- Sunbeam is a Nebulan Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sunbeam doesn't need your 'rules', man. He's a beach bum, and all that matters to him is rocket-surfing the ultimate wave.

As a Targetmaster, he has the ability to transform into a solar-powered light-burst discharger, capable of blinding his foes.

- Needlenose (Targetmaster, 1988)
- Sunbeam, like all the "double" Targetmaster Nebulans, is one of the smallest and least complicated Transformers. Fold the barrel away, and stand him up. He was released with the Decepticon Needlenose in 1988. No version of this character or mold was released in Japan.
