| This article is about the heroic Decepticon. For his evil counterpart, see Treadshot (Universe 2003). For a list of other meanings, see Treadshot (disambiguation). |
- Treadshot is a heroic Decepticon from the Shattered Glass continuity family.
Treadshot and Ultra Magnus developed an intimate friendship while they were trained by the weapons masters Treble and Gain. They were inseparable. Were, that is, until Ultra Magnus decided to join his brother Optimus Prime's evil Autobot insurgency. Magnus felt betrayed when Treadshot said he could not go down that path, and Treadshot felt equally enraged when he saw what his former friend was capable of.
Again and again they clashed on the battlefield, each instance more heated than the last. Treadshot's hatred for Ultra Magnus had quickly become an obsession. He could think of nothing other than obliterating Magnus once and for all. Treadshot dreamed of beating down Magnus with his fists, making Magnus hurt like Treadshot had been hurt by him, and finally bleaching the stain of him from both the universe and his mind. Only then can Treadshot move on.
They're a lovely couple.
