'''Spoilsport''' has a rather appropriate moniker, given that he spoils the fun of his partner [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] by being an equally good marksman.  In a contest between an intelligent gun and an intelligent gunner, the gun gets a majority vote.  His partner resents his interference, and in his turn, Spoilsport resents Sureshot for his lack of appreciation.  It can't help that Sureshot is a jerk, of course, and presumably he ''never calls''.

Spoilsport's nature varies by universe; in most, he is an organic [[Nebulon]], though in others he is a robotic lifeform from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]].

Spoilsport was part of [[Gort]]'s group of rebel Nebulans.  When Targetmaster technology was stolen from the [[Decepticon]]s, Peacemaker chose to be paired with Sureshot.  Shortly after the process was completed, he boasted to the Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] that there wasn't a target he couldn't hit (only for [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pinpointer]] to outboast him). During the later battle against the Decepticons, Sureshot instructed him to blast the enemy, and he complied with pleasure. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Like the rest of the Nebulan rebels, he accompanied the Autobots back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and helped to defeat the Decepticons and bring about a new [[Golden Age]] on the planet. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

Spoilsport and his five friends were refugees, having fled their home planet of [[Master (planet)|Master]] when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the Decepticons began an all-out siege on the world. They were being chased through space in their starship by the  Decepticons when they came across the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] gave them safe haven aboard his starship, and the Master citizens attempted to show their gratitude by removing the deadly [[plasma energy]] bombs Fortress was trying to dispose of. Their efforts came too late, however, as the plasma energy bombs exploded aboard their ship in space, bathing everyone nearby with energy. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

Spoilsport survived the explosion, and in fact underwent a miraculous transformation. He and two of his fellow refugees were each now binary bonded to one of the Autobot warriors who had been trying to save them when the plasma bombs went off. The smaller Master warriors could each transform into a powerful weapon and fuse with their larger partner's fist, creating Targetmasters. Spoilsport and his new partner Sureshot became soldiers together under Fortress's command. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

In a battle for the data of the [[Master Sword]], Spoilsport bonded with Sureshot to fight the Decepticons. {{Storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Spoilsport again joined his partner when the Autobot Targetmasters landed on Master to investigate the possible presence of the Decepticons. The two forces battled each other, and the Decepticons were able to wash the Autobots away in a surge of water from an elevated lake. They were eventually able to pull themselves out of the new river and scouted the area for the hidden Decepticons, finding their cave hideout. As they were much smaller than their partners, [[Peacemaker]], [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pinpointer]], and Spoilsport volunteered to go ahead, using a small entrance into the factory where the Decepticons were creating the [[Zarak Shield]]. When their larger partners again came under attack by the Decepticon Targetmasters, they left the complex and rejoined their comrades, helping force the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}

With the Zarak Shield now known to the Autobots, they had a meeting to discuss strategy, which Spoilsport sat in. Following [[Pointblank (G1)|Pointblank]]'s strategy, the smaller Targetmaster partners joined in an advance part to find the Decepticons. They were soon attacked by the Decepticons, who had detected them. During battle, the Decepticons were distracted by an aircraft sent by the natives of Master, allowing the Autobots to escape. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} After the Decepticons left Master for [[Earth]], the Autobots followed. When Daniel was trapped at [[Daira]], the Targetmasters went ahead to keep watch on Scorponok while the others rescued Daniel. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}} They were spotted in the [[asteroid belt]] and pulled into a battle. The other Autobots came to their rescue, and the fighting ended when [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] challenged [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] to battle. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

When the Autobots arrived on Earth, the Targetmasters were sent to investigate the [[Death Tower]] in [[Santiago]], [[Chile]]. They met with [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who was easily taken down by Peacemaker and Pointblank, and returned to the other Autobots with their data. {{Storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} The Autobots soon went to [[Giza (region)|Giza]], [[Egypt]], to catch the Death Tower there before it emerged. Spoilsport later joined the Autobots in the decisive battle at the [[North Pole]] and the [[Final Formation]] that ended Scorponok's machinations on Earth. {{Storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

*'''Sureshot''' (Targetmaster, 1987)
**''ID number:'' '''C-105'''

: Available only with his larger partner Sureshot, Spoilsport transforms into a double-barreled blaster. In weapon mode he can either be a hand-held gun or mounted on Crosshairs's roof via [[5mm post]]s.

===United===
*'''Spoilsport''' (Targetmaster Micron, [[March 5|3-05]]-2011)

: A [[redeco]] of ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Airlift (PCC)|Airlift]], Spoilsport transforms into a double-barreled gun that can be held by any toy using [[5mm post|5mm weapon-mount points]]. He was only available as part of the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' "Movie Preview Campaign" at Bic Camera and Yodobashi Camera stores on [[March 5]]th, given away with the purchase of over 3000 yen worth of ''Transformers'' product.

: His instructions only show the hand-held mode (held by [[Kup (G1)#United|''United'' Kup]] since there is no modern Sureshot for him to partner with), but as he is a ''Power Core Combiners'' Mini-Con mold, he can also be converted into a compact weapon meant for vehicle-mode use (attached by his [[Powerlinx]] socket), plus an "armor" mode that connects to a ''Power Core Combiners'' [[Commander (PCC)|Commander]] toy's chest or back-mounted [[Powerlinx]] plug for use in either of their robot modes.

: This mold was also used to make [[Recoil]] and [[Deduce]].

==Notes==
* Spoil's [[character model]] differs from Spoilsport's.  Oddly, it does not seem to have ever been published anywhere, with new artwork by [[Ban Magami]] used in various Japanese publications alongside the models for the other 5 Targetmaster companions.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Spoil''' (スポイル ''Spoiru''), '''Spoilsport''' (スポイルスポート ''Supoirusupōto'')
