Mindset (G2)
:Mindset is a second generation Cybertronian Empire Decepticon in the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Mindset never does anything by halves.
A commander of some unspecified rank within the Cybertronian Empire, Mindset considers organic life to be "puddles of organic matter" incapable of creative thought. He likes to "tricurse" things and may be a Xal worshipper. Oh, and he's a decendent of the Combaticon Onslaught through budding. He gets eaten.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Generation 2
A commander in charge of pacifying (i.e. obliterating) the planet Karn to draw the Generation 1 Transformers out of hiding, Mindset proceedes with his mission in a buisness like fasion though he doesn't understand why it would work. How could anyone attatch any meaning or value to "puddles of organic matter" ? Neither does he understand why The Swarm fails to fall before his troups. As stated above he gets eaten and by his destruction mystically gives Onslaught a tummy ache. Swarm
Trivia
- Mindset's relationship with Onslaught is curious. Onslaught is presented as Mindset's ancestor, through budding, but Onslaught was likely built on Earth in 1986. (The Combaticons appeared in the US comics without explicit explanation, but it's implied that they were produced similarly to the other combiner teams. The UK comics elaborate further, claiming the designs for all the Scramble City-type combiners came from Buster Witwicky's mind.) Considering this, it seems impossible for Mindset to have been created from Onslaught millions of years ago. Oops.
