- Tiptop is a Decepticon-allied Nebulan Targetmaster from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Tiptop was a renowned strongman with the Traveling Three-Sphere Circus of Nebulos, until his own carelessness led to his downfall. He blamed others for his misfortune, however, and joined the Decepticons to get back at them.
Binary-bonded with Quake, Tiptop became a Targetmaster capable of transforming into a gyroscopic destabilizer that unbalances its targets. Tiptop can't stand Quake's other partner, the smarmy and shiftless Heater.
Toys
The Transformers
- Quake (Targetmaster, 1988)
- Known designers: Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)
- Released in the fifth year of the original Transformers toyline, Tiptop transforms from armored humanoid to a "gyroscopic destabilizer" cannon. In cannon mode, he can also form a "super weapon" by combining with his pack-in partner Heater or any other small Targetmaster gun (or really anything that uses 5 mm posts and holes).
- He was only available packed in with the Decepticon Quake and the aforementioned Heater. No version of this mold-set was released in Japan.
Notes
- Neither Tiptop nor Heater make an explicit appearance in the Marvel comic, but Quake's tank mode has an extra gun on his toy's Targetmaster hardpoint in US issues #75 and #80. In issue #80 the extra gun looks like a simplified Heater design and his main turret might be Tiptop. Whether or not these are genuine appearances of Quake's Targetmasters is unclear.
