Pulse cannon

The Autobots Broadside and Groundbreaker are both armed with pulse cannons.

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Broadside was armed with a pulse cannon in jet mode, which he could also use as a rifle in robot mode. Broadside's More than Meets the Eye profile Groundbreaker used a remote-controlled pulse cannon that could fly and operate on its own and which formed his primary armament in vehicle mode.

Notes

• Dreamwave' More than Meets the Eye profiles often switched up the names of weapons, sometimes just a little—such as adding the word "rifle" to the end of an existing weapon's name—and sometimes by substituting a completely different-sounding weapon entirely. The pulse cannon is an edge case; it may have been intended as a genericised upgrade to Groundbreaker's pulse blaster and/or Broadside's plasma-pulse gun, or it may have been created as a new weapon type intended to replace them both.
