- Dropshot is an Autobot from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Dropshot is not a very lucky robot. He's a dedicated warrior, to be sure, but he's not very good at avoiding injury. At least he's been lucky enough that his parts were always salvageable and his spark has yet to be extinguished.
Fiction
Dreamwave comics continuity
Armada
Dropshot was stationed on Cybertron with Jetfire, and accompanied him to the Decepticon headquarters to investigate a space bridge anomaly above Cybertron. While exploring the abandoned halls, he was cut in two by the Unicron herald Bludgeon. The injury was apparently not fatal and his parts were recovered. Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4
Energon
Ten years later, during the worldwide Terrorcon assault on Earth, Dropshot, Overload, and Ironhide were stationed at Base Site One in Canada's Yukon Territory, where their equipment included a planetary shield generator. Base Site 1 had lost contact with Cybertron, which would put the Autobots' countermeasures in jeopardy. While Overload suspected the Terrorcons may have something to do with their problem, Dropshot noted it could just as easily be an equipment malfunction. Multiplicity, Pt. 3
The arrival of Scorponok confirmed Overload's theory. Overload and Dropshot were quickly put out of commission, leaving Ironhide alone to face Scorponok... and Megatron! No Exit
Toys
- No toy of Dropshot was ever released. However, his character model was based on an unreleased Generation 1 Triple Changer toy whose prototype is seen in the Japanese Transformers Generations book. The toy transformed from robot to F-15 fighter jet to a horse, though it looks a bit more like a llama. The toy may have been developed to be a carded toy rather than boxed like the other triple changers; according to the book, its robot mode was only 10 centimeters (roughly 4 inches) tall!
