"Vigilance is the foundation on which victories
are built."
Startlingly versatile, staggeringly strong, the Autobot's
last line of defense... a mighty insturment of titanic destructive
force. Extremely modest about his achievements... berates himself
for not doing more. In robot mode, he can lift 70,000 tons, has
shoulder-mounted twin high-energy maser cannons and omni-directional
receiving and transmitting antenna. In city mode, has helipad and
fully equipped repair bays that can handle four vehicles at once.
Left rear tower transforms into tank, Slammer, who has rocket-propelled
mortar cannon. Scamper is sports car with side mounted electro-blasters;
transforms into robot, uses high-energy particle beam pistol. Six-Gun
is small robot, has ion-pulse rifles for arms, twin surface-to-air
guided missile launchers on back, acetylene pistol. In battle station
mode, uses all these weapons and twin disrupter rays, laser lances,
powerful anti-matter projectors.
