Photon displacer gun

The gun makes you trip balls while he trips on himself.

Woe to any Decepticon who falls prey to Fireflight's photon displacer gun. By altering the vectors of photons, it distorts its target's vision, leaving them practically helpless for five minutes, at which point the weapon's effects wear off.

Mix-mix-mixmaster also sports a shoulder-mounted optical dist-distortion projector that-that works on the same princ-principle. Get it, get it, heh-huh?

Fiction

The Big Broadcast of 2006

In the UK version of the story, the events of "The Big Broadcast of 2006" are a fabrication invented by Wreck-Gar.

After receiving reports from Sky Lynx that the Quintessons were up to no good on the planet of Junk, Rodimus Prime sent the Aerialbots to investigate. Encountering a Quintesson Cruiser above the planet, they attempted to form Superion but were caught in a crossfire between the Junkions and the Quintessons, so Fireflight transformed to fire his photon displacer gun at the Quintesson ship, hiding it from the Junkions and buying the Aerialbots time to combine.
