Pulse demagnetizer

The Decepticon Action Master Treadshot may no longer be able to transform into a gun, which is why he carries a pulse demagnetizer that can combine with Catgut to form a fusion-powered particle blaster (with pulse demagnetizer attachment).

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Treadshot wielded a pulse demagnetizer rifle which could connect to Catgut's particle blaster mode. Treadshot's More than Meets the Eye profile

Toys

The Transformers

• Treadshot with Catgut (Action Master, 1990)
  • Accessories: pulse demagnetizer

The Transformers Action Master Treadshot came with a black weapon, identified in his instructions as a pulse demagnetizer... kind of, see below.

Notes

It actually looks like this.

• Treadshot's instructions identify his weapon as a pulse demagnetizer (as confirmed in his packaging bio) however they depict a completely different weapon to the one in his package art and that came with the toy, which was shown in Soundwave's instructions instead. As a result, several toy information websites and identification guides (including Generations and the photograph to the right) depict Treadshot with Soundwave's photon negator, using Soundwave's instructions as reference, even though the weapon in Treadshot's instructions doesn't look much like Soundwave's weapon either.
