Mindwipe (ROTF)
| This article is about the Revenge of the Fallen Decepticon. For the Generation 1 Decepticon Headmaster, see Mindwipe (G1). |
- Mindwipe is an Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
Mindwipe isn't like the other Decepticons. While they focus on attacking your body, he prefers to go for the mind. Using the power of hypnosis, he subverts the programming and wills of his opponents and directs them to perform his dirty work. This makes him very much a hands-off individual. Staying aloft and away from the action below, he allows his near-zombified minions to fight his battles for him. The only being immune to his abilities is Optimus Prime, the Matrix-bearer. But when the universe shuts a door, it opens a window, and if Mindwipe can't attack the Autobot leader directly...well, his nearest and dearest work just as well.

When Ironhide stumbled into the cave where Mindwipe had been hiding out, Mindwipe promptly hypnotised the Autobot and made him start gathering up the energon crystals which littered the cave floor. This situation didn't last for long, as Optimus Prime came in search of Ironhide and blasted Mindwipe from the ceiling. Mindwipe's blustering at this unwanted intrusion was interrupted by a punch from Prime. Recovering, he responded by trying to hypnotise Prime as well, but his mojo was not strong enough to overcome Prime's will. Mindwipe transformed and attempted to flee, only to be blasted by Optimus. His hold over Ironhide was broken. Cyber Missions 5

- Mindwipe transforms from a bat-like robot into something similar to a F-117 Nighthawk stealth ground attack aircraft. He has two flip-out swords/daggers slung under his arms that he can deploy to use as weapons. Skystalker can attach to the top of Mindwipe's alternate mode. Although not noted in the instructions, his feet can pivot to make him more stable.
