Mech iDeas DC01 Apex and DC02 Geminus (aka Twintwist and Topspin)

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

:shock: Crikey!

Does Santa allow late additions to my list because these now look awesome!
I was just about to un-box my Movie Topspin & Armor Topspin to take a place in my Neo-Wreckers line up, but these look a hella more fitting?

I don't know what to make of these. They're certainly fantastic looking figures, and the price for them is extraordinary. A lot of the other third parties should be ashamed of the prices they charge.

It's just the vehicle modes that bug me about these two. Twin Twist looks more like a tank with a drill attachment than a dedicated drilling machine, while Topspin looks less like a small and nimble surface speeder and reminds me of the dropship from Aliens. I think it'd help if the drills or wings were bigger.

Still, Bravo! :APPLAUSE:

Looks awesome.... but I plan to get the ruination wrecker combine team... which i believe include these two correcT? hmm.. I wonder how these two would look replacing the two from that team, cause I'm not going to combine my wreckers...

Does anyone have clear pics of the ruination team? can't seem to find good ones.
Looking for:

Roadbuster, Whirl and Impactor look ok, maybe not as those characters, but okay nonetheless. Topspin as an ice-cream isn't doing it for me, and Twin-Twist is greatly hampered by being made from Brawl. aka Wardrobe.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Damn... If I'd know about that I wouldn't have bought the G2 and 2 of the FoC versions...

I would've happily used that set for part of the Wreckers set I've recently been thinking of putting together. Wish my painting skills were better...

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.

Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
No, I am not friendly online or in real life.
I look forward to attending a Botcon only to settle matters with idiots in person.

Roadbuster - Hasbro Roadbuster with Natobot upgrade

Whirl - ROTF Whirl with Headrobots upgrade (or Tomahawk upgrade)

Impactor - Hasbro FOC Onslaught repaint (until Igear does him justice)

Guzzle - Cyberverse (just for kicks)

I have no plans to use Kup, Springer, Perceptor, etc. as Wreckers.

Just checked my emails to find the same update which I am really pleased about!

If this extra head works for the buyer or not, it is a great extra freebie for the folks that popped a pre-order in, which I feel makes ordering from 3rd Party companys an added bonus and gives a warm feeling in ones gyros! :D

More of this please 3rd Party companys! :grin:
