	:Gripper is a [[redeco]] of the [[Brainmaster]] [[Blacker#Toys\|Blacker]], transforming into a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes\|Baja buggy]]. His incredibly simplistic transformation for his size is due to the [[gimmick]] in his torso: placing his smaller Energon figure into the open chest cavity then closing the plate pushes the inner core of the small robot up, forming the larger robot's face. The Energon figure can also "pilot" Gripper in vehicle mode.		: Released in the seventh year of the [[The Transformers (European toyline)\|European-market ''Transformers'' toyline]], Motorvator Gripper is a [[redeco]] of the [[Brainmaster]] [[Blacker#Toys\|Blacker]], transforming into a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes\|Baja buggy]]. His incredibly simplistic transformation for his size is due to the [[gimmick]] in his torso: placing his smaller "Energon figure" into the open chest cavity then closing the plate pushes the inner core of the small robot up, forming the larger robot's face. The Energon figure can also "pilot" Gripper in vehicle mode.

	:Like the other Motorvators, Gripper lacks the Combiner [[kibble]] used by Blacker to form [[Road Caesar]] (in Gripper's case, the shield/chestplate and blaster/robot face), but can still be combined with the other two to form an incomplete [[Big Motorvator\|Motorvator combiner]].		:Like the other Motorvators, Gripper lacks the Combiner [[kibble]] used by Blacker to form [[Road Caesar#Toys\|Road Ceasar]] (in Gripper's case, the shield/chestplate and blaster/robot face), but can still be combined with the other two to form an incomplete [[Big Motorvator\|Motorvator combiner]].

	:Gripper was released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand ~~in 1991~~, and was also released in European packaging in ~~Japan, much like the later~~ [[~~USA Edition~~]]s.		: Gripper was released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and was also released in Japan in lightly-modified European packaging (mainly just stickers with legal information in Japanese) during [[1992]]'s ''[[Fight!
