Peacemaker
- Peacemaker is a Nebulan Targetmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Peacemaker is an upbeat, almost contagiously positive Nebulan police officer. He keeps trying to cheer up his Autobot partner Pointblank to little result. Pointblank doesn't feel the Autobots should have involved the Nebulans in the war to begin with, and so disapproves of his partner and his advice on principle. Those who know him, though, say that Peacemaker has actually made progress in improving the dour Autobot's world view. Not a lot of progress, mind you... Thankfully Peacemaker knows how to be patient, loves a challenge, and is firm in his belief that optimism leads to success.

Peacemaker was the default leader of a group of Nebulans who, at great risk to themselves, joined the outlawed Autobots during Zarak and Scorponok's reign of terror on Nebulos. After undergoing the bio-engineering process that allowed them to transform into replacement weapons, they partnered with the six Autobots who had surrendered their weapons some months earlier. Peacemaker partnered with Pointblank, who was likewise the acting commander of the Autobots in the absence of Fortress Maximus. Peacemaker explained that The Nursery, Nebulos's leading agricultural research center, was under threat of takeover by the Decepticons; this news prompted the Autobots to roll out to defend it.
Peacemaker and fellow Nebulans were getting a guided tour of the Nursery from head botanist Selani when Scorponok arrived with the Terrorcons in tow. The six Nebulans transformed to their new weapon forms, and the Autobot Targetmasters unleashed their new firepower. Though the group fared well enough, the Autobots ended up retreating to spare the Nursery utter destruction from the battle. Brothers in Armor!!
Peacemaker accompanied Pointblank to Earth, and was present on the Targetmasters' first mission on that world. He was, along with his partners, introduced to Sparkplug Witwicky by Spike, Fortress Maximus's new binary bond partner. Later, Pointblank wielded him in weapons mode as the group stormed the Decepticons' island base, only to be forced into retreat by the island's hidden defenses. The Desert Island of Space!

Peacemaker was part of Gort's group of rebel Nebulans. When Targetmaster technology was stolen from the Decepticons, Peacemaker chose to be paired with Pointblank. Shortly after the process was completed, he greeted the Autobot leader Optimus Prime to the planet by introducing himself. The Rebirth, Part 2 Like the rest of the Nebulan rebels, he accompanied the Autobots back to Cybertron and helped to defeat the Decepticons and bring about a new Golden Age on the planet.

The Headmasters cartoon
Peacemaker and his five friends were refugees, having fled their home planet of Master when Scorponok and the Decepticons began an all-out siege on the world. They were being chased through space in their starship by the Decepticons when they came across the Battleship Maximus. Fortress gave them safe haven aboard his starship, and the Master citizens attempted to show their gratitude by removing the deadly plasma energy bombs Fortress was trying to dispose of. Their efforts came too late, however, as the plasma energy bombs exploded aboard their ship in space, bathing everyone nearby with energy. Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)
Peacemaker survived the explosion, and in fact underwent a miraculous transformation. He and two of his fellow refugees were each now binary bonded to one of the Autobot warriors who had been trying to save them when the plasma bombs went off. The smaller Master warriors could each transform into a powerful weapon and fuse with their larger partner's fist, creating Targetmasters. Peacemaker and his new partner Pointblank became soldiers together under Fortress's command. Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)
