Sixshot (G1)
- Sixshot is a Decepticon six-changer in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sixshot murderous and ferociously intense in his dedication to his mission. Just about the only redeeming quality found in Sixshot, from an Autobot point-of-view, is his respect for those he's destroyed and sent before him to the "Great junkyard in the sky." Sixshot feels life is only worth living as long as there are enemies to pit himself against. Thankfully, his six forms and his function as a one robot S.T.A.G. (Solo Transformer Assault Group) give him plenty of opportunities for combat.
Fiction
Animated continuity
"The Rebirth" (USA)
- Voice actor: Neil Ross (US), Eiji Yanagisawa (Japan)
Sixshot didn't do very much in The Rebirth except transform six times at Galvatron's command. He used all 6 of his modes to effortlessly take-down each individual member of the Aerialbots.
Unlike in the Japanese fiction, when Sixshot transforms to his laser pistol mode, he shrinks down to a size small-enough for Cyclonus to fire him.
Headmasters (Japan)
- Voice actor: Michihiro Ikemizu (Japan)
Sixshot debuted with the function of "Decepticon City Ninja Commander". In this respect, he was something of an arch-enemy to Ultra Magnus. Sixshot was immensely powerful and soon usurped Cyclonus and Scourge as Galvatron's bestest fwend. Sixshot had a long, bloody history of being a scoundrel and a killer. Millions of years prior to his becoming Decepticon City Commander, Sixshot traveled to the planet Master and tried to rip-off a mining operation. One of the miners, Sappo, stood up to him and Sixshot brutally murdered him. Sappo happened to be a good friend of Chromedome's, however, this was before he underwent the Headmaster process and was too weak to stop Sixshot.
Sixshot would continue to plague Chromedome, as he later killed Chromedome's buddy, Jackal, and even went so far as to gun-down Ultra Magnus with his secret seventh-mode, Wingwolf.
Sixshot was never well-liked by Scorponok, and once Galvatron was out of the picture, Scorponok did his best to do away with Sixshot. After being deserted by Scorponok and the other Decepticons, Sixshot found himself stranded on a strange planet with Daniel. Sixshot revealed a softer side to Daniel and helped protect the young boy from the killer monsters inhabiting the planet.
Sixshot later left the Decepticons and helped take them down in the final battle on Earth. He said his goodbyes to Daniel, however, he did not immediately leave Earth like all the other Transformers.
Headmasters manga (Japan)
After the defeat of Mega Zarak, when all the other Decepticons were driven from the planet, Sixshot chose to blaze a new path in his life. Sixshot's next goal was to travel the galaxy and become the greatest warrior in the Universe, learning new transformations from various creatures. His first task was to stay on Earth and learn how to transform into a human being.
Dreamwave comics continuity
After Shockwave successfully created the Triple Changers, he sought to create an even more impressive warrior who could transform into an unprecedented six modes. However, Shockwave's short rule was ended by Megatron before his project could be unveiled, but a mysterious figure was seen examining the remains of Blitzwing...
(Dreamwave Productions went out of business and lost the Transformers license before Sixshot could be properly revealed.)
