- Heater is a Decepticon-allied Nebulan Targetmaster from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
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
The Transformers
- Quake (Targetmaster, 1988)
- Known designers: Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)
- 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 Tiptop (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.
Legacy
- G1 Universe Quake, G1 Universe Heater, G1 Universe Tiptop (Deluxe Class, 2024)
- Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Tomoki Tatsumi (TakaraTomy)[1]
- Included with Legacy: United G1 Universe Quake, "G1 Universe Heater" functions just like his original figure, transforming into a blaster for Quake to wield, and can also combine with "G1 Universe Tiptop" to form a larger blaster. He retains both of the molded "accessories" of his original figure... and the complete lack of articulation of his original figure.
- Heater was revealed by Preternia.com alongside Quake and Tiptop on June 11, with pre-orders going live the same day.
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 U.S. 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.
