Scattershot (G1)

Scattershot (スキャッターショット Sukyattāshotto) (sometimes alternately known as Scattorshot) is the leader of the Technobots, and a recurring character in the Transformers Generation One cartoon and comic. He transforms into a Cybertronian spaceship/attack jet and a battle station and forms into the torso of Computron. His solution to the Decepticon problem is to empty as many weapons in their direction as possible. Only either running out of ammo or his foes being destroyed can stop him. He continues to fight even when his body is pushed beyond his limit. This, however, solidifies himself as one of the bravest warriors that are more than willing to risk himself for Autobot cause. 
Scattershot was voiced in the Sunbow cartoon by Stephen Keener. 
== Biography ==
=== Cartoon ===
He first appeared in the episode, Grimlock's new Brain when he was created by Grimlock when Grimlock used the brain parts out of Unicron's head. He remains as the leader of the Technobots to help his fellow Technobots to attack the evil Decepticons from invading other planets including Earth.
===Marvel Comics===
Scattershot first appeared in the Headmasters miniseries as one of the Autobots who agreed to accompany Fortress Maximus to Nebulos to retire from the war. When the Decepticons followed them there, Scattershot led the Technobots in supporting Hardhead and Brainstorm in beating back an attack by the Terrorcons and Horrorcons.
He made his first appearance in the main comic in Issue #41, when he was among the senior Autobots who accompanied Fortress Maximus to a meeting with Earth Autobot leader Grimlock. After the return of Optimus Prime, Scattershot appeared in the UK-exclusive story "Time Wars" as part of the team he put together to challenge Galvatron. The mission was disrupted by the arrival of Rodimus Prime and a group of future Autobots, who shunted Optimus Prime and several others into limbo. Failing to recognise the newcomers, the present day Autobots attacked them, with Scattershot fighting Blurr alongside Wheeljack. He made his last appearance in Issue #50 during the Underbase Saga, where he was part of a combined Autobot-Decepticon team under Fortress Maximus and Soundwave who protested Buenos Aires, only to be deactivated by the Underbase-powered Starscream.
The post-movie version of the character appeared in "The Legacy of Unicron" as part of the team who accompanied Rodimus Prime to Junk to destroy Unicron's head, manning the team's shuttle with Smokescreen. In "Space Pirates", he accompanied Ultra Magnus in responding to a distress call from Soundwave and the Decepticons, who they teamed up with to fight off a Quintesson invasion of Cybertron. In "Peace", Scattershot was present for the end of the war in 2510, only for a Decepticon deep cover agent, Triton, to start an argument over whether Ultra Magnus or Springer should be their new leader. Scattershot ended up killing Roadbuster, triggering an Autobot civil war.
