Who cares if I turn into a gun? I have a BIG KNIFE.

Zigzag is a Nebulan hovercraft mechanic whose incompetence left vehicles in worse shape than when he started on them, making him the object of derision among his co-workers. He joined the Decepticons in order to get revenge on his tormentors. Now partnered with Sunbeam and the Decepticon Needlenose, he's still the object of ridicule, but at least now he has something more convincing as a retort than just profanity.

Needlenose (apparently) became a Targetmaster at some point and carried Zigzag into the fight with Nightbeat and his allies as part of the Mayhem Attack Squad. Cheap Shots

Generation 1

• Needlenose (Targetmaster, 1988)

Zigzag transforms into a gun that be wielded by Needlenose in robot mode or attached under one of his wings in jet mode. Like all "double" Targetmaster Nebulans, he has a very simple transformation, and can combine with Sunbeam to form a larger weapon.

No version of this character or mold was released in Japan.

Notes

• According to Needenose's Universe profile, "Zigzag" is a code name he chose for himself.
• Zigzag and Singe's handles end up between their feet, rather than mounted on their chests like the other Double Targetmaster weapons.
