Stripes: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:39, 6 November 2011

Stripes is an Autobot Mini-Cassette from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Stripes is one of Twincast's Autobot Mini-Cassettes. He transforms into a tiger.

Transformers Encore Stripes is a tiger-colored redeco of Ravage. He gets redecoes of Steeljaw's weapons.

This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail.

Stripes originated in an early draft for The Transformers: The Movie, where he was released out of Blaster's chest to combat the Decepticon Mini-Cassettes during the Battle of Autobot City. Stripes would have snapped at Ratbat, scaring him. In the finished movie, Ramhorn replaced Stripes in battling Ratbat. Since he was written out of his only intended appearance before publication, we're pretty sure that makes him the single most obscure established character to ever be given a toy—and that's saying something when he's coming out alongside a one-shot prose-only UK character and a decapitated radio.
