If you think about it, Targetmasters existed before they were introduced. Targetmasters are basically transformers that turn into guns for their masters. Well, Starscream's not Megatron's master, but since Megatron transformed into a gun, anybody that held Megatron would at the time be his targetmaster. He turned into a smaller gun, I know, but just thinking about it you can pretty much figure out how they came up with "Targetmasters"

Don't forget Shockwave.

The binary bonding never came into play though.

Also, didn't Shockwave once Targetmaster himself?

Yes fellow master, and soon, when Megatron loses his cannon, he will targetmaster HIMself! :lol:

I've always felt Targetmasters should've been a bit more common. At least compared to the other 'Masters.

I suppose they kind of are. There were double-Targetmasters after all, and no double-Headmasters (Overlord is the only sort-of double-Powermaster) and since the original line, we've had a lot of other robots that have turned into guns (and other weapons) that could be used by bigger bots.

Ah, yeah. I guess for me it's just unlike Head and Powermasters, it's less invasive and if something happens to the other, you're not left basically crippled.
