Revision as of 05:33, 31 October 2007
- Scattershot is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
That's it, baby. Reveal my true allegiance. Aw yeah.
Scattershot needs no desktop generals or academy-trained slag skimmers to tell him how to fight. He just wades into a Decepticon patrol and doesn't come out until he's broken all his crayons and scribbled all over the mazes he couldn't solve. Then he puts down the coloring books and does the same thing to a hostile Decepticon force, only with guns and acid pellets instead of crayons. That's what he calls "strategy". Though Scattershot forms the main body of the giant Computron, if his own mind holds any fragment of the thoughtful titan's slow, considered approach, he hides it very well.
Grimlock would certainly like his style, and even the tin-plated bucketheads that think he's a blustering buffoon must admit that Scattershot is uniquely tough, the sort that Rollbar would say "broke the mold he was poured in". He won't stop fighting until he's utterly spent, down to his last microjoule of energy and drop of energon. He expects no less from the Technobots under his command.

Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Scattershot was one of the Autobots who left Cyberton aboard the Steelhaven in order to start a new life away from war (and perhaps from tin-plated bucketheads). But the Decepticons followed them to their new home on Nebulos. Scattershot and the other Technobots repelled a Terrorcon attack on the resort city Splendora before all of the Transformers left Nebulos.
Animated continuity
The Technobots were created by Grimlock as a countermeasure to the new Decepticon Terrorcons, using the heightened intelligence he (Grimlock) had gained through an accident. Once their bodies had been built, Grimlock transferred his powerful intellect into them, returning to his original intelligence settings. Grimlock's New Brain
Later stationed in Autobot City on Earth, the Technobots helped EDC captain Marissa Faireborne track down a Quintesson base within the solar system, with the help (and occasional hindrance) of the smuggler Dirk Manus. Money is Everything
The Technobots were present for the attack on Autobot City where the Decepticons stole the key to the plasma energy chamber.
Headmasters animated series (Japan)
Headmasters manga
The Technobots, created with the help of the human scientist Dalton, faced off against the Terrorcon Abominus, but it was a trap set by Galvatron. Forcing Abominus to split into his components, the individual Terrorcons spat a mind-controlling substance at Computron. Before Galvatron could get far with his new warrior, Spike Witwicky came to the Technobot’s rescue in an exo-suit, firing a beam into Computron’s eyes that removed the mind-controlling effect.
IDW comics continuity
Scattershot was second in command of the science vessel Calabi-Yau, working under Jetfire. It was during this period that their ship encountered the rare Ultra Energon on the abandoned Cybertron. In contrast to his usual action-oriented style, it was Scattershot who was the voice of caution on the mission to investigate. It was advice that should have been heeded as the team was attacked by Bludgeon's rogue Decepticons. Scattershot himself was impaled by Bomb-Burst during the attack. Stormbringer, part 1 Like the other Technobots, Scattershot was in the process of being cannibalized for parts when a recovery team arrived. Stormbringer, part 1 In a desparate battle against the super-powerful Thunderwing, it was the Technobots' brains that saved the day, by uncovering the clues to defeat the juggernaught. Scattershot remained on Cybertron to further investigate. Stormbringer, part 4
Toys
Generation 1
- Scattershot (Technobot leader, 1987)
- Team ID number: TK5
- Japanese ID number: C-86
- Scattershot transforms into a big red and white space cruiser with a gi-normous cannon, and has a secondary stationary-cannon mode. Mis-transforming Scattershot into robot mode results in Hilarious Cannon-Related Improprieties(TM). His rubsign is also hilariously placed in robot mode. One known variant has no rubsign indent...that's probably for the best.
- He forms the central body of the giant robot Computron, combining with Lightspeed, Nosecone, Afterburner and Strafe in the Scramble City manner. He was available both separately and in a gift set with the other four Technobots.
Trivia
- Apparently the guy who made Scattershot's animation models never saw the actual toy. Due to the isometric view of his front model sheet the front of his vehicle mode is drawn behind his left shoulder. The back model takes this literally, placing the nose between his chest and left arm. The model also give him a third, upside-down shoulder where the nose should be.
