to see his new friends. After sleeping in a seaside cave, he was surprised by the Thunder Arrow erupting from the ocean. He trailed it, and stumbled on a destroyed city full of dead Autobots. Continuing on, he finally caught up with the Decepticons and was able to assist the Brainmasters, facing Deathsaurus himself in combat. With yet another timely arrival on the part of Star Saber, the Decepticons were seen off. Crisis! Ambush in the Desert After the death of God Ginrai, Star Saber called Greatshot to Shuttle Base and asked him to take command of God Ginrai's Second Army. Greatshot reluctantly agreed. Fight!! Victory Leo
When Deathsaurus was able to reactivate his Planet-Destroying Fortress, Star Saber called Greatshot away from his duties to assist in battling the thing. He arrived in time to help Road Caesar, though they were unable to prevent the fortress from launching meteors at Earth, causing untold devastation. The two Autobots decided to assault the fortress's launch bay, and were only saved from certain destruction by the arrival of Star Saber and Victory Leo, the former of whom ordered them to retreat to Earth. The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!
Following the destruction of the fortress and defeat of Deathsaurus, Greatshot returned to his life as a mercenary and disappeared after the Silvart War. Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification
