Better Look at Upcoming Amazon Exclusive Wrecker Twin Twist

Twin Twist is the one with the "twin drills"

And I kinda like him. I have the original TR Topspin (with minor cosmetic molding defects), never even saw Twin Twist so once the Topspin redeco is revealed they're on my list.

btw Anybody have suggestions on which spare Battle Masters could go with them?

I don't have him and I'm not paying the TR price, so Happy Meal it is!

Huh. I always thought he was a landboat.

As did I. I mean, they roll, that's the whole point.
Anyways, don't know what you'll are talking about, everywhere I look I see it written Twin Twist *whistling*

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.

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

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?

Yep. The same, down to the Titan Master, molded in different colors.

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.

DI--AA-CRONE

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.

I mean, I'm glad we're getting variety in decos and they make sense, and honestly, these are more colorful.

I hope that Top Spin and Twin Twist are either packaged separately, together with each other or together with one of the rumored Fossilizers. I would like multiples and it would easier if they were either by themselves or with other figures I would want multiples of. 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.

Regardless, I want at least two of each of these. One set stock and then the second to parts swap. I wish I got two of each of the TR and TL versions but I should be lucky I found a set of the TR versions and stopped at one set of the TL versions. I parts swapped the TL versions as the TR versions are more in line color wish with what I remember having back in the 80's. The TL versions while beautiful and crisp color wise, are perhaps too vibrant looking to fully portray Top Spin and Twin Twist. At least for me. So they now have the names of their TR versions Titamasters, Freezeout and Flameout.

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.

What you are describing isn't empty shelves. I'm talking of the people who say their shelves are void of any TF toys, which we have seen did happen. In those cases, the Cyberverse toys did completely sell out and supply could not meet demand.

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?
