This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.
Bludgeon is the best dang sharpshooter on all of Cybertron! Yee-Haw! He's recently become fascinated with Earth's transmissions about their law-enforcement units, installing hip-holsters for his pistols and similar equipment in order to better emulate them. He's friends with Carnivac, with whom he usually teams up during the Mayhem Suppression Squad's missions.
Fiction
Shattered Glass
Bludgeon and the rest of the Mayhem Suppression Squad joined in the defense of the Arch-Ayr fuel dump. He and Carnivac took on Optimus Prime together, with Bludgeon hip-shooting Prime and Carnivac chewing on him. Dungeons & Dinobots
Toys
Robots in Disguise
- Bludgeon (Destructicon, 2003)
- Accessories: Rifle, 2 missiles
- Bludgeon was repurposed from Robots in Disguise Bludgeon. A redeco of the Generation 2 "Hero" Megatron mold, Bludgeon transforms into an Abrams M1A1 assault tank. His main cannon uses an air-bladder to launch the hollow, rubber-tipped missiles he comes with. These missiles can be stored with pull-out clips on the sides of his turret, which become his robot-mode arms.
- He and his fellow Destructicon Scourge were exclusive to the KB Toys store chain, released under the Robots in Disguise banner long after the series had been replaced with Armada, which explains why they used the same packaging style.
- This mold was also used to make Reverse Convoy.
Notes
- The casting of Bludgeon as a cowboy (as opposed to a samurai) is likely a reference to several samurai movies being adapted into Westerns. For instance, Seven Samurai being remade as The Magnificent Seven and Yojimbo being remade as A Fistful of Dollars. Or... in a more meta way it could be a reference to Akira Kurosawa's love for John Ford's films.
