'''Triggerhappy''' is a nutball. You get them in the Decepticons from time to time. He's generally found [[Humanization|drooling]] and/or giggling wildly. He's been that way ever since an incident at Decepticon boot camp, in which he was firing while surfing on his hover board, but fell off and hit his head. He remained firing all the while and ended up disintegrating half a dozen other Decepticons. The camp commander was impressed and graduated Triggerhappy on the spot. Nobody is sure if it's an act or if he suffered [[Flashdrive|processor]] damage in the fall. What is known is that he pays very little attention to where he's shooting but LOVES the sound his gun makes when fired. Good idea arming him there, [[Megatron (G1)|Megs]]. 

Triggerhappy is [[Binary bonding|binary-bonded]] with [[Blowpipe]], the conniving, envious brother-in-law of [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] leader [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Mo Zarak]].

==Fiction==
===American cartoon continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Charles Adler]]

Triggerhappy was one of several Decepticon jets serving under [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] when they attacked [[Autobot City]] as part of a division while the Decepticon Clones stole the Key to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]. After Scourge successfully activated the chamber on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] (and inadvertently sent a shuttle full of Autobots and the key halfway across the galaxy), Triggerhappy, [[Misfire]] and [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] were among the Decepticon unit sent to retrieve the key. Following the Autobots to [[Nebulos]], Triggerhappy attacked the Autobums, welcoming them to the scrapyard that they would become should he succeed in destroying them.  {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} 

Though the Decepticons managed to capture several Autobots, they were soon overwhelmed by new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster technology]] the Autobots developed with the Nebulan rebels. After making a deal with the Hive, the Decepticons underwent [[binary-bonding]] as well, and Triggerhappy was given a new partner who blows hard and fast. Armed with this new skill, Triggerhappy and his [[Targetmaster]] companions successfully helped reacquire the Chamber's key. While waiting for Zarak to complete modifications to [[Scorponok (G1)|his city]], Triggerhappy declared a possible gasket-blowing event was imminent should he be made to wait any longer.  {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} 

Triggerhappy and the other Targetmasters returned to Cybertron just in the nick of time to save Galvatron from the remainder of the Autobot forces. Galvatron was less than impressed by their new Hive partners, however, and addressed Triggerhappy directly when he berated them for letting organics inhabit their bodies, despite the fact Triggerhappy wasn't a Headmaster.  {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}


===Japanese cartoon continuity===
====''The Headmasters''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Michihiro Ikemizu]]

Triggerhappy and his partners, Misfire and Slugslinger, were frequent opponents of the Autobot trio under [[Pointblank]]'s command. When all of them were engaged in combat over several space-faring denizens of planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], a massive explosion caught everyone off-guard. Triggerhappy and his partners and foes alike were transformed into Targetmasters, somehow fused together in pairs with each of the smaller Master Transformers by the explosion.  {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
[[Image:US69EyeofStorm.JPG|right|300px|thumb|&quot;And you, Stand up straight! You&#39;re making us all look uncivilized!&quot;]]
For some reason, when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] was choosing troops who might enjoy becoming binary-bonded Targetmasters with more powerful weapons, he thought of Triggerhappy.

During the war on Earth, Triggerhappy got sick of Scorponok's command, especially after he let that maniac [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] back into the Decepticons. Triggerhappy couldn't stand working with Starscream, so he and [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] left Scorponok's Decepticons and joined Starscream's auxiliary army.

Wait. What?


===IDW comics continuity===

Triggerhappy was part of the crew of the ''[[Thanatos]]'', commanded by [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] and the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. He begrudgingly gave aid to Optimus Prime and the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] while battling [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] in order to preserve their home planet of Cybertron and show the Autobots how war was really done.  {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Triggerhappy with Blowpipe''' (Targetmaster, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-88'''
**''Accessories:'' Blowpipe Targetmaster gun/[[Compression cannon|Compressed Air Cannon]]
[[Image:G1 Triggerhappy toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Couldn&#39;t decide whether to come as Thundercracker or Skyquake.]]
: Triggerhappy transforms into a blue Cybertronic fighter craft with large, dual off-white cannons on either side his body, looking a fair bit like an [[Luke Skywalker|X-Wing fighter]] from ''[[Star Wars]]''. His Targetmaster partner, Blowpipe, can be stored in a socket on the rear of the fighter, just in front of where his head is stored. Somewhat unusually, the entire cockpit nose is mounted on a bar that swings upward so the nose meets with the rear fuselage to form his upper torso. His large fighter cannons swing up to the sides of his arms in robot mode, but the hinges aren't strong enough to deal with their weight, so they have a tendency to flop down. Blowpipe can be held in Triggerhappy's hands.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Triggerhappy heads.JPG|right|200px|thumb|The guy on the left went on to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shredder_(Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles) bigger and better] things]]
* For some reason Triggerhappy's [[character model]] in the comics and cartoon differs from that of his toy and [[package art]].  He has a [[Mouthplate|faceplate]] in his fictional appearances, and normal eyes, giving him a ninja-like facies.  His toy features a normal face with Nightbeat-style "shades".
