Motto: "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong... to me, that is."

Appearance: White and bright yellow retool of Cybertron Blurr, with G1 Jackpot's "bookie visor" head design.

Bio: The Autobots consider Jackpot to be their lucky petrorabbit's foot. It seems like whenever he's present, things have an uncanny knack for going well for everyone around him.

This would be fine by Jackpot, if it wasn't for the fact that, at the same time, everything always goes wrong for him personally. To be precise, it seems like every time something might possibly go bad for someone near Jackpot, it somehow manages to happen to him instead. Misery and ill fortune seem to be drawn to him like a magnet. As a result, the other Autobots are always trying to drag Jackpot along on their missions to ensure they'll have good luck. Meanwhile, Jackpot keeps trying his best to avoid being dragged along, in the hopes that being by himself will convince the universe to stop tormenting him for a short while.

He would go ahead and end his miserable existence altogether if it wasn't for the fact that mortal injury seems to be the only occasion where his luck isn't terrible. Any time something happens to him that ought to be deadly, he always manages to just barely avoid getting sent offline somehow. "Horribly mangled" is still a frequently possible state, however.

His "partner" is Sights, a small avian-mode Transformer who pretends to sympathize with Jackpot's plights and offer him kind words and consolations. In reality, though, Sights is a petty thief and conman who's just interested in finding ways to exploit Jackpot's strange luck for his own schemes and trickery.

Weapons/Abilities: Aside from his positive effect on his fellow Autobots and odds-beating survival ability, subject has a photon rifle that can be amplified by Sights' transformation into a photon cannon altmode.

Weaknesses: Tends to spend too much time trying to deal with the bad events that happen to him to be able to provide much in the way of offensive ability or other proactive activities.
For :icontemple-phoenix:, who wanted more Shattered Glass Action Masters.

I couldn't think of what to do with most of the Action Masters, admittedly, but Jackpot and Sights seemed like they had kind of gimme ideas to write up. Ended up deciding to give him Cybertron Blurr's toy mold.
