Mindwipe in TF Fanfics
Mindwipe (aka Wipe in Japan) is a purple Decepticon Headmaster who is
my second favorite Decepticon. Often Transformer Fanfics either
completely ignore him or use him as background filler. Because of this
common annoyance, I decided to make a list of some of the Fanfics
where I think the author has done a good or great job giving Mindwipe
a decent part in a TF Fanfic.
There *are* other Fanfics that have Mindwipe in them, but I either
haven't read them or the Fanfic doesn't have any/enough personality
for Mindwipe.
Those Fanfics w/ an asterix by them are some of my favorite Fanfics.
Fanfics w/ him as a Main Character
Against the Autobot Empire parts 2 and 3* (tbc) by Malin Huffman
(zipped at Vulcana's WWW
page)
- This one even gives Vorath a bit of characterization.
Gnosis (done) by Jacob Milnestein
(text on this page)
- Mindwipe gets even more attention in this one than in the preceding
story of this trilogy.
Immortal Coils (done) by MaryAnn "Springer" Colrud
(text at Charlotte's WWW page)
- A very serious story which I greatly enjoyed.
Operation: Mind Wipe (done) by Sam Myers
(zipped at Vulcana's page)
- I haven't finished reading this, but I can easily say that it's a very
unusual use of Mindwipe.
Prothesis (done) by Jacob Milnestein
(text on this page)
Fanfics w/ characterization for him in at least 1 part
"Heptachromicon part 2" (done) by Joona Palaste
(text at Joona's WWW page)
- This one shows Mindwipe w/ a rather memorable accent to his voice.
"Andraxus part 4?" by Belinda Kelly
Other Major Appearances
Top 10 Ways for Mindwipe to Become More Famous by Suzanne M. Ferree
(text at Iggy's WWW page)
Significant Cameos
Apothesis (done) by Jacob Milnestein
(text on this page)
- This one gives Mindwipe a much shorter appearance than the others, but
at least indirectly he's a significant factor in the events of the
story.
The Autobot Way (done) by David Willis
- This uses Mindwipe as an effective tool (even though Mindwipe
doesn't have any speaking lines) to explore the differences between
the comic 'bots and the post-US comic/pre-G2 comic 'cons.
Manifestation of Fear (part 1) (done) by Ben Thomas
(text on his WWW page)
- It's a small cameo, but IMO it perfectly fits Mindwipe's
personality.
Misc. Mindwipe Appearances
Fanfics I haven't read yet where Mindwipe appears are the following:
- Human Urges parts 2 and 3
- Liberation parts 1 and 2
- Paranoia parts 1 & 2
- Pardon Me, Tankacons
- Play with Me part 2
