Mindwipe is a Decepticon you do not want to mess with. He is a skilled fighter on his own, but prefers to use his mind control to amass an army of other robots to fight for him, while maintaining a safe (and high) distance. The only known Cybertronian immune to this is Optimus Prime, and that's only because of his possesion of the Matrix. He works closely with his partner in crime, Skystalker.
