By all appearances, Clipshade is a wily Decepticon crime boss and a member of the Cybercomrade Sect.

IDW Robots in Disguise comic

[edit]

Despite being a performer, Clipshade began working for Ultra Magnus in an attempt to track down the head of the Cybercomrade Sect. Posing as a sect member, Clipshade allowed himself to be arrested by Bumblebee Robots in Disguise #3 and wound up as a prisoner aboard the Alchemor. After the ship crashed on Earth, Clipshade escaped and hid out in a testing facility in the Agave Canyon. When Retrofit turned up with a Mini-Con prisoner, Clipshade's suspicions were raised and he tested her by suggesting they find Afterburner as an ally, when Afterburner was in reality a member of a rival sect. After throwing Fixit at the rapidly approaching Bumblebee, Clipshade ducked into a nearby building. He was able to evade Sideswipe and Grimlock, but Arcee succeeded in organizing the Autobots and Clipshade was soon surrounded. The unconscious Decepticon was taken back to Ultra Magnus's ship. Robots in Disguise #2

Magnus let Clipshade loose to continue the hunt for the head of the sect, and a distress call led him to Bumblebee and Grimlock. After a brief fight, he was able to fill them in on his mission and ask them who had given them the distress transmitter, as it was almost certainly the head of the Cybercomrade Sect. They returned to the U-Pack-It Self Storage Facility where Strongarm was guarding Overhead, only to find that the Decepticon had already split. Robots in Disguise #3

With Clipshade stepping down from field duty, the Autobots were forced to rely on Sideswipe to infiltrate the Sect for them. Clipshade tried to coach Sideswipe through an acting scene with Grimlock providing prompting dialogue. It...went about as well as can be expected. Robots in Disguise #4
