Fiction
The Headmasters manga
In an Earth, the Decepticon Targetmasters, Slugslinger, Misfire and Triggerhappy, set a blazing inferno. Chromedome and Daniel were having trouble controling the fire when Ricochet and Artfire, accompanied by their partners Nightstick and Nightstick (not to be confused with Nightstick), showed up to help. Nightstick and Ricochet quickly aided their Autobot chums in the quenching of the blaze. With the fire under control, the Autobots then set their attentions on the Decepticons and sent them into a retreat.

- Stepper (Targetmaster, 1987)
- Japanese ID number: C-109
- Nightstick is identical to Cyclonus' Targetmaster partner, also named Nightstick, transforming into a single-barrelled non-firing hand-cannon. In gun mode, Nebulon (as he was originally called) can peg into Stepper's car mode spoiler, or can attach to a separate bracket that mounted over his robot-mode shoulder. He was only available with Stepper, a then-Japan-only addition to the Headmasters series.
- Ricochet w/ Nightstick (Targetmaster, 2003)
- Japanese ID number: TFC-15
- For the 2003 reissue of Stepper/Ricochet both stateside and in Japan, Nightstick was retooled with a slender peg extension to allow Ricochet to actually hold him in his hand.
