	The anti-gravity gun ~~wass~~ subject to severe and uncontrollable fluctuations in the degree to which it nullified the effect of gravity. At its highest settings, it could cause objects to fly off into space. The version built on Earth was much more powerful. The unstable energies of the anti-gravity gun could potentially cause a localized rip in the space-time continuum if mishandled.

	On Cybertron, the Decepticons experimented with anti-gravity gun technology, using it on many [[Autobot]] emplacements. The Autobot [[Smokescreen (G1)\|Smokescreen's]] home was almost sent floating off into space in one of these attacks. The technology was eventually abandoned after 1) even the Decepticons found its unstable nature too dangerous, and 2) [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] turned the weapon on them, using its reverse setting to send them plummeting down into Cybertron's lower levels. (The embarrassment of the latter probably had more to do with the technology's abandonment than the former did.)
