Ricochet (Timelines)

The name or term "Ricochet" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ricochet (disambiguation).

Ricochet is an Autobot from a Timelines addition to the Generation 1 continuity family.

FACT: Ricochet is not a mammal.

The impressive physical acumen of Ricochet is legendary.

Seriously, it's literally legendary. Mostly because Ricochet can't prove it. But he talks a good game, that's for sure! Certainly he's excellent at the precision at which he attends to the menial tasks he's given, but if anyone's resume has been... fluffed, it's his. Others have learned to roll their eyes at his grand stories, and when he tells them that the clamp on his right arm isn't just used for filing, but is actually a cadmium jacketed missile launcher, no one's sure if he's lying or if he's genuinely deluded.

• Descent into Evil (multi-pack, 2005)
  • Accessories: Missile

Ricochet is a black and black redeco of the Generation 2 Hooligan mold, transforming into a concept Navlized swing-wing Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. He can fire missiles from his launcher arm using a pressure-launch method, accessible in both vehicle and robot modes. He can also store missiles on his other forearm or the underside of his jet mode. He was only available only as part of BotCon 2005's "Descent into Evil" set (along with Buzzclaw, Chromia, Deathsaurus, Dirge, Fallback, and Ironhide).

This mold was also used for the Cyberjet version of Jetfire, Robot Masters R-Blade, and Universe Wind Sheer.
