Title:
Sixshot
Description:
Sixshot (1987, 2002)
Japanese ID number: D-98
Accessories: 2 hypersonic concussion blasters
Unprecedented in his time, Sixshot transforms into six distinct modes: robot, tank, spaceship, laser gun, off-road vehicle, and wolf. Each mode features its own dedicated parts, including a springing trigger for his gun mode, though Sixshot is a complete brick, with articulation only in his shoulders. Evidently not thinking that six was enough, the production staff of the Headmasters animated series even created an absurd seventh mode—called ”Wingwolf”— by fiddling around with the toy, placing it in a mid-transformation form that combines various portions of its different modes in one.Highlighting his landmark number of modes, Sixshot’s instructions were sealed by a sticker, challenging the owner to figure out all the toy’s modes without help. While not too hard with the packaging photos to help, the photos on the back of the box and the instructions themselves (and this wiki, above) actually managed to get the car mode wrong, neglecting to include the additional rotation of the arms necessary to complete it. There is also a pair of extra holes inside Sixshot’s legs into which his hypersonic concussion blasters can fit. Concept art shows this was the intended location for the weapons in gun mode, but the instructions and photos place them on the outside of the legs, in the same position as tank mode, which in turn was how the gun mode appeared in Sixshot’s character models for his fictional appearances.Sixshot was not released in the UK, although Quickswitch would see a release the following year. The toy was later reissued in Japan in 2002 without changes, in a reproduction of his original packaging. Sixshot was also released as part of the Super-God Masterforce toyline a year after the Headmasters line, despite not appearing in the series itself.This mold was retooled to make Greatshot, which was later used as the basis for the non-Transformers series character Shadowmaru (see Notes).
