[[Image:|right|250px|thumb|grrrrsnortCANDYGRAM!!]] Rippersnapper has a massive inferiority complex; so he takes it out on just about everything else he deems inferior: animals, Autobots, people, Autobots, and quite frequently 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 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Abominus" title="Abominus">Abominus</a>.

[[Image:|left|180px|thumb|Kup keeps yelling at him to get off the lawn.]] Rippersnapper was first spotted with his fellow Terrorcons inside <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron" title="Unicron">Unicron</a>'s head. <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Galvatron_%28G1%29" title="Galvatron (G1)">Galvatron</a> used them to blast into Unicron so he could retrieve more <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Anti-electron" title="Anti-electron">anti-electrons</a> 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 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Grimlock_%28G1%29" title="Grimlock (G1)">Grimlock</a> finished building the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Technobots" class="mw-redirect" title="Technobots">Technobots</a>, and gave them the ability to merge into <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Computron" title="Computron">Computron</a>. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Grimlock%27s_New_Brain" title="Grimlock's New Brain">Grimlock's New Brain</a></span>
Later on, the Terrorcons were seen under the service of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Quintessons" class="mw-redirect" title="Quintessons">Quintessons</a>. When <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dirk_Manus" title="Dirk Manus">Dirk Manus</a>
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. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Money_is_Everything" class="mw-redirect" title="Money is Everything">Money is Everything</a></span>

While the other Terrorcons were having fun, Rippersnapper seemed more serious than the others: dedicated to proving how powerful they were to the Nebulans, and disgusted at the idea of organic life instead of mechanical. The Decepticons were soon driven off by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Computron" title="Computron">Computron</a> and the Autobot <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Headmaster_%28technology%29" title="Headmaster (technology)">Headmasters</a>, though. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Love_and_Steel%21" title="Love and Steel!">Love and Steel!</a></span> Later, Rippersnapper joined Scorponok and the Terrorcons in confronting the Autobot <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Targetmaster" title="Targetmaster">Targetmasters</a> at Nebulos's <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Nursery&action=edit" class="new" title="Nursery">Nursery</a>. Interestingly, Rippersnapper was the only Terrorcon waiting around in his beast mode when Zarak came calling on the Terrorcons for the mission. At the Nursery, Rippersnapper lobbed several missiles towards the Autobots, only to cause serious damage to the botanical gardens instead. Seeing the building they came to protect being destroyed, the Autobots fled rather than risk causing further damage. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Brothers_in_Armor%21" class="mw-redirect" title="Brothers in Armor!">Brothers in Armor!</a></span>

<i>In 2009, an apocalyptic time storm was raging through space while Rippersnapper and the Terrorcons were working with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Soundwave_%28G1%29" title="Soundwave (G1)">Soundwave</a>
on Earth to extract energy from the planet's core. Bored with the
construction process, Rippersnapper and the others went out to play
among the humans, taking advantage of the fear and doomsday warnings
spreading through the populace. He may have even squished a sidewalk
preacher! Anyway, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hun-Gurrr" title="Hun-Gurrr">Hun-Grrr</a>
came to collect his minions and they returned to the extraction site,
only to be attacked by the Autobots. Rippersnapper left for cover, but
that only left the Autobots with a clear shot at their true target: the
laser bore. Soundwave and the Terrorcons tracked the Autobots back to
their <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Trans-Time_Dimensional_Portal" title="Trans-Time Dimensional Portal">trans-time dimensional portal</a>, and were briefly involved in the Time Wars of 1989 before returning to the future. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Time_Wars" title="Time Wars">Time Wars</a></span></i>

Rippersnapper was a fan of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sixshot" title="Sixshot">Sixshot</a>. He and the other Terrorcons were deployed to <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mumu-Obscura" title="Mumu-Obscura">Mumu-Obscura</a>, but were taken prisoner by the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Reapers" title="Reapers">Reapers</a>
to lure Sixshot to the planet. The Reapers offered membership to their
little club so long as Sixshot destroyed the Terrorcons, to which
Rippersnapper reacted with shock. After Sixshot declined the
invitation, the Reapers allowed the Decepticons to leave in peace. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spotlight:_Sixshot" title="Spotlight: Sixshot">Spotlight: Sixshot</a></span>
