Sometimes, a vicious beating by an enraged robot ape isn't enough to loosen a captive's [[oral circuits]]. That's why [[Beastbox (G1)|Beastbox]] needs his '''compression cannons'''. Unfortunately, the crushing blasts of air pressure they fire are more likely to ''silence'' their target... permanently.
A '''compression cannon''' is a weapon that takes [[Bristleback|normally harmless]] air and brings it under pressure. The compressed air then becomes a potentially lethal projectile, ranging upwards to 40,000 p.s.i. ('''p'''ounds per '''s'''quare '''i'''nch) or higher. That's enough to crush a target.

The faction-switching [[Catilla]]'s '''air concussion cannon''' works the same way, as does the ever-cheerful [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]]'s '''compressor-air gun'''. The latter's can kick out a 40,000 psi blast capable of ripping a grove of trees to shreds. But what's the point? The gun's going to break sooner or later. And shooting at the Autobots is just going to get him killed. Face it, we're doomed.

[[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]], [[Triggerhappy]]'s Nebulan partner turns into a '''compressed air cannon'''. While it's probably no less powerful than Dead End's or Beastbox's air guns, it leaves something to be desired when facing down your [[Scorponok (G1)|pissed-off ex-boss]].

The compression cannon is a weapon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Way more impressive than Heart.

A compression cannon is a weapon that takes normally harmless air and brings it under pressure. The compressed air then becomes a potentially lethal projectile, ranging upwards to 40,000 p.s.i. (pounds per square inch) or higher. That's enough to crush a target.
