Packaging

Titans Return Mindwipe comes in the normal Delux Class packaging from Hasbro. The front of the box lets you see the figure strapped inside with WAY to many plastic restraints as always (9 of them), and shows the head of Mindwipe flying away as Vorath. The back of the packaging shows his two different modes and has a brief explanation of the characters.

Robot Mode

Mindwipe is actually fairly well detailed in Robot mode, his design is good and his joints move easily, his block style legs do make it a bit hard to pose him but they keep him stable. I like the color design on this figure the brown & black areas keep the purple toned down a bit so it is not overpowering the figure.

Bat Mode

Transforming Midewipe from Robot Mode to Bat Mode is done in 16 steps with the only annoying part being that the instruction sheet is really long when unfolded. Once transformed you will see that Bat Mode severely limits your ability to pose Mindwipe, the legs and head are locked in place leaving the only movable parts to be his wing joints. It took a bit of work but if you bend the wings slightly inward I feel that it makes Mindwipe look alot better. Additionally his weapons combine to become his tail which are on a bendable joint and can be moved slightly up or down. The head sculpt for Mindwipe's Bat Mode is actually a rubber material and not plastic but it is still detailed very well.

Titan Master - Vorath

As usual with the Titan Master figures, Vorath lacks any attempt at detail. He is tiny and if not kept in a safe place you will have a headless Mindwipe. Vorath actually does have a safe place to be kept if you leave Mindwipe in Bat Mode, the clear plastic chest of the figure opens up revealing a seat for Vorath to sit in securely.

Comparison

Mindwipe is taller than Titans Return Wheelie but seems to be on the shorter side of the Deluxe Class figures, standing shorter than Titans Returns Scourge. He is also shorter than Leader Class Power Master Optimus Prime and Combiner Wars Bruticus as expected.

Final Thoughts

The Good

Great Design
Easy To Pose (Robot Mode)
Two Weapons
Decent Color Scheme
Really Detailed Head Design (Bat Mode)
Titan Master Storage (Bat Mode)

The Bad

Limited Poses (Bat Mode)
Titan Master Lacks Detail

Based on the results the good of this figure clearly outweigh the bad, these are the reasons Titans Return Mindwipe & Vorath get 4 out of 5 PUNCHES. If you see him in the store I would say its a good purchase to make.
