Toys

The Transformers

• Camshaft (Omnibot, 1985)

• Accessories: neutron blaster, 2 rockets

According to his instructions, The Transformers Camshaft's ranged weapon in his third "attack mode" was a plasma beam projector that could fire rockets. He could also use this weapon in robot mode.

Notes

• It's unclear how a plasma beam projector fires rockets.
• Camshaft's unpublished Marvel Universe profile mentions his plasma beam projector, giving it a range of 2 miles.
• As with the other Omnibots, Camshaft's weapons tend to vary between micro-continuities: in the Tech Specs accompanying his original Generation 1 Japanese release the plasma beam projector was called an RX missile launcher (bearing in mind that Camshaft and Downshift switched names in Japan); and his Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile replaces it with a white noise scrambler.
