Trip-Up
From MediaWiki
- Trip-Up is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Trip-Up of the Hot Rod Patrol is always getting into fights. He lets his fists do the talking in just about any situation, no matter how unnecessary violence — or even the threat of it — might be. Big Daddy doesn't seem to care much about his behavioral problem so long as it doesn't actively affect the team's performance on a mission... though is is mildly worried that Hubs might start thinking he should act like that too.
His name is more-than-usually inexplicable.
In Japan, the individual Micromasters received little to no individual characterization, being portrayed on the whole as childlike.
- French-Canadian name: Jambette
- Japanese name: Vanishing

Trivia
- Most — if not all — of the toys pictured in the 1991 Hasbro Transformers catalog are unfinished prototypes or mock-ups, and a variety of differences from final product pop up. In Trip-Up's case, the main difference is that the catalog has him with a blue robot mode face rather than the final toy's white.
