Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Does anyone recall if Twin twist was rumoured at all too ? It would be a terrible shame to break the pair up it's bad enough that they constantly fail to complete sets as it is.
Honestly, I'd say if we're getting a Topspin then Twin Twist is pretty much confirmed.
Its been 5 years and we still dont have a DOTM Twin Twist. jokes aside, this confirms nothing. Hasbro has often released only one of the casette bots without releasing the other. There is no Prime frenzy, no Platinum Rewind, no Alternators Frenzy and when they were gonna release that Frenzy/Rumble RTS mold it was only gonna be one of them (they ended up not even releasing it). All I am trying to say is keep your expectations low. I am sure Twin Twist will happen one day, but us getting Toppsin doesnt make it more or less likely than before, especially when they never shared a mold before.

So far, it has mainly been the Legends figures that have crossed over the toylines, with exception to the Jetfire/Seeker Leader Class mold. All the Deluxes and Voyagers have been unique models to the respective lines, mainly because of the gimmicks.
Only in retrospect, but that doesnt mean anything. Look at Alpha Trion. It was confirmed that he was supposed to come out before Titans Return and just go from Robot to Lion. But he was then put on hold (like Gnaw and Brawn) and eventually brought on later and because he was released now, they crammed a third mode into him, which was made from the engineering done for Braodside, which could explain why its so odd.
Also, you forgot PMOP which is also a remnant of a mold released in a previous line.
And of course, Chromedome was confirmed by Hasbro to be designed from the dead end mold. So thats legends, deluxes, voyagers and leaders, all showing remnants of previous lines.

Just in case you dont know, we already know overlord is coming, hes been confirmed and we can have a very good idea of how he will look due to Skyshadow wince they share the same mold.

Blitzwing will have a TM which looks just like himself, since he will share the same as the one Megatron has. And for the collectors out there, the toys that Japan dont get are always the more collectable Hasbro toys internationally. Rook and Offroad sold for quite a pretty penny there. To add to the rarity, these are shortpacked. I foresee these being the ones that go for more on the aftermarket in a year from now. While I wont be getting Breakaway, these two look like a lot of effort and planning went into them so I might get them.

So, if Hasbro continues the trend, and makes a Slag head (possibly out of Fangry), do you think that it might look good on Kup? (Slag is the only Dinobot that would make sense with smaller arms). I already have a Hardhead with Clobber and Highbrow with Ptero. I also think Chromedome could be Snarl and Broadside could be Sludge.
As a side note, the Ptero head looks quite nice on Triggerhappy, and we're now getting what is essentially a Decepticon Hardhead Transector. I guess Astrotrain could work as Sludge...
Or maybe Hasbro won't release any more Dinobot heads, or just straight-up release the Dinobots in this line or one to come (with the rumors of beast combiners).
Any thoughts, suggestions, or disagreements are welcome.

Gatorface was some kids' movie about a humanoid gator monster,
Chasm was a fan-character dragon cassette, possibly created by Raksha,
and Freezeout...hails from 10th Avenue.
Couldn't ask for more! Well, not from HasTak. But I'm REEEEAAALY hoping we get a 3rd party TipTop and Heater set. Quake was my first and only 'Con Targetmaster for well over a decade, so properly arming a proper update means a lot to me.
My dream has been to get an updated set of Monsterbots. I am brutally disappointed that Repugnus is a tiny little headmaster vehicle thing. Deeply saddened by this terrible turn of events. Why wouldn't they make him a deluxe like Doublecross, can anyone explain this to me?
I was hoping to not have to go 3rd party for my updated Monsterbot team but Hasbro has forced my hand.
The Club's update for Krok is better, if we are going for a ful homage to G1. But Hasbro is pretty witty. The robot mode is the Action Master but the beast mode is purely gatoraider. Look at how close they stick with the G1 crocodile, all the black and yellow is there:
Edit: G1 Krok never had an alt mode, so giving him a crocodile mode instead of a spaceship/jet is not a bad idea. Especially since his name fits that better.

i mean the Head of Quake looks like Overlord's... although it needs a gray silver paint on the face and some retooling done on the helmet and that's it

Since Sky Shadow's Titan Master already looks like one of Overlord's Godmasters, and since Titans Return Leader class toys get helmets that cover the craniums of their Titan Masters anyway, Quake's Titan Master most likely won't be used for Overlord.

For Topspin, i'll get him, together with Sixshot and Astrotrain Funny thing is, how did get a name of the titan master, Freezeout? i guess he's chilling all day Looking forward for Misfire based on him as a Retool (And Slugslinger too, i can't forget that guy!)
