2005 Board member Peaugh has uploaded his 1000th video review. In celebration of this monumentous occasion, he has reviewed something special. Or rather, a pair of something specials; test shots of Mech Ideas Apex and Geminus! This pair of Not-Wreckers based on G1 Twin Twist and Topspin, were announced in July back at TFcon. Peaugh goes into detail how the figures will transform, what accessories they come with and provides size comparisons with other Not-Wreckers Defender and Assaulter from Fansproject.

Stop making me want toys I care nothing about!
Awesome review as always, Vangelus.

Vangelus doing a third party review?
Why, that is totally unheard of!
(I swear if anyone takes this seriously.)

I go tthe extra head. Anyone know if there is another common Hasbro body that you can fit it on?
theestampede
still on the fence about spending the money ( f(x) stuff is more a priority) or even which to get, but they look fantastic.
Curious though, did they not come with the advertised extra head?
CZ Hazard
Had the figures for nearly 3 weeks, still watching a review of them by Vangelus. That is the sign of a good reviewer.

Yeah, the way the arms looked made me hesitate for a long time, but in the end I bought a set, and I would echo what ubertenorman said – swivel them around so the wrist flap is on the other side except for those times when you need the double joint in the elbow.
The fun factor on these guys cannot be overstated – they're just awesome to transform and awesome to keep changing their poses, and yes, the gunmetal on the weapons is sublime.
ubertenorman
If you rotate the wrist and bicep 180° the elbow looks a lot better. You don't get the full 180° bend but it's still a respectable 135°. I think it's in some official photos but not in the instructions IIRC.

There's only one organism creative enough to portray the charisma in these two outstanding figures, and there's a good chance that organism is Vangelus.
Some really great poses in here! I wish I'd thought of sibling-surfing.

Here is an additional video review in Chinese… It has a good comparison of the Mech Ideas toys with the G1 Jumpstarters.

They don't tab in, but the joints are stiff enough, and the pieces rest on a ledge so that they're pretty stable. I've had no problems.
No, not officially, but I'm building a team of "third party" wreckers on my shelf. It's currently steel core, defender, Assaulter, Fahrenheit (protector with the dr. Wu visor face), frostbite and furnace (Blesser and sidearm) as Fahrenheit's partners, apex, Geminus, and The Uranos guys. They're up against a con team (not sure if they're. 3P DJD or Mayhem Attack Squad) of Warcry, Flameblast, the FP deluxe insecticons, Hercules, the assault
Force version of PE's reflector, Fallout (the SG Optimus Battle Tanker), and once he finally arrives, the leader, Chaos paladin.
Totally fan made teams, just wanted a big guy on the bots to counter Herc.

Same here –^
And thanks for the great vid, Peaugh, as always! I'm still on the fence, as there are just so many great 3p products out or very soon coming up, but I may go for it.
