This article is about Trypticon's little helper from the Marvel comics. For Trypticon's little helper that became his chestplate in dino mode, see Full-Tilt{{#switch:{{#sub:Full-Tilt|-1}} != .= ?= .

Wipe-Out is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"Lord Darkstorm will be most pleased!"

A lumbering, powerful Transformer like Trypticon has many important things to attend to (like destruction). When he needs some small task done, he calls on Wipe-Out to do it. Wipe-Out serves Trypticon with an astonishing level of toadying sycophancy, layering on so many compliments that he actually irritates the giant with them.

This small Decepticon's super-quiet engine lets him perform recon work ahead of the slow-moving dinosaur, and he is armed with a grease gun. One of Wipe-Out's duties as Trypticon's all-purpose attendant includes lubricating his immense joints.

Sometimes he is an ancient Titan Master robot known as Necro. As Necro he is a macabre creature who harvests and devours the living sparks of any Transformers he and Trypticon happen upon as they travel the stars spreading doom and destruction.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Wipe-Out needs a spellchecker.

Wipe-Out arrived on Earth with Trypticon, who had been sent to directly attack the Autobots' Headquarters.

Trypticon sent Wipe-Out to scout for any possible interference while he prepared the attack. Wipe-Out encountered Rachel Becker, a human student drawn by dinosaur tracks left recently by the Dinobots. He brought her to Trypticon, who was delighted with the chance to destroy an organic, something he'd never destroyed before.

When Rachel tried to escape, Wipe-Out stopped her with his grease gun. Uncharacteristically, Grimlock attacked Trypticon to save her, but the behemoth threw the Dinobot commander against a hill. Wipe-Out then greased Grimlock's feet to keep him from retaliating, but the rest of the Dinobots joined the fray, and Wipe-Out was destroyed by Snarl. King of the Hill!

Wipe-Out's death didn’t seem to concern Trypticon much, but he may have just been distracted by Slag setting his head on fire. Stuff like that tends to be an attention grabber.

Toys

United

A celebratory jingle.
  • Windcharger vs Decepticon Wipe-Out (two-pack, January 2012)
    • ID number: UN-27
Wipe-Out is a redeco of Reveal the Shield Windcharger for the Transformers United toyline. Sold in a two-pack with United Windcharger, Wipe-Out transforms into a genericized modern muscle car that's a cross between a fifth generation [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Ford Mustang|{{#if:||Ford Mustang}}]] and a fifth generation [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Chevrolet Camaro|{{#if:||Chevrolet Camaro}}]]. The front end is primarily based on the Mustang, including a trapezoid front grille inspired by the 2010 facelift, a GT hood scoop and a chin spoiler, while the rear half of the car is heavily inspired by the Camaro's distinct curves. The shape of the taillights, meanwhile, is also taken from the Mustang's 2010 facelift. In robot mode, Wipe-Out features flip-out "grease guns" in his wrists, which feature C joint bars that can be used even when the guns are retracted.

Generations

"Nek-ro"? The proper way to say it is "Knee-cro".
  • Trypticon (Titan Class, 2017)

Notes

Once you go black, you never get made until 25 years later.
  • Wipe-Out was a comic-only character whose appearance was based on Tailgate's toy. (To clarify, Wipe-Out is not based on Tailgate's character model. Wipe-Out's details match up with the sticker on Tailgate's toy's chest, not Tailgate's character model's chest.) Artist Don Perlin has said that he was given toys from Hasbro since many of the Transformers' character models lacked art of their backs.<ref>Wipeout at Obscure Transformers</ref> Presumably, a gifted Tailgate toy was part of how this made-up little dude was born.
  • Since Tailgate was a retool of Windcharger, United Wipe-Out happened. Toy gods, we are eternally grateful.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Wipe-Out (ワイプアウト Waipu Auto)
