- Triggerhappy is a Decepticon Targetmaster in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Triggerhappy is a nutball. You get them in the Decepticons from time to time. He's generally found drooling and/or giggling wildly. Ever since an incident while surfing on his hoover board and firing at boot-camp, Triggerhappy fell off and hit his head, firing all the while, and ended up disintigrating half a dozen other Decepticons. The camp commander was impressed, and graduated him on the spot. Nobody is sure if it's an act, or if he suffered processor damage in the fall. What is known is that he pays very little attention to where he's shooting but LOVES the sound his gun makes when fired. Good idea arming him there, Megs.
Triggerhappy is binary-bonded with Blowpipe, the conniving, envious brother-in-law of Nebulan leader Mo Zarak

Generation 1
For some reason, when Scorponok was choosing troops who might enjoy becoming binary-bonded Targetmasters with more powerful weapons, he thought of Triggerhappy.
During the war on Earth, Triggerhappy got sick of Scorponok's command, especially after he let that maniac Starscream back into the Decepticons. Triggerhappy couldn't stand working with Starscream, so he and Mindwipe left Scorponok's Decepticons and joined Starscream's auxiliary army.
Wait. What?

His Targetmaster partner Blowpipe can be stored in a socket on the rear of the fighter, just in front of where his head is stored. Somewhat unusually, the entire cockpit nose is mounted on a bar that swings upward so the nose meets with the rear fuselage to form his upper torso. His large fighter cannons are swing up to the sides of his arms in robot mode, but the hinges aren't strong enough to deal with their weight and gravity, so they have a tendancy to flop down.
