    A simple reuse using bits of Megatron and Scourge gives me Jafo, the partner for the Decepticon Battleslash.

    Jafo was a LAPD officer assigned to helicopter duty. When he was betrayed by his own superiors he was left for dead, with a broken body. The Decepticons recruited him with the promise of a strong robotic exoskeleton and the chance for real respect. Jafo is back in the skies, and now he has the power of a double-barreled assault missile launcher for his partner Battleslash.

    Bonus geek points for anyone who knows where Jafo comes from.

    Is this a Blue Thunder reference? Either way, great work!

    Yep, he is literally the young officer who died in Blue Thunder. My toy is even colored like his uniform.

    I could really get into a series of pop-culture/movie reference RoGunners. Hot Rod needs a John Bender target master.

    Mm, that only works if there's a RoGunner for Galvatron...a bull that transforms into a gun named Vernon.

    Started work on the 13 Primes, inspired by Power of the Primes, but done as RoGunners. Here are the first six, all done in pairs.

    Updated Railgunner, partner for Astrotrain.

    Railgunner RoGunner by mathewignash on Shapeways

    Railgunner may be Astrotrain's Targetmaster partner, but he's not a Nebulan, or any other organic. He's actually a high end Earth AI created as a high speed rail navigator which uses fuzzy logic to determine traffic switching. Astrotrain stole the processor and installed it into his Ionic Displacer Rifle to create a a smart weapon. While not as good at targeting as an organic Targetmaster, Railrunner can time shots for maximum effect, and choose which target is most vulnerable to his weapon with lightning efficiency, but has little imagination.

    Order Small for 60% G1 Targetmaster size with 3mm handle. Ideal for G1 Astrotrain.
    Order Medium for G1 Targetmaster size with 5mm handle. Ideal for Classic, Timelines, Titans Return and Siege Astrotrain.
    Order Large for BOTH sizes!


    710x528_32700740_16814558_1600899711.png

    Also available as Shattered Glass Railgunner!

    Updated Longbomb, partner for Blitzwing.

    Longbomb RoGunner by mathewignash on Shapeways

    Longbomb knew Blitzwing back a decade before becoming his Targetmaster. A washed up sports coach who was disgraced for cheating, when Blitzwing needed an organic partner, he looked up his old ally, and he jumped at the chance for one last bit of glory. Transforming into a Gyro-Blaster Rifle, Long Bomb has a remote sighting system able to hit a target from miles away, unseen by his target. Tends to offer combat advice and pep talks that mostly annoy his fellow Decepticons.

    Order purple for G1 Longbomb.

    Order grey for SG Longbomb.
