But Topspin isn't a tank, let alone a ground vehicle.

The Jumpstarter. This is a G1-centric line and no-one really knows the other two - one of them's even pretty much the same guy just in a different timeline.

Huh? First time I've heard Scourge being retooled into Highbrow. Checking the Wiki... and I'll be damned. Still, with the amount of parts in common being minimal, it's more of a case of part sharing, like Blurr does with Chromedome.

Which one? Red cherry punch, blue raspberry or green apple?

I HATE when they do that.

So, were you able to find them during your hunt? Or are you getting them now that they are online?

But I think ideally they'd modify the Brainstorm mold with a new forked front and wings.

I really think there's a good chance he'll get a new mold. Although he isn't even rumored yet, they could easily retool him into Twintwist. Boom you got your two mold uses.
