[[File:G1-toy Shrapnel.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
When he is not using his [[shrapnel grenade]] [[Grenade launcher|launcher]] or the raw power of electricity itself to dispatch his enemies, [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] is armed with the really scary-sounding '''gamma ray detonator''', while his [[Cloning|clone]] [[Zaptrap]] carries the similarly scary-sounding '''gamma beam detonator'''. It's not clear if there is any difference between the two but it would probably be best to not to be on the receiving end of either of them.

*'''Shrapnel''' ([[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]], [[1985]])
**''Accessories'': gamma ray detonator
:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' [[Shrapnel (G1)#Toys|Shrapnel]] came with a silver [[chrome]]d [[weapon]], labelled as a gamma ray detonator in his [[instructions]]. It came in two variations, some have "fins" on the very back-end of the weapon and a more detailed main barrel, while others (obviously) lack those details. The extra-detail version appears to be a later run.

:This [[toy]] was available as a mail-away item in [[Japan]] during [[1987]]-[[1988|88]] and has also been [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] a number of times since.

==Notes==
*Like his fellow Insecticons' [[Ion impulse blaster|twin ion impulse blaster]] and [[electrothermic blast tube]], Shrapnel's weapon had a completely different, exotic-sounding name in his toy's instructions that would be almost entirely ignored elsewhere—including in his own [[packaging]] [[bio]], where it was described as a grenade launcher instead. This would then feed into Shrapnel's subsequent appearances in fiction, as well as his [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|Universe]]'' and [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye| More than Meets the Eye]]'' profiles.
