Null-ray
- The null-ray is a weapon from the Generation 1 continuity family
One of Starscream's signature weapons, the null-ray is capable of stopping any electrical device with one shot, be it human or Transformer.
Except Megatron. All a blast from the null-ray does is make him angry. It doesn't work on the Dinobots either, but they were already pissed at Screamer.
