Blowpipe (ROTF)

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

Blowpipe is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.

Guess red really does contrast blue.

Blowpipe just loves to tinker with himself. Fascinated by Earth technology, he and Ratchet spend a lot of time incorporating high-performance racing machinery into his systems. This relentless self-modification has resulted in a robot that's far stronger and faster than he appears at first glance.

He's particularly eager to test his nitro-boosted speed against the Decepticon messenger Sideways.

  • Accessories: Claw/plier weapon

Blowpipe is a redeco of the first film's Dropkick toy, in blue and gray as an homage to Generation 1 Pipes. He transforms into a customized Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck (or a similar model just different enough to avoid paying a licensing fee). His flatbed cover conceals a giant claw/plier deployed from the tailgate by a sliding knob on top. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode. He also has (non-firing) twin blasters on the underside of each forearm in robot mode. Blowpipe was only available in a Walmart exclusive two-pack with the darker version of Sideways.

This mold was also used to make Movie Salvage.
