History

Generation 1

Marvel Comics

Wipe-Out was introduced in place of Full-Tilt, the toy character who appeared with Trypticon, and was tasked with keeping Trypticon properly oiled and serving as a smaller, more mobile operative than the massive Decepticon. Wipe-Out also took it upon himself to keep Trypticon full of confidence, complimenting the dinosaur-like giant so profusely that he became more annoying than appreciated. Wipe-Out was eventually sent on a solo mission and succeeded in kidnapping a human woman, only to run afoul of the Dinobots and meet his end at the hands-or rather tail-of Snarl. His appearance appears to be based on Tailgate, but with a modified color scheme.

A pair of toys identical except for their color schemes and logos, a nod to the fact that Wipe-Out was based on Tailgate who was originally a recolor of Windcharger.
