			===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
			In [[robot mode]] Midwipe used a viper pistol, which fired a stream of liquid that paralyzed the [[Circuit (circuit)\|neuro-circuitry]] of any mechanical being it hit, freezing the victim in their tracks for up to 30 minutes. {{storylink\|The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Mindwipe's ''Universe'' profile}}

Without Hot Rod's [[Firebolt (G1)\|own]] [[Targetmaster (technology)\|targetmaster]] [[binary bonding\|partner]], however, the fight was a one-sided affair. Mindwipe shot a spurt of pungent liquid all over Hot Rod's chest, which seeped into his circuits and quickly deactivated him. Though the ~~Viper~~ pistol would have no effect on an organic such as yourself, Mindwipe needed only use his powerful hands to deal with you. {{storylink\|Desert of Danger}}		{{notemultipath}}

			===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
			In [[robot mode]] Midwipe wielded a viper pistol which fired toxic liquid that paralyzed its target's [[neural cluster]]. {{storylink\|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|Mindwipe's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile}}

Mindwipe and Vorath are both cross-compatible with any other Generation 1 Headmaster ~~body/head.~~

	~~: The tail gets in the way and prevents the bat from standing in an upright position~~, unless one swings the tail to the front, which, while hilarious looking, isn't the correct orientation. One solution is to unscrew the toy and flip the tail over so it angles upwards. Doing this doubly benefits the [[beast mode]] in that the tail now acts as a sort of third leg for stability. Speaking of swinging to the front, his shoulders are articulated to swing his robot arms chestward in beast mode, putting the chromed "speaker"-looking bits forward, as depicted in most media... but ''not'' in the toy's instructions. Oops.
