Exhaust piping is a means of venting waste heat and gasses from a vehicle. Some Transformers have exhaust piping that doubles as weaponry.
Generation One
- The sections of exhaust tubing on Hot Rod's forearms act as triple blasters, which he seems to prefer over his photon pistols. As they are powerful enough to take down a shuttle, this is understandable.
- Pipes's trademark weapons are his smokestacks. They're not just capable of venting normal exhaust, but can also emit corrosive gasses so strong they can completely destroy a two-inch-thick slab of steel in under ten minutes. However, even the slightest scratch in his own corrosion-resistant armor will allow his weapons to eat just as effectively through his own steel skin.
Unicron Trilogy
Cybertron
- Ransack's engine block can become a dual blaster when powered up with his Cyber Key. The exhaust pipes flip forward to become the barrels. His callout for this in the Japanese version is, in fact, "Exhaust Shot". Clocker has a similar weapon.
- Override's engine block does the same thing. While the Cyber Key is necessary to activate the weaponry on her toy, the cartoon is unclear as to whether the key activates the gun or just boosts the damage it does.
- Crumplezone's turbine exhausts flip forward to become his "Barium Bazookas" when he uses his Cyber Key.
