Rippersnapper (G1)
- Rippersnapper is a Decepticon Terrorcon in the Generation One continuity family.
Rippersnapper has a massive inferiority complex; so he takes it out on just about everything else he deems inferior: animals, people, Autobots (Especially Autobots). Ultimately though, all these inferior traits he finds in others are just reflections of the traits he finds inferior in himself. He especially hates the odor of carbon-based lifeforms, so that means he just hates the smell of himself?
You kids and your psychoanalyzing.
Rippersnapper can combine with the other Terrorcons to form Abominus.

Rippersnapper was first spotted with his fellow Terrorcons inside Unicron's head. Galvatron used them to blast into Unicron so he could retrieve more anti-electrons for an attack against the Autobots. Rippersnapper and his consorts did a decent job in keeping the Autobots at bay, but were quickly forced into retreating when Grimlock finished building the Technobots, and giving them the ability to merge into Computron.

Later on, the Terrorcons were seen under the service of the Quintessons. When Dirk Manus and his Technobot escorts were on their way through space, Abominus swooped down and attacked, shooting them from the sky. The automatic timer in Abominus, placed within by the Quintessons, forced Abominus to separate into his Terrorcon compenments. The team was upset they couldn't finish the task of destroying the Autobots, and Rippersnapper was quick to show the most hostility, not wanting to stop now. Unable to indulge their violent impulses against the world as a group, most of the Terrorcons started fighting each other. Money is Everything

Rippersnapper is a fan of Sixshot, don't get us wrong, but he doesn't see what makes him so much better than, say, Luke Cage.
