Sixshot is a murderous warrior who carries out his job with a fierce intensity. He is a machine of few redeeming qualities, though chief among them is the fact that he respects all his foes, and will always speak highly of those whom he dispatches to the “great junkyard in the sky.” The thrill of battle is what Sixshot lives for – he considers his life only worth living as long as there are enemies worth destroying.

Sixshot is a Solo Transformer Assault Group (“S.T.A.G.”), or in simpler parlance, a one-robot army – he is named for his near-unique ability to assume six different modes. His armored carrier mode is armed with twin laser batteries, while in ramming tank mode, he is outfitted with an infrared range finder and target tracker. He can attain the power of flight in his star cruiser mode, with a range of eight million miles, and is also able to take to the skies as a jet-propelled laser pistol (either full-size, or shrunken to be wielded by other Transformers). In these four modes and robot mode, he wields twin hypersonic concussion blasters, but his sixth mode – that of a winged wolf-creature – has no need for them, preferring to tear his opponents apart with its claws and fangs.

Setting out to locate them he journeyed to Muma-Obscura, a world devastated by the mysterious life forms known as the Reapers. Greeted by a party of the Reapers Sixshot engaged in a fight, with the location of the Terrorcons as the prize. After Sixshot won, realizing he was merely being tested, the Reapers revealed that, like Sixshot, they were once tools of war with few equals. Since then, they have aspired to a greater purpose and banded together to rid the universe of war by obliterating the most war-like races. The Reapers offered membership to Sixshot, asking him to kill the Terrorcons as a test. Sixshot seemed to accept and blasted the Terrorcons - but when the smoke cleared he had merely shot around them. The Reapers left, promising to meet him again.

Cracktran History

(G1 form)

Sixshot started off in space, drifting in Earth’s orbit, blowing up the occasional asteroid.  Eventually, he grew bored and started a conversation with Brawl—his first friend ever.  They decided to go blow shit up together and the Ark was worse for it once they were through.  Sixshot was sent back into space, where he could do the least damage.  Brawl was left to clean up the mess.

Eventually, Megatron allowed him to return to Earth—an offer he only accepted because “space is fucking boring”.  Perhaps he should’ve stayed there?  

Having spent vorns and vorns alone in the blackness of space, Sixshot has a hard time socializing with other bots.  He’s blunt with his words and even more blunt with his temper.  His favorite words are fuck, shit, slag, hell, damn, piss, and frag.  He uses them as liberally as he uses his guns.

Earth’s insanity swept him up in the form of Runabout.  It all started with the prospect of dance lessons, then escalated to what should’ve been a one-night stand.  The whole ordeal ended up in an accidental bonding that no one saw coming.

Sixshot took it in stride.  His first objective was to eliminate the competition—Sunstreaker.   Epic battles over live journal were held and there were a few failed meetings.  Eventually, for the sake of ‘Bout’s sanity, the two of them decided to come to an agreement.  That’s all moot now, since Bout decided to cut it off with Streaker.  Sixshot couldn’t be more happy.  They can often be found shooting each other or playing dangerous games of hide and seek, which usually end with Sixshot in the medbay.

Growing accustomed to life on Earth, Six has managed to make a handful for friends—though he’s not quite sure what to do with them.  Blowing them the fuck up isn’t an option, apparently.
