Greatshot is described as a quiet brooding loner, and there is rumor he used to be a Decepticon, possibly Sixshot.
Besides being a six changer, Greatshot has displayed ninja diappearing skills, allowing him to seemingly disappear in a puff of smoke and teleport behind his opponents. Although the toy comes with two rifles as his only accessories, he is also depicted on the animated series as wielding two swords and being skilled enough to cut the weapons out of his opponents hands.
[edit] Animated series
Greatshot speaks in a fashion like a stereotypical samurai in the Transformers: Victory animated series, shown exclusively in Japan.
Greatshot first appeared in episode 17 of Transformers: Victory, called The Mystery Warriors of Planet Micro. In this episode Greatshot helped Star Saber and the Micromaster Rescue Patrol against the Decepticons Breastmaster Hellbat and the Pretenders Blue Bachus and Blackshadow when the villains were attacking the planet Micro for its energy. He defeated the two Decepticon Pretenders and destroyed their shells as they escaped.
Greatshot last appeared in episode 36 of Transformers: Victory, called The Resurrection of the Space Fortress.
