Spin-Out (G1)
| This article is about the cannon fodder for Toxitron. For the cannon fodder for Overlord, see Spin-Out (G1). |
- Spin-Out is an Autobot from the Of Masters and Mayhem portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.
Spin-Out is a fuel preparation specialist—in other words, a cook—for the Autobot army. But even if it isn't a very high-ranking job, it still makes him an officer, and thus capable of taking command if his superiors are all incapacitated.
What are the chances of that, though?
Fiction
Of Masters and Mayhem
Spin-Out was the cook in a five hundred strong Autobot force but being the 49th highest ranking officer means you still become the commanding officer when forty eight other 'bots are dead! After a destructive, 17-cycle "holding action", the Autobots technically won but Spin-Out was left depressed by the wreckage, the amount dead, and the fact people like Outback think he should feel proud he "stepped up". And he can't even sit in case it's on a corpse!
Things couldn't get worse.
Then his remaining men took a Decepticon called Toxitron prisoner... who turned out to be a walking acid spill who had intentially been "captured". Everybody died, including Spin-Out, and the cook's rotting head was later used to let Toxitron register as having an Autobot transponder.
So that's worse. The Toxic Transformer
Notes
- "Spinout" was the working name of Generation 1 Sunstreaker; hence, Spin-Out looks like Sunstreaker's red Diaclone predecessor.
