Spiral
- Spiral is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
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-- out someone in their place. She's garnered a bit of a reputation for having a short temper, and she's got the muscle to back it up.

Armada
Spiral and the rest of the Street Speed Team were among the Mini-Cons who lived on Earth's Moon, until Dualor brought the Earth-based Mini-Cons there, whoch also brought the Decepticons. Spiral and the others escaped in a rocket-pod that crashed in north Alaska, leaving them deactivated. Ultimately the Autobots were successful in retrieving the pod.
Spiral returned to Cybertron and helped Over-Run activate the Mini-Con Matrix, which dealt a critical blow to Unicron.
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
- Street Speed Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2003)
- Japanese ID number: MM-06
- Spiral transforms into a Mercedes C-Class luxury car, available only in a three-pack with Backtrack and Oval. Like her fellow Street Speed Team 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 Armada Skid-Z. It was planned to be used for Energon Clocker and packed with Ultra Magnus, but that release was changed late in the production run and given a different Mini-Con Team.
- Seig 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.
Cybertron
- Street Speed Mini-Con Team (Basic-class, 2005)
- A retooling of the first Spiral mold, she now transforms into a highly-modified Mercedes. She was only available in a three-pack with her teammates.
- This version of the mold was used to make Cybertron Jack.
Unreleased
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.
Trivia
- For whatever reason, the Street Speed Team is the only Armada Mini-Con Team to not have an 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.
- Though the Cybertron version of the Street Speed Team did not come with a Cyber Planet Key, there is Key Code content on Hasbro's Cybertron web-site. Their Code is "s".
