Heater is a Decepticon-allied Nebulan from the Generation 1 continuity family.
You wanna buy some death sticks?

Heater prefers to take the path of least resistance. Legitimate work is too much of a hassle, so he made a living by shilling illegal pleasure pods; when the Nebulan authorities closed in, he escaped the rigors of prison by joining the Decepticons. Subjected to the Targetmaster process, Heater was binary-bonded with Quake and gained the ability to transform into a photon pistol. His laziness and criminal tendencies have not endeared him to Tiptop, Quake's other partner.


Toys

Generation 1

  • Quake (Targetmaster, 1988)
Heater, like all the "double" Targetmaster Nebulans, is one of the smallest and least complicated Transformers. Fold the barrel away, and stand him up. His back has a peg-hole that allows him to combine with Heater (or any other Targetmaster or weapon with a 5mm peg) to create a super-weapon. He was only available in a set with Quake and Tiptop.
No version of this character or mold was released in Japan.

Notes

  • Neither Tiptop nor Heater make an explicit appearance in the Marvel comic, but Quake's tank mode has extra gun on his toy's Targetmaster hardpoint in US issues #75 and #80. In issue #80 the extra gun looks like a simplified Heater design and his main turret might be Tiptop. Whether or not these are genuine appearances of Quake's Targetmasters is unclear.
