Full-Tilt (G1)
| This article is about Trypticon's barely-existent companion/necktie. For Trypticon's assistant who got the personality instead of the toy, see Wipe-Out. |
- Full-Tilt is a Decepticon drone from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Do you remember the skidz sized car that clipped onto Trypticon's front when he was a dinasaur? I didn't think so you heartless bastards.
his name was Full-Tilt and he transformed into a small, purple all terrain car that could be launched from Trypticons little tower thing that comes out of the road in the middle of him.
He was great, i loved the little guy.

Fiction
Cartoon continuity
He's Trypticon's man-boobs (dino-boobs?). He's also a door. Call of the Primitives
His robot mode is never seen (if he even has one), and in fact no reference is ever made to him.
The Transformers manga
In the year 2010, Ultra Magnus figured it would be really cool to show a bunch of human children around Autobot City. The children were having a grand ole time until Galvatron arrived with Trypticon in tow.
To meet the threat of Trypticon, Magnus transformed Autobot City into Metroplex, who was quickly injured by Trypticon's Dual Plasma Cannons. Magnus then ordered Scamper into the fray, but Scamper was immediately defeated once Galvatron launched Full-Tilt from Trypticon's chest. Full-Tilt, apparently very overconfident, threatened to make scrap out of everyone.
As Trypticon continued to pound the oil out of Metroplex, Ultra Magnus ordered another City Warrior into action, Six-Gun! Before Full-Tilt could administer the final blow with Brunt, Six-Gun took him by surprise... punching him in the face. (Six-Gun apparently prefers melee combat despite being made entirely out of guns.) Six-Gun then took control of Brunt and blasted Trypticon in the chest, injuring him enough to force Galvatron to call a retreat.
The children rejoiced. The Transformers issue 3
The Transformers: Call of the Future
Full-Tilt is unlocked after defeating Springer a second time in the Decepticon storyline. Trypticon arrives and offers to help, but quickly realises that he is of extremely limited usefulness in the search for the Zel-Quartz, an incredibly powerful energy source. His massive size (even though in-game he is only about the size of combiners Predaking, Computron and Raiden) makes him a liability in a search, so he sends Full-Tilt in his stead.
On the Autobot side, Full-Tilt is surprisingly the second last boss (along with Soundwave and Soundblaster) before facing Megatron and Galvatron in the final stage of the game. Upon entering, the following dialogue takes place:
Soundblaster: You finally made it, Autobots.
Soundwave: But you won't get in Megatron's way!
Full-Tilt: DIE!
In game, Full-Tilt fights similarly to car-mode Autobots (i.e. his vehicle mode attacks are ramming and spinning).
Marvel comics continuity
Like the cartoon, Full-Tilt is only seen as Trypticon's breastplate. His functional nonexistence is reinforced by his omission from Trypticon's Transformers Universe entry. Moreover, his potential role as Trypticon's helper is filled by Wipe-Out.
Dreamwave comics continuity
Full-Tilt finally exists, with a robot mode and everything! But only as one of the two "battlefield drones" that Trypticon controls (the other being Brunt the tank). More Than Meets The Eye #7
Sigh.
IDW comics continuity
Full-Tilt attended the underground gladiatorial combat matches in Kaon's Forge. He saw Megatron totally impale Cy-Kill with his sword, then work him over with his mining vehicle mode. But what really brought the house down was when Megatron used a pick to deliver the coup de grâce, then take off his helmet to let his long, luxurious hair flow in the wind. Full-Tilt was absolutely nuts for that, he was all like- "Yaaa!" and pumping his fist in the air.
