Clipper (G1)
- Clipper is an Autobot Micromaster from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Clipper (クリッパー Kurippā)[1] hails from Planet Micro, home of the Micromasters. She is obstensibly the "girlfriend" of Holi, though like any girl-kid-character who deals with boy-kid-characters in kid-aimed-anime, she's serious-minded and sometimes bossy and frustrated by the doofiness of her male associates, whom she's smarter than to boot.
- English-Malay dub name: Ruth

Clipper was stationed on planet Micro, where she worked for the government under Governor Riker. When Holi and the rest of the Rescue Patrol Team arrived on the planet as part of a mission, she initially blew them off due to short notice. She later berated Holi for not being as stylish as Supreme Commander Star Saber, though did retain some admiration for the young commander.Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior
When Clipper and Holi witnessed the accidental death of the Decepticon Deathcobra at fellow Decepticon Hellbat's hands, Hellbat realized he could blame the pair for Deathcobra's demise. As implausible as this seemed, the rest of Breastforce bought it, securing Hellbat's position as part of their combined form Liokaiser. The giant went after the two Micromasters, only to have Star Saber step in the way. Unite! Liokaiser
Notes
- Clipper's model is basically a leaner, visor-less rendition of the Decepticon Sports Car Patrol Micromaster Hyperdrive. A year later, that mold was released by Takara in very Clipper-esque maroon-and-white colors as part of the Autobot Super Car Patrol Team... but named Gingham (who had his own similar-but-more-toylike animation model). Still, Gingham makes a decent substitute toy for Clipper, while a semi-ambitious customizer can make do with Hyperdrive.
