Decelerator laser

The decelerator laser is a weapon from the Legends anthology portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Uh oh, SpaghettiOs!

When dealing with Wreck-Gar, everyone expects his energy axe. Few remember he carries a decelerator laser as well! Watch out, because getting caught in its beam can slow your cranium's processing speed to Tandy levels.

Fiction

Collect and Save

Wreck-Gar used his decelerator laser to score a direct hit to the forehead of the Recyclons' leader Salvage. Salvage was initially unaware that the weapon caused any damage until he tried to move and found he could only move in slow motion. His self-diagnostic revealed that the weapon slowed the cerebral impulses of his cybernetic brain.

The Recyclons successfully retreated from that battle and reverse engineered the decelerator laser's technology in time for their next battle with the Junkions. Collect and Save

Notes

• Wreck-Gar's decelerator laser follows The Transformers: The Movie's trend of giving themed lasers to its featured characters. Galvatron carries an electrochemical laser (it galvanizes, get it?), Kup carries a "musket laser" (it's old, get it?), and Wreck-Gar has a laser that, uh, makes you stupid (that old saw about "Too much TV rots your brain"). Not terribly flattering for ol' Wreck-Gar, considering.
