The toys from the Brazilian sub-series commonly referred to as "Optimus vs. Malignus" do not have bios, but share the same names and molds as previous (factionless) Brazilian releases that used the same bios as their Hasbro counterparts, only in Portugese. As such, it's possible that Jipe is basically "evil Brawn". This also raises the possibility that the "good/evil" designations are retroactive for the Brazilian toys....

He also has a new "Malignus" faction sigil decal in robot mode.
