| Dropshot infiltrated the American military forces early on in the Decepticon offensive, posing as one of their artillery vehicles. His mission was to monitor the military and report back all he heard to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Through him, Megatron learned of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]'s infiltration mission and the European Union's nuclear strike. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}} When the Autobots eventually returned to Earth, Dropshot was finally unleashed. He transformed and turned his firepower against his "hosts". {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}}

| : Part of the second wave of ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Voyagers and the "Classic Series", "Decepticon Dropshot" is a [[redeco]] of [[Scattorshot#CybDef|Cybertron Defense Scattorshot]], transforming into a [[wikipedia:TOS-1|TOS-1 Buratino]] multiple-launch rocket system. The halves of the (non-firing) launcher end up on his arms in robot mode. In either mode, inserting a [[Cyber Planet Key]] in each half reveals a new weapon: one side has a pull-out double spring-loaded missile launcher, while the other has a flip-out non-firing blaster barrel. He also comes with an extra long hand-held rifle that can be mounted in tank mode thanks to his [[Mini-con]]-compatible [[Powerlinx]] plugs.

| : His box photo shows an opaque-brown [[Earth]] Key with tan paint. The toy actually comes with an entirely unpainted transparent-brown Earth Key.

| :This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] and ''[[Timelines]]'' [[Flak]].

| ==Notes==
| |
| * Dropshot's toy has tech spec numbers and a general attitude that indicates he was likely intended to be the original [[Micromaster]] [[Dropshot (G1)|Dropshot]]. However, his only fiction appearance is in a continuity in which that'd be extremely unlikely, since that other Dropshot exists [[Gorlam Prime|elsewhere]] concurrently under odd circumstances. It's [[T-Wrecks|happened]] [[Grimlock (G1)|before]].
