Gunbarrel isn't much in the personality department. He rarely speaks, and prefers his vehicle mode to his robot mode. He doesn't use his brain module much, except to work out firing solutions on distant targets. In fact, he'd have his brain removed entirely if it'd make room for another cannon. His firepower is unmatched. Anyone up against him in a fight should just be thankful that his imagination and intelligence don't match up to the power of his weapons.

===IDW Publishing===
Gunbarrel is among the Decepticons who arrived on Earth under the direction of Soundwave in ''[[Transformers: Alliance]]'' #3. He arrives in [[Italy]] and assumed the form for an Earth tank.

===Books===
In the novel ''The Veiled Threat'' a Decepticon named Payload is described as being an anti-aircraft tank. It is unknown if this could be a missnamed version of Gunbarrel, a new form of the Decepticon known as Payload, or a completely new character.

===Toys===
*'''''Transformers'' Scout Gunbarrel''' (unreleased)
:Gunbarrel is a redeco of ''Energon'' Kickback and Blight, as well as ''Timelines'' [[Landquake]]. He is to be a Target store exclusive. Although pictures and leaked toys have appeared on the internet and he's been listed on toy lists at Hasbro's web site, the toy wave he is a part of has not yet been sold in Target stores. A real Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard is 768 centimeters long, while this toy is 10 centimeters long, giving it a scale of about 1:77. With the toy standing 11 centimeters tall as a robot, the real world robot would stand about 847 centimeters (27 feet 9 inches) tall.
