Vorath

Vorath is a Decepticon-allied Nebulan Headmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Barry Jones of eeevil.

Vorath was the former Minister of Science of the planet Nebulos. A Zarak loyalist, Vorath was expelled from his office when Galen uncovered his involvement in illegal medical experiments on live subjects. Seeking revenge, Vorath gained the chance to do so and continue his experiments with the arrival of Transformers and the creation of the Headmasters, when he agreed to binary bond to Mindwipe.

While enjoying the excitement of his new life as a Headmaster, Vorath is a scientist to the core, and the more secular-minded Nebulan's outlook often causes conflict with his more mystical-minded partner.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Serving as Lord Zarak's technical adviser, a role he continued even while acting as Mindwipe's head, Vorath reverse-engineered the Headmaster and Targetmaster technologies for the Decepticon forces on Nebulos Love and Steel! and assisted in the creation of Pretenders on Earth.

He's such a dork, a perfect match for Mindwipe.

Vorath was among several Hive members who were rebuilt as Headmasters in order to match the firepower of the Hive's rivals and their new Autobot allies. Vorath complained about being required to merge with Mindwipe, feeling that as a prestigious scientist, he deserved better than being partnered with a night-stalking bat. But Mindwipe hypnotized Vorath, who was then powerless to resist the binary-bonding process and called Mindwipe "Master" afterwards. The Rebirth, Part 2

Toy pack-in material

When Optimus became stranded on Cybertron's hemisphere of darkness with his memory damaged, Vorath joined a small strike force of Decepticons called S.T.O.P. (Seek and Terminate Optimus Prime) to either destroy or recruit the amnesic Autobot leader. Optimus Prime Is Back

As the following stories are multipath adventures, details will vary depending on the path taken. See individual pages for information on alternate paths.

Desert of Danger

In "Desert of Danger" Vorath, like all Nebulans, is mechanical rather than organic.

Vorath helped his Decepticons allies in a plot to smuggle onto Nebulos an army of Attack Squad robots. Whether or not this plot succeeded depended on the decisions that you made! Desert of Danger

Ask Vector Prime

In Primax 1086.0 Kappa, Vorath and Hi-Test, working for Mortilus Zarak, fused the remnants of Transformers defeated by the Nebulans into the entity known as Zarak Maximus. Part of their experimentation was binary bonding Zarak with the robot, which drove him insane. Ask Vector Prime

Toys

Generation 1

• Mindwipe (Headmaster, 1987)

Vorath transforms from an armored humanoid into a robot head. Though he only came with his partner, Mindwipe, in head mode, he is compatible with any other Headmaster body. On the larger Headmasters, he gives three of Mindwipe's Tech Spec stats in their display window, but the smaller ones still display their normal heads' stats due to their construction.
