If it doesn't result in at least a few dings and scraped paint, '''Topspin''' isn't interested. To him, buckled and burnt armor are signs of a life well-led. He's proud of being one tough bot, and is more than happy to wear the scars to prove it.

He's one of the [[Wrecker]]s.<ref>http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2107707&id=1319780046</ref>

Topspin, Leadfoot, and Roadbuster, collectively known as [[Wrecker|the Wreckers]], by [[Charlotte Mearing]], had arrived with the second wave of Autobots aboard the Autobot ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]''. When [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] announced that the current occupation force of Autobots was to be exiled, the three prepared the ship for launch and accompanied Optimus Prime and the others aboard, sending the ship into the atmosphere- where it was then targeted and blown to smithereens by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], seemingly killing all the Autobots aboard. Undaunted by this, the Autobot's human allies nonetheless tried to launch an incursion into Decepticon-held [[Chicago]]. Fortunately for them, the Autobots were not actually aboard the ship, and had only feigned their deaths in order to test the character of their human allies. Topspin and the other Wreckers swung into action immediately, executing a downed Decepticon pilot and running distraction against the Decepticons in their armored racecar forms, to great success. They later attempted to rescue [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] from the crane cables in which he had been snared. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)}}
