* HeroicSacrifice: Subverted. He attempts to use his bomb alt mode to blow up or at least scare away the DJD. With him seemingly dead, they abandon the rest of the Scavengers to hunt down Overlord, but as it turns out, Spinister had removed Fulcrum's explosive components.

* HeroicSacrifice: Subverted. He attempts to use his bomb alt mode to blow up or at least scare away the DJD. With him seemingly dead, Emphasis on "attempt" because, rather than explode, Fulcrum jumps off a ledge, transforms and smacks into the ground anticlimactically. Fortunately they abandon the rest of the Scavengers to hunt down Overlord, but as Overlord instead. As it turns out, Spinister had removed Fulcrum's explosive components.

* GoodIsNotNice: That red badge doesn't translate to him being pleasant company. Most of the time.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Remember, this guy used to be a gladiator in Kaon and sparred regularly with fellow heavyweights like Scorponok. That, and he hasn't any qualms about savagely fucking you up in self defense.



* MysteriousPast: Hints aside [[spoiler: Grimlock's brief time as a Decepticon isn't elaborated upon.]]



%%* SixthRanger: Even moreso than Fulcrum.
* TokenGoodTeammate: While Grimlock isn't exactly a nice guy, he's an Autobot for a reason and has acted selflessly in the past bot towards Cybertronians and organics. Incredibly bregrudgingly but he's still done it.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Prior incarnations of Spinister have him related somehow to fellow Double Targetmaster Needlenose, both being members of the Decepticons "Mayhem Attack Squad". Not only is this Spinister unrelated to IDW's version of the group, [[ComicBook/TheTransformersSinsOfTheWreckers "Mayhem"]], he has no known connection with [[Characters/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguiseDecepticons Needlenose]] either.
