Cancer (G1)
From MediaWiki
- Cancer is a human and Decepticon Headmaster character in the Masterforce portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The unfortunately named Cancer is heir to a secret Chinese single-blow killing technique called the Super Dragon Fist (超竜拳), which involves kicking the opponent to death. Yes, you read that right. This fist-kick is powerful enough to even knock the Pretender Gilmer off his feet. Though he tries to keep a tough-guy image, he's really just a typical little kid, dying for attention. He has become the surrogate son of Mega, who dotes over him constantly. His best buddy is his little robot companion/handgun, Browning.

- Accessories: Cancer Headmaster unit, tail/shield, gun
- Cancer's transtector allegedly has a "crab mode", but it's more like a bipedal creature grew out of the underside of a crab, and wears the crustacean as a hat. His tail detaches into a handheld shield...mace...gun...whatever. There is a hatch in the erm, groin of the creature where one can store the Cancer Headmaster. In his groin.
- In robot mode, like all Headmaster toys, the transtector has a flip-down panel on his chest which covers a spring-loaded mini-Tech-Spec-meter which gives readouts for Speed, Strength and Intelligence. The tumblers are activated when Caner (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into the neck socket. Cancer has transtector's face plainly visible on his back because, as a smaller Headmaster toy, he lacks the flip-down panel featured on larger Headmasters.
- This mold was used for Squeezeplay in the U.S.
