"Sixshot, show them what a one robot army is." - Galvatron.
Five up! Five down! It’s like shooting cyber-ducks in a barrel!
@@Nameless-ln5mr yup cuz he totes said ducks and it definitely didn’t sound like anything else... nope, not at all, just sounded like ducks to me.....

Ok, did anyone else hear it?
@@Nameless-ln5mr s
@@Nameless-ln5mr Sixshot made his 30 second appearance count and became a legend.
From what I heard, Sixshot was considered to be one of the main antagonists in Animated, but Hasbro said no to that because creating a six changer at the time was expensive, and so Blitzwing took his place
then they should have just made him a tv exclusive character only if they weren't able to make a toy for him.
@@ETH5626 back in those times they really wanted to avoid those types of characters because G1 had so many. Like the Rainmakers and Alpha Trion. Or the very chaotic cases like Jetfire
So does that mean sixshot is a nazi as well
@@genesismultiverse4896 more likely an Imperial Japanese soldier is the route they’d have taken if he was included
@@TheUncivilizedNation oh yeah the samurai ninja thing so why doesn't he transformed into a cow
"Six Shots son. Don't ask me how that works."
At this point we have multiple options lol.
Through budding. Being built or forge by Sixshot.
The "parent" of a robot was it's creator. Isn't it mentioned that the Transformers were children of Primus? That same goes with Quickswitch and Sixshot.
9_Bucks i seriously NEED the answer
adoption is always an option
@@stephencastro4723 at this point I just say it's
It's either built by the couple( nobody cares about the gender) (which could take say 9 years
Could be done asexually( that one takes literal decades )
Done by the allspark( done in a few minutes )
Done by a protoform (although that one takes a lot more time developing. a few years to develop the Proto form finding the right chamber) and armor
The point is there are so many ways that could be done and I'm guessing it's probably all of them when it comes to Transformers procreating.
The problem is mostly collecting all the parts ( steel iron Energon) forging all the delicate parts( T cogs, spark chamber, a Helm for the Neural circuits)
Programming( the allspark can probably do this instantly while done manually will take a lot longer)
that's mostly how I think it comes to procreating giant alien robots that turn into vehicles
Man, Sixshot is the physical definition of Overkill, the wolf mode is my favorite
Sixshot taught Cyclonus how to count.
Dark Scream 🤣LOL🤣
That’s one!
Ah ah ah!
You got that from diamondbolt didn’t you
Good one!
I do like the theory that Sixshot changed how he looked and became a wandering ronin helping the Autobots when they needed it. I might have to hunt down a Great Shot since I have Star Saber and Victory Leo coming in later this year.
Same, although if those two get a companion set like Unicron did with mid-reformat Galvatron, I think a Pulse rerelease of the Legends figure is the most likely candidate.
@@Joseph_Drew_III I honestly wouldn’t mind them rereleasing the legends version because it is an incredible looking figure
@@tridentsilver766 Agreed. Just saying there’s a chance it won’t be much of a hunt.
It’s almost disrespectful how they didn’t utilize him any more after spotlight metroplex
Look on the bright side, the current comic series is using him & using him well. Seriously the bot got stabbed through the chest with a sword & he reacted to it like he just pricked his thumb with a thimble, barley an annoyance. Sixshot is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
dante wilson can’t wait to read this! Loooove six shot
@@dantewilson182 If that's true, just imagine what it could take to stop him entirely.
He did make a brief cameo in Last Stand of the Wreckers
The poor guy was killed off panel by the Throttlebots.
It's pretty impressive how the original toy's different forms still look OK despite the engineering clusterfuck that it probably was in the R&D department. Somehow it managed to look better than the Triple Changers.
Because they don't have to resemble anything.
@@twistedgaming9185 My point is that the original triple changers all look like moldeable bricks, while Sixshot looks like it has a proper shape in all his modes.
Starscream? Is that you?
@@GalacticHappyHour impossible. This is my world to rule. Mine!.... I mean, dank starscream to rule! Not me! Nope.
Him being bigger helps
I love it everytime when you say "The Head masters"
only line I like more is "A cosmic powered Starscream"
I think my favorite Sixshot mode is his wolf mode. I'm a sucker for the beasts. I was initially angry with him for killing Ultra Magnus, but his turnaround at the end of Headmasters won me over.
This might be outside the purview of The Basics, but as a bonus fun fact: Sixshot's toy was retooled into Shadowmaru from Brave Police J-Decker and his prototype/older brother Kagerou, though no toy was made of him.
I wish Chris touched on that, too many people forget about Brave Police J-Decker. Besides, Shadowmaru was an excellent character to give those abilities to.
“...offlined by...”
Oh, here it comes!
“...a killcode installed by Megatron...”
Wut? I’m sorry, I thought a Cosmically Powered Starscream was only thing that could offline bots around here.
Actually, while it may have been INSTALLED by Megatron, it was SPOKEN by Starscream. So there you go.
@@JustinWahlne Curses. Starcsream at it again
Goddamn Cosmically Powered Starscream always messing up the place!
cybertron starscream: i nearly killed primus *he moonwalks with sideways and soundwave*
SIX SHOT HE IS THE BEST 6 CHANGER DECEPTICON TRANSFORMERS TOY IN THE WORLD
Man I would have loved to see this guy in transformers prime
Cyberverse (to wrap up the Aligned continuity) or the current War for Cybertron Trilogy continuity (Siege being the Armada / Micron Densetsu)
With the budget their toy department had? Are you INSANE?
I think that would have been sick if he was in prime
😱😱 THAT WOULD’VE BEEN SO COOL
Oh, yeah him and Ultra Magnus have score to settle,
Fans: So, Chris, even though you're on holiday, could you make a new video?
Chris McFeely: Like shooting Cyberducks in a barrel!
"These people are doomed, they're only heading directly to their own grave."
The ONLY good line in the dub imo
GREATSHOT HE IS A NEW TRANSFORMERS LEGENDS TOY AS A NEW AUTOBOT HERO UNTIL MOONRACER AND POWERGLIDE DEFEND AND SAVE HIS LIFE
WITH THE HELP OF STAR SABER HE IS GOING TO TAKE ON RAZORCLAW AND BRING GALVATRON TO JUSTICE ONCE AND FOR ALL
"Don't ask me how that happened."
TF Fanon: 😏
Always gotchu covered 😉
@@chickenstrip_boi6856 it's too late! You will join us!!
@@novemberprime453 Do you think he has six different dicks
@@dudunikolaishvili8096 Lol
No you didn’t
It's the Ninja Consultant of the Decepticons!
He's going to send Chromedome to *HELL!!!!*
@@normak7041 Sixshot was called a Ninja Consultant in the Omni dub (a clear mistranslated "Ninja Staff Officer"), which also gave him a muffled voice.
@@normak7041 I was providing information. And yes, the Omni dubs are trash.
"YOU'RE DEAD"
*_"NoT LiKeLy"_*
N O W A Y
They’re only headed diREctly to theyre ohn grayves.
"All right listen up, I'm the ninja consultant of the Decepticons. My name is Sixshot...now that you know who I am, look out!" *shoots Ultra Magnus*
O yeh?
I actually really like the change of gun to submarine, for two reasons.
One I've always hated mass shifting with a vengeance even as a child and I especially hated transformers who mass shited into weapons because I felt that it took away their independence (Vos and Targetmasters get passes on this).
And two, water was the last environment that Autobots could use to escape from Sixshot, no they're not safe anywhere and if he wants to take one down he can follow them to the ends of the universe if he has to.
He is now threat from the sky, the ground and water!
@@twistedgaming9185 Exactly!
@ugly looser If he didn't mass shift he'd turn into something else, like his WFC/FOC, Cybertron and Prime incarnations do.
@ugly looser Except that these days Megatron's a tank and Soundwave's a communication truck. Get with the times yo.
Gotta agree in the second point. I didn't grow up with the original cartoon, but I absolutely despise mass-shifting with a passion. I don't care how IDW or other media tries to justify his existence, this is not marvel. So the Ant-Man type of argument also does not count. And whenever someone wants to justify it I always counter saying "Ho! So are you saying that with that logic it would be ok for someone the size of Rumble to turn into the f****** Ark?!".
They need to have Sixshot in a show again. He's way too underrated for his status as a six-changer. Kinda want to see him fight Quickswitch as well, who could maybe help influence Sixshot's change into this hypothetical show's Greatshot.
For my own Transformers series, I created a bit more of a sadder story for Sixshot:
A bot created with five alternate modes, he was mocked by society for his difference, but that made him a powerful ally to join the Decepticons, handpicked alongside Drift, Soundwave, Skywarp, and Quake. Originally not having his Phase Sixer upgrade, Sixshot served Megatron as one of his best assassins, gaining information on Sentinel Prime’s whereabouts so Megatron could kill him, and also eliminating an Omega Sentinel. However, because his skill wasn’t as powerful as it would become later on, he was quickly defeated by Optimus Prime, rushing into Kaon to battle Megatron after an attack by the Decepticon leader left Elita-One badly injured. Sixshot, however, was repaired, and fell in love with a Decepticon female, and started a family with her, creating Quickswitch. However, with the Autobot/Decepticon war continuing, their happiness couldn’t remain, and Sixshot’s wife was killed by the Autobot Leadfoot. Sixshot couldn’t find Quickswitch anywhere as well, and that left the Decepticon distraught. Growing angry, he fought harder for the cons, becoming one of their most powerful allies, and winning many battles.
That’s a neat idea.
You forgot to mention that SixShot toy was used on the anime series Brave Police J-Decker as the Ninja officer Shadowmaru
I wanted the basics on brave series
@@klipsfilmsmelbourne sounds like a great idea
@@silverfang1648 I wanted fighbird basics for a popular meme
@@klipsfilmsmelbourne then i want Brave Police J-Decker!
I imagine he served as inspiration for fellow multi changer SevenChanger from Brave of Legend Da Garn, really wish that Hasbro would take all the brave series designs and turn them into transformers to both reinvigorate the brand with new yet familiar feeling things and to give takara an excuse to update literally everything from the brave series
The Brave series show Brave Police J-Decker actually reused Sixshot twice, as Shadowmaru and his prototype Kagerou, thus reusing the ninja motif that Japanese Sixshot had. Shadowmaru had all 6 forms (the gun form only featured in 1 episode, and was not actually in his design, but aliens. ), Kagerou was only a triple changer (car, dragon, mech).
Sixshot would be fun as heck to play. In a Transformers game even if you could only use 2 out of his 6 alt modes at a time.
"These people are DOOMED! They're only heading directly to their own GRAY!"
Six Shot says It’s my turn on the grey
Shame how Sixshot kinda just vanished from IDW after Metroplex stepped on him. You'd think John Barber would have had a few ideas for him, but his last mention implied he was killed by the Throttlebots.
Energon Six Shot was an unfortunate casualty of that show's aversion to finishing plotlines, as well. You'd think someone in the Autobots would tell him "no, Megatron killed your brother. You should do something about that." But presumably that plotline was too interesting.
Also, best Sixshot mode is the jet, no contest.
I'm glad you said this because I always wondered what happened to him since it was so unclear. He just...disappeared out of the comics, though he was my favorite Phase Sixer and Triple Changer!
@@carktheshark It's a shame because I feel like his concept was pretty interesting: an energetic, battle-hungry warrior, cursed by the fact that he is basically indestructible and therefore nothing can challenge him, and constantly throwing himself into lethal missions in the hopes of finding a worthy opponent. Kinda like Saitama if he was a villain, or Overlord minus the sadism and crush. It's just a shame that a lot of his actual appearances were consumed by either dull angst or him rambling about his greatness.
Well now he seems to be gearing up a major role in the current comic at least. Megatron's got one hell of a soldier under his command.
@@dantewilson182 I stopped reading the newest comic because I didn't feel like it was going anywhere and that it was kind of boring, though the world building is pretty nice. Also, the art style from the main artist bugs me, though there are two artist on the new comic that I really like, but they only do a few pages each
@@carktheshark Its a slow burn. They are more focused on establishing the setting and characters than quickly advancing the plot which is fine, it just makes for a slow story. Interesting details which should come into play later when all Hell breaks loose such as the Threefold Spark war which had its own Megatron figure called Exarchon who may not be dead. I recommend not buying the individual issues and wait for the trade. Reading it quickly after the other should improve the slow pacing.
Sixshot: My armour is indestructible
Optimus: (punches him so hard he cracks his armour)
Sixshot: (surprised Pikachu face) *NANI?!*
Obscured by the dull surprise-inducing faceplate instead
Stampy should be kitbashed into Pikachu!
Excellent like always. I wasn't aware of GreatShot's relation to Sixshot I think that's a great and interesting story.
Transformers Legends manga also revived Jack, who becomes Greatshot's Headmaster, the first time Hasbro take on Headmaster appearing in Japanese fiction (though Greatshot will get his own head eventually).
It would have been cool if we had a full season 4 of the original series with a Decepticon civil war between Galvatron and Scorpinoc with Decepticons like Sixshot playing both sides.
This brought new meaning to Greatshots role in Victory.
I like the Tank mode, but my favourite mode is the Winged Wolf mode!
The secret mode that desparked Ultra Magnus (the latter hadn't his hammer yet)
I also like winged wolf mode, because wolves are cool, and beast modes are cooler than vechicle modes, and it looks like matalgarurumon
Glad to hear Sixshot has a role in 2019 IDW continuity. For Hasbro to take this LONG to realize how awesome he is is shameful. Takara-Tomy did him justice from the beginning, even redeeming him after his time in the anime ended.
TwistedGaming918 It’s kind of easy to see why Hasbro didn’t do much since G1 was basically about end with it’s tie media. The show only had a few episodes and comic at this point stopped really putting every new character in it, instead focusing on which character the writer really liked.
Of course the complexity of his original toy probably helped with later media not using him. Because of the lack of such a complex figure.
This was the first character who shot up on my favorite list once I started digging deeper into the G1 canon, before that I already liked Soundwave and Shockwave from other media like the Cybertron video games.
Also, you forgot to mention that in some weird Japanese canon, he owns the Matrix of Evil.
Don’t worry, everyone forgets the Matrix of Evil
Omg I'm watching Transformers Victory and I was thinking to myself that Greatshot may be Sixshot, but I didn't know that it was an actual fan theory or that the Legends manga confirmed it and I love that it's true ❤
This character has a rather unique and fun gimmick and it's a shame that his presence in the franchise is so minimal, especially in animation. It would make a world of difference if Sixshot got to have more opportunities to appear in future Transformers shows, because there's alot he could do.
Great stuff as always Chris.
Now this backstory of changing sides, and getting a new form/purpose is why your channel and content is the best. I truly knew nothing about ole Six here other than having the original toy as a kid, knew of the Titans Return toy from EmGo, and how he was big in Headmaster's. But knew nothing of GreatShot and his alliance with StarSaber etc. Awesome
Sixshot has a lot of potential to become a great antagonist. If he ever appears in Travis Knight’s newly rebooted Transformers cinematic universe, I think he might be a memorable character like Shatter and Dropkick.
The powerful, scary villain turned antihero is a trope that I genuinely love :)
Last OG Transformer I got, well after I had quit playing with them. Still have him, he was one of the best of my OG toys. Much more durable than earlier toys without the hokie looks of later toys. He still holds up today. Other than the expensive collectibles, Six Shot looks as good as any new transformer.
It's amusing how Sixshot's biggest scalps in the cartoon all came against unarmed opponents
He is my favorite transformer. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. He is also in that brave decker police force anime too from what I've read online.
I love sixshot his 6 modes,his characterization,even his arsenal are memorable to me Heck! I didn't even know about him that much until this video show up
I would have made a much bigger deal of Sixshot in American media, he was a highlight for me in the Japanese headmasters show. I wish they had used him like that in the US comics at least, preferably the final 3 episodes of the show too
I knew very little about Sixshot, but he's whole apperence and powers are so cool! Even his quote mentioned at the end of this episode is pretty wise and a bit relatable
I hope younger generation can know how awesome he is (my son don't believe when i say there is transformers who have six alt-mode until i show him this video)
I'm to young to have a child but when I do I hope they will inherit my love for transformers
What about the RID megatron?
@@wdsproductions8077 same bro
my mom doesn't care about cartoon story i am interested like transformes..now im 44 years old
I recall that quote. Transformers G1 ended in the US just as the toys began to get really cool! My personal favorite was Slugslinger.
Great Stuff as always.
I look forward to your content each week/bi weekly!
I still remember the christmas i got Sixshot, and also his appearance in that movie, where he was sitting beside the kid and gave him what look like a cereal bar.
The basics on octane or barricade octane is one of my favorite transformers
Energon SixShot is the only incarnation I knew about before watching this video. As for my favorite mode, I like the winged Wolf mode.
It’s amazing when they somehow manage to make it look like a robot is wearing a swimsuit like at 9:06
Frankly I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't done more robots with five alternate modes. That's some play value right there.
My favorite Sixshot alt form is probably the wolf, although the space jet is pretty good for traversal purposes.
Ok so here's my theory. Nitro Zeus is the Bayverse version of Energon Sixshot, hence why he was so angered by the death of Shockwave.
he was angered by shockwaves demise? that movie was so boring i barely remember the plot
@@zach2712 he was a litteral fanboy if I remember correctly.
Lowkey
@@sonerec725 fanboyism is a common thing in Transformers, if you think about it
I always consider Bayverse Nitro Zeus as Lugnut
My favourite of Sixshot's modes is the tank, because it looks like a scorpion. The spikes on the front wheels when turned sideways look like claws, and the turret arcs overhead like a scorpion's tail...
Had an idea for a character based on Sixshot ages ago: Basically, they used the various alt modes as a means of being an ambassador figure to each cybertronian caste.
Thanks bud, outside of the name and his IDW stuff I didn't know anything about him. I always look forward to your stuff as you cover the obsucure bots and not just the main G1 guys.
It was fun learning more about the character. When he showed up in the G1 cartoon he left a serious impression on me, needless to say I was pumped when Titans Return announced a figure of him.
@Chris McFeely: Great Job on the Sixshot video, man! I absolutely LOVE Sixshot! He's probably the one of my favorite Transformers next to Soundwave! Also, my favorite modes that Sixshot turns into would probably have to be his winged-wolf mode!
I hope that whoever came up with his idea got a MAJOR raise.
His submarine mode is the best thing ever happened to the toy line XD
Given the fact that his name has a Wild West connotation, "sixshooter" being the nickname of pistols in holsters, it's no surprise that Neil Ross voiced Sixshot's one line in the G1 cartoon with that accent. Though since he's more popular in Japan as a ninja rather than a cowboy, if I were looking for a voice nowadays, I would choose George Takei as the voice of Sixshot.
I had the old G1 toy when I was little, and picked up the MMC Terminus Hexatron figure a few years ago. Regardless of version, the tank has always been my favourite, with the starfighter mode being a close second.
I like the animal mode of Sixshot. I did notice the Japanese created ninja Night Bird (from the Original Transformer TV show "Enter the Night Bird") had helped Sixshot fake his own death. Timestamp 07:54 - 08:03. Did she become a transformer or just brought out of stasis to help in "killing" Sixshot?
I've got some plans for Nightbird, so you'll learn her story in the coming months! :)
I'm a HUGE fan of Sixshot and his six modes! The only figure I have of him, though, would happen to be the Leader Class Six Shot from the Titans Return line, and even that I enjoy! I suppose, if I had to pick which alternate mode I like most, it'd probably have to be the wolf mode - especially how, in the case of the Titans Return figure, the Titan Master Revolver cleverly plugs into the back of the wolf's head. Of course, I haven't tried it yet, but I'd certainly like to try and replicate that "Wingwolf" mode from that one Episode where he defeated Ultra Magnus. Y'know, just to challenge myself a bit (the other alternate mode transformations are difficult enough to memorise themselves). :)
2:16 It is the best SHOT in the show!
Love his Titan figure. Got to say I love his jet/star fighter mode. He will also be Transformers greatest ninja.
Plus, the toy can fully transform without removing the head.
@@twistedgaming9185 the Wolf Mode
got him new on my 9th bday. still have him and the original packaging ;)
I would like to see a story line on how he got his forms
"Don't ask me how that works!"
Oh God, that gave me flashbacks to back when Tramp was active in the fandom.
@Starscream91
He's some guy who believes that we can have and do have sex. Cybertronian kids do exist, but none of them prove sexual reproduction for they could've been built.
He could've came through nonsexual methods.
Here's Hot Rod .......Oh 😶
@@Nothin2seehere-e4z Not just that either. It was the fact he wouldn't be told he was wrong by anyone. He'd take things out of context and act like he was this all-knowing well of information.
@@TheSkyatollah did you stop to think that some fans might actually agree with him, because if the cybertronians are supposed to be an alien race shouldn't be able to reproduce like any organic race would. because what's the point in having female Transformers if they can't reproduce like a organic race can. there's also the matter of the Techno organic Transformers wouldn't they have the ability of reproduction of an organic race since they are since there a mix of cybertronian and organic.
"We keep losing to the autobots! we need...a ninja consultant!"
I just watched Victory again a few weeks ago and unless I fell asleep while watching it and had a wild dream I could have swore they went over him becoming an Autobot.
Great video as always, as a person who has only seen the G1 TV show this series is a great help to me. I only have one request. When will we get Full-tilt?!
Gun modes have been the millstone around the necks of this franchise. It's so easy to engineer in a toy, but it's so dang hard to make work in cartoons or comics! Then add growing societal issues with fake guns, just for the extra drama.
The main villain of the franchise had an alt mode that required someone to hold him tightly, and no amount of new alt modes or retcons will ever change that.
Another great video, can't wait for the next one. I never really thought much about Six Shot when he first came out, as I never knew much about him
His catch-phrase should be "Sixshot's the name, transformation's my game"
Loved Sixshot, best Transformers toy I had.
I remember having this Transformer sixshot toy back in 1987. I didn't know who he was but I do remember this kind of mint and purple color scheme.
The HeadMaster Six Shot toys can transform extra 2 forms, submarine or ship boat & base mode.
Have to say, wasn’t expecting to see Sixshot in “a bold new era” so soon.
I love the wolf form and that was one of the Transformers I wanted as a child but could never find.
Though it is not directly related to the Transfomers franchise but there is a robot which not only looks similar but also transformers into similar modes(vehicle, beast etc.)
It's name is Shadowmaru in a Japanese animation called 'The Brave of Police J-DECKER' which was aired from 1994 to 1995.
I believe the toy of Shadowmaru had been inspired by Sixshot/Greatshot.
ruclips.net/video/qbOD5lAjnAE/видео.html
The link above is a video I found that shows the comparison(to me it's more like resemblance) of Shadowmaru, Sixshot and Greatshot in beast and vehicle mode.
Yup, Shadowmaru's another retool/recolour of Sixshot! There are a couple of Brave toys and characters who are retooled from Transformers ones.
@@ChrisMcFeely I wonder due to both series' close connections spanning decades if you'd ever think about covering it, RID 2001 all the way to animated have a fair few references to it after all and being made to fill the transformers void left after it dropped off, I think it'd be a good video topic to make people aware of the connections and possibly spotlight some references like the Animated Jet Twins referencing the Raker brothers and Ryu's or Cybertron Optimus Prime's various GaoGaiGar inspired stuff and heck, the premise of armada being eerily similar to Da Garn's early plot of finding green stones scattered around the earth containing transforming robots inside (though Da Garn had their spirits inside which posessed machines to become their bodies instead of having the robot inside)
I wasn't that much of a fan of six shot but after hearing his redemption story, he's really growing on me.
You're videos are so good that I can't understand how you don't have 10 times the subscribers. I tell every nerd friend about this channel
I always wondered about this guy and I thought he was pretty cool😎 and I stand corrected thanks for explaining him you best transformers explainer😄😎😊👍🏻!!!
To be honest I've heard that there where comics of transformers who've had kids, but after hereing a Decepticon having a son is a bit of a surprise in itself. I've actually always wondered and imagine our favorite characters having kids like say IronHide and Chromia having a son named IronWill for example or Starscream having a son named Deathscream
Sixshot and Quickswitch are father and son in that Quickswitch was built using Sixshot's schematics with some alterations to it. Quickswitch is also a member of the Six clan.
I loved the toy as a child - till a nasty drop as a spaceship in my kitchen broke him : ( - and I love his Titans Return update. Hard to pick a favourite alt mode, most of them are awesome! And the "submarine" mode on the Titans Return figure is still the laser gun mode, you've just gotta turn it upside down
Sixshot was so dope af yo! He was awesome in tha Transformers Headmasters cartoon!😎🔥
i think im a bit late on this because i just got into watching TF contents as of a few months ago but
i dont if its intentional or not but i noticed that in his Titans Return figure, his head sculpt actually looks like he's wearing a Japanese Hachimaki (Headband), AND not only that, he has a stylized version of the Kanji for "Six"/「六」sculpted in it. Very interesting considering he is characterized as a "Ninja" in The Headmasters
I was the first kid in my class to have Sixshot. I remember impressing everyone by cycling thru all his forms without the instructions.
I had a friend Amanda, whose little brother had this toy. I borrowed it from him for awhile to figure out all the transformations. I could not remember the character from the show or his name. Thanks to this video now I know lol
Sixshot seems like a cool and interesting character.
In addition to looking like Jack, the Titans Return Sixshot head has the kanji for the number six on it, roku.
A character with a lot of potential, but rarely seen. At least the rebooted comic gives him a chance to shine.
The og Six shot will always be my personal transformer
I wish Sixshot I would appear in an animated cartoon or live action film. But no media would prefer re-using Bumblebee for the hundredth time!
Got Sixshot for Christmas in '87 and was disappointed by the utter lack of articulation in robot mode. He looked good, but couldn't do much.
Also, I think his concussion blasters were intended to go inside his legs (there are peg holes there) in gun mode, not on the outside, like in tank mode. It certainly looks better in the former configuration.
I'd love to see Sixshot be the big villain of a TF movie and really get the most out of his status as a 'one robot army'
That’s so cool that his story got retconned to match the old fan theory...
Very cool and the toy be it G1 or Titans Return is AWESOME (I have both now in my collection). Time to add Greatshot....difficult but not impossible.
