Stun weapon
While the majority of Transformers—particularly those engaged in the Great War—will deploy lethal weaponry, others are content to use stun weapons to incapacitate their opponents instead. These can work in a variety of ways, with examples including:
- Finback's metal-corroding stun rifle, which stuns its targets with slime
- Pincher's 20 megavolt stun rifle, which stuns its targets with metal-fusing energon
- Sky High's impulse scrambling stun gun
- Grimlock's "stunner" lasers
- The Anti-Aircraft Base's heat-seeking stun laser
