Or the shuttle may simply not be armed with them and she only brought plans. However I think its far more likely they work only against the Borg, especially given the references to developing them specifically for that. A simple brute force weapon wouldn't have helped Voyager, since it would still need to produce the energy to supply the warheads.

The originator of this thread said the shuttle had some. Is he incorrect?

Maybe I was wrong. TPTs may only work against the Borg since the future Janeway specificaly mentioned that she had brought weapons for use against the Borg. Or they maybe like Tri-Cobalt torpedoes. Very powerful but too unmaneuverable to hit anything smaller than a Borg Cube.

The shuttle did have some. I was correct. It maybe possible that the shuttles torpedo launchers were not configured to fire transphasic torpedoes since they are a rare and advanced type of torpedoes.
