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

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

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.

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.

[@elijahhaynes216]

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.

[@justanormaldilo.249]

That’s a neat idea.

[@samwatson-tayler2805]

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.

[@solbadguy9025]

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?!".

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).

[@misterbadguy7325]

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.

[@carktheshark]

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). :)

@@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 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.

Six-shot is my favorite Transformer of all I fell in love with the character when I first saw his introduction commercial The Japanese version of the Transformers really did six-shot Justice it made him one of the main characters and a true warrior Great video and must Respect

[@christopherwilliams5030]

This was a great one. Found out somethings I didn't know. Always appreciate this show.

[@hasbrosbeforehoes]

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

[@PapaTaurean]

I love the wolf form and that was one of the Transformers I wanted as a child but could never find.

[@sitisarah826]

The HeadMaster Six Shot toys can transform extra 2 forms, submarine or ship boat & base mode.

[@djmh5097]

I’m a huge fan man. Been waiting to comment, u gotta do a basics video on Bulkhead, Skylinx, and Chromia. I have a lot of favorites and you’ve covered a lot of them I hope u keep making great bodies!

[@metalmatt3431]

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

[@stel7425]

Sixshots toy was also remolded and used in brave police J-decker as shadowmaru

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😄😎😊👍🏻!!!

[@ionacustoyreviews857]

I really enjoyed this video a lot. My favorite mode of six shot is his wolf mode

[@chocobosage]

Loved Sixshot, best Transformers toy I had.

[@GCJACK83]

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.

[@ArcanaStorm]

Have to say, wasn’t expecting to see Sixshot in “a bold new era” so soon.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Really kicking myself after watching this because earlier today I had passed by a new hobby shop that opened in my earlier today...and one of the items they had was that Legends Exclusive Greatshot. Hoping next time I visit it'll still be there.

[@shasynarrayai.a703]

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

[@captainfordo2938]

His catch-phrase should be "Sixshot's the name, transformation's my game"

[@christianbrown2471]

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.

[@marclewis5505]

Sixshot was so dope af yo! He was awesome in tha Transformers Headmasters cartoon!😎🔥

[@MadTheDJ]

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.

[@sivanlevi3867]

In addition to looking like Jack, the Titans Return Sixshot head has the kanji for the number six on it, roku.

[@bazilio920]

Cool video,sixy is my favorite decepticon in headmasters.

[@originaluddite]

The more modes the less precise each can be, which makes even his G1 toy impressive. I always felt the beast mode was far too boxy for a wolf, but a rhino works much better, and I never knew about that, so thanks. :) I also feel that his Titans Return incarnation should have had a base mode, to be in keeping with the others of his size class in that line. Maybe I should just think of the tank as a mobile base, then he pretty much has all major mode groupings covered (robot, land vehicle, air vehicle, hand-held device, beast and base).
