:''Spiral is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Spiral-anime.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go 'round.]]
'''Spiral''' leads the [[Street Speed Mini-Con Team]], which isn't an easy task considering her teammates' personalities. But she's a tough one, the fastest, smartest, and strongest of the Team, who won't hesitate to verbally—or physically—put someone in their place. She's garnered a bit of a reputation for having a short temper, but she's got the muscle to back up her aggression.

==Fiction==
===''Armada'' cartoon===
[[Image:Fred Spiral01.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Fat bottomed boys, you make the cars slump to the ground.]]
Spiral's [[Mini-Con storage panel]] was detected underground, near a major highway under construction. Both [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]] braved battle and heavy traffic to retrieve the panel. The Decepticons, thanks to the digging strength of [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] (who was in reality an Autobot agent undercover) came close to obtaining it, but the arrival of the mysterious [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] tipped the battle in favor of the Autobots, and with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot's]] newfound skill with the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]], the Decepticons were forced to retreat and Spiral was saved.

Back at the Autobot base, while [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] was getting dirt-bike rides on Sideways, Spiral offered to give a ride to [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]], who was moping about missing all the fun. Fred accepted, but quickly regretted his decision and commenced with the whining. {{storylink|Gale}}

Later, after the Decepticons got ahold of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]], Spiral was seen among the Mini-Cons recently captured by them. How they acquired possession of her from the Autobots is unknown. {{storylink|Conspiracy}} Spiral, [[Backtrack (Armada)|Backtrack]] and an unknown Mini-Con were assigned to <s>repair</s> "tune up" [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] following a close encounter with the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|Runaway}}

On the moon, Spiral and the other Mini-Cons were put to work by Megatron constructing a new space cruiser. When the Autobots lay siege to the Decepticon base, [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] sought out the Mini-Cons and tried to get them to accompany him to freedom. Their servility programming was too strong to overcome at first. After Spiral and the others saw Perceptor valiantly risking his life against Megatron, however, the Mini-Cons shrugged off the chains of their oppression, and fled to the warp gate chamber where the Autobots transported them to safety on Earth. {{storylink|Rescue}}

As the Autobots prepared their new spaceship to chase the Decepticons back to Cybertron, Spiral and the united Mini-Cons were seen helping with the construction work. {{storylink|Remorse}} Spiral and the Mini-Cons all chose to willingly follow the Autobots into space aboard the ''[[Axalon (Armada)|Axalon]]'', fighting alongside them against the Decepticons. {{storylink|Depart}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic===
Spiral and the rest of the Street Speed Team were among the Mini-Cons who lived on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|moon]] following their escape from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} Unfortunately, [[Dualor (Armada)|Dualor]] brought the Earth-based Mini-Cons there, which also brought the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. While the [[Mini-Con Moonbase|moonbase]] was under attack, Spiral and the others escaped in a rocket-pod. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 11|Armada #11}} The pod crashed in northern [[Alaska]], leaving the Street Speed Team, [[Inferno (Armada)|Inferno]] and [[Comettor (Armada)|Comettor]] deactivated. {{storylink|Fire & Ice}} Ultimately the Autobots were successful in retrieving the pod, and Spiral was reactivated and brought to the Autobot base. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}}

Spiral later returned to Cybertron and helped [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] activate the [[Mini-Con Matrix]], which dealt a critical blow to [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|The End}}

===Panini ''Armada'' comic===
In the early stages of the war, Spiral was among the Mini-Cons who supported [[Dualor (Armada)|Dualor]]'s plan to kill [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] by luring him to the [[Autobot]] headquarters and blowing it up. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}}

===''Cybertron'' toy bios===
The Street Speed Team were sent to [[Velocitron]] as advance scouts for the Autobots. The planet's mass of winding high-speed tracks really appealed to them, to the point where they started having a hard time tearing themselves from the road to get their missions underway.

==Toys==
===Armada===
[[Image:Arm-toy Spiral.jpg|right|thumb|300px|More blue than water]]
*'''Street Speed Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MM-06'''

: Spiral transforms into a Mercedes E-Class luxury car, available only in a three-pack with [[Backtrack (Armada)|Backtrack]] and [[Oval]]. Like her fellow Street Speed Mini-Con Team members, her car mode wheels are designed to allow for much faster rolling on smooth surfaces.

: This mold was also used to make [[Servo]], and ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Skid-Z (Armada)|Skid-Z]]. It was planned to be used for ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Clocker (Energon)|Clocker]] and packed with [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]], but that release was changed late in the production run and given a different Mini-Con Team.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2002/Mini-Con/Spiral/spiral.htm More information on Spiral at TFU.info]''

{{-}}{{anchor|Silverbolt}}
*'''Silverbolt & Street Speed Micron'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MS-05'''

: In Japan, the Street Speed Team was available both on a card and in a multi-pack with Silverbolt, the Japanese version of Super-Con [[Blurr (Armada)#toys|Blurr]], and his partner Turbo ([[Incinerator (Armada)#toys|Incinerator]]). All the toys in the set are identical to their individual releases.

{{-}}{{anchor|Overdrive}}
[[Image:Arm-toy SpiralOverdrive.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Silver Sucka!]]
*'''Sieg Overdrive Edition''' (Mini-Con, 2003)

: Individual members of the "Overdrive Edition" [[redeco]] of the Team were given away at the 17-day Japanese "World Hobby Fair" in January/February. In April, they were also available as random giveaways at Ito Yokaido stores with the purchase of any ''Micron Legend'' product.

[[Image:SST-UniBat.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]
*'''Street Speed Mini-Con Team''' (Unreleased Basic, 2003)

: A red-and-white redeco of Spiral was planned to be released as part of a “refresh” version of the Street Speed Team in ''Armada''. The coloration of the Team was a “one-off” of the Takara Overdrive Edition version, with each toy’s main color shifted over to another one.

: While some pre-release carded samples have made it out, this version never hit retail.

===Cybertron===
[[Image:Cyb-toy Spiral.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Apple]]
*'''Street Speed Mini-Con Team''' (Basic-class, 2005)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''GC-08'''

: A [[retool]]ing of the first Spiral mold, she now transforms into a Mercedes C-Class. She was only available in a three-pack with her teammates.

: This version of the mold was used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Jack (Cybertron)|Jack]].

==Notes==
* For whatever reason, the Street Speed Team is the only ''Armada'' Mini-Con Team to not have an [[X-Dimension Micron|X-Dimension]] release.
* The Japanese ''Galaxy Force'' version of the Street Speed Team is one of the very few mass-retail "new"-mold Japanese Transformers toys to not show up in the accompanying cartoon.
*Spiral was referred to as male by [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|''Armada'' cartoon episode]] "[[Gale]]". It seems [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] overlooked that scene when it gave her a [[More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|bio]] that specified her as female. In-[[continuity family]], it could be argued Carlos might not be able to tell Transformer gender apart.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Sieg''' (ジーク ''Jīku''),<ref>"Sieg" is a brand of tires used by Mercedes-Benz, which produced the car that Spiral is based on. See [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/1f9c59d048679ab2/7fd6659c76215153?lnk=st&q=spiral+sieg+doug+dlin+group%3Aalt.toys.transformers&rnum=2&hl=en#7fd6659c76215153 alt.toys.transformers] for more.</ref> '''Gagenda''' (''Galaxy Force'', ガゼンダ ''Gazenda'')

'''As the Cybertronians search for the secrets of their past, an ancient threat rises...'''

==Synopsis==
Commander Starscream returns to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after a patrol of the [[Eshems Nebula]] and is met by First Officer Ratchet. Starscream is sporting a wound from an encounter with a scout ship, the fourth one he's spotted so far. As Ratchet works on him, they chat about the [[Science Division|science sector]]'s latest archeological dig. With repairs complete, Starscream meets up with his captain, Ironhide, and the two go to meet "the boss". Meanwhile, Optimus is filling in Megatron on the dig's progress and recent unusual energy pulses being emitted by the [[AllSpark]]. Starscream and Ironhide interrupt, however, and Megatron has them report on the defense record of the past solar cycle.

In the Eshems Nebula, an alien fleet awaits, attracted by a mysterious signal. The aliens decide that they should launch an attack and try to claim the energy source.

In [[Simfur]], Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are standing guard over the AllSpark. Bumblebee complains that Optimus is running off on a dig when he should be investigating the AllSpark energy spikes. Cliffjumper tells him to calm down and points out Bumblebee is just complaining because he'd rather be out fighting someone. Cliffjumper tells him the two of them are able for anything and are already [[Defense Force]] material, but that they'd be just as bored with the Defense Force, going on nothing but patrols.

Above Cybertron, the aliens ready for their attack.

At the dig site, Arcee's team finds something, and she rushes off to tell Optimus. Observing with Ratchet and Jazz, Optimus is considering whether or not the artifacts they keep finding might actually predate their race. His thoughts are interrupted as Megatron arrives and asks Optimus what he thinks the site contains. Optimus isn't ready to give any definite answers, and the pair quickly start arguing over procedure, culminating in Megatron telling Optimus that when he ''chooses'' to lead, he can make the decisions, not before. They're interrupted by Arcee, who tells them of her team's discovery, an intact artifact bearing an unknown marking. Following her to the site, they find a large, triangular slab bearing a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]]. Megatron wants the artifact removed at once, but Optimus says that they need time. Before the argument can kick off again, an explosion goes off in the nearby city of [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]]. Starscream calls in, confirming it to be an attack by the same species he encountered before. Megatron prepares for battle, but Optimus wants to have his division follow the same procedures as before: They will guard the site and the [[Simfur Temple]], while the Defense Force fights directly. Megatron accepts this, but orders the artifact transported to his quarters in [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]].

In the Simfur Temple, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are pinned down and desperate for help. It arrives in the form of Megatron coming through the city. He is disgusted that they haven't taken the fight to the enemy, but takes a serious wound while berating them. He quickly destroys his attacker, and as Starscream arrives, orders him to continue the battle and to keep Optimus' team out of their way.

Megatron returns to Trypticon, drawn to the artifact, feeling as if it calls out to him. He begins to scrape the dirt away from it, but his injury overwhelms him and he collapses. As he lies there, the artifact moves ever so slightly closer...

[[Image:Charlieadler.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Most guarded secret: Is indeed related to Babs Bunny.]]
'''Charlie Adler''' (born [[February 27]], [[1957]]), sometimes '''Charles''', is an American voice actor. Outside of ''Transformers'', he is known for voicing Buster Bunny on ''Tiny Toon Adventures'', Low Light on ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'', [[Cobra Commander]], [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]], [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]] and [[Gung-Ho]] on ''G.I. Joe: Resolute'', Cobra Commander again on ''G.I. Joe: Renegades'', T-Bone on ''SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron'' and practically the entire cast of ''Cow and Chicken'' (thus making him the King — and Queen — of Cheese).

{{note|Adler's portrayals of Starscream in the film versus the video game versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' are vastly different. While in the film Starscream's voice is neurotic and whiny, the video game voice is dark and sinister, magnified greatly by some ''crazy'' heavy electronic amplification that pushes Adler's voice to the point of being virtually unrecognizable. To draw a more direct comparison, his voice in the game sounds more like the movie version of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] than [[Frank Welker]] does! Strangely enough, they seem to have kept his "normal" Starscream voice for phrases spoken by the G1 incarnation of the character during multiplayer.}}
