| This article is about the Pipes homage from Revenge of the Fallen. For the Nebulan Targetmaster from Generation 1, see Blowpipe (G1). |
- Blowpipe is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action movie continuity.
Blowpipe just loves to tinker with himself. Fascinated by Earth technology, he and Ratchet spend a lot of time incorporating high-performance racing machinery into his systems. This relentless self-modification has resulted in a robot that's far stronger and faster than he appears at first glance.
He's particularly eager to test his nitro-boosted speed against the Decepticon messenger Sideways.[1]
Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- Super Tuner Throwdown (Deluxe two-pack, 2009)

- Blowpipe is a redeco of the first film's Dropkick toy, in blue and gray as an homage to Generation 1 Pipes. He transforms into a customized Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck (or a similar model just different enough to avoid paying a licensing fee). His flatbed cover conceals a giant claw/plier deployed from the tailgate by a sliding knob on top. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode. He also has (non-firing) twin blasters on the underside of each forearm in robot mode. Blowpipe was only available in a Walmart exclusive two-pack with the darker version of Sideways.
