Title:
Transformers G1 Dogfight Triggerbot
Description:
Dogfight (Triggerbot, 1988)
Dogfight transforms from robot to hypercritical-winged Grumman X-29 fighter jet. Activating his Triggerbot gimmick rotates his wings to a swept configuration, flipping over a pair of large cannons with a geared jackspring mechanism. In robot mode, this simply brings his arms up into a firing position.
Notes
It has been speculated that Dogfight was originally supposed to be a Triggercon, not a Triggerbot. His unchromed, geared-jackspring-activated guns line up with the two ground-based Triggercons, while the Decepticon flier Windsweeper’s chromed, spring-loaded guns (and less overtly-aggressive alternate mode) would make him seem a more likely match with the Autobots.
