Hi-Test (RID)

This article is about the Robots in Disguise Mini-Con. For the Generation 1 Nebulan Powermaster, see Hi-Test (G1).

Hi-Test is an Autobot Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

A team always has a bad member, a least experienced player, a weakest link. Hi-Test is that weakest link. Among Soundwave's group of Mini-Con subordinates, Hi-Test doesn't succeed as the others do. Its not that he's dumb, it's just he lacks the skill in thievery his teammates have. Sadly for him, Soundwave is not having it.

Sometimes, he works with a much better boss: Optimus Prime.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

He knows 'what's the worst that can happen' is a terrible thing to ask, but he's asking it anyway.

Hi-Test surreptiously observed Strongarm and Nightra patroling a forest road. He attempted to steal Strongarm's Decepticon Hunter only to disturb some birds, prompting Nightra to run and Strongarm to follow. Hi-Test later opened a GroundBridge portal to report back to Soundwave, who berated him for his failure. Frightened, Hi-Test fled, with Soundwave threatening to offline Hi-Test. Guilty As Charged

Toys

• Optimus Prime & Hi-Test (Activator Combiner, 2017)

Part of the third wave of 2017 Activator Combiner toys, Hi-Test comes with the larger Optimus Prime. In robot mode, the cannons end up covering his arms, but can be folded up onto his shoulders to reveal regular arms sculpted underneath. Unlike those of other Activators Mini-Cons, Hi-Test's instructions give him separate and distinct vehicle and weapon modes.
