This article is about a character or concept whose name has never been officially confirmed. |
- "Dropshot" is an evil and somewhat incompetent Autobot from the "Shattered Glass" continuity family.
"Dropshot" is a security guard for Optimus Prime. Not, it has to be said, a particularly good security guard.
Fiction
Shattered Glass
Dropshot was charged with the incredibly important task of guarding sector seven of the Ark's launching platform. However, he neglected to notice Razorclaw sneaking up on him, and was promptly decapitated for his trouble. Shattered Glass
Notes
- Dropshot is not explicitly named in the story, but he shares a body design with Armada Dropshot. Both characters also share a certain "redshirt" quality.
- He guards sector seven. Coincidentally, there is a movieverse organisation with the same name.
Toys
If Armada Dropshot's unreleased toy had been released then it's most likely that a BotCon exclusive redeco of that toy would have been released as Shattered Glass Dropshot. Though if it had been released, it would probably have been released years earlier as a Generation 1 Triple Changer under a different name, rendering its cameos as "Dropshot" in the Armada comic and Shattered Glass meaningless. In that alternate timeline, Dropshot would probably resemble the other unreleased Diaclone triple changer with jet and helicopter altmodes, though Butterfly Effect-style chaos theory implies that none of this is certain.
In short—there's no toy, but here's a picture of what it might have looked like. In slightly different colours.
