A Water Gun is a device that weaponizes pressurized jets of liquid. Although the name would imply that such a weapon would be restricted exclusively to dispensing water, the title is often used loosely by Transformers, and used as a catch-all term for any weapon that is simply capable of firing water, regardless of what other substances can actually be fired from it. Many Cybertronians who transform into firetrucks come de facto equipped with a water gun due to their choice of alternate mode.

Fiction

Generation 1

Marvel The Transformers comics

The "water gun" was Ironhide's nickname for his weapon that was capable of shooting various liquids, such as supercooled liquid nitrogen, superheated liquid lead, and a petro-chemical fluid that ignited upon contact. Ironhide's Universe profile Sure enough, during the Autobots' first battle against Devastator, Ironhide blasted the Decepticon giant with liquid nitrogen. The Next Best Thing to Being There!

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

Ironhide's weapon was once referred to as a "power nozzle". He attempted to use it to shoot superheated molten lead at Dirge, but due to running out of power only managed to spew out a harmless bit of steam. Attack of the Insecticons

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Ironhide carried a rifle that could shoot his choice of liquid up to 1,000 feet, with cartridges containing superheated liquid metal, a self-igniting petrochemical spray, and liquid nitrogen. Ironhide's More than Meets the Eye profile

During a battle against the Sentinels outside Shockwave's Tower in Iacon, one of them snatched up Ironhide in its claw hand. While Hot Rod fired away at the giant robot from the outside, Ironhide blasted its claw with liquid nitrogen from the inside, rendering it brittle enough to shatter. Countdown to Extinction

Beast Wars

At least one iteration of Cheetor has displayed the ability to use one of his hand-held guns as a water gun. Cheetor Chapter

Toys

The Transformers

Ironhide (Autobot Car, 1984/1985)

Accessories: static laser gun, gun post, 3 missiles

The Transformers Ironhide's battle platform was armed with a raising missile launcher and front-mounted weapon, labelled as a static laser gun in his instructions, but described as firing a variety of liquids in his packaging bio. Unusually for toys of this period, this weapon could actually store in Ironhide's vehicle mode, plugging into his undercarriage. This mold was also used to make the concurrently-released Ratchet and has been reissued a number of times.
