Transformers: Generation 1
Fictional biography
An eerie aerial adventurer. As much of a mystery to his fellow Decepticons as he is to his enemies. Talks little, reveals less. Spends most of his time off on his own. Enjoys scaring unwary Autobots and then attacking them while they're off guard. Equipped with infrared attack sensors in helicopter Mode. Teamed with two Nebulans: Singe, who converts to a dual flamethrower and Hairsplitter, who turns into a twin lock-target laser rifle.
Animated series
Although the animated series ended in the US before Spinister was released, he appeared in animated form along with the Double Targetmasters in commercials for the toys.
While an animated Transformers series continued in Japan at the time, the Double Targetmasters were not released in Japan, and therefore didn't make it to television there.
Comics
Dreamwave Productions
Spinister and his partners did receive a full page biography in Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye series. The pictures of Singe and Hairsplitter were swapped.
