Topspin is one of the supporting characters from Transformers: Dark of the Moon and a minor protagonist of Transformers: The Last Knight. He is one of the Autobot Wrecker trio. All three Wreckers transform into NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chevrolet Impala stock cars; Topspin's alternate mode uses the #48 Lowe's/Kobalt Chevrolet Impala of Hendrick Motorsports (driven by Jimmie Johnson).

Topspin likes hard jobs that leave him dented. He is very tough but has below-average intelligence. Unlike his partners in his group, Topspin has no speaking dialogue lines in Dark of the Moon, though he does have some in The Last Knight. His weapons are two mechanical claws and two guns on his shoulders.

History[]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)[]

Topspin, Leadfoot and Roadbuster are a team of Autobot engineers called the Wreckers, who came to Earth in their ship the Xantium which carried other Autobots, including Sideswipe. NASA took possession of their ship and Director Mearing mentioned they were rarely let off base due to their behavior. When Sentinel expelled the Autobots, the Wreckers prepared the Xantium for launch, but Starscream destroyed their ship as it was leaving. In the battle in Chicago, Topspin and the other Wreckers killed the pilot of a Decepticon fighter and revealed to Sam that they had hidden in a booster rocket that detached before Starscream attacked. When Shockwave attacked their convoy and Optimus lost his trailer, they created a diversion so that Optimus could retrieve it. Later they helped Optimus untangle himself and were among the surviving Autobots at the end of the film.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)[]

After the battle for Chicago, Harold Attinger's CIA taskforce "Cemetery Wind" was tasked with hunting down the surviving Decepticons on Earth, but also hunted down the Autobots as well. Topspin received a message from Optimus Prime, instructing all Autobots to flee for their lives.

Five years after the Battle of Chicago, Topspin was not listed as "deceased" by Cemetery Wind, indicating that he survived the organization's Autobot hunt and is currently in hiding.[1]

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)[]

Years later, Topspin, who now grew a beard similar to Leadfoot under nickname "Volleybot", was among several Autobots survivor that were given asylum in Cuba, where he constantly pestered Seymour Simmons to play volleyball with him. At one point, he had been pestering Simmons during an important phone call with someone, which annoyed Simmons to say the least. Still, once the call was over, Simmons went to the beach with him. Topspin wasn't seen again, but it's presumed returning back to Cybertron along other surviving Autobots whom hiding in Cuba, following Quintessa and Megatron defeated in the final battle.

Trivia[]

  • Topspin has a face that bear resembles that of Leadfoot in the fifth movie, likely as a tribute to his late leader whom killed by Cementary Wind and Lockdown in the fourth movie events.
  • While, Topspin never speaks in the third movie. He was later given dialogue speaking in the fifth movie.
  • With Topspin reveal survive against both Cementary Wind and TRF during The Last Knight events, he no longer listed as deceased characters.
    • Thus it's safe assumed that Sideswipe, Dino/Mirage, Roadbuster, the Twins, along with other surviving Autobots were presumed hiding in Cuba after final battle of Chicago. They're eventually returning back to Cybertron, following Quintessa and Megatron defeated after The Last Knight events.
