| This article is about the American Micromaster. For his Japanese counterpart, see Gunlift. |
- Big Shot is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Big Shot is the leader of the Battle Patrol, and he likes to think inside the box. A dutiful soldier, he will follow every order to the letter, and makes sure his patrol gives their all for the cause. Beyond that, however, he refuses to carry any operation a step further than he was authorized to by a commanding officer. This makes him efficient and reliable, but since it seems like every other Micromaster is a hothead who doesn't play by the rules, it also makes him a bit of an outsider.[1] Luckily, he comes equipped with a gun as long as his entire superstructure. Takes the edge off.

Marvel Comics continuity
Marvel The Transformers comics
On Cybertron, Emirate Xaaron's resistance cell received word that the Decepticons were experimenting with a new "secret weapon". He sent in Big Shot and the Battle Patrol, part of their new Micromaster warriors, to investigate. Little did the Autobots realize the "secret weapon" was a ruse; the Decepticons needed to lure some Micromasters to them in order to duplicate the technology. Facing certain capture, Big Shot prepared to follow orders and activate the suicide button built into his team, destroying them before the Decepticons could loot their circuitry for the secrets of the Micromaster process. He couldn't do it, however, and chose to go down fighting as an Autobot warrior should. Thunderwing easily bested the lot of them unfortunately, and began reverse engineering the technology housed within their bodies via vivisection.
