A loner, the ninja-like '''Greatshot''' took a while to become an Autobot team player. Of course, even after he did, he still prefers to do things his own way.

Greatshot's six modes, ranging from robot to rhino, make him one of the most lethal warriors the Autobots have. Plus he ruffles <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gaihawk" title="Gaihawk">Gaihawk</a>'s feathers quite a bit.

* For a while, there was much [[Fandom|fandom]] speculation that Greatshot was an upgraded version of [[Sixshot]]. However, according the supplemental character [[Bio|bio]] included with Greatshot's toy, he is in fact a former compatriot of both Sixshot and [[Sixknight]], who in turn were all members of the "[[Six Clan]]" that "secretly rules over the galaxy". Uh... okay then! [http://megazarak.hp.infoseek.co.jp/japaspe/victory/c325.html] Still, there is at least one notable similarity between Sixshot and Greatshot, beyond them sharing the same base mold: they both had the [[Michihiro Ikemizu|same actor]], who voiced them both with a stereotypical "[[wikipedia:Samurai|samurai]] movie" dialect.
* The supplementary bio further states that Greatshot frequently carries out secret ninja missions, further tying him in with the "Ninja Staff Officer" Sixshot and the "Ninja Knight" Sixknight.
* The Greatshot mold was later retooled to make the heroic "Ninja Detective" '''Shadowmaru''' for Takara's ''[[Brave]] Police J-Decker'' toyline. Amusingly, while the other 5 forms are of standard size for the series (assuming 5 meters in robot mode), his size for gun mode was increased to the point that, in ''Transformers'' terms, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] could use him for an oversized rifle. Shadowmaru also had a prototype "brother", '''Kagerō''', who could only change into three forms. He was not produced as a toy.

Trivia
The ninja storm is growing! Shadowmaru is on the left.
For a while, there was much fandom speculation that Greatshot was an upgraded version of Sixshot. However, according the supplemental character bio included with Greatshot's toy, he is in fact a former compatriot of both Sixshot and Sixknight, who in turn were all members of the "Six Clan" that "secretly rules over the galaxy". Uh... okay then! [1] Still, there is at least one notable similarity between Sixshot and Greatshot, beyond them sharing the same base mold: they both had the same actor, who voiced them both with a stereotypical "samurai movie" dialect.
The supplementary bio further states that Greatshot frequently carries out secret ninja missions, further tying him in with the "Ninja Staff Officer" Sixshot and the "Ninja Knight" Sixknight.
The Greatshot mold was later retooled to make the heroic "Ninja Detective" Shadowmaru for Takara's Brave Police J-Decker toyline. Amusingly, while the other 5 forms are of standard size for the series (assuming 5 meters in robot mode), his size for gun mode was increased to the point that, in Transformers terms, Omega Supreme could use him for an oversized rifle. Shadowmaru also had a prototype "brother", Kagerō, who could only change into three forms. He was not produced as a toy.
