Plasma-shell shotgun

Good luck catching Getaway. There isn't a cell he can't bust out of, an ambush he can't slip out of, or pursuer he can't leave in the dust (well, most of the time). On the rare occasions he's cornered, his trusty double-barrelled plasma-shell shotgun will let him blast his way out of whatever jam he's in.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Getaway was armed with a double-barrelled plasma-shell shotgun. Getaway's Universe profile

In an attempt to prevent Darkwing and Throttle from stealing the floppy disk containing Optimus Prime's personality from Alternate Reality's warehouse, Getaway blasted Darkwing in the leg with his plasma-shell shot-gun. Unfortunately, the injured Decepticon dived into cover and when Getaway tried to shoot him again, Darkwing returned fire with his electro-kinetic blasters, destroying the shot-gun. Prime Bomb!

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Toys

The Transformers

• Getaway (Powermaster, 1988)

• Accessories: Rev Powermaster unit, laser

Although labelled simply as a laser in Getaway's instructions, the packaging bio accompanying his Tech Specs identifies his weapon as a double-barrelled, plasma-shell shotgun despite it only having one barrel.

Notes

• Alongside his packaging bio, both Getaway's Marvel Universe and Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profiles describe his shotgun as having two barrels and both are accompanied by artwork of him holding a weapon that only has one barrel.
