X-Gunner give it to ya!

X-Gunner (イクスガンナー Ikusuganā)^[1] is one obsessed dude. He's obsessed with combat. He's obsessed with being the very best in combat. As such, he's obsessed with constantly upgrading his body and weapon systems. And to that end, he has become obsessed with his old Autobot Cyberjet comrade, Delta Seeker. X-Gunner longs to smash Delta into the ground and wrench his "Gauntlet Frame" missile launcher from the Autobot's arm socket, using it to upgrade his own Gauntlet Frame.^[2]

There can be only one.

Metrowars

X-Gunner was among Straxus's forces stationed aboard the mighty Metrotitan. He was part of the assault on the weakened Scramble City, and in the heat of battle, was finally able to take Delta Seeker's special Gauntlet Frame arm, though Delta survived the encounter otherwise intact. Though he scored a personal victory in the fight, X-Gunner was ultimately forced to retreat when the partially-rebuilt—and severely upsized—Metroplex entered the fray and blasted the crap out of Metrotitan.

Robotmasters 3D diorama comic

X-Gunner manned a secret Decepticon base at Space Point X that appeared to be just an ordinary artificial satellite orbiting Earth. When Delta Seeker came snooping around, X-Gunner emerged from the satellite and shot out some of his new homing missiles. However, X-Gunner was hoist by his own petard when Delta Seeker fooled the missiles into colliding with the base, destroying it. Robotmasters Vol. 6

I used to be a gunner.

• Delta Seeker vs. X-Gunner (Two-pack, 2004)

• ID number: RM-20
• Accessories: 2 missiles

Part of the fifth wave of Takara's Robotmasters toys, X-Gunner is a redeco of the Generation 2 Cyberjet Space Case, transforming into a forward-swept-wing fighter jet resembling a Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut. In both modes, he has a pressure-launch missile launcher. Unlike the other Cyberjet molds, he actually has two "normal" robot mode hands, rather than his whole right forearm being taken up with the "Gauntlet Frame" launcher.

He was available only in a two-pack with the Autobot Delta Seeker.
