Spoilsport
- Spoilsport is a Nebulan Targetmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Spoilsport has a rather appropriate moniker, given that he spoils the fun of his partner Sureshot by being an equally good marksman. In a contest between an intelligent gun and an intelligent gunner, the gun gets a majority vote. His partner resents his interference, and in his turn, the Nebulan resents Sureshot for his lack of appreciation. It can't help that Sureshot is a jerk, of course, and presumably he never calls.

Spoilsport was part of Gort's group of rebel Nebulans. When Targetmaster technology was stolen from the Decepticons, Peacemaker chose to be paired with Sureshot. Shortly after the process was completed, he boasted to the Autobot leader Optimus Prime that there wasn't a target he couldn't hit (only for Pinpointer to outboast him). During the later battle against the Decepticons, Sureshot instructed him to blast the enemy, and he complied with pleasure. 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.

Toys
Generation 1
- Sureshot (Targetmaster, 1987)
- Japanese ID number: C-105
United
- Spoilsport (Targetmaster Micron, 3-05-2011)
- A redeco of Power Core Combiners Airlift, Spoilsport transforms into a double-barreled gun that can be held by any toy using 5mm weapon-mount points. He was only available as part of the Dark of the Moon "Movie Preview Campaign" at Bic Camera and Yodobashi Camera stores on March 5th, given away with the purchase of over 3000 yen worth of Transformers product.
- His instructions only show the hand-held mode (held by United Kup since there is no modern Sureshot for him to partner with), but as he is a Power Core Combiners Mini-Con mold, he can also be converted into a compact weapon meant for vehicle-mode use (attached by his Powerlinx socket), plus an "armor" mode that connects to a Power Core Combiners Commander toy's chest or back-mounted Powerlinx plug for use in either of their robot modes.
Notes
- Spoil's character model differs from Spoilsport's. Oddly, it does not seem to have ever been published anywhere, with new artwork by Ban Magami used in various Japanese publications alongside the models for the other 5 Targetmaster companions.
