Spin is the bot in the middle, but the car on the right.
  • Race Micron Exdimensions (2003)
    • ID number: MM-10
Spin was repurposed from the Exdimensions version of Spin.
A somewhat more limited-edition (but still regular retail) redeco of the Race Team was released by Takara as part of the Exdimensions Microns. This set uses primarily blue and white.

Notes

[edit]
  • Spin's existence in the Armada cartoon started as a generic Mini-Con prisoner inside the Decepticon base. The Legends of the Microns version of the show would later brighten the Mini-Con's colors and add the number 3's on either arm, making it a direct reference to the Exdimensions toy.
  • In 2015, the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime established repurposings of the Exdimensions Microns as new characters, canonizing Spin's appearance in the cartoon and making him more than just a Downshift model reuse in Exdimensions colors.
