Title:
Aimless With Misfire Targetmaster Gun Mode
Description:
Misfire (Targetmaster, 1987)
Takara ID number: D-89
Released in the fourth year of Hasbro’s US The Transformers toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara’s Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers line), Targetmaster Aimless transforms into a "double-barrelled ion particle blaster” via a simple one-step transformation.
Unfortunately, this single transformation joint is a fairly tight clip-joint with four ridge-and-groove points per side in a pseudo-ratchet-joint, meant to soft-lock him in gun and robot modes. These put outward-pushing pressure on the clip halves during transformation, making it prone to breaking after repeated use. Consider yourself lucky if you find an intact one these days. Sanding down the ridges on the pegs can resolve this problem, though obviously there’s the risk of breaking the clips when pulling the legs off or putting them back on to do so. Good luck!
Aimless was only available packed with his larger Targetmaster companion, Misfire. Aimless can be placed in either Misfire’s hands or on top of his vehicle mode thanks to the use of 5 mm posts and holes.
