Spinister (G1)

The name or term "Spinister" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Spinister (disambiguation).

Spinister is a Decepticon Targetmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

I'm terribly mysterious and I have 300 pounds of canned meat strapped to my right arm.

Spinister is mysterious... terribly mysterious. A closed book to the Decepticons, Spinister is a dark menace to his Autobot enemies. Often, the first warning of his approach is the gentle note of a detonating fusion bomb or the delightful hiss of metal boiling away under an assault of charged particles from his beam cannon. How he is so terribly sneaky is unclear, but rumor has it that he has developed a cloaking device that he has kept a secret from his fellow 'Cons. Quiet and mysterious, that's how he likes to be, and that's how he intends to stay. One must wonder how much even his binary-bonded Targetmaster companions Singe and Hairsplitter know about him.

This grim air warrior seems far more independent of mind than the common Decepticon, though he doesn't go in for the outright mutiny for which Starscream is noted. When he spots unrecognized potential in the Decepticon ranks, however, he may well bring the would-be warrior under his tutelage without the knowledge or permission of his superior officers. Actually speaking his mind would prevent the whole mysterious, shadow-warrior thing from working, after all.

Then again, the guy might just be a paranoid dumbass who'd shoot a torch just because it "looked at him funny." He's actually a bit of a savant when it comes to re-wiring things, though.

Also, his name is cooler than Slayride and Sinnertwin combined.

Dammit, why does someone always have to ruin a perfectly good group shot with a wussy thought bubble??

Spinister was recruited into the new Mayhem Attack Squad by Snarler, and placed in charge of training and grading other new recruits to the squad. During a training exercise, a fresh-new warrior named Needlenose went AWOL in the middle of a battle. Spinister went after him, knowing the desertion was punishable by death in the Decepticon Army. He saw promise in the young soldier, though, and so instead faked having difficulty against an Autobot drone he was fighting. Spinister hoped that seeing him in danger would force Needlenose to act, and he was right. Needlenose came back and fought off the drone to "save" Spinister. Because of this, Spinister ignored his temporary loss of courage in the official report, and nominated Needlenose for full membership in the Mayhems, and their mission to hunt down the traitors Carnivac and Catilla. The Hunting Party

Arriving on Earth, the Mayhems confronted Carnivac separately from his new Autobot comrades in the Survivors, and ran him to ground. Way of the Warrior Carnivac managed to escape them when the National Guard arrived to interfere. The head of the human military unit ordered his soldiers to "blow away" the Decepticons, an order that Spinister told him would be his last. The humans were slaughtered in short order, and Spinister's group managed to track down Carnivac again with little fuss.Survival Run Seeing Carnivac's newfound care for fleshlings, Spinister opened fire into a crowd, committing Carnivac to taking the fire himself in order to protect the humans. Stunned by the gunfire, Carnivac lay wounded as Spinister transformed and was about to pass sentence on him. His fellow traitor Catilla leapt out from nowhere, however, spoiling Spinister's aim. Bludgeon managed to impale the new arrival with his sword, but the Mayhems were then driven off by the Survivors before they could finish Carnivac off as well. A Savage Place!

Spinister joined Needlenose, Ruckus, and Windsweeper in serving their commander, Thunderwing. They investigated why Autobots were patrolling a sector of space, taking a group of Autobots as prisoner on the planet Pz-Zazz. Bird of Prey! The hostages revealed the search for the Creation Matrix, inflaming Thunderwing's obsession to obtain the artifact. The Mayhem Attack Squad were soon taken to Cheyne, where Spinister and Ruckus took down Dogfight for Thunderwing. As the Autobot proved to be of little use, the Decepticons left. Kings of the Wild Frontier. They next went to Pequod, and Thunderwing sent Spinister, who was beginning to have doubts about the sanity of his leader, and Needlenose to deal with the Autobot Pretenders at the planet while their leader mentally connected with the Klud to discern the Matrix's location. Once he did, he recalled his troops and left. Deadly Obsession The Matrix was located on the moon VsQs, where Thunderwing led his forces in battle against the Autobots. He abandoned Windsweeper to his fate when the Matrixspawn creature attacked, being more focused on his prize than a fellow Decepticon. When their leader ran off chasing the creature, Spinister held back his fellow Mayhems, telling them it was their duty to look after the injured Windsweeper, and let Thunderwing deal with his own business. Dark Creation

Few people get along with their bosses.

After Thunderwing captured the Matrix and arranged for his team to infiltrate the Ark aboard a stolen shuttle, he quickly found the Matrix's own corrupted persona waxing control over his own mind. Spinister tried to warn him of the madness taking over, only to have Thunderwing fire on his own troop. The shock of having shot one of his loyal soldiers drove home the point for Thunderwing, but it was too late, and the Matrix completely overtook his thoughts. After the Autobots managed to drive Thunderwing out of the ship and into the vacuum of space, Spinister and the Mayhems gave up without a fight, wanting no more violence that day. All Fall Down

Trigger-Happy!

Spinister, Needlenose, and Windsweeper accompanied Crankcase and Ruckus in delivering battle plans to Megatron, the former three acting as the group's rear guard. The Autobots learned of the delivery and planned to ambush them, but their mission was botched by Backstreet, who gave away his faction's presence prematurely. Spinister and the other Decepticons were provoked into starting a firefight that endangered the inhabitants of nearby Rivers' Town. Panicked over his mistake, Backstreet wound up going on the run from his fellow Autobots. Learning of the situation, Megatron had his troops track down the fugitive in the hopes of recruiting him to their faction. Spinister found the runaway squatting in an abandoned amusement park, and reported so to his leader. But though Megatron ordered him not to engage Backstreet, Spinister found the temptation of roughing up the isolated Autobot too strong to resist. He and Scoop, the first Decepticon to converge on his position, attacked Backstreet together. On his arrival, Megatron was enraged by his soldiers' "show of initiative," and violently saw them off before they could do any lasting damage. Ultimately, Megatron's plan failed, and Backstreet returned to the Autobots. Trigger-Happy!

Entered the No-Spinister Zone.

While Carnivac was still seeking revenge for Catilla's murder, Spinister and the others set up an island base on Earth while preparing for their next strike. The cowardly Needlenose got on everyone's nerves, though, when the waiting weighed on his circuits enough to compel him to stage a mock emergency drill and test the Mayhems' response time, just in case Carnivac came looking for him. Spinister gave Needlenose a stern rebuke after that, warning him that the next incident would cost him his life. As it turned out, Carnivac HAD infiltrated the base during the commotion, and Needlenose's next round of genuine emergency calls were left unheeded. Cry Wolf! The wolf's next strike on Bludgeon did not go as quietly, and he drew the attention of the rest of the base. Instead of risking himself in close-quarters combat, Carnivac's forte, Spinister wisely chose to blast the traitor from a distance, apparently destroying him. Wolf in the Fold! The Mayhems were then forced to defend themselves against the combined might of the Survivors and Earthforce, who had come to rescue Carnivac from his insane mission of vengeance. While Bludgeon and the others charged head first into battle, Spinister saw no gain in a warrior's suicide, and attempted to slip away. Unfortunately for him, only Carnivac's shell had been destroyed earlier, and the robot within had survived to take his vengeance on the Mayhems, shooting Spinister, crushing Snarler and then assisting the Earthforce in capturing the remaining Decepticons. Where Wolf?

Spinister was present when Megatron made peaceful gestures to Humanity in New York City and the Decepticons gave a "statue" of Snaptrap as a gift to the city. Unsurprisingly, once humanity was off-guard the Decepticons struck, and the Autobots barely stopped them. The Troy Principle Those events were recorded on a videotape that was later found and watched by Autobots on Cybertron after a nuclear disaster in Kalis. In Memory of Earth

Spinister and a group of Decepticons broke into a nuclear arms cache in order to acquire the armaments within. During the siege, the inhabitants were able to send a distress signal to the Autobots, alerting them to their presence. They sent a large squad of assorted of Autobots to station, forcing the Decepticons into a retreat. Fortunately for them, they were able to make off with three nuclear missiles in the chaos.Save Nevada Alpha

I'm very important in this story!

Spinister fell in with Gigatron's Decepticon forces on Earth. This was a very fortunate decision, as evil Autobots from another dimension invaded, and as a result everything not on Earth in Spinister's universe ceased to exist. Invasion

Spinister survived the destruction of his universe and was last seen in the negative polarity universe with a small band of evil Decepticon survivors, back under Megatron's command. The Future Buried...

I AM SPINISTER! BEWARE, I LIVE!

Spinister was present when Soundwave was recruiting for the "Neo-Decepticon" insurgency at Fort Scyk. He later participated in the attack on the Kalis Baird Beaming Transmitter that led to the destruction of the Last Autobot. Counterpoint

Soundwave was off-planet when the resurrected Scorponok returned to Cybertron with a Gene Key capable of turning Autobots into Decepticons. The former Headmaster arrived at Fort Scyk and commanded the assembled troops to follow him, executing Misfire as an example of the price of questioning his orders. Spinister filed out with the rest, but not before he had got a message out to Soundwave. Natural Selection, Part Three He was next seen with Needlenose alongside Scorponok at the Sonic Canyons, preparing to make his Gene Key's effects permanent, when Grimlock and the Dinobots attacked. When Grimlock's mole Perceptor neutralised the Gene Key's effects on the Autobots, turning the odds against Scorponok, Spinister and Needlenose chose the better part of valour, transformed to their aerial modes and fled. Natural Selection, Part Five

Later, Spinister and Needlenose convinced a few agitated Cybertronians to lob a grenade at Hot Rod as he was giving a speech at the Eugenesis Plaza. Destiny, Part One Spinister then monitored as Fang instigated a riot between more agitated Cybertronians and the Wreckers on Auto-artery RG1 (North) as part of Soundwave's plan to sow disquiet and blind Cybertron to Bludgeon's impending attack.

In one of many alternate realities, Spinister was one of the few survivors of Unicron's attack on that universe's Cybertron, and had become little more than a gibbering half-insane emotional wreck as a result. When Optimus Prime was accidentally transported into this reality, Spinister told him about Unicron and what he did.

How exactly am I flying?

Spinister was constructed cold. Arm the Lonely Back before the war, Spinister appeared in the crowd cheering Megatron's first pit fight. Megatron Origin #2 It is unknown whether he joined the Decepticons at their inception or became part of the movement later on after the conquest of Kaon. Much later, Spinister was working under Razorclaw on Cybertron, shortly after the Battle of Thunderhead Pass. He was part of the last major push for territory on the planet before it became uninhabitable. Spotlight: Blaster Centuries later, Spinister still served with the Predacon leader as part of the crew aboard the starship Thanatos. He followed Divebomb and the other flying Decepticons into battle with Thunderwing on Cybertron. Stormbringer #4

At some point, Spinister joined up with a squad of loose Decepticons led by Krok and annoyed them with his paranoid, triggerhappy nature Rules of Disengagement though an erroneous reporter placed Spinister among the Decepticons imprisoned on Cybertron after the war with D-Void. The Autonomy Lesson

One... two... hang on, guys, I've got this one... thuh-ree...

Not long after they all received a call from Cybertron to return, the Scavengers were on Clemency, scavenging. During this time, they ran into a supposedly dead K-Class Decepticon called Fulcrum and Spinister removed his explosive charge in fear of the Decepticon blowing himself up while they were scavenging him. Who's Afraid of the DJD? Misfire described him to Fulcrum, after the bot revealed himself to be actually alive, as the dumbest being in the universe. Later, he wanted to shoot a fire for giving him weird looks (in fairness they were using a still-living Autobot as a fireplace) and then shot a torch because it was glowing at him, much to Fulcrum's dismay. They were later contacted by the Decepticon Justice Division, who were looking to torture and kill one of them for crimes against the Decepticons. Confused since there were only six of them and the Division mentioned seven bots present, they looked around and discovered a stasis-locked Grimlock. Rules of Disengagement

The Scavengers decided to stay and fight the D.J.D. by unleashing Grimlock from his pod when the D.J.D. got close. As the D.J.D. were arriving, they revealed their real target had been Fulcrum but it was already too late. Krok released Grimlock and the fight began. During the battle, Spinister assisted Crankcase in fighting Helex. After a while, Fulcrum attempted to blow all of the D.J.D. members up with his bomb mode by jumping off the Worldsweeper. As Spinister (probably) expected, the Decepticon harmlessly crashed into the ground and made a soft explosion. The D.J.D. left in any case for another target and the leader, Tarn, announced the Scavengers and Grimlock were all now on The List. Spinister and the others recovered Fulcrum and a damaged Krok. Fulcrum then revealed to them that the D.J.D. had been after him for a crime he had committed during the war for fleeing from a fight. They set off afterwards for Cybertron with a plan to use Grimlock, who was revealed to be almost brain-dead, as a bargaining chip if they ever arrived on the planet. Before they left, they scavenged parts from Flywheels, who had been killed during the fight. Who's Afraid of the DJD?

When Misfire managed to get himself incarcerated in the Galactic Council's death row on the planet Constancy, the rest of the Scavengers hatched a plan to rescue him, but Spinister, Krok and Crankcase were incapacitated by Tyrest's universal killswitch at a crucial moment. Arm the Lonely After Rodimus and Perceptor used half the Matrix to neutralise the killswitch, Spinister was seen to recover. This Calamitous Life

YOU! ARE! A! TOY!

Spinister and the Scavengers would have many more misadventures including—amongst other things—conjugating verbs, using holomatter avatars to blend in with the natives on Magisteria VI and somehow getting turned into toys. To let off steam, they amused themselves by vandalising Autopedia and playing "Shoot Shoot Bang Bang". It was shortly after one such game that Spinister alerted the others that the giant TV was talking again and it said its name was Demus, an associate of Krok's through a Triple-M subgroup on The Big Conversation, who offered them the opportunity to make some easy Shanix at his scrapyard on Tebris VII. After arriving on the planet and meeting with him, Spinister was mode locked in robot mode, as Demus had a heightened phobia of transformation.

Demus revealed that he wanted to offer the Scavengers half a billion Shanix each in exchange for Grimlock. When Misfire objected, it was put to the vote in a rare display of Decepticon democracy and Spinister elected to sell him along with Krok and Crankcase, carrying it by three votes to two. However, they wouldn't get the chance to make the deal as Demus was then summarily executed by the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord, Fortress Maximus. Some Of My Best Friends Are Autobots

Max put them all under arrest for trafficking with a known offender but the Scavengers were able to distract him and hide in Demus's warehouse full of "Roboid" toys. After learning the true scope of Demus's crimes and that the Roboids were actually lobotomised Transformers, stuck in beast mode, to be sold to the organics of the galaxy as "torture dolls", they were able to throw him off their trail by alerting him to the presence of Grimlock on the Weak Anthropic Principle, but then found that they couldn't leave their comrade behind and rode to his rescue on six unboxed Equinoids. During the subsequent confrontation with Fortress Maximus, Spinister successfully mastered using a triple negative in a sentence, leading the other Scavengers to all pitch in, using their own unique talents to outwit the Duly Appointed Enforcer and escape with Grimlock by convincing him that the Roboids' lives were in danger—in reality, Spinister had discovered a way to reverse their "domestication" and left behind a note explaining how to do it. From then on, the Scavengers vowed to adopt Krok's new plan: to find and help all the other Decepticons out there who had been damaged by the war... after one more game of "Shoot Shoot Bang Bang". Animals

Some time later aboard the Weak Anthropic Principle, the Scavengers watched a video that was being broadcast to the galaxy at large of Lost Light crewmembers apparently counting down the time to their deaths, which even they found a bit dark. How Bright Their Frail Deeds

The Scavengers later visited Earth so that Crankcase could meet his online friend "CONS4EVA." Misfire and Spinister found themselves chasing Grimlock across New Mexico. Disguising themselves as M.A.S.K. agents, the two undercover Decepticons pursued their quarry to Amarillo, Texas, where they joined forces with G.I. Joe desk jockey MP3. The trio followed Grimlock to Arlington before MP3's "Action Van" broke down; when Misfire and Spinister revealed the faces of their holomatter avatars, Misfire's poorly-constructed holomatter face caused MP3 to pass out. Believing that they'd killed him, they buried MP3 and continued their chase. But after watching an EMT resuscitate an injured woman, they realized that they hadn't killed MP3, so Spinister hurried back to dig up their human friend while Misfire followed Grimlock. An apologetic Spinister brought MP3 back to their ship, where they discovered that Crankcase's Decepticon friend was really a religiously-inclined Dire Wraith in disguise. Having gathered three different species, the Wraith enacted the mystical ritual known as the "Crossover," which opened a tiny interdimensional portal. MP3, hoping to go on more space adventures with the Scavengers, tendered his resignation through the portal... only to discover that the Scavengers had left without him. Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again!

Spinister, Galvatron and Scorponok were sent by Megatron to rob the Autobot City Bank. In heavy disguise, they went in and got the drop on the bank tellers, only for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Wheeljack to turn up. Spinister whistled for Devastator, who ripped the roof off the bank and disposed of the three Autobots. Once they'd broken open the safe, Spinister flew the energon back to Megatron. Quest for Energon, Part 1

He operated the completed weapon and successfully used it to make a giant grilled cheese sandwich for Megatron. When Wheeljack and Cliffjumper invaded the work site, Spinister and the other Kreons surrounded the pair. Unfortunately the interlopers were a diversion, and the Decepticons were splattered by exploded grilled cheese sandwich then tied up in a net by the other Autobots. Quest for Energon, Part 2

Of Masters and Mayhem

Spinister and the rest of the Mayhem Attack Squad were drawn to a cavern on Earth by a Decepticon signal, finding upon their arrival that the extra-dimensional Ramjet was the one broadcasting it. Bludgeon spoke with their new acquaintance, who momentarily showed that he had power that rivaled the Squad's. Spinister was left staring in awe as Ramjet sent eldritch energies flowing into Ruckus and effortlessly tossed him aside. The Squad agreed to join forces with Ramjet, and together they began to plot the destruction of the universe. History

Commercial appearances

Spinister used his Targetmasters Hairsplitter and Singe to chase down a group of Autobot-allied Nebulans. The Nebulans' Autobot allies then showed up, and used their own partners' gun modes to retaliate! Spinister and Needlenose transformed to robot mode to continue the fight on foot.

• Spinister (Targetmaster, 1988)
  • Accessories: Hairsplitter and Singe Targetmaster partners/guns

Spinister transforms into a rather busily-coloured AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. His Targetmaster partners Singe and Hairsplitter can be attached onto peg holes on the underside of his wings. The rotors spin, but the main rotor tends to fold back into its storage mode when turned. Ironically, despite being a Double Targetmaster, he has no arm articulation whatsoever, meaning he can't actually aim his Targetmasters.

Spinister, like all the Double Targetmasters, was never released in Japan.
