Ripberger is a stealthy Cheat Commando who presumably fights Blue Laser. He wears a red ninja outfit that is not his pajamas, and he has black "gloves!". His name is probably taken from Magistrate Ripberger, a character from Thy Dungeonman II. His first speaking appearance in a Cheat Commandos cartoon was in Let Us Give TANKS!, in which he brings ambrosia salad to Blue Laser's Thanksgiving dinner.
His design is a direct parody of "Jinx", who first appeared in GI Joe: The Movie. She was a ninja whose costume appeared to be nothing more than red pajamas.
The name "Ripberger" may be a reference to the LucasArts point-and-click adventure "Full Throttle", wherein the villain's name was Ripburger.
Apparently, Ripberger's action figure was some sort of limited-run promotional toy. As Blue Laser puts it in Let Us Give TANKS!, he was "only available for a limited time with three proofs of purchase!"
