Slipstream (RID)
| The name or term "Slipstream" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Slipstream (disambiguation). |
- Slipstream is an Autobot Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Like his partner Jetstorm, Slipstream is working with his master Drift. Of the two Mini-Cons though, Slipstream is the calmer one, preferring to follow Drift's lead on and off the battlefield. He is not above celebrating with Jetstorm though, and the two seem to have good synergy with how they fight. Using his swords to cut the enemy down to size, it's not surprising that he takes a lot from Drift a little more than Jetstorm does.
Fiction

- Voice actor: Roger Craig Smith (English), Marco Benedetti (Italian)
Slipstream and Jetstorm accompanied their master to Earth when he went to collect the bounty on Bumblebee and immediately found themselves tangling with Fracture and his Mini-Cons. Slipstream tackled Divebomb until Sideswipe stepped in. The Decepticons retreated and the Autobots returned to their scrapyard base, where the two Mini-Cons were kept entertained by Russell and Fixit. They reattached themselves to Drift when Fixit detected a Cybertronian life signal, and later when Fracture attacked, Drift ordered the pair to protect Bumblebee. Despite their orders, the two Mini-Cons were drawn to protect Russell and Fixit from the Decepticon Mini-Cons, and during a distraction the pair hijacked Fracture's ship, freeing the captured Autobots and using it to threaten Fracture. Unfortunately they crashed the ship, but they did get some rare praise from Drift before they left the planet. Hunting Season

- Slipstream (Mini-Con, 2015)
- Slipstream, as an Autobot Mini-Con, transforms from a robot to a buzzsaw in a single step. He is compatible with any Deployer figure, such as Drift. He comes with a number of clear plastic accessories attached to an Autobot-insignia-shaped sprue, which can be attached to him using tabs and slots. Some of these parts can combine with those of his wavemates Divebomb, Dragonus and Sawback to form an energy lion.
