Toys

Generation 1

  • Gripper (Motorvator, 1991)
    • Accessories: Energon figure, sword
Gripper is a redeco of the Brainmaster Blacker, transforming into a Baja buggy. His incredibly simplistic transformation for his size is due to the gimmick in his torso: placing his smaller Energon figure into the open chest cavity then closing the plate pushes the inner core of the small robot up, forming the larger robot's face. The Energon figure can also "pilot" Gripper in vehicle mode.
Like the other Motorvators, Gripper lacks the Combiner kibble needed to form a Motorvator version of Road Caesar (in Gripper's case, the shield/chestplate and blaster/robot face).
Gripper was released in Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 1991, and was also released in European packaging in Japan, much like the later USA Editions.
