    Just got all Twin Twist parts, some tinkering is required but mostly ready to go! TopSpin will require some work as he is a ... flier?

    Tidy!

    As for Topspin, his G1 bio suggests he's a jet-propelled amphibious cybertronian ground vehicle (reading between the lines maybe kind of hovercraft-ish or perhaps an Ekranoplan):

    "In vehicle mode, Topspin is propelled by two rear-mounted jet engines, which can accelerate him to speeds of 300 mph on a flat surface. He also is equipped with two pontoons proiwing from his front, which allow him to travel up to 80 mph on water, like a hydrofoil."

    Though of course you can do what you like with him alt wise I quite like the Ground Effect Craft idea myself, it's something that little bit different.

    I like alt mode 3, but I would design smaller/better feet to clean it up.

    So awesome! Looking great so far. What about an adapter to his front 5mm hole to make it two holes?

    Ooh, that's nice! You could also try what essentially looks like a splitter. A bar with two ports that plugs into the one port on the front. Then you can have both drills forward facing and not over the treads.

    I like it.

    More simply, the Hot Spot mold could just be Pyro.
