Gunbarrel (Movie)

The name or term "Gunbarrel" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Gunbarrel (disambiguation).

Gunbarrel is a Decepticon from the 2007 movie franchise portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

In his headcanon he has more head cannons.

Gunbarrel isn't a personality bot. He rarely says a word, but he loves to blast everything he can, giving Brawl a run for his money. He uses his brain module to aim at targets at a distance, yet he wants to remove it entirely to add another cannon on his head. Many Autobots who face him are lucky his imagination and intelligence aren't equal to his firepower.

Fiction

IDW Transformers movie comics

Sent to Earth by Soundwave, Gunbarrel (along with Reverb) was one of the Decepticons working under Fracture, who was nice enough to find an alternate mode for him at an Italian military base. After scanning, the Decepticons destroyed the installation. Alliance issue 3

Reverb and Gunbarrel were eventually hunted down and destroyed by the Autobots and their human allies. Alliance issue 4

Due to space constraints, Reverb and Gunbarrel do not actually appear in Alliance issue 4, but their deaths are reported by Ironhide.

Toys

Transformers (2007)

Like Brawl, but winterfresh!

• Gunbarrel (Scout)
  • Accessories: Dual cannon/radar Energon weapon (combiner foot/hand), Decepticon-style Energon star

Part of the canceled fifth wave of Target exclusive Movie series Scouts along with Backtrack and Reverb, Gunbarrel is a redeco of the Energon Blight/Kickback sculpt, transforming into an anti-aircraft tank similar to a Gepard. He could also have formed the arm or leg to any Energon combiner team super robot — though no super robot torsos actually came out during the original live-action movie toyline, and his packaging makes no mention of the toy's ability to combine.

He includes a dual cannon/radar accessory that formed a hand or footplate for his non-advertised limb-modes, plus a greenish-blue Decepticon-style Energon star that can attach to most Energon toys.

In early 2010, about two years after the first samples had surfaced, considerable quantities of the three unreleased Scouts were sold on eBay. Each of them came packaged with two instruction sheets, one in English and one in Spanish, suggesting that the batch was initially intended for the Mexican market. However, based on information from Mexican fans, the toys never actually made it to retail there.

This sculpt was also used to make the Fun Publications Transformers Collectors' Club-exclusive toy Landquake and Universe (2008) Bruticus Maximus team members Blast Off and Brawl who double as Revenge of the Fallen Blast Off and Brawl.

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.
