Fiction

[edit]

2005 IDW continuity

[edit]

At some point, the Guncon Rapidfire was rescued by the time travelling Necrobot from dying alongside the rest of his subgroup and was brought to Necroworld, where he inhabited a stasis capsule for the rest of the war. After being awakened from his slumber, Rapidfire was not happy about a present where the Autobots won, and conspired with his fellow Decepticon, Fangry, in order to make it right. Some Other Cybertron When Fangry got his aft handed to him by the enraged Tailgate for hurting Cyclonus, Rapidfire and two other Decepticons came to his aid but were scared off when the Minibot asked if they wanted a piece of him too, Rapidfire commenting that Fangry wasn't worth it.

Later, Rapidfire (who hadn't bothered to alert anyone Fangry was injured!) watched as Fangry was given surgery and generally acted concerned. He informed the doctors that Tailgate had done the deed. Modes of Production

Much later, Rapidfire and the rest of the Decepticon contingent on Necroworld had taken over, evidently killing off many of the Autobots. Rapidfire took to wearing the Necrobot's cloak.

When Fortress Maximus and his crew arrived, tracking a distress signal, Rapidfire's reign was cut short and his supporters gunned down. Confronted by Red Alert and Cerebros, he took Scrounge hostage and ordered the two to kneel. They complied... giving Red Alert the clear shot he needed to blow Rapidfire's head to bits with a back-mounted rocket launcher. Red Alert then took the Necrobot's cloak from his corpse. Sardines

Notes

[edit]
  • Apart from his face and chest, Rapidfire is modeled on Stockade from the first live-action movie toyline, bearing an SUV alt-mode and all the vehicle kibble hallmarks of a nigh-on identical transformation.
