Mindwipe: The Master of Mental Terror
In the Transformers universe, Mindwipe is one of the most disturbing and mysterious Decepticons. A member of the formidable Headmasters , he is distinguished by his ability to manipulate the minds of his opponents, transforming fear and confusion into ultimate weapons. Where tyrants like Megatron impose domination by force, Mindwipe prefers to break his enemies from within, through mind control and psychological terror.

Mindwipe is not content with physical victory: he enjoys reducing his enemies to the state of mental prey. He takes pleasure in creating doubt, paranoia, and the deepest fear within his victims.
Unlike rational figures such as Shockwave , Mindwipe acts almost like a nocturnal predator, feeding on emotional distress. He often maintains an implicit rivalry with other Headmasters like Hardhead or Chromedome , whom he considers too "concrete".
His cold and sadistic personality makes him one of the most disturbing Decepticons, as he transforms war into a traumatic psychological experience.
