Zapmaster is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

<div style="border: 1px solid black; float: right; width: 150px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px;background:white;"> <div style="text-align: center;">Have you seen me?</div> <img alt="" src="/w2/images2/thumb/3/37/Soon-silhouette.jpg/150px-Soon-silhouette.jpg" width="150" height="214" border="0" /><br /> <sub>This character needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.</sub>


</div> Zapmaster will attack just about anything head-on, no matter how big and overpowering it may be. "Fear" doesn't ever seem to register in his brain. He lived in the Wastelands of Cybertron for who-knows-how-long, which turned him into the vicious little bugger he is today.


Toys

Armada

  • Thundercracker with Zapmaster (Max-Con, 2003)
A redeco of Armada Swindle mold, Zapmaster transforms into an F-1 race car. He is designed to fit between Thundercracker's flip-out missile launchers, and can also be clipped on the underside of Thundercracker's jet-mode cockpit, deployed by pressing down on the canopy.
This mold is similar to, but not the same as, the mold used to make Armada Mirage and Top Gear.
  • Thundercracker with Zapmaster (Built To Rule, 2003)
For the Hasbro Built to Rule building block system, Zapmaster was a simple redeco of the small, building-block-based version of Swindle. This toy can be rebuilt from robot mode into something kind of vaguely resembling a race car. Sort of.

Energon

  • Prowl with Longarm & Starscream with Zapmaster (Multi-pack, 2004)
Zapmaster got redecoed again, as sort of a reverse-Swindle, as part of the Sam's Club exclusive Energon multi-pack. This time he was partnered with Starscream, who also came with Prowl and his "reassigned" Mini-Con partner Longarm.



Trivia

  • In Japan, the Armada Thundercracker/Zapmaster set was actually used (with ever-so-slight plastic tweaks) as the powered-up versions of Starscream and Swindle rather than new characters.
