What is his relationship too Sam?
Uncle? Brother? Cousin?

Just a little trivia question.

Just a little trivia question.

If this went off the Marvel comics then it would be his older brother who later on went to "pilot" Fortress Maximus..
Of course, Buster Witwicky was the comics main human character.

What I understand is, 1984, Spike and Sparkplug first meet the Autobots when they were rescued on the oil platform. Then Spike meets Carley and they have a son, whom they named Daniel. (Transformers The Movie)

"Buster" and "Spike," as well as Butch, were all names considered for the Witwicky boy character in early production material. One such early document shows Spike as the original name, but crossed off and corrected with "Buster" in pen (in Bob Budiansky's handwriting). This suggests that Buster was intended to be the final name of the principal human character, but either Sunbow did not receive the revised materials, or a mistake was made somewhere. It is believed that "Butch" was a very, very early name for the character.

Sorry... what do you mean?

I think you misunderstand my quote.

Roadbuster was made into a Human Alliance toy, fully like the movie version, guns and rockets and a human NASC car driver.

I was wondering if Hasbro will do the same with the other 2 wreckers.

Earlier drafts of the script did have Sam earning the nickname "Spike" another way, but this was dropped before the script was finalized."

So the Autobot Alliance has child soldiers now?
