'''Triggerhappy''' is a nutball. You get them in the Decepticons from time to time. He's generally found [[Humanization|drooling]] and/or giggling wildly. He's been that way ever since an incident at Decepticon boot camp, in which he was firing while surfing on his hover board, but fell off and hit his head. He remained firing all the while and ended up disintegrating half a dozen other Decepticons. The camp commander was impressed and graduated Triggerhappy on the spot. Nobody is sure if it's an act or if he suffered [[Flashdrive|processor]] damage in the fall. What is known is that he pays very little attention to where he's shooting but LOVES the sound his gun makes when fired. Good idea arming him there, [[Megatron (G1)|Megs]].

Triggerhappy was one of several Decepticon jets serving under [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] when they attacked [[Autobot City]] as part of a division while the Decepticon Clones stole the Key to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]. After Scourge successfully activated the chamber on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] (and inadvertently sent a shuttle full of Autobots and the key halfway across the galaxy), Triggerhappy, [[Misfire]] and [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] were among the Decepticon unit sent to retrieve the key. Following the Autobots to [[Nebulos]], Triggerhappy attacked the Autobums, welcoming them to the scrapyard that they would become should he succeed in destroying them. {{Storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

They're actually both looking for characterization.
Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Specifics: fictional appearances



Triggerhappy is a nutball. You get them in the Decepticons from time to time. He's generally found drooling and/or giggling wildly. He's been that way ever since an incident at Decepticon boot camp, in which he was firing while surfing on his hover board, but fell off and hit his head. He remained firing all the while and ended up disintegrating half a dozen other Decepticons. The camp commander was impressed and graduated Triggerhappy on the spot. Nobody is sure if it's an act or if he suffered processor damage in the fall. What is known is that he pays very little attention to where he's shooting but LOVES the sound his gun makes when fired. Good idea arming him there, Megs.

Triggerhappy is binary-bonded with Blowpipe, the conniving, envious brother-in-law of Nebulan leader Mo Zarak

Triggerhappy and his partners, Misfire and Slugslinger, were frequent opponents of the Autobot trio under Pointblank's command.

Triggerhappy was among the Decepticons serving under Scorponok on Cybertron, involved in a grudge match with the Autobot group led by Fortress Maximus. Ring of Hate When they followed the Autobots to Nebulos, Triggerhappy took part in an attack on the Nebulan City only to be beaten back by the new Autobot Headmasters.

Brothers in Armour Triggerhappy was part of a team sent to ambush a group of Autobot Headmasters but was beaten back when their Targetmaster comrades joined the battle. Worlds Apart

After the group travelled to Earth, Triggerhappy was part of a group of Decepticons who pursued Highbrow in order to recover Scorponok's head. Despite the intervention of Optimus Prime and the other Autobots, they succeeded. Triggerhappy was one of the few Decepticons in the group not to be shunted into limbo by the arrival of Soundwave and the Terrorcons from the future and so was around to join the alliance against Galvatron. He didn't seem that keen on the idea though and it only took a few poorly aimed shots from Ultra Magnus before Triggerhappy, Mindwipe and Snapdragon started using him for target practise. Time Wars

When Scorponok tried to form an alliance with Ratbat's Decepticons and ended up being attacked by the Predacons instead, Triggerhappy was among those who came to his rescue. Cold War During the war on Earth, Triggerhappy got sick of Scorponok's command, especially after he let that maniac Starscream back into the Decepticons. Triggerhappy couldn't stand working with Starscream, so he and Mindwipe left Scorponok's Decepticons and joined Starscream's auxiliary army.

Couldn't decide whether to come as Thundercracker or Skyquake.

Triggerhappy transforms into a blue Cybertronic fighter craft with large, dual off-white cannons on either side his body, looking a fair bit like an X-Wing fighter from Star Wars. His Targetmaster partner, Blowpipe, can be stored in a socket on the rear of the fighter, just in front of where his head is stored. Somewhat unusually, the entire cockpit nose is mounted on a bar that swings upward so the nose meets with the rear fuselage to form his upper torso. His large fighter cannons swing up to the sides of his arms in robot mode, but the hinges aren't strong enough to deal with their weight, so they have a tendency to flop down. Blowpipe can be held in Triggerhappy's hands.
