75C's Transformers Collection

SixShot

"Life is worth living only as long as there are enemies worth destroying."

A vile, nasty murderous sort who carries out his job with ferocious intensity. Only redeeming quality is he speaks well of those he's sent to "the great junkyard in the sky", his phrase for destruction. Has 6 forms:
- Robot,
- Armored carrier (with twin laser batteries),
- Ramming-tank (with infra-red rangefinder and target tracker),
- Jet-propelled laser pistol,
- Star fighter (maximum speed: 80,000 mph; range: .8 million miles), and
- Wolf-creature.
Only the Wolf-creature has no need for the 2 hypersonic concussion blasters; it prefers to rip apart enemy Autobots with his razor fangs.

The toy box

Originally released in 1987, Sixshot (D-98) was re-issued by Takara at the end of March 2002. I was fortunate to lay my hands on one over a year later. Sixshot's function is known as S.T.A.G. or Solo Transformer Assault Group.

Sixshot is a design masterpiece. It is very versatile and the attention to details is unprecendented. Other than its twin laser guns, there are no other detachable parts, i.e., it transforms into every other mode independently without the need for add-ons to enhance its look. And it has tiny rollers, which provide very good balance and movement, on its base in almost every official and unofficial mode. Here's a test for you - can you figure out where the robot head and wolf head are hidden in the other modes?

1. Robot mode

2. Star Fighter mode

3. Armored Carrier mode

4. Wolf - Creature

5. Ramming Tank

6. Jet-Propelled Laser Pistol

On page 76 of Figure King (issue #52) magazine, there was an additional mode identified as "Winged Wolf" that was shown in The Headmasters anime (episode #24 - The Death of Ultra Magnus). This mode was also identified in Takara's Transformers Generations book (pg. 26).
