mindwipe

In the Babylon 5 universe, the death of personality. Capital punishment has been outlawed, so the criminal's personality is executed instead. Afterwards, the criminal is given a totally new, benign personality and happily contributes to society for the rest of his natural life, never knowing how much of a monster he was before.

Transforms from bat to robot and back!

Binary-bonded to Vorath, former Nebulan Minister of Science, expelled from office as a result of an illegal experiments scandal. In bat mode, has hypnotic stare, flies at 700 mph. In robot mode, uses vipor pistol--shoots streams of neuro-circuitry paralyzing liquid.

Not the best-looking Decepticon Headmaster, at least not in bat mode. He was, well, chubby and his wings would be lucky to get him off the ground, let alone up to 700 mph. Robot mode was a lot better, nice and dark and nasty. He was the only Decepticon Headmaster to get any lines in "Rebirth", or at least any lines with complete sentences. There's always been a prejudice against animal Transformers having over-80 I.Q. levels in the cartoon, it seems. (See Grimlock, et al.)
