Between the twins, Wheeljack and Tracks, you can pose the backpack, wings, launchers, and wheels in various positions (not to mention the legs). It's almost as much fun as the Sideswipe mold.

That was the last issue and most people still haven't gotten the next one. No worries.
Yet.

Turns out the wait wasn't bad at all as Runamuck just showed up in my mailbox today!

Thanks my friend. I make no secrets on where I stand with my collection. As far as these guys being the "real twins" I feel Sunstreaker and Sideswipe never really had any particular bond to be considered twins. One was a real Lamborghini Countach, the other a futuristic take on the same car. Thats about all. And let me not get into Mudflap and Skids...

Currently at a friend's place in the US, which means I'm not getting it in-hand till late June. Oh well, at least it made it safely...

But I somehow do picture these two guys as twins in the way they interact. And of course the twins Mudflap and Skids... you know... the G1 one ehobby ones. The others do...not...exist. *puts fingers in ears and yells la-la-la-la*

Skids and Screech I think you mean, and yeah the others are not even worth thinking about.
I'm annoyed that I may have to part ways with my Over-run since I wasn't willing to deal with the club any more. Cool either one of these guys may be, but having one without the other does kinda detract from the overall package.

Mudflap was never in G1... Mudflap 1st appeared in Cybertron/Galaxy Force as a traitor... But I'm sure you knew that and just refuse to acknowledge the existence of the bay-twins.

And I was wrong! It was Over-Run, not Runamuck. On the walk back home though I kinda hoped they had pulled out the car shaped foam insert and stuck him in there. Now that would've been cool!

These are all my personal opinions. If you and everyone else think it's awesome, that's fine. The car mode is OK. Bot mode? The feet are a problem for me. They're too flat, wide and huge. Also, it's tall enough to be with the Generations deluxes, even the original G1 figures. But to me it's just too wide and flat in the upper body as well. It makes the feet stand out even more. It's like he has clown shoes on. It was borderline acceptable with Wheeljack, because the original looked just like it, but these 2? The characters to me were never important enough to overcome my dislike of the figure features. Actually, the color scheme on Over-run is alright, if he was the membership freebie by himself, I probably would have kept him. But I just don't like the white on Runamuck. Too plain. Also, the fact that they go together and Runamuck without Over-run would be kinda pointless to have is another turn off. I wouldn't mind having Over-run, I would keep him in car mode, though. But Runamuck isn't appealing to me even in car mode. That's why I don't like this figure.

But those feet and the short height are the reasons the mold is perfect for them! And the white isn't a plain white like Wheeljack's, it's off white. Like an oyster or eggshell white. It's about as different from plain white as Over-Run's charcoal gray is from black.
Basically, if you love and want these guys (and I do), these are the way to go.

No luck for today and I'll be away from home until Friday.
I'll just have to console myself with which ever figure my wife got me for our anniversary while I'm unable to check.
