I really like this idea for a couple of reasons. Firstly, while I like the characters topspin and twintwist, I never reallyliked the way that they couod really only swing their arms back and forth which in my mind kind of limited their playability to Autobot marching drills. Having articulation at the knees and elbows would be awesome. Also, not sure if Hasbro will ever redo these characters, and if they do, will they be redecos of previously used molds?
If these come to fruition, I'll put them on the list. Robot figures are a big step up from the iphone cases and yet to be released shockwave gun accessory this company has previously done though.
Um... yes? To both?Quote:

Ohhh facepalm!!:o
I had forgotten about these, but I guess I was more refering to a more G1-esque model. These repaints don't really provide me with any cues to the G1 topspin and twintwist.
Cool
I wouldn't call those 'redoing the characters' but to each their own.Quote:

Their proportions are also a little weird, their upper bodies are too wide and they have little legs giving them somewhat Gorilla proportions but that could be the CGI render. In G1, the Jumpstartes had huge thick legs giving them stocky but consistent proportions.
In light of these? - An easy thing to do! :pQuote:

Not the most amazing 3rd party release we have seen of late, but they do the job.
And another new 3rd party? Who knew collectors Transforming robots were so popular, apparently not Hasbro.
Now who is going to make Rack and Ruin?
Really? If that's not 'redoing the characters' then nor were BotCon/Classics/Universe (etc.) Springer, Huffer, Dreadwind, Banzai-Tron, Devastator, 'Crasher', Nightbeat, Ratbat, Leozack, Skyquake, Alpha Trion, Big Daddy, Blurr and your entire Dawn Of Futures Past collection.Quote:
