Title:
Six Shot
Description:
Six Shot (Mega Class, 2005)
Accessories: Missile
Six Shot is a redeco of the Energon Shockblast toy, transforming into a Cybertronic laser-tank, as well as a satellite-cannon. His cannon-arm contains a spring-loaded missile launcher and an electronic sound gimmick (which refuses to shut up most of the time). The toy also takes some liberties with its color scheme, using a very dark purple in place of the parts of him that were black in the series, mainly his torso, upper legs and feet.
Many specimens of this toy have the same problem: In satellite mode, a peg on one of his legs will not fit into the corresponding slot to hold the mode together. The waist hinge’s quality on some copies varies since some are loose and causes the figure’s upper torso to wobble and some don’t. The cause of the wobbling issue is the pinhole for the hinge is badly deformed on the inside, which leads to the hinge breaking.
This mold was also used as the basis for the non-toy pre-beast version of Cryotek as seen in "Theft of the Golden Disk” and for Shattered Glass Shockwave.
Even though initially announced as "Six Shot”, an early version of his bio card posted at Hasbro’s official Transformers website listed his name as "Scattorshot” instead, previously a working name for Blight. The name was soon changed back to "Six Shot”, however, and the toy was only ever sold under that name. The name "Scattorshot” was ultimately used on a character from the follow-up series, Cybertron.
And speaking of the bio card: While it described Six Shot (or "Scattorshot”) as a "cunning Decepticon warrior”, the Tech Spec stats only gave him a "4” in "intelligence”. This was just one of many examples with the poorly thought out Energon bios at that time. (Things got vastly better with Cybertron.)
Despite his prominent role in the Japanese-made cartoon, Six Shot was not made available as part of the Japanese Super Link toyline.
Six Shot is the only one out of himself and his brother to use his tank mode in the cartoon.
In the first Hungarian dub of Energon, Six Shot was voiced by an actor in his late sixties – discounting his introduction episode, where he was dubbed by another actor who was nearing fifty. Both used their regular talking voices, which kind of messed up his "younger brother” issue.
Just how like Energon Six Shot is a redeco of Shockblast, Kre-O Six Shot reuses the Kre-O Shockwave helmet and arm gun. He also wears a Starscream arm blaster on his right arm and some other piece to increase the size of his left arm.
