'''Triggerhappy''' is a nutball. You get them in the Decepticons from time to time. He's generally found [[Humanizing|drooling]] and/or giggling wildly.

He remained firing all the while and ended up disintegrating half a dozen other Decepticons. The camp commander was impressed and graduated Triggerhappy on the spot. Nobody is sure if it's an act or if he suffered [[Flashdrive|processor]] damage in the fall.

Marvel Comics continuity
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?
IDW Comics continuity
Triggerhappy was part of the crew of the Thanatos, commanded by Razorclaw and the Predacons. He begrudgingly gave aid to Optimus Prime and the Wreckers while battling Thunderwing in order to preserve their home planet of Cybertron and show the Autobots how war was really done. Stormbringer issue 4
Toys
Generation 1
- Triggerhappy with Blowpipe (Targetmaster, 1987)
- Japanese ID number: D-88
- Accessories: Blowpipe Targetmaster gun
- Triggerhappy transforms into a blue Cybertronic fighter craft with large, dual off-white cannons on either side his body, looking a fair bit like an X-Wing fighter from Star Wars. 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 swing up to the sides of his arms in robot mode, but the hinges aren't strong enough to deal with their weight, so they have a tendency to flop down. Blowpipe can be held in Triggerhappy's hands.
Trivia
- For some reason Triggerhappy's character model in the comics and cartoon differs from that of his toy and package art. He has a faceplate in his fictional appearances, and normal eyes, giving him a ninja-like facies. His toy features a normal face with Nightbeat-style "shades".
