Trip-Up


 * Trip-Up is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Trip-Up is always getting into fights. He lets his fists do the talking in just about any situation, no matter how unnecessary violence -or even the threat of it- might be. Big Daddy doesn't seem to care much about his behavioral problem so long as it doesn't actively affect the team's performance on a mission... though is is mildly worried that Hubs might start thinking he should act like that too.


 * (Note: The individual Micromasters received little to no individual characterization in Japan, being portrayed as a whole to be largely childlike.)


 * French-Canadian name: Jambette
 * Japanese name: Vanishing

Generation 1

 * Hot Rod Patrol (Micromaster Patrol, 1990)


 * Trip-Up transforms into a Ford Mustang hot rod with an exposed engine block. He was only available in the Hot Rod Patrol 4-pack with his teammates Big Daddy, Greaser and Hubs.

Battlestars

 * Hot Rod Team (Micro Trailer Team, 1991)


 * The Hot Rod Patrol was released in Japan during Battlestars with no notable changes. However, this version of the Team did come with Micro Trailer #2.

Trivia

 * Most --if not all-- of the toys pictured in the 1991 Hasbro Transformers catalog are unfinished prototypes or mock-ups, and a variety of differences from final product pop up. In Trip-Up's case, the main difference is that the catalog has him with a blue robot mode face rather than the final toy's white.
