[edit]
  • Venom (Deluxe Insecticon, 1985)
The Transformers Venom came with a green weapon, identified as an electric-blaster gun in his instructions and as an electro-blaster gun in his packaging bio.

Notes

[edit]
  • It's entirely possible that either Venom's instructions or packaging bio contained a misprint or typo but at this stage it's impossible to say which. For what it's worth, his unpublished Marvel Universe profile[1] went with the electric-blaster gun, while his Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile called it an electro-blaster rifle, because Dreamwave apparently wanted to add the word "rifle" to as many weapons' names as possible.
