Blowpipe (G1)


 * Blowpipe is a Nebulan Targetmaster partnered with the Decepticon Triggerhappy

The coniving brother-in-law of Lord Zarak, Blowpipe managed the political campaign that brought him and kept him in power. While a smooth political operator with endless connections, Blowpipe lacks the physical presence and style of a leader, causing him to resent his brother-in-law for taking all the glory when did all the "real" work.

Treating combat like he would a political campaign, Blowpipe plots and plans things in advance, leaving nothing to chance, which puts him at odds with his binary bonded partner Triggerhappy, whose idea of combat tactics is to wave his gun around randomly as fast as he can and shoot really, realy fast.

Generation 1

 * Triggerhappy with Blowpipe (Targetmaster, 1987)
 * Blowpipe transforms into a gun with single large and smaller secondary barrel. Blowpipe's transformation, like Caliburst's, is slightly more involved than many Targetmasters weapons, his gun barrel is a seperate piece that plugs into his back, once his legs are folded up the barrel has to be snapped into place where the legs were, the resulting weapon longer than many of the other first year Targetmasters. Blowpipe could be placed in either Triggerhappy's hands or on top of his vehicle mode.
