Fiction
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
Motormaster wields an atom-smasher rifle, Motormaster's More than Meets the Eye profile as does Menasor. Menasor's More than Meets the Eye profile

Toys
The Transformers
- Snaptrap (Seacon, 1988)
- Accessories: atom-smasher rifle, incendiary sword, half-shell shield/chestplate, 2 footplates, left & right combiner fists, super robot head
- Although The Transformers Snaptrap's instructions label his weapons genericaly as "laser" and "sword", his packaging bio reveals that they represent a semi-automatic atom-smasher rifle and incendiary sword. In turtle mode the rifle can be mounted on the rear half of the shell, or he can hold it in robot mode.
- This toy was available as part of a Piranacon giftset and has been redecoed and reissued. The mold was also used to make Halfshell, though he lacked the rifle accessory.
Notes
- Snaptrap's Marvel Universe profile upgrades his weapon to an atom-smasher cannon.
- Conversely, his Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile genericises it as an atom-smasher gun.
