    Motto: "Respect your foes' abilities as you would your own."

Profile

    Spinister isn't much for subtlety. He tries to come across as dark and mysterious, but he fails at this act the moment he sets foot on a battlefield, charging in with guns ablaze while screaming at his vocal processor's maximum capacity. Some Decepticons—namely Crankcase and Misfire—chalk it up to him being dumb, but Spinister's actually smarter than any of them realize. He simply isn't one to brag about it and actually prefers to obfuscate his stupidity to keep allies and enemies alike guessing of his true nature... even though that really is how he's like.

    Crankcase hates everyone and everyone hates Crankcase. There is nothing this Triggercon won't complain about as everything is imperfect in his eyes and nothing can make him feel better about it. Except maybe shoot at Autobots.
