Releasing both figures at once + having a Takara-like price point = BRAVO! These are preordered!

They look fantastic, but I've been more interested in collecting toys of characters that appeared in the show...

My collecting rules have been broken a few time in the last couple of months and I'm tempted to break them again #-o

I'm probably posting in the wrong place to be talked out of buying them :lol:

not at all, if you think they won't fit in your collection, then don't get them. I personally think they look well worth the money, but they're certainly very similar. I can see how some might find them unnecessary.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

It's not that they won't fit; in fact they could fit quite nicely. The price is another really good thing about them and lots of people buying this might just show other 3P companies that they should drop their prices a little.

I might end up pre-ordering and waiting to see how my finances work out closer to release.

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...
