Rust-ray rifle

I had a Rust Gun before he made it cool.

Autobots with two heads love to make their enemies rust. This is a fact.

Doublecross carries a rust-ray rifle, and Doubleheader carries a rust-ray gun. Both fire rays that make metal rust.

The Omnibot Downshift also totes a rust rifle for all his dimension-hopping misadventures.

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

In robot mode the Monsterbot Doublecross carried a rust-ray rifle that corroded an enemy's armour until it disintegrated. Doublecross's More than Meets the Eye profile Similarly, Doubleheader wielded a corroding rust-ray gun. Doubleheader's More than Meets the Eye profile

Notes

• Downshift's unpublished Marvel Universe profile confirms that he would have carried a rust rifle in that continuity,<ref>Downshift's Marvel comic bible profile</ref> while his Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile eschewed the rust rifle in favour of his neural shock gun.
• Given that Downshift and Camshaft's names were switched in Japan, the Tech Specs for the Generation 1 Japanese release of Downshift's toy called this weapon a hand pulse laser.
