Brian I’ll be set up at Charticon, NC’s first Transformers fan show, in Charlotte on August 9-11. I was asked to pencil a Wreckers pinup as part of a package for certain attendees (I think that was the deal anyway.) Other than the suggestion that they be fighting Sharkticons and a possible Quintesson in the background, I had free reign to pick whatever Wreckers characters I wanted. I picked Top Spin and Twin Twist.
I remember when those two toys came out with the marketing campaign that they transformed ALL BY THEMSELVES! Which meant you put them in vehicle mode, pulled them back to wind up the spring, let them go and after they went a little ways they would pop up — hopefully landing on their feet. Viola! Transformed!
I still have mine – both sitting on a shelf in my studio. Maybe I’ll see if they still transform……ALL BY THEMSELVES!
