- Pincher is an Autobot Pretender in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Pincher is the Autobots' most notorious mad scientist since Wheeljack. A master of chemical cocktails, Pincher enjoys combining dangerous fluids of all kinds, whether it's a good idea or not. He can often be heard cackling to himself in his laboratory. A hard-working over-achiever, Pincher never knows when to quit, even when maybe he should. What he really needs is a good, honest hunchback to assist him, and keep him from blowing himself up with his own work.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Pincher was commanding Longtooth and Doubleheader on a search expedition for the lost Creation Matrix. Their mission brought them to Gottlieb and a harbor where a reanimated creature called the Klud was attacking fishing boats. Suspecting the creature's miraculous return may've been caused by exposure to the Matrix, the Autobots went looking for it, only to have Longtooth get his leg bitten off by the Klud. The crippled Autobot went rogue after that, hunting down the Klud for vengeance like a modern-day Ahab. Pincher and Doubleheader were placed in the uneasy position of having to terminate their fellow Autobot, or allow him to murder a (relatively) innocent lifeform in cold blood. Matters became even more complicated when the Decepticon Mayhem Attack Squad jumped the Pretenders before they could reason with Longtooth. Pincher managed to break free during the attack and confront the adle-brained Longtooth with the vows he took as an Autobot to protect all life. In the end, they survived the Decepticon attack, and Pincher's speech succeeded in staying Longtooth's hand -- the Bionic Baby Beluga went free. Deadly Obsession
IDW Comics continuity
