Transformers Universe Decepticon

Sixshot

Allegiance: Decepticon

Function: S.T.A.G. (Solo Transformer Assault Group)

"Life is worth living only as long as there are enemies worth destroying."

Profile: A vile, nasty murderous sort who carries out his job with ferocious intensity. Only redeeming quality is he speaks well of those he's sent to "the great junkyard in the sky," his phrase for destruction.

Abilities: Has 6 forms: robot, armored carrier (with twin laser batteries), ramming-tank (with infra-red rangefinder and target tracker), jet-propelled laser pistol, star fighter (maximum speed: 80,000 mph; range: .8 million miles), and wolf-creature modes. Only the wolf creature has no need for Sixshot's 2 hypersonic concussion blasters, the wolf mode prefers to rip apart enemy Autobots with his razor fang

The Transformer Sixshot (robot/armoured car/anti-aircraft tank/jet/gun/winged wolf) was one of the few Transformers who appeared in Japanese and American continuities, yet whose personality was quite different in the two. He was the first single Transformer to have six unique modes.

Cartoon Bio (US):

In Sixshot's first appearance, he managed to take out the Aerialbots single-handedly in a matter of seconds. He was called a "one robot army " by Galvatron.

Cartoon Bio (Japan):

Sixshot fired his opening salvo by attacking cities in his different forms baffling the Cybertrons. A merciless Destron warrior with the ability to make holograms of himself, he clashed with the Cybertrons many times. He is the sole person responsible for killing Ultra Magnus.

Sometime later, Sixshot and Daniel were stranded on a planet that proved to have a dangerous environment. Sixshot protected the young boy and the two became friends. During the final battle on Earth between the Destrons and Cybertrons, Sixshot started to question his master's plans and his loyalty to the Destrons. In the end, he turned on the Destrons, saving Daniel and Wheelie from Flywheels and Menasor. With the Destron weapon and Megazarak's body both destroyed, Sixshot remained with the Cybertrons. It is unknown what happened to him, but in the Victory series, a character named Greatshot is introduced. Although he greatly resembles Sixshot, it was never stated if he was Sixshot or not. [Ed: Perhaps he was related somehow?]
