Maximal Buster

Whenever a battle calls for a Maximal to use a ranged weapon to blindly fire lasers at their enemy, the Maximal Buster (サイバトロンバスター Saibatoron Basutā, lit. "Cybertron Buster") is here to help!

This is a standard-model blaster used only by Maximals, whenever their special attacks are considered too powerful for a particular battle—because, let's be honest, if a battle can be won by a single blast from, let's say Bighorn's "Buffalo Missile", the fight would be over in mere seconds.

Alternatively, the Maximal Buster is also used by Maximals that don't have ranged weapons or blasters in their regular arsenal.

Notes

• Beast Wars II Encyclopedia lists the Maximal Buster on Bighorn's page as one of his weapons, likely due to the lack of any real features beyond his "Horn Thunder" (a cartoon-original attack) and "Buffalo Missile" (a toy gimmick) attacks.
