Cyclonus and Scourge agreed to let the Nebulans make Headmasters only out of the Decepticons there with beast modes, they however would only let the organic beings into their weapons. Lord Zarak, the leader of the hive gave the Decepticons an opportunity to become powerful like the Autobot Headmasters at the literal cost of their heads. The defeated Decepticons were captured by the hive and taken to their underground base of operations. After some torture, Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Crosshairs, and Pointblank were all saved by the Headmasters.Īfter witnessing the power of secondary operators, the Decepticons and other Autobots saw the logic in having some of their own. Once the Headmasters got to know their partners, they set off to rescue the five captured captured Autobots. Using Brainstorm's idea, they would use their and Daniel's minds with the Autobots' bodies to be powerful enough to defeat the Hive and save the others. The Nebulan warriors explained their situation with the Hive to the Autobots, and why they didn't trust them at first, and came to an agreement. After a Decepticon attack in which Daniel Witwicky was injured and put on life support, several Autobots were kidnapped by Decepticons. Hardhead, however, was very sceptical about this idea.Īfter a large scale Decepticon attack, several Autobots, Spike, and Daniel crash-landed on Nebulos where the Autobots were taken captive by the inhabitants. The creation of Targetmasters and Headmasters, in this continuity, started with an initial idea of Brainstorm's that Autobots should use human partners while driving to help with steering and speed, this idea was confirmed when a race between Hot Rod and Blurr was won not by Blurr's speed, but by Daniel Witwicky's help in driving Hot Rod. Recoil was among the weapons surrendered by the Autobots to the Decepticons as part of preparation for an alliance against Unicron. Quickmix and Needlenose were both seen using weapons resembling their Targetmaster partners, but their individual circumstances do not seem to easily allow for them to have been on Nebulos to acquire Targetmaster partners. Time WarsĪdditional Targetmasters may or may not have been created as the war went on. Ultimately the present-day Targetmasters reappeared when Soundwave returned his troops to their own time, but Cyclonus and Scourge vanished into the time rift. Meanwhile, Scourge and Fracas were fighting alongside Galvatron and the Megatron clone against the Wreckers and Mayhems. Misfire, along with Triggerhappy and Slugslinger, led an attack on an Autobot shuttle to retrieve Scorponok's head from Highbrow, but once he had been reassembled they were spirited away to Limbo to make way for Soundwave and the Terrorcons from the future. When negotiations went badly, Shockwave sent a clone of Megatron to kill Cyclonus and crush his gun. Nightstick would not prove to be nearly so fortunate when Cyclonus and Scourge attempted to forge an alliance with the current Decepticon leader Shockwave. Some Transformers, known as Double-Targetmasters, are bonded with two smaller partners who can form individual weapons or combine with one another to form a 'double weapon', with the power of whichever weapon forms the 'barrel' boosted by the other. The term has been applied to the Seacon team and several Action Master pairings. Later Targetmasters included virtually any Transformer specifically partnered with another being that becomes their weapon, not limited to Nebulans or organics. The earliest known Targetmasters were among the Autobots and Decepticons involved in the war on Nebulos, and were paired with a bio-engineered Nebulan humanoid which wore a transforming exosuit. The Targetmaster process is often seen to follow shortly after development of the Headmaster process. The advantage is similar to that of having a dedicated gunner aboard an aircraft or tank. A Targetmaster possesses a living weapon that is capable of making its own tactical decisions and target priorities. The Targetmasters benefit from being able to take two minds into battle. The partner is often an organic life form that has been bio-engineered to be partly mechanical, or wears a suit of armor that transforms around them to become the weapon. The Targetmasters are a subset of Transformers binary-bonded to smaller partners, who transform into their weapons.
