Twirl



Twirl is a Mini-Con in the Unicron Trilogy continuity.

Twirl is the youngest and least serious member of the Sonic Assault Team. To many, she is a flighty, featherbrained ditz who is more interested in dancing and interior design than anything else. They are so right.

Despite this, she is a valued member of the Team, even though Falcia constantly cuts her down verbally. Twirl takes it all in stride, as she knows deep down Falcia cares about her. She's also formed a bond with the Autobot Ravenus. Her weapon mode is incredibly powerful, and she wants peace above all else.

Falcia is not Twirl's mother, no matter what Twirl thinks. Both Falcia and Redline flatly and vehemently deny any claim of parentage. Falcia gets rather violent at the suggestion.

Micron Legends: Linkage
Twirl's Mini-Con storage panel was one of several held within Redline's internal compartment for safekeeping when the Exodus went down. When Falcia reactivated on Earth and found Servo, she followed him to the Super Stunt Team's new base and forcibly removed Twirl's panel from Redline. When she left to rejoin her teammate Combusta, she was attacked by the Speed Chaser Team in Magnawing mode, and Twirl's panel was damaged.

Twirl would have died there, but the Mini-Cons developed a plan to save her. They quickly put together a machine that would take energy from the spark frames of Redline and Falcia to craete a new body for Twirl, while the two sent their conciousnesses into the Linkage to retrieve Twirl's mind befor eit could diffuse and be lost forever. The plans was a success and Twirl returned to full functionality.

Twirl and the other Mini-Cons set up machinery on one of the Hawaiian islands so Redline and Falcia could retrieve the Master Key and upgrade all Mini-Cons, freeing them from their servility programs and power-locks. The Speed Chaser team and Aqua Raider Team attacked to stop them, bringing with them the mutated Bulk Ravenus. Twirl was incapable of resisting Ravenus' enhanced Powerlinx command, and linked with the monster against her will. During the link, she discovered Ravenus' true nature as an Autobot and begged the other Mini-Cons to spare his life after she was released from him by Kingbolt.

After undergoing the Master Key upgrade herself, Twirl went to Cybertron with all of the other Mini-Cons to fight their creator Unicron. One year after the battle, she returned to Earth and helped form an independant Mini-Con city.

Toy
Twirl's toy is a redeco of the Air Assault Team Mini-Con Thunderwing_(UT), transforming into a stealth bomber, with a third spinning-blade weapon mode. Like most Mini-Cons, she has a Powerlinx socket that lets he attach to any toy with a compatible plug. She was available only with the seventh volume of Micron Legend (the Japanese name for the Armada series) on DVD in Japan.
