ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: TECHNOBOT
FUNCTION: TECHNOBOT LEADER
FIRST APPEARANCE: HEADMASTERS # 1
"Decepticons
are like rust spots - they're ugly and they can pop up
anywhere!"
Profile:
Scattershot leads by his actions, not his words. This
brawling, bragging berserker's idea of strategy is to
wade into a Decepticon patrol with all barrels blazing
and not withdraw until he's out of ammo or out of
enemies, whichever comes first. And he expects his
followers to do the same. Anyone who disapproves of his
tactics he considers a "tin-plated buckethead."
At times, given his rude, gruff manner, Scattershot seems
more like a caricature of a career soldier than a real
one. But this blustery, often comical demeanor can't
disguise the valiant warrior underneath - one who will
shed his last drop of fuel, if necessary, for the Autobot
cause.
Abilities:
More than any single ability, Scattershot is known for
his stamina. He'll continue fighting even after his
joints are wracked by metal fatigue. In vehicle mode,
he's equipped with a powerful 700 megavolt pulse cannon
in his nosecone. Wing-, side- and turret-mounted guns
shoot an awesome array of sonic, thermal and artillery
shells. He can fly at a maximum speed of 1,900 mph, with
a range of 10,000 miles. In battle station mode, he can
utilize the same weaponry with even more precision once
he deploys his omni-directional radar screens. In robot
mode, he carries a 500 rounds-per-minute automatic
acid-pellet gun, which can turn an enemy robot into a
pile of slag in a matter of moments. With his fellow
Technobots, Scattershot combines to form the super-robot Computron.
Weaknesses:
Aside from collapsing due to exhaustion because he's
pushed himself beyond the point of endurance, Scattershot
has no specific weaknesses.
