• Decepticon Dropshot (Voyager, 2008)
  • Accessories: 2 missiles, rifle, Earth-style Cyber Key

Part of the second wave of Universe Voyagers, "Decepticon Dropshot" is a redeco of Cybertron Defense Scattorshot, transforming into a TOS-1 Buratino multiple-launch rocket system. The halves of the (non-firing) launcher end up on his arms in robot mode. In either mode, inserting a Cyber Planet Key in each half reveals a new weapon: one side has a pull-out double spring-loaded missile launcher, while the other has a flip-out non-firing blaster barrel. He also comes with an extra long hand-held rifle that can be mounted in tank mode thanks to his Mini-con-compatible Powerlinx plugs.

His box photo shows an opaque-brown Earth Key with tan paint. The toy actually comes with an entirely unpainted transparent-brown Earth Key.

This mold was also used to make Universe Overload and Timelines Flak.

Trivia

• Dropshot's toy has tech spec numbers and a general attitude that indicates he was likely intended to be the original Micromaster Dropshot. However his only fiction appearance is in a continuity in which that'd be extremely unlikely, since that other Dropshot exists elsewhere concurrently under odd circumstances. It's happened before.
