In Season Two of Transformers: EarthSpark, there is a fun storyline where new Terrans are created from shards of the Emberstone that have been corrupted. The resulting Terrans look just like the existing heroes, but they are actually polar opposites (dubbed the Chaos Terrans). I'm always a fan of this type of storytelling trope. Star Trek's Mirror Mirror was the first example I was exposed to. But even recently there has been Mirrorverse's Fractured characters, and flipped Miraculous characters. This is smart for merchandising too, because a simple repaint can be embraced as a wholly new character. In EarthSpark, the Chaos Terran version of Twitch is named Spitfire and was a surprise character when her first toy was solicited back in May (she didn't appear in the cartoon until June). I especially like her look because minty-green Transformers always remind me of Moonracer, who was my favorite of the original female Autobots from The Search for Alpha Trion. Let's check out Spitfire below!
Note the Decepticon faction logo on the packaging. I'm unsure if she ever truly aligns with the Decepticons, but I'll make sure to catch up on all the episodes before her Warrior Class figure is released.
Like Twitch, Spitfire also transforms into a drone.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Spitfire with last year's Twitch 1-Step Changer.
Here are a collection of my 1-Step Changers. From Left to Right: Airachnid, Twitch, Elita-1, and Spitfire.
Cheers!
