During the time that the real Dr. Mindbender was left to die in a freighter on Cobra Island, the clone Mindbender chose to remove his cybernetic implants and experiment on himself with some of the growth hormones from the Mega-Monsters Project. The procedure left his head scarred and his hand monstrously altered. Thus was the concept behind the design of the unproduced 1995 Battle Rangers Mindbender.

I've wanted this figure ever since first seeing the grey casted prototype up on Yo Joe and wanted it even more when the painted prototype surfaced. Even if I were to cross paths with this extremely rare piece I doubt I'd be able to come up with the several hundreds of dollars the price tag would demand. So, I customized my own by dyeing the parts black to preserve playability. I was going to use the Hydro-Viper webbed hand, but found the Predator hand to have a more menacing texture and claws. The actual figure has a pouch on its right thigh. To duplicate that I used the Chap Mei syringe pouch because I figure he still needs to keep the infection away and keep the Mega-Monster mutation from spreading.
