Sights (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 Autobot. For the Animated Autobot, see Sights (Animated).

Sights is an Autobot Action Master partner from the Generation 1 continuity family.

The bird is the nerd.

Sights is constantly on the lookout for anything that might enable his partner, Jackpot, to turn a seemingly-impossible feat into reality... and rack up the credits on the bets Jackpot placed on himself. When luck isn't enough, Sights can transform into a "photon cannon" that can connect to and exponentially amplify the power of Jackpot's own photon rifle.

"I transform, and then with me you can see the sights! Geddit? Oh ... please yourself, then."

• Jackpot with Sights (Action Master, 1990)

Sights is a mechanical bird with a simple spring-loaded transformation into a "photon cannon" mode that can be held by any Action Master figure. In this mode, he can attach any normal Action Master rifle to the end of his cannon to form a super weapon; in bird-mode he also has a peg-hole to mount any Action Master rifle on his back. His bird-mode feet are removable.

He was available only with Jackpot.

Raider Sights, Air Force-Artillery is one of fifty-two double-sided character cards available in Wave 4 of the Transformers Trading Card Game, War for Cybertron: Siege II. As a Battle Master, Raider Sights, Air Force-Artillery begins the game in Bot Mode. Instead of being sent to the KO Area once his Health drops to zero, the card is flipped to the Upgrade side, becoming the Multi-Maneuver Glider Wings, and equipped in the Weapons slot of another character on the player's side of the battlefield . In order to represent Vanguard's size as a Battle Master, the card is the size of a battle card, about half the size of a normal character card.

This version of Sights is depicted as being aligned with the Decepticons, unlike the original Autobot-aligned Action Master partner.

The card features original artwork, with line-art for both sides by Dan Khanna and colors by Alex Tarca.

Notes

• The Action Master partner robots were given the "Targetmaster" classification retroactively by Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile series.
