Lightning rifle
Tentakil's dual slime lasers have helped him defeat many an Autobot. But since Piranacon already has a more potent and way grosser slime gun, Tentakil has to settle for transforming into a double-barreled lightning rifle in Targetmaster mode that fires 50,000V bolts of electricity. Meanwhile, the Predacon Rampage carries a more powerful 60,000V lightning rifle, which must really tick Tentakil and Piranacon off.
