- Mindwipe is a Decepticon Headmaster in the Generation 1 continuity family. Blah!
No one knows the dead quite as well as the Decepticon hypnotist, Mindwipe. A mysterious and mystical one, Mindwipe claims to have the powers to commune with Transformers who have long since left this plane of existence. From Black Sabbaths to seances to super-conductive antennaes, Mindwipe knows of many methods to reach those who now rest in peace.
Well...not really. He desperately wants to speak with the departed sparks of dead Decepticons, but all his labors to create antennae and receivers for the departed have had..."limited" success. In reality, all he's picking up are radio broadcasts of old Earth sitcoms, which he's actually become quite fond of. Still, some day, Mindwipe hopes to finally bridge the gap between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead.
Despite those shortcomings, Mindwipe is a formidable opponent, able to hypnotize and control both organic and mechanical lifeforms just by making eye contact, and with an eerie and potent precognitive "sixth sense." He is binary-bonded to the Nebulan Vorath.

Fiction

Mindwipe was one of the Decepticons who underwent binary bonding to become Headmasters. Mindwipe found that his hypnotic spells could control Vorath, making his binary bonding the most advantageous of the Decepticon/Hive alliance. The Rebirth, Part 2
The Headmasters cartoon continuity
The Headmasters manga continuity
Dreamwave continuity
During the Dark Ages, when Optimus Prime and Megatron were believed to have been killed in a space bridge test, Mindwipe was part of the Chaos Trinity that attempted to use dark science to manipulate events to their favor. When the Fallen arrived and offered them dark powers in exchange for their services, they agreed. The three managed to iniate a serious surge in factional engagements, in an attempt to isolate the Angles of Dissolution that the Fallen needed. During their attempt to secure Jetfire, Mindwipe managed to put the Autobot scientist into a trance, while Bludgeon and Bugly put Shockwave out of commission. When Grimlock, another target, surprised them, Mindwipe was confidant he could do the same to Grimlock.
He got thrown into a wall for his troubles. The Fallen had to pull their exhaust ports out of the fire.
When they went to secure Hot Spot, Mindwipe turned several of them against their teammates. However, Shockwave tracked them down, bringing Soundwave, Ravage, the Insecticons, the Seekers, and Trypticon as well. Mindwipe believed that it was time to retreat, but found that Bludgeon had already fled. Mindwipe was then slagged by Shockwave. The War Within: The Dark Ages
