- 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.
Toys
Encore
- Twincast (2012)
- ID number: 22
- Transformers Encore "Cybertron Stripes" is an orange, silver, and black tiger based redeco of Ravage, included with Encore Twincast and Nightstalker. He gets Steeljaw's weapons in gold chrome (rather than the orange color featured in promotional photos). As was the case with most of the other cassettes packed with Twincast's other releases, Stripes sports a different sticker in place of his cassette spool image; an image of Scorponok which reveals the city-bot's weak spots when viewed through Twincast's clear-red chest door (in the same way Tech Spec decoders work).
Notes
- 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.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Stripes (ストライプス Sutoraipusu)
