| This article is about the weapon from Fall of Cybertron. For the experimental Decepticon cannon, see Pathblaster. |
The Path Blaster is a semi-automatic weapon that fires dense packets of molten metal with a good deal of accuracy. There are a number of common modifications to the basic model, perhaps none so remarkable as the so-called "Gambler" upgrade, which inserts an explosive synthetic Destronium round randomly into every magazine.

It has 5mm posts for the handle and on its side, has a spinning, ratcheting drum, and features a barrel that one can extend/retract just by pulling/pushing it out/in until it clicks into place. In an undocumented feature, the blaster can mount at an angle onto his vehicle rear, with the back of the blaster sliding into the spoiler.
