'''Mindset''' never does anything by halves. <br />
<br />
A commander of some unspecified rank within the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]], Mindset considers organic life to be "puddles of organic matter" incapable of creative thought. He likes to "tricurse" things and may be a [[Xal]] worshipper. Oh, and he's [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]]'s son through [[Reproduction|budding]]. He gets eaten.<br />

A commander in charge of pacifying (i.e., obliterating) the planet [[Karn]] to draw the Autobots and Decepticons out of hiding, Mindset proceeded with his mission in a businesslike fashion, though he didn't understand why the plan would work. How could anyone attach any meaning or value to these "puddles of organic matter"? Neither did he understand why the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]] failed to fall before his troops' firepower. He and his [[stormtrooper (Cybertronian)|stormtroopers]] were devoured, despite his protests, and his destruction mystically gave Onslaught, light years away, sharp pains. {{storylink|Swarm (issue)|Swarm}}<br />

Mindset was one of the many "offworlder" beings attending [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s meeting of the numerous gangs that made up [[Axiom Nexus]]'s underworld. {{storylink|Gone Too Far}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
* Mindset's relationship with Onslaught is curious. Onslaught is implicitly presented as Mindset's ancestor through budding, but Onslaught was likely built on Earth in 1986. (The Combaticons appeared in the US comics without explicit explanation, but it's implied that they were produced similarly to the other combiner teams. The UK comics elaborate further, claiming the designs for all the [[Combiner|Scramble City]]-type combiners came from [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]'s mind.) Considering this, it seems impossible for Mindset to have been created from Onslaught millions of years ago. Oops.<br />
* Then again, in the US comics it was never stated openly or alluded to that the Combaticons were created the same way ('stealing' the Matrix's power through the cerebro-shell implanted in Optimus Prime) as the Stunticons. It is entirely possible that they came through the Space Bridge as reinforcements. Further confirming this is that Onslaught is a tactical genius with a lot of battlefield experience, something that he couldn't have gained magically in a matter of days after his creation on Earth.<br />
