Psych Out is a G.I. Joe-aligned human from the Transformers vs. G.I. Joe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
"The enemy's mooning us. Just ignore him, guys."

Psych Out is not only G.I. Joe's resident counselor, but their expert on deceptive and psychological warfare as well. He is more interested in missions that lead to the accumulation of knowledge, rather than the destruction of enemy forces.

Fiction

[edit]

Transformers vs. G.I. Joe

[edit]

After a hostile encounter with the extra-terrestrials from planet Cybertron, several members of G.I. Joe were dispatched to invade the mechanical planet, Psych Out among them. One of Psych Out's tasks was handing out "little blue pills" to his fellow Joes, to be popped in case they were ever caught in an inescapable situation. Psych Out was also tasked with analyzing the alien world. Form Follows Function

As the Joes began their attack on Cybertron by sending down "green bombs" from the air, Psych Out noted that they were squandering the opportunity to study an alien world by contaminating it with foreign organisms. Scarlett dismissed his grievances, and continued with the air-strikes, targeting the mobile city of Trypticon next. Unfortunately, the Joes discovered it was protected by a forcefield, and their attack provoked a counter-strike from the Cybertronians. The G.I. Joes' ships were taken down by Devastator, forcing them to split up and reconvene at Green Zone 0-8-6, their temporary base on the alien world. Targetmasters

Psych Out was then assigned to a group entrusted with the destruction of the massive furnaces at Cybertron's north pole. After marking the furnaces to be destroyed by G.I.Rockets, the Joes were accidentally ensnared in one of Imhotep Rodimus's turborat traps. The Joes were freed from their prison when Blaster, one of Rodimus's fellow Autobots, scuffled with his enslaved comrade. At this time, the G.I. Rockets began to rain down onto the planet's furnaces. The Joes only managed to escape certain doom by hitching a ride atop of Rodimus's vehicle mode as he blazed out of the explosions' range. Form Follows Function Rodimus brought the group back to Metroplex, the Autobots' mobile city. There, they learned that the rest of the Joes had allied themselves with the Autobots to take on the evil Cybertroninans, the Decepticons... Who were attacking at that very moment! After an arduous battle, the Decepticons and their Cobra allies were forced into a tactical retreat. Everybody Hates Metroplex

When General Flagg asked why Rodimus had chosen Perceptor to act as a double agent in the Decepticon ranks, Psych Out started to explain before Flagg cut him off by telling him it was a rhetorical question. Earth: R.I.P.
