Alright. Who capped my chain gun?

The Decepticons' battle analyst, Calcar is a near-unfeeling machine with flawless memory for military history and tactics. And evil.

Fiction

TransTech

Calcar guarded the entrance to Gutcruncher's meeting of the various gangs in the low levels of Axiom Nexus, checking cards to make sure only those invited were allowed in.

Hubcap and Jackpot blew past him in their escape from the meeting, and he was immediately bowled over by a torrent of rushing coolant from a fluid main that had busted during their escape. Gone Too Far

Wings Universe

Calcar was a member of the Decepticon Syndicate led by Clench in 2010. He was involved in the assault on the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, and drove off the first wave of Autobots who tried to free the hostages and the facility. Standing guard outside, he tried to engage Double Punch in conversation, but the brute's accent was completely incomprehensible. Calcar appreciated the distraction caused by the Autobots' second wave, if only to give his audio receptors a break. Generation 2: Redux

A gun so powerful it shoots an extra laser bolt from an imaginary barrel.

• Calcar (Trakkon, 1993)

• Accessories: Gun platform
• Known designers: Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy), Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)

Calcar transforms into a pink and gray Sbarro Monster G concept car. Like his fellow Trakkon Fearswoop (and the Autobot Lightformers), he comes with an artillery platform that can be mounted on his vehicle mode. The platform has a light-pipe gimmick and gear system that when turned gives the illusion of twin lasers being fired at the target when looked at through the platform’s targeting scope (even though Calcar's gun has only a single gatling-style rotating barrel).

He was sold only in the European and Australasian markets during the “transitional” time between Generation 1 and Generation 2.
