| The name or term "Stepper" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Stepper (disambiguation). |
- Stepper is an evil Autobot Targetmaster wannabe from the "Shattered Glass" continuity family.
Stepper coveted his brother Ricochet's sweet Targetmaster partner, so he made one of his own. But Nebulon is not a real partner, but an extremely low-tech drone which Stepper passes off as a sentient partner through masterful ventriloquism. He also teams up with Drift to ward off interdimensional intruders.
Fiction
Shattered Glass
Long ago, Stepper helped thwart a coup against Optimus Prime orchestrated by his brother Ultra Magnus. As Stepper and Jetfire held Magnus down, Optimus Prime ripped off the would-be usurper's face. Invasion
Toys
Timelines
- Cybertron's Most Wanted (BotCon 2015 box set figure)
- Accessories: Blaster, two speakers, Targetmaster "Nebulon"
- Shattered Glass Stepper is a redeco of 2010 Transformers Deluxe Special Ops Jazz. His Targetmaster partner Nebulon is a redeco of Universe Nightstick, which originally came with Deluxe Cyclonus. Stepper transforms from an orange sports car to a robot and back. Stepper has deployable speakers in both robot and vehicle mode,[1] and his rifle is an update of Jazz's Classic Pretender weapon. The speakers can also combine with his rifle via clips to form a super rifle, or they can be used on any other clip-compatible Transformers toy.
- This mold was also redecoed into heroic United Stepper and Shattered Glass Longarm, and the mold's alternate head was used to make Treadshot. It was also retooled to make Generations Wheelie and Timelines Kick-Over, and was intended to be retooled into Generations Nightbeat, who ended up as a retool of an entirely different sculpt instead.
- Stepper will come with Packrat, Battletrap, Megatron, and Oilmaster.
Notes
- Stepper originally appeared in BotCon 2012's "Invasion" comic book. Dan Khanna intended this to be an appearance for Longarm, but his art was instead colored like a variant of Ricochet for reasons unknown then. Three years later, Pete Sinclair revealed this was intentional, having planned the Stepper toy for three years. Hmm...sure[2]
