Fiction

[edit]

In Aurex 1104.30-DB Zeta (a highly Primax-influenced universe), Railspike was born from Dr. Brian Jones's attempts at reverse-engineering Maximus combiner technology and applying it to Mini-Con anatomy. Superion, Defensor, and Rail Racer fought Devastator in the Combiner Wars during the Unicron Singularity crisis. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/31

Universe (2003)

[edit]
  • Railspike (Micromaster Railbot, 2005)
  • Series: III
  • Number: 1 of 6
  • Accessories: Rail Racer torso
Universe Railspike is physically identical to the 2003 Takara reissue version of Desire, transforming into a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}300 Series Shinkansen|{{#if:||300 Series Shinkansen}}]]. He has a flip-down "socket" arm on his train-mode back-end that lets him link up with any of his teammates with a "peg" link-arm. He can form the chest to any Micromaster "Sixteam" combined robot (though he requires the train-mold-team torso), but his nominal placement is as the chest of Rail Racer.
This mold was also used to make Spark.
Like all of the Railbots, he was originally a KB Toys store exclusive, but later made his way to other outlets, most notably drugstores like CVS.

Railspike and the rest of the Universe Micromasters were released in the "main" line in Europe under the Cybertron line. Presumably this is because the Universe line was never released in the European market. Why the Micromasters were the only part of the Universe line to get a European release in unknown, but it probably had something to do with their sub-Basic class size and previously being Japanese-exclusive molds.
