Fiction
IDW Comics continuity
Dipstick was not a happy bot when Ironfist's test run of the Lightformer cannon resulted in extensive damage to the reconstruction project, and let him and his buddies Pyro and Guzzle know in blunt terms. Guzzle attempted to justify the incident by claiming that's what Wreckers do, while Pyro tried to simply apologize for it. Unfortunately, Pyro's apology was cut brief as Rotorstorm dropped a payload, narrowly missing poor Dipstick. Understandably, he was all too happy to be rid of this troublemaking quatuor as the pick-up signal from Ultra Magnus arrived. As the soon-to-be Wreckers boarded, Pyro told Dipstick they'd be seeing him, but he quipped back that as Wreckers, they probably won't live long enough for that to happen. Rotorstorm quietly expressed his dislike of the bot as he entered the ship. Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1
Notes
- Wow, talk about your unfortunate names...
- At 46.40 of his Moonbase 2 interview, James Roberts said that originally Dipstick was going to let loose with "the rich variety of Transformers based insults and swearwords", but they had to be cut for reasons of "space and decency".
