Toys with flip out / hidden gun gimmicks?
"Shoot shoot bang bang" is Crankcase's game from MTMTE, and that is his gimmick.

Not including mini cons, microns, etc as otherwise I'd get nowhere 5. DOTM HA Whirl - makes a pretty mean looking gun. I am mildly regretting selling mine. 4. G1 Megatron - never particularly on my wants list as a kid, but I see it as a classic now 3. MP Shockwave - a divisive figure, but I think it's great 2. G1 Galvatron - one of the bigger Transformers I had as a kid due to being on clearance in the Coop; good chunky fun 1. Classics Megatron - vastly prefer the more colourful version, green and purple are a good fit and work as a callback to the Action Master as well as suiting the fact he turns into a toy gun. A very fun toy gun. -Jim

Honourable Mentions: Microchange MC-11 Gun Rob: never a Transformer, but released alongside two of the bellow in Microchange. I still have nightmares about when Paul Wright brought one into the pub that night! CW Shockwave a shockwave larger toys can hold! Sixshot the original Sixshot is quite fun. Sadly the Titan's Return version doesn't have a gun mode ;=-) Top 5: 5) United MegatronNerf Gun Megatron in the original colours. 4) 1986 GalvatronLights and sound! Buzz Buzz Flash! 3) 1985 ShockwaveDitto. And an iconic look too. 2) BrowningTiny Japanese exclusive but my first exposure to a TF gun that could shoot. 1) Reissue MegatronDoesn't matter which. All the bits from the US version plus the bullets, sword and firing mechanism from the Japanese version plus the accessory's firing mechanism not seen on a TF before. Phil needs a new reissue Megatron, preferably the Transformer Collection one. NICK.......

Woah. I did not know the Japanese Megatron actually fired.
That's a bit mind blowing.

I sense a trap. Surely that must cost a million pounds...

At the time I felt giddy buying it as £60 for a Transformer felt like a very expensive purchase!

Human Alliance? Transformers that generally come with non-transforming human(-oid) figures?

Ooooo.....
Do you know I hadn't considered HA as a possible inclusion for this week!
Going to have to have a think about this.....
So the answer is maybe, but if it is it's part of a larger whole.

Er, Transformers with partners? Or am I going too generic there?
(I know it's one I'd struggle to Top 5)

Transformers with partners whose alt modes are independent of the main robot.

Week 209: Toys with a smaller figure pack inThat's the precise wording I've had down for this week for a few months so you see why I ummed and ahhed at Jim's initial suggestion because I didn't specify if the included figure transformed or not! So I'm guessing that includes Metroplex, Trypticon & Metrotitan Headmasters Targetmasters Powermasters Brainmasters Breast Force Micromaster Base Robots Armada Human Alliance Power Core The initial 12 Generations Legends and probably a whole pile of others including odd one offs!

NO!
They're packed in randomly.

Also I would assume every Botcon boxset and Hasbro boxset
