Slipstream (G1)
| The name or term "Slipstream" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Slipstream (disambiguation). |
- Slipstream is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The only thing sharper than Slipstream's acerbic tongue is her keen mind—whether as a soldier or a spy-for-hire, she gets that job done and always keep her true agenda shielded. Sometimes she's known to be a clone of Starscream; in other times and places, nobody knows where she comes from at all. Who is Slipstream? Someone fast, deadly, and able to shield her energy signature is all you need to know.
Slipstream keeps herself a blank slate, but she's certainly got Starscream's legendarily volcanic temperament!

Legends
- Legends Slipstream is a retool of Generations Windblade with a new head, chest, and forearms based on her cartoon design. She transforms into a jet with tilting, spinning VTOL fans and fold in front landing gear. She features new arm-mounted weapon instead of Windblade's sword and scabbard. She was packaged with volume 16 of the Legends Bonus Edition comic.
- This mold was also redecoed into BotCon 2016 souvenir Airazor, and served as the basis of the non-toy Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of Stiletto.
Notes
- Legends and Earth Wars used different bios: the former having her as a quick-to-rage Starscream clone à la Animated, the latter as a mysterious enigma spy, drawing on her Aligned counterpart's Timelines profile (which was rather circumstance-specific; see her page for details). We've bashed them together until they fit.
