X-Gunner

X-Gunner is a Decepticon from the Robot Masters portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Please disregard the rocket. I'll just punch you instead.

X-Gunner (イクスガンナー, i-ku-su-ga-naa) is one obsessed dude. He's obsessed with combat. He's obsessed with being the very best in combat. As such, he's obsessed with constantly upgrading his body and weapon systems. And to that end, he has become obsessed with the Autobot Cyberjet Delta Seeker. X-Gunner longs to smash Delta into the ground and wrench his "Gauntlet Frame" missile launcher from the Autobot's arm socket, using it to upgrade his own Gauntlet Frame.

There can be only one.

Starscream, Wing Stun and X-Gunner approached the patrolling Autobots Optimus Primal, R-Blade and Delta Seeker, and apparently wanted to have a test of air-speed. Leaving Optimus in their wake, the five jet-form Transformers took off, with the Decepticons ahead. R-Blade used a special spinning technique to get ahead of the Decepticons and generated a smokescreen, giving Delta Seeker the chance to knock all three out of the sky.

I used to be a gunner.

• Delta Seeker vs. X-Gunner (Two-pack, 2004)
  • Japanese ID number: RM-20
  • Accessories: 2 missiles

A redeco of the Generation 2 Cyberjet Space Case mold, X-Gunner transforms into a forward-swept-wing fighter jet of fictional design, a conglomerate of "cutting edge" stylistic cues taken from various experimental aircraft. In both modes, he has a pressure-launch missile launcher. Unlike the other Cyberjet molds, he actually has two "normal" robot mode hands, rather than his whole right forearm being taken up with the "Gauntlet Frame" launcher. He was available only in a two-pack with the Autobot Delta Seeker.

This mold was also used to make the Generation 2 incarnation of the former Technobot Strafe, the Generation 2 former Decepticon Strafe, as well as the Universe version of Space Case.
