Who is Sureshot?

Sureshot is an Autobot who debuted in the Transformers: Headmasters limited series. A Targetmaster, he is paired with a Nebulan partner who transforms into his rifle, granting him exceptional marksmanship abilities in battle against Decepticon forces.

Few characters carry the distinction of launching alongside one of Marvel's most beloved spin-off series, but Sureshot debuted in the very first issue of The Transformers: Headmasters in 1987, brought to life by the legendary Transformers creative team of Bob Budiansky and Frank Springer right at the dawn of the Copper Age. Appearing across pages shared with titans like Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, and the fearsome Scorponok, this Autobot has kept genuinely iconic company throughout their run. With appearances spanning an impressive 38 years β€” from that landmark debut through to 2025 β€” and a presence in core series like The Transformers and the Transformers Compendium, Sureshot is a rewarding discovery for any collector digging deeper into Marvel's rich Transformers universe.
