''[[Pointblank]] leads his Autobot Targetmasters against their Decepticon counterparts led by [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]], demanding they release the small Targetmasters that they've forced to become Decepticons. As the battle reaches its climax, the Autobot Targetmaster partners detach to recover the remainder of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s bombs only to be grabbed by the Decepticons. Slugslinger reveals that since the Targetmasters were bonded to their current partners by a [[plasma energy]] shockwave, their plan is to purposefully expose themselves to the black hole's explosion and bond with the Autobots' partners as well. Things don't go as planned, however, as the explosion instead shrinks their bodies and causes the Targetmaster partners to disappear. The Targetmasters go on to convert into Headmaster bodies like the other victims, but choose not to follow them to the Legends World, instead remaining in [[G1 World|their own universe]] to search for their partners.''

In the current-day Legends World, the three [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s have been integrated into [[Akihabara]] and created what [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] dubs "Neo Akihabara City". The elected mayor of the new city is [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], who holds a speech about how he wishes to create an ideal world without conflict where [[Transformer]]s, [[human]]s, and beasts can live in peace, claiming he does not want to repeat the "arguments" he had with his old friend, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Elsewhere, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] has his [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]] dig for another [[Zodiac]] only to uncover one of the lost Targetmasters, [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]]. Meanwhile, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Shaoshao Li]] arrive in the Legends World in search of the lost Targetmasters, the former having converted into a Headmaster body in order to be inconspicuous during their investigation. Problem is he can't actually afford a [[transtector]] for it, but he's confident things will work out somehow.

The Targetmasters disappeared a long time ago, but what happened to them?

Synopsis

[edit]

The Headmasters were not the only warriors who fought in the battle near the black hole that forced the Autobots and Decepticons to seek new bodies in the Legends World—the Targetmasters were also present.

Pointblank leads his Autobot Targetmasters against their Decepticon counterparts led by Slugslinger, demanding they release the small Targetmasters that they've forced to become Decepticons. As the battle reaches its climax, the Autobot Targetmaster partners detach to recover the remainder of Scorponok's bombs only to be grabbed by the Decepticons. Slugslinger reveals that since the Targetmasters were bonded to their current partners by a plasma energy shockwave, their plan is to purposefully expose themselves to the black hole's explosion and bond with the Autobots' partners as well. Things don't go as planned, however, as the explosion instead shrinks their bodies and causes the Targetmaster partners to disappear. The Targetmasters go on to convert into Headmaster bodies like the other victims, but choose not to follow them to the Legends World, instead remaining in their own universe to search for their partners.

In the current-day Legends World, the three city-bots have been integrated into Akihabara and created what Rattrap dubs "Neo Akihabara City". The elected mayor of the new city is Megatron, who holds a speech about how he wishes to create an ideal world without conflict where Transformers, humans, and beasts can live in peace, claiming he does not want to repeat the "arguments" he had with his old friend, Optimus Prime. Elsewhere, Scourge has his Sweeps dig for another Zodiac only to uncover one of the lost Targetmasters, Blowpipe. Meanwhile, Hot Rod and Shaoshao Li arrive in the Legends World in search of the lost Targetmasters, the former having converted into a Headmaster body in order to be inconspicuous during their investigation. Problem is he can't actually afford a transtector for it, but he's confident things will work out somehow.

Transformers references

[edit]
  • The Autobot Targetmasters' Headmaster bodies are based on existing toys with new head-modes based on their original faces (though some features are seen clearer in the later "Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter"). Pointblank is based on the Blowpipe mold, Crosshairs on the Terri-Bull mold, and Sureshot on the Furos mold.
