I was only planning to get Broadside from this point on, but the more I see Topspin, the more I look forward to buying him. Which is weird since he's one of those characters who never caught my attention until now.

I never owned a G1 Topspin and found it unimpressive-looking the first time I saw it, but I found the Jumpstarter gimmick to be strangely fun and addictive (a friend lent me his). In the comics he was just background character who was just there (until he died).

But this new Deluxe looks great, and the alt-mode looks like Technobot Strafe, except with a cockpit. He looks like he could be a heavy retool of Triggerhappy based on this pic: http://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/u.../Topspin-9.jpg
