Eagleshot Bow

A precise, persistent weapon, the Eagleshot Bow is a fitting weapon for a scout like Bumblebee. Its sensors can target potential baddies up to three miles away, while the bow fires homing plasma bolts that can intelligently weave past obstacles and corners, dealing a fair bit of metal-melting damage upon impact.

When upgraded to the Eaglefire Bow, it becomes completely silent in addition to being deadly. It also shrouds its targets with a stealth field, ensuring that nobody will hear them dropping like flies.

Fiction

Full of Fire!

Ratchet built the Eagleshot Bow for Bumblebee to use in their battle again the Predacons. On its first test, Bumblebee successfully shot a target 2.76 miles away. When the Autobots were attacked by Predacons in the New Mexico desert, Ratchet attached the bow to Bumblebee's roof, and the scout blasted Predaking with it. It later proved just as successful against Twinstrike. Full of Fire!
