Ricochet from The Transformers (2017 TV Series).
Bio[]
His friends call Ricochet mercurial — to his face. Under their breath, they might mutter manic depressive. Ricochet shifts without notice between a furious passion for combat and sulking, angsty depression, needing to be coerced and cajoled onto the battlefield. His fellow Nebulan Boomer takes it on himself to cheer up Ricochet when this happens. Fortunately, he's good at this.
On Nebulos, Ricochet was a renowned environmental sculptor.
Ricochet was bio-engineered to turn into an automatic submachine gun that fires titanium-tipped, armor-piercing explosive rounds. As a Nebulan Targetmaster partner, Ricochet is able to combine with Boomer to increase the power of his own weapon or boost the power of Boomer's sonic pulse cannon.
Ricochet responds poorly to criticism.
History[]
Arc 3[]
Ricochet was among a group of Nebulans who, at great risk to themselves, joined the outlawed Autobots during Zarak and Scorponok's reign of terror on Nebulos. After undergoing the bio-engineering process that allowed them to transform into replacement weapons, they partnered with the nine Autobots who had surrendered their weapons some months earlier. Ricochet and Boomer partnered with Quickmix. But their first mission turned out rather disastrously; despite the fact the Targetmaster upgrade had given their forces the firepower necessary to overwhelm the Decepticons, the conflicts between Autobots and Decepticons were simply too destructive. When Ricochet and his allies tried to defend The Nursery from a Decepticon incursion, the whole place was left in ruins.
Afterwards, the Autobots came to realize that the only way to spare Nebulos from further destruction was to quit the planet altogether. Following a distress signal, they left for planet Earth, with the Decepticons in close pursuit. |Brothers in Armor|
After the upgrade work on Fortress Maximus was completed as the Steelhaven traveled to Earth; the crew questioned Galen's intentions and almost power-hungry preparations for war. Their leader dismissed their concerns, noting that he was simply adjusting to their changing circumstances. The argument would soon become a moot point, as a battle soon broke out against the Decepticons, which wound up costing Galen his life. |Trial by Fire|
Ricochet, Boomer, Quickmix, and the other Targetmasters accompanied Fortress Maximus in an assault on the Decepticons' island base. |The Desert Island of Space|
