"Just one look from me and you've lost."
Personalidad:
Mindwipe is perhaps the most mysterious and definitely
the most mystical of all the Decepticons. When not
performing his duties as a Decepticon warrior, he devotes
his time to trying to establish contact with the
electromagnetic essences of long-dead Decepticons. He
hopes that by communicating with them he can learn from
them and avoid making the same mistakes they did when
they fought and were eventually defeated by the Autobots.
So far, despite designing and constructing numerous
receivers, antennas and other equipment, his labors has
borne only limited success. He has managed to pick up a
few stray broadcast signals bouncing around outer space
from some Earth television programs of the 1950s and 60s,
but little else. Of them, the TV show once known as
"My Mother The Car" is his favorite.
Mindwipe is binary-bonded to Vorath, the former Minister of Science
of the planet Nebulos. Vorath was expelled from his
office when Galen, a member of the ruling Council of
Peers, uncovered Vorath's involvement in illegal medical
experiments. When contingents of Autobots and Decepticons
arrived on Nebulos and plunged the planet into war,
Vorath saw an opportunity for revenge on Galen. Galen had
allied himself with the Autobots, so Vorath eagerly
volunteered to undergo the bio-engineering process that
gave him the ability to transform and become the head
module of Mindwipe. Although things didn't work out
exactly as Vorath had hoped, he fully enjoys his new life
as a Decepticon Headmaster.
Habilidades:
In bat mode Mindwipe can fly at a maximum speed of 700
miles per hour, has a range of 1200 miles and has great
strength. His eyes emit a sub-optic radiation that,
although invisible, has the effect of overriding the
self-will circuitry of almost any mechanical being who is
unfortunate enough to look into them. In other words, he
has the power to hypnotize Transformers. In robot mode he
uses a viper pistol, which shoots a stream of liquid that
paralyzes the neuro-circuitry of any mechanical being it
hits, freezing the victim in his tracks for up to 30 minutes.
Debilidades:
In his attempts to contact departed Decepticons, Mindwipe
often becomes so involved in his self-induced trance-like
states that he is unaware of anything else. This leaves
him extremely open to enemy attack. He can be just as
vulnerable while watching an old TV show, depending on
how much he likes it.
