While the majority of Transformers—particularly those engaged in the Great War—will deploy lethal weaponry, others are content to use stun weapons to incapacitate their opponents instead. These can work in a variety of ways, with examples including:

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Finback was armed with a rifle that fired viscous slime capable of ensnaring and stunning its targets. Finback's More than Meets the Eye profile In all three modes Sky High wielded a cerebro circuit-scrambling stun gun that could also jam radio frequencies. Sky High's More than Meets the Eye profile In base mode, Spaceshot and Blackout's all-terrain tank had a scout vehicle component that was armed with a stun cannon. Spaceshot's More than Meets the Eye profile Rollout's Targetmaster partner Glitch was armed with a stun gun and a photon blaster. Rollout's More than Meets the Eye profile

Toys

Only toys that are explicitly listed as having (or being) "stun weapons" are listed here.
