| The name or term "Dropshot" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dropshot (disambiguation). |
- Dropshot is an Autobot from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Dropshot is not a very lucky robot. He's a dedicated warrior, to be sure, but he's not very good at avoiding injury. At least he's been lucky enough that his parts were always salvageable and his spark has yet to be extinguished.

- No toy of Dropshot was ever released. However, his character model was based on an unreleased Generation 1 Triple Changer toy whose prototype is seen in the Japanese Transformers Generations book. The toy transformed from robot to F-15 fighter jet to a horse, though the beast mode looks a bit more like a llama. The toy may have been developed to be a carded toy rather than boxed like the other Triple Changers; according to the book, its robot mode was only 10 centimeters (roughly 4 inches) tall.
