Courtesy of site sponsor Kapow Toys and Japanese Transformers blog Autobase Aichi we have images a DOTM Deluxe Topspin repaint. This could possibly be the Twin Twist figure that will be featured in the Target exclusive two-pack along with Deluxe Leadfoot that was announced at BotCon or we could be looking at Armored Topspin. We're still uncertain at this time, but take a look at the images mirrored below and speculate away.

Pretty cool scheme. That's gonna be one big Nascar Rally race for those that have all of the Wreckers and their repaints!

I figured they'd repaint him in this paint scheme, since the Kobalt Tools paint scheme is pretty much the only one Jimmie Johnson runs other than the standard Lowe's.
I'll buy him, but I still want a Jeff Gordon #24 Transformer.

I'm guessing this is "Armor Topspin" rather than Twintwist. He's in the next wave after the Cyberfire BB and Specialist Ratchet wave. His wave is Armor Topspin, Dark Iron, and Air Raid.

But who knows.

I'm pretty sure it is, too.

From the Botcon picture, Twintwist was still blue.

whoever it is, I have to have him and I normally hate movie figures. Just looked through the gallery to see if it was a movie toy I hadn't seen before that was being repainted here, because it looked so good. Turns out, I'd looked at the original, it was just instantly forgettable. This on the other hand looks fantastic. The car mode colours are nice, but the robot mode blows a whole lot of even my recent purchases, let alone stuff I've passed on, out of the water!

It looks Trailbreakery.

I actually like this figure more than I like the original. The head looks really cool in this scheme. But, I bought the original, so I'll probably skip out on this.

Hmm. Looks pretty good, better in bot mode than vehicle mode. The light grey plastic doesn't do it any favors. If it comes in a 2-pack with Leadfoot I don't mind, but I won't go out of my way to pick it up otherwise.

It's a great mold, I'll prob buy it if it comes out as a loose repaint.

More importantly, we must haves the Deluxe Leadfoot, we wants it, we must haves it now! [/gollum]

The 2 pack is due in August or September, I don't remember which.

That's actually pretty cool.

by **all_the_primes** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 2:12 pm

Cool, but I hate to pass... I'm saving my money on future transformers.

That made me LoL

A deluxe leadfoot pleases me much

I kind of like it, but not enough to get it on its own. I have a feeling it's Armor Topspin, since I think I remember someone saying it was silver, but I hope it's Twin Twist, since I'm planning to get that set anyway for Leadfoot. On the other hand, if Twin Twist ends up being ugly, I won't mind taking his guns for other figures as much...
