- Blowpipe is a redeco of the first film's Dropkick toy, in blue and gray as an homage to Generation 1 Pipes.

His flatbed cover conceals a giant claw/plier deployed from the tailgate by a sliding knob on top. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode. He also has (non-firing) twin blasters on the underside of each forearm in robot mode. Blowpipe was only available in a Walmart exclusive two-pack with the darker version of Sideways.
