Editing Maximal Buster

[[File:Galvatron-Revived-Cybertron-Buster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Whenever a battle calls for a [[Maximal]] to use a ranged weapon to blindly fire lasers at their enemy, the '''Cybertron Buster''' (サイバトロンバスター ''Saibatoron Basutā'') is here to help!

This is a standard-model blaster used only by Maximals, whenever their special attacks are considered too powerful for a particular battle—because, let's be honest, if a battle can be won by a single blast from, let's say [[Bighorn]]'s "Buffalo Missile", the fight would be over in mere seconds.

Alternatively, the Cybertron Buster is also used by Maximals that don't have ranged weapons or blasters in their regular arsenal.

[[Scuba]] was the first to wield the Cybertron Buster, in the episode "[[The Lake Trap]]". As the character and his toy both lacked any blaster-type weapons, the generic weapon made for an excellent addition to his dramatic entrance in the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] base. Future episodes saw all the members of [[Lio Convoy]]'s [[Lio Convoy Unit|Unit]] wielding a Cybertron Buster at one point or another—most notably in "[[Galvatron Revived]]". The Cybertron Buster would also be used as a generic stand-in blaster for small-scale battles where it was required for both sides to fire multiple lasers and rockets at eachother without harming one another. 

Additionally, the first few episodes treated most toy [[gimmick]]s and third modes (like Apache's "Angry Combat Mode") as mysterious and unknown by their peers; only being mentioned as rumors in the character introduction featurettes at the end of the first three episodes. A lot of the toy gimmick weapons had also been depicted as  over-powered to some extent; having characters only use them as a last resort, until the show no longer required them to be used sparingly. 

Despite the Cybertron Buster being used by almost everyone, the ''[[Beast Wars II Encyclopedia]]'' listed the weapon on [[Bighorn]]'s page as one of his weapons, likely due to the lack of any real features beyond his "Horn Thunder" and "Buffalo Missile" attacks.
