Now Six Shot here is an amazing transformer figure. Not only is he a massive Decepticod, but he is a six changer. He's got six different modes. Now Six Shot hitting the shelves in 1987 pretty much secured an appearance in the original Transformers cartoon series. Though he only appeared in one scene in the fourth season known as the Rebirth. It was only three episodes, very briefly. He appears long enough to demonstrate his six modes and to let the aerial bots know that they are no longer on toy shelves. And that was the last time that we saw Six Shot in the animated cartoon series. At least here in the States. He was featured more prominently in the Japanese Headmaster series. Now Six Shot also appeared animated in his television commercial where it's shown once again that he shows off all six of his modes. And he helps teach Cyclonus how to count. And what's funny, his television commercial is longer than his appearance in the animated show. Six Shot made his Marvel comic appearance in issue number two of the Headmasters Limited series where he is shown supposedly in one panel in his spaceship mode. And that's it. Six Shot is never seen again in Marvel G1. And that's pretty much the history of Six Shot here in the States as far as US Fiction's concern, which is really surprising because this is a fantastic toy. So enough of the history of Six Shot, let's go ahead and take a look at this awesome Generation 1 Decepticon. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now the first of Six Shot's six alt modes we're going to take a look at is his armored car mode. This is actually my least favorite mode because it just looks... You got to use your imagination with this mode right here. I mean, you look hard enough. It's some sort of Cybertronian assault vehicle. It's got great chrome wheels there on the side. Lots of chrome up here on top and it actually rolls really, really good. Now the thing with Six Shot is he has plenty of wheels. You've got the four big wheels right here for car mode, extra wheels right here, right here. So he's got quite a few wheels to help keep him stable. Now this vehicle, it's all right. The windows here are decals and these are actually toy hacks decals. The very first toy hacks set that I ever bought for a G1 figure is for this guy right here. Those decals look great. He's got the big cannons mounted up here on top and a radar dish. Lots of nice molded details. You can see these are like seats. Some little round details right there. Not a big fan of the front of the vehicle. It just looks kind of messy. But that's pretty much it for Six Shot's car mode. Now let's get him transformed into his tank mode. First thing we'll do is flip down the sensor array and we're going to remove the cannons. Go ahead and bring these up and out of the way. Go ahead and just bring those up and around. And what you're going to do is take these sections right here and you're going to rotate this whole piece forward. There's a little hinge right there. You can get this all in camera. This is a big figure. Go ahead and rotate that around. Now flip the vehicle over and you're going to open up these panels right here. And now you're going to bring this section, this whole front section of the car up. And mine is pretty tight. You may have to do this off camera. There we go. There we go. So now we're going to bring this up like so. And then there's some joints right here. You're going to angle it up just like that. Go ahead and rotate these around. And now you'll see there are tank treads right there. So take this section here with the wheel. Rotate this so that decal is facing forward. And rotate the back wheel to where you see another set of tank treads. And just line that up. We'll do the same thing here on the other side. Rotate around. Rotate the front. Rotate the back. So now we have the tank treads and the front of the tank. Bring the wing sections down. And now you're going to take the wings and fold them back to where they were with the car mode. Bring this up. You can actually tuck these flaps underneath after you reach inside here and pull these guns out. Now you can flip those back. Angle that forward. So now you have these guns facing out right here. Flip up this section. That's going to form a cockpit for the tank. Now you're going to take these blasters once again. And there's a hole right there on the side. Peg those blasters in on both sides. And now you have six shots futuristic tank mode. And once again, you're using your imagination with this. I do like the looks of this tank. It's more of an anti-aircraft vehicle because it doesn't really face forward. Now as I showed earlier, all of these wheels come into play once again. You've got two wheels here and a wheel right there. And those help keep it fairly stable. Now the tank mode is a little back heavy as you can see. I like the little cockpit right there. Now I think these are cool the way these are angled. And with the wheels here, you almost can pretend those are like saw blades. The six shots rolling towards you. He's catching you and just chopping you to pieces. Once again, looks really good. Lots of nice chrome and the sticker decals work. Now another option you can do if you don't like this particular look for your tank is, if you open these up, let me see if I can get this to look in. But there is holes right there on the inside that you can actually peg these larger weapons into. Now I personally, I like this look. But the instructions say to put the guns on the outside. So now you've got that look going on and I think that looks pretty sweet. So there you go guys, there is six shots tank mode. Now let's get him transformed into his pistol mode. Go ahead and swing these wings back. Flip the cockpit back inside there. Go ahead and extend this section all the way out. Love the ratchets. Nice tight G1 ratchets. So you've got that going on. Now you're going to take the wings and bring these up. I apologize if I'm running out of space here. Now you're going to clip the wings together here at the tip and rotate these to the side. And then you're going to find the sensor array from earlier. Get that out like so. And now you have a blaster. Let me see if I can zoom out. Yes. There we go. You have a blaster. So yeah, got to love G1. Now of course, if this was made today Hasbro would say flip it around so you have a submarine. But no, that is a cool role-playing blaster. And I love it. I love G1. Now from blaster mode, we're going to go into my favorite mode. Go ahead and flip the sensor array or trigger back down. You're going to remove the blasters from inside the purple sections here. And then go ahead and flip these guns back in as well. Go ahead and open up all of the flaps. And then you're going to rotate this back around just like it was for vehicle mode. You might have to move the wheel sections out of the way. Snap that into place. Bring these around. Snap those in place. And then put all the panels back together. Go ahead and bring the wheel sections down. Bring the handle and snap that from the top. Bring that down. And now you're going to take these sections here, flip them up. And now you have six shots. Whoops, almost forgot. Take your blasters and you're going to plug the blasters into the ends of the wings. And there you have six shots. Spaceship mode. And I love this one. This is my favorite of the modes. Big, beefy and badass. And the sticker decals look great on it. And it even has landing gear. There are hidden wheels right there on top of the windows from the vehicle mode. And up here in these chrome sections. So he's got landing gear. He can land. And it's just awesome. That is a sweet looking ship. One of my absolute favorite ship modes, jet modes from generation one. I just think it is so cool and it's heavy. This is a heavy figure. So now let's get him out of ship mode and get him transformed into his next mode. And remove the weapons. Fold these back in. Go ahead and take the wings, bring them up. And let's see, we'll move these sections forward. Like so. And now you need to take these panels apart. Now one thing you're noticing, I am pretty rough transforming this figure. Because this is one durable G1. This is one G1 toy I have no fear whatsoever of breaking. This guy is just solid and awesome. They just don't make them like this anymore. So go ahead and rotate this section back. And now you're going to rotate it all the way around. I love those ratchets. Knock those flaps back in. Right here, you're going to flip these sections down, the seats from car mode. And you'll see there is feet. Go ahead and take the wings all the way back. Take these sections here and rotate forward. So now you'll notice toes. And then you're going to flip this section out and up, revealing a beast head. And here we have, whoops, I need to separate the legs. Let's see, these are really tight. That's the one part of this figure that I have problems with is these legs are super tight. You can see where they slide back and forth. We'll have to do that off camera. And once you get the legs apart, here you have six shots winged wolf mode. And to be honest, I do not think this looks like a wolf. It looks more like a tiger or some kind of cat. Now you can open the mouth slightly, but the mouth, the jaw is also the cockpit for the tank. So you open it up too wide, it's going to look goofy. So open it right about there, looks fine. Now if you want to utilize the cannons, these will actually peg into the shoulders right here in these slots. They've got one and you've got the other. Now he's a winged beast, but because of the way the arms are, you can't really flare the wings out. They kind of go up, but you can't really get them out real far. So, you know, you're using your imagination once again with this mode. Great paint applications. I love the red eyes. I just think that looks so cool. So now let's get six shot transformed into his final mode, robot mode. And we'll go ahead and remove the blasters. Take the beast head and fold back into the back. Take the legs and you're just going to rotate them forward. Flip these toes up. You're going to rotate the arms down and then push in revealing the fists. Make sure the toe sections are pointed up. Push in revealing the fist. Go ahead and flip these sections out so you can untab this right here. Flip the robot head out and there we have six shots in robot mode. In robot mode, six shot is a beast of a Transformers toy. He is absolutely massive and this figure is quite solid. As I mentioned earlier, the only real hollow parts for six shot is right here inside the legs and that's due to all of his transformation. There is no other hollow bits on this figure anywhere. Now he is pretty much a brick because the only articulation he has is the arms can do a complete 360. They're on soft ratchets as well. And he does have a wrist rotation or actually an entire forearm rotation thanks to transformation. And I guess there's a knee bend too if you count that but that's for transformation as well. The feet are hooked together so there's really not much you could do with that. Now there are a couple different ways you can display robot mode. Like with the wings right here I have them straight down due to the fact I really don't have much size or much area to film here. In the cartoon he actually has the wings straight up. As you can see I can't even get all that in shot. So that's what he looks like with the wings straight up. My favorite way to display my figure is I flip the wings around like so and angle them out kind of like seeker wings. So he's got this look going on. Then right here with the tail fin flaps I like to bring those out. And actually I reversed the decals. The decals you see right here are supposed to go on the inside of the wing and the Decepticon logo on the outside. But I reversed mine because I think that looks so much better and you can see six shots face better. He's got a pretty decent head sculpt. Love the red eyes. So right there that is how I display my six shot and then of course let's put his blasters in his hand and now you have six shot all armed and ready for battle. This is a massive figure, an impressive figure and one of my absolute favorites. And I'm just noticing here, see if I can zoom in. His rub symbol is still working. It's dark blue right now because my office is hot but that is sweet. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is 1987's generation one six shot with generation one Megatron, generation one Galvatron and Titan's return six shot. 1987's generation one six shot is an amazing Transformers toy. This thing is solid, he's durable, he's fun to play with and to be honest one of the best G1 figures ever made. I absolutely love this toy. I just really, really wish they had fleshed him out more in either the G1 cartoon or Marvel comics because I think they really had a missed opportunity developing this character. So there you go guys 1987's generation one six shot. So, does the 1987 generation one six shot belong in your collection? Absolutely, this is a fantastic Transformers toy. He's big, he's solid, he's durable and he's so much fun to play with. Though trying to find one on the secondary market right now is a little expensive. When I checked earlier today finding a complete six shot will run you anywhere from $100 to $150. Now funny story about this six shot, well not really a funny story, fun fact, this figure right here I bought in 2012 was the first figure I bought after I sold off all my collection. So I bought this guy at a yard sale for like five bucks and he was really, really rough and I cleaned him up. So he was kind of my first G1 restoration and I think I did a damn good job. I mean he looks great. Also he is my very first Repro labeled G1 figure and like I said I got this guy in 2012, stuck these decals on in 2012 and they still look great. So for those of you wonder what the durability of toy hacks is there you go, these are applied in 2012. So yeah, you see a six shot pick him up you are not going to be disappointed because this is an awesome vintage Transformers toy.
