- Clipper is an Autobot Micromaster from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Clipper was stationed on planet Micro, where she worked for the government under Branch Chief Raikuru. When Holi and the rest of the Rescue Patrol Team arrived on the planet as part of a mission, she blew off Holi's offer of a rendezvous in the training room, due to short notice. She later had tea with Star Saber, the Rescue Team and Jan, complimenting the Supreme Commander on his dashing personality, and telling Holi he should aim to be as stylish. When the Autobots were alerted to a Decepticon attack, she told Holi to be careful, touching his hand and turning his face beet red.
Following the inevitable Decepticon defeat, she told Holi she was looking forward to hearing all about Earth from him at a later time, provoking another blush, to the merriment of the other Autobots. Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior
Some time later, Holi, Clipper, and Jan went out patrolling the countryside for the Breastforce, soon spotting Hellbat flying overhead. They tailed him to the mountains, where the Decepticon met with a new potential Breastforce member, Deathcobra. After Hellbat accidentally killed his fellow, he spotted the two Micromasters and convinced the rest of the Breastforce that the Autobots were responsible for Deathcobra's death. As implausible as this seemed, the other Decepticons bought it and attacked Holi and Clipper, who fought back. Clipper's hand took a direct hit, but the pair were saved by the arrival of Star Saber, allowing them to escape by clinging to the side of the V-Star.
Though horrified at the Breastforce's new ability to form Liokaiser, Holi intended to help Star Saber flight, and asked Clipper to contact Raikuru.

Notes
[edit]
- Clipper's model is basically a leaner, visor-less rendition of the Decepticon Sports Car Patrol Micromaster Hyperdrive. A year later, that mold was released by Takara in very Clipper-esque maroon-and-white colors as part of the Autobot Super Car Patrol Team... but named Gingham (who had his own similar-but-more-toylike animation model). Still, Gingham makes a decent substitute toy for Clipper, while a semi-ambitious customizer can make do with Hyperdrive.
