I don't have him and I'm not paying the TR price, so Happy Meal it is!Sabrblade wrote:And Topspin is the one who flies atop the clouds.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Twin Twist is the one with the "twin drills"
Huh. I always thought he was a landboat.
More power to you! I just don't get why he couldn't be pale blue and white like the original. Is this just a simple repaint? He still has his Titan master head.sol magnus wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:But that's Twin Twist...?

That's what I figured. Dark blue body with red arms. I'm not too familiar with these characters or their original toys, did they have variations with these colors that the new Legacy versions are homaging?Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:More power to you!

As simple a redeco as they come. Topspin should be similar in color, but switched (the original toys were gang-molded I believe).

So why not just paint them the same and release them again? Maybe with 1 or 2 very minor differences so the TR and Legacy versions can be told apart.sol magnus wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:More power to you!

Yep. The same, down to the Titan Master, molded in different colors.
Ah. I see. Like I said, I'm unfamiliar. I still say these should have been Selects or Buzzworthy releases, or at least release the blue and white deco through those lines.sol magnus wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:That's what I figured.

Pretty sure it was Springer and Impactor, actually, but that still brings up basically the same issue for a lot of folks.Grahf_ wrote:But the last rumor I remember reading said something about the voyagers Springer and Bulkhead being packed with the Fossilizers which is considerably less than ideal.

Well they can, kind of.... as in the case of where I live. For several months, there was no Generations product (WFC or SS) being restocked on shelves at Walmarts or Targets near me, yet Cyberverse and Buzzworthy were always present, and plentiful, so its "movement" was hard to distinguish and it just never made sense. If world conditions were truly hindering the shipment of things, especially from the same manufacturer, and same brand even, why so many of one type, and not another...
I mean it doesn't keep me up at night or anything, and pretty much what I never saw in store, I was able to get online which is fine, its just one of those oddities I'll probably never have an answer to.
DeathReviews wrote:Interesting. TR Twin Twist was one of several figures in that line which were nearly impossible to find. TR Arcee was another, as well as Topspin. I don't recall seeing any of those on shelves anywhere. Wonder if they'll make this re-issue equally hard to find. My, they DO enjoy showing us things that are constantly unavailable, don't they?
o.supreme wrote:I think you might be confusing TR Arcee with Windblade? She along with Twinteist and Misfire were part of the 5th wave of deluxes that really didn't appear in US retail, then showed up at Ollie's on discount. Another victim of poor distribution.
TR Arcee was the Blurr redeco that was a convention exclusive.

I dunno. Their designer seemed awfully proud of it in his reveal video. Seems like they would have instructed him to make them compatible if that's what they wanted.

Ah yes, because Takara is responsible for all of the good things about Transformers and Hasbro is responsible for all of the bad thingsZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I bet Takara are annoyed.
