Yeah, that's the only place I've been able to find mine as well. I guess he's practically K-Mart exclusive then .

But yeah, I picked him up today cause he was on sale for $15, and I just put him in his bat mode.

Overall, the arms are giving me problems, but it's better than most fan modes. Still, I doubt it was intentional. What really seals it for me though are the feet. They just work.

The figure itself? Well he's pretty cool, except those stupid upside down knives. Would it really have been so hard to make it so he could hold them normally?

Glad to hear you had more luck with the bat mode. Sounds like the arms are the biggest thing that is out of place for him. Oh well, guess you could call it back kibble then?

Ugh... Is Mindwipe easy to find? I'm desperate for him and the scout he connects with, but i don't know about his availability and such.

He is getting harder to come by at least around here in Kansas, To this day all I have ever seen him was at Target and maybe once or twice at TRU. If you can't find him in your neck of the woods you might have to go online and pay a little more for him.

Mindwipe was in the last wave or 2 waves ago. Good luck though, it's late now and Generations and HFD are already rolling out.


I'm going to play with my Mindwipe and Skystalker now.

NIFTY!!!

I was sold on Mindwipe when I saw the combo someone had posted here a few weeks (whenever) ago with two little Skystalker figures.

He's a gorgeous figure (except for the faily energon blades) and fun to transform and super poseable. (Uhhhh, not that I like...you know, pose my toys or anything. Okay, no tea parties!)

This is pretty groovy, thanks!!

HK, somehow has a Mindwipe and THREE Skystalkers. Whut?

I am impressed and think that mode should become the official third mode. Nos I need to figure out how that happened.

I have finally got my Mindwipe and I can't get it to look anything like these pics! His ankles don't have nearly enough mobility to recreate this. Is it an illusion caused by the single point of view of a camera? It does look a bit better if I close an eye (or two!).

It is a bit of an illusion. Also, now that I have tried it, I think this guy shaved a bit off the shin extensions to allow for the feet to collapse against the legs. I figured out how the hands work, but I don't like it. If I were to use this mode, I would leave the hands in cockpit formation and swing them out as a smaller, secondary set of wings, like a Cybertronian take on a bat.

Looking closely at both Mindwipe and Skystalker, I keep thinking the stealth fighter would make a good Ratbat. Going in another direction, the larger fighter could be remade into Bomb Burst, with the smaller fighter becoming Blood (the Japanese name from Masterforce), or vice versa. Mindwipe could also have been redone as Maximal Nightscream, and Skystalker as Maximal Nightshriek. That last one would have made a lot more sense than Strafe and Sunspot.

i got the ankle joint to work perfuctley. the joint in his foot makes it so when you move the foot up it works great

also seens this is a topic about mindwipe i think this is a good time to tell you about some more modes i made.they are as follows

1. Mindwipe combined with skystalker and Divebomb
2. Mindwipe combined with to skystakers (or one Sunspot and one Skystalker in my case)

thought there was another one i maid but must of forgot

That's what I was thinking.

Yes, for once I agree with a repaint idea! (I normally hate the concept of repaints bu that's another discussion) All he needs is the stupid hair!

Again: pictures please? I've yet to open Skystalker. I'd planned on opening them together but forgot!

illusion or no, still pretty darn sweet.. i may have to do a shot with mindwipe like this next to RiD megatron in gargoyle mode

this may be a question that has been answered in the past, but does skystalker+mindwipe have any other combined mode other than simply snapping skystalker to the top of mindwipe in their jet forms?

Officially, all they do is dock.

Unofficially:

Whoa! That is awesome!

Nothing constructive to add but that has given me a new interest in finally opening my Mindwipe

Actually, I think it's totally stupid. Spindly arms, tiny head pointing at the floor, tiny arms. I just thought I'd show it. I prefer this:

to me i still like the mode were skystalker goes into mindwipes chest

also i've been trying to figure out a way to put divebomb
in the spot in mindwipes chest. the same spot you can put skystalker in. if any one figures it out pics please

That is awsome!
